To me this is a better fit for a sort of Cybertronian Scorponok or something like that. Very big, very stylized, very manga. I dig it, but it's probably not a good fit as a 'Classics' Scorponok because the design is kinda out there.
That's exactly where I would put it, too. Unfortunately, I don't have a WFC/FOC shelf - those figures are intermingled with my Classics guys (and soon, gals). Blasphemy, I know.

The 3rd party prices are starting to be ridiculous...if you can get a Tomy Metroplex Titan class for less than this........makes you want to start thinking if it (Pandinus) is worth the pain and effort.
Given the insane popularity of Botcon Scorponok this year, it's hard to imagine HasTak NOT doing one of their own in the next 2-3 years. I'm definitely making that gamble.
Also, given the (presumed) success of Titan Metroplex, I can't imagine a Trypticon is not in the pipeline. Like Metroplex, it will probably take a couple years to tool the thing, but I think we'll get him eventually.
