The tail is a brilliant piece of design. :APPLAUSE:

I'm still not sure I want it over PE's offering, but I gotta admit it looks VERY nice.

I love the 'con symbol in the tail.

Ohhhhh, this is going to be expensive....

This thing looks kinda insane. And I kinda like it. Awaiting final pics and comparisons to PE's before I decide though (although I might be able to convince myself that it's worth having 2 versions; 1 representing his 'Earth mode' and the other representing his 'Cybertronian mode', hehe).

PE's Scorponok I think goes with warden. so it'll be voyager size? This is huge!

So freakin' awesome!

Think this is the best Scorponok toy ever created.

Looks like a movie-verse toy version of Scorponok. only with a more pretty robot head sculpt.

Think the PE Scorponok is at least a Nine inch+ Leader scale toy.

I need to see color pics. But honestly, Im not feeling it. I was expecting something a little more G1ish like their Utopia.

So it's looking decreasingly like this will be a Headmaster. :-?

I'm OK with that. Seeing actual legs in scorpion mode is cool as well, but what's with the dangling thing? Is it a pony-tail or an animal leash?

Continuing to withhold judgement.

it does look fantastic. Not sure it's for me, but can't knock the quality.

Love this but will wait for the inevitable Black Zarak recolors and retool to buy this.

Apparently it's a mini-scorpion robot that forms the head, hence the pony-tail on his head.

It's quite an intense design. Maybe a little too crazy. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty neat but i'm not really feeling it.

It's a total roided out Scorp which isn't really what i'm looking for.

I like it and kinda want it, assuming I can afford it when it's released. Won't replace Botcon Scorp, but it won't be the first time I have a duplicate something on the top of the shelf.

I'm not into this... maybe I'll feel differently when it's colored

Ugh...thats horrible. Screw this thing. Even color cant save it now. I dont have faith in perfect effects teaser either. Botcon Scorponok it is...

reminds me of the BW Neo Unicron prototype in the way it's super OTT and not in any way accurate to the vision I have of the character, but I love it nonetheless. I'd give them $200 for it tops though, so I'm fairly certain I'll be missing out.

Oh god, you've said what I've been feeling all along, I knew this reminded me of something, just couldn't put my finger on it! And that Unicron was also hunchbacked if I remember correctly.
That's exactly what this looks like.

It's especially weird considering how accurate to the original G1 design their Metroplex is. But yes, this is damn awesome.

Having the Headmaster transform into a Scorpion, tiny robot & headmaster. means it's a tripple changer. If anyone doesn't like the tiny scorpion mode, just pretend it doesn't exist & don't transform it into that mode.

Pandinus reminds me of ROTF Supreme scale Devestartor in sculpt and bulk.

Loved that BW Neo Unicron test shot. Always wanted that to get released one day. Think it pulled off a better 3-D planet mode than the 2-D Sombero hat mode AEC planet former Unicron did.

It's already a triple changer it has a robot beast & city mode. The head makes it a quadruple changer ? if you want to count that .

Every pic they post of this thing just makes me want it more. That city mode is the best city mode for a transforming robot toy I've ever seen. It looks like it's a structure right on Cybertron itself. I'm definitely getting this.
