I didnt buy the green one and I wont buy this one. Im very selective about scouts and I just dont find a forklift to be very intimidating for a Decepticon's transformation.

The GIANT ARM BLADES don't do it for you?

color scheme reminds me of galaxy force cobybot
but based on the replys i'm sure its just a gobot homage

Not sure about the blades cause once something is too big, it looks out of proportion rather then threatening. Hey I pulled Spoon out the closet. Now that I see both together, I think the grey does not go with the original Gobot paint scheme to be an accurate homage. Anbody else agree ???

Must be one hell of a legal nightmare to get the trademark "Spoon".

The grey and silver is an acceptable addition to the adaptation. Because for one it makes the coloration in vehicle mode more realistic. We have similar looking forklifts at work, right down to the shade of red-orange, and it matches this pretty well.

The other is that a solid lump of orange isn't going to look very interesting or sell.

The gray is fine seeing most Spoons had a gray chest and the robot mode is suppose to have the lift blades folded up on the leg not left sticking out.

Strange that yours had an orange chest. Are you sure it's an Original, seeing the archive says he wasn't remolded/recolored.

Maybe Spoons the 2nd?

This is so much win I just have to buy it.

Spoons is a Gobot from the mid-80's. Not sure if he was a good guy or bad guy cause I never had the original packaging. You guys got some good points...I do agree that the grey makes a more realistic looking forklift. I never knew a grey chest version of the original Gobot existed. I googled and all I got was the all orange version I have. I found this guy at the beach as a child so he is a little banged up. He is missing a clip-on piece at the waist and the forklifts are so loose they wont stay up at the legs in robot mode...LOL. Does anybody have a picture of the grey chest version of spoon to compare to the new homage figure ???

Spoons was a member of the Renegade faction of Gobots toys.
