Replacing "defective" figures with "better" versions

Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

Energon Scorponok is on my list so I don't want to buy one only to destroy it soon after. :D


I have a feeling it's those clear plastic parts.

It's the bronze part behind the clear one.
The b**ch was broken when I bought it at the store I kept it as it was the only Scorpy I could find, so last year I bought a new one loose just to find it broken at the exact same spot with an almost identical damage a few weeks later. :MAD: now I have two broken ones, I hope I find the Takara one for a good price.

Hmm, I'll have to watch out for that if I ever get a hold of E Scorpy or Dark Scorponok.

OK guys, broke down and bought Screen Battles Capture of Bumblebee. I'm still keeping my original for future repaint or restoration experimentation (Probably the latter, he makes a good G1 Edition Bumblebee). :)
With Cliffjumper, that makes the third version of the original mold that I own. Let's hope I'm not turning into Camaro Concept mold completist :P
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1

Well, I don't like the scared lemur look and gun hand, and Cannon Bumblebee is half-baked. O, I don't like the Battle Mask either :P

Hehe, you make the BB army sad. No invasion for them.

I just have HA BB but I'm very happy with the figure. I'm glad I held off on getting any of the previous movie BBs.

I still need Classic Camaro Bumblebee, the Japanese one, but other than that...

I like how the red in the Energon Scorpy's colour scheme gives the visuals more of a punch. It looks like a nice dark red too. :)

I see, but it's a weird coincidence to have two figure break at the same place.
