I have a question for those of you who picked up the TRU Blackout and Scorponok 2 Pack. Does Blackout still come with the mini white Scorponok in the 2 pack?

Yup. It says so here. http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=Products/Detail&product_id=19777

Yup. Which really makes no sense. But people would be pissed and/or confused when they saw the empty spot on the back of him.

Does the 2-pack Blackout still have the automorph problem? All the single packed Blackouts are gone in my area. I don't really want Skorponok but it's the same price...

I saw maybe 20 of these and all had kind of blurry packaging.

I could not get the automorph to work on mine, so I'll say yes.

It had an automorph feature?

:-)

My sad attempt at a joke.

Urgh. Maybe I'll have to skip this figure altogether.

Mines fine. Pull the legs down, head flips up, right? Or am I missing the automorph feature altogether??

Scorpinok is so much better than what people think he is.

His mold detail and paint apps are awesome.

I hate the scorponok. Possibly my favorite G1 character and the new one is STUPID. He's a remake of a damn Happy Meal toy. :-x

That's how it's supposed to work, but a lot of people have had problems with it not fitting back into helicopter mode properly... maybe I'll just take my chances and see what I get.

As for Scorpy, he doesn't have much of a robot mode and I'm not really one for non-vehicle TF's...but since he's Blackout's partner and practically free in the 2-pack, I'll let it slide. :grin:
