What improvements to Scorpy did you have in mind?

It'll def cost more than a tit job, that's for sure.
Knees would be nice, for one.

Knees that bend the right way at least.

If they're going to do more unproduced figures I'd really like to see this one get made:

"New Rodimus"

It was going to be a companion piece for the original Star Convoy alongside Sky Garry and Grandus in 1991, but never got made.

According to Takara the two were designed by different people that hadn't seen each other's work (New Rodimus was designed first). Strange coincidence if true.

Edit: Comparing the two I'm not really seeing any similarities, I don't know what all the hubbub was about. Universe Inferno looks more like New Rodimus.

"New Rodimus."

Wow.

That must have taken them a long time and lots of creativity to come up with that name. >:oP

Well, what would you expect from the Japanese people who gave us "Star Convoy", "Grandus", and "Sky Garry"?

To the Japanese, "It's English words, so it sounds cool to us."

In Japan that probably sounded exotic at the time, like how their word "shin" (new) sounds to us.

At least "Sky Garry" sound silly and original, "Star Convoy" sound cool and ultimate, and "Grandus" is basic, but does the job.
"New Rodimus" just sound like a jar of detergent.
