The
official BotCon 2014 website has just revealed the next figure in this year's Pirates vs. Knights convention exclusive boxset! Fans have wanted a G1 redeco of the
Energon Scorponok mold for years, and that's just what we're getting! Not only that, the figure has been retooled into a true Headmaster. The Headmaster unit, Olin Son of Zarak, is a reuse of the Spike Headmaster from the recent Encore Fortress Maximus reissue. Check them out below:
Our 4th reveal for the BotCon 2014 Convention set - PIRATES VS KNIGHTS! This is our BIGGEST reveal yet. Olin, son of Zarak, and rightful heir to the Hive creation known as... SCORPONOK!
For the 30th anniversary we have pulled out all the stops and engineered from an existing mold the first Headmaster toy released in 25 years. Scorponok utilizes an original 1987 Headmaster mold, featuring an all-new cartoon accurate sculpted face, as the character Olin Zarak. To make the Headmaster function work, we also created a new rotating piece located in his chest cavity which, once Zarak is transformed, allows him to become the head of Scorponok in robot mode!
This is the centerpiece of the 2014 convention set. We have in hand samples and we are thrilled at what a remarkable toy he is. We can’t wait for everyone who wants one to get their hands on this amazing figure!

We will have the BotCon Brochure and online registration available this month, so stay tuned for more toy reveals, guest announcements and all kinds of information regarding the biggest and best Transformers convention of the year, BotCon 2014!
