I don't think any of the torsos are a good enough fit for Sea Clamp, to be honest.

Crazy idea: Hot Spot, just because he sprays water.
You know, that was the only reasoning I too could think of for Hot Spot as Sea Clamp. Even though we're getting Onslaught for Thunder Mayhem, I feel as though Hot Spot would be the least inappropriate fit, as I really can't see Sea Clamp as being either a truck or a jet.

It is the mold I see sea clamp with most as well but not so much about the water connection but more because it is made on the long side.

Nice, wish the colors were based on the toys instead.

Though, all this talk of water is interesting, as I don't think cybertron has water, so seaclamp wouldn't need/have an aquatic alt mode, would he?

I could see him being a vehicle like onslaught :-?

Conversely:

Just fold down the ladder to make it less scorpion-like and more lobster-like.

Now paint it like bw scorponok, and give it limbs, and it could be one of his experiments - that worked out for once...

Guess I should have posted that Twitter guy's Hot Spot scorpion pics a long time ago, huh?

Sea Clamp's toy colors are essentially Scorponok's colors, aren't they?

Wouldn't it be more red though if it's using the toon colours?

True, true.

Can someone with the Hot Spot mold attempt a better lobster mode?

Yeah, but I cannot post a picture though. It does seem to work out though.

In the show, he was known for being incompetent in his experiments, referenced from the episode gorilla warfare :-B

He means that it would be one of Scorponok's experiments that actually worked for once instead of how like all his others tended to fail.

I forgot he even did experiments. He was by far the least memorable character of the first season cons.

Yeah, but that wasn't difficult, everyone else was really memorable. They all had such incredible character

Yeah, it's a shame. Everything memorable about Scorponok was outclassed by the other Preds. His undying loyalty to Megatron and second-in-command rank were taken by Inferno. His scientific experimenting was overshadowed by Tarantulas. His being a scorpion was surpassed by the scorpion-cobra Fuzor Quickstrike. Poor guy.

Well trimming the fat was what helped that show out, I mean, he played an important part before the new guys showed up, he peaked with the floating island I think, then he just plays the bit role. Important, but not glamorous, I for one remembered him distinctly after the show was over before I got the rhino release on dvd.

I remembered him because he was a scorpion, quickstrike may of took over that kind of alt mode but scorpoknok was the first to rock it

Well, with a flip out beast mode head, he could be the first ever, extremely satisfying quadruple changing combiner. With a great: vehicle, bot, and combiner torso, and a really cool beast mode :BOWDOWN:
