Agreed. I think Scattershot is what he is: an alternative to half-empty Onslaught cases.Hellscream9999 wrote:william-james88 wrote:steals_your_goats wrote:
See I'm still torn on going Hasbro or Takara. The transmissions rumors said the limbs would break down as such
Aerialbot retool as strafe (air raid?)
Stunticon retool as lightspeed (probably the Wheeljack retool)
Groove remold as afterburner
And nosecone will use the brawl retooling.
I hate all of this so much. Firstly, we are still stuck with the crap scattershot and that nosecone retool from brawl will look like a steaming pile of doodoo.
Well Scattershot looks a lot like his G1 self, in a sense like how MM looks like his G1 self... They've been updated, and just like with MM, or Firefly, or Mixmaster we'll all learn to live with it. I'm sure with a new combined mode head, and an actual paint scheme you could warm up to an actual scattershot
If (and I think that’s still a big “if”) we get a full team, I’m thinking this can go two ways:
1) A wave of deluxe Technobots (and accompanying legend figure). However, that would be so far down the line that that Scattershot would get a second wave. If so, he might get an updated version, as with red/white Prime and the expected silver/green Onslaught.
2) Box set. I personally think that this is the most likely, since Titans Returns will probably tie up the deluxe and voyager wave assortments. The Scattershot would definitely get updated in that case.
Either way, we wouldn’t see any new Scattershot until Titans Returns is underway, so I have a pretty heavy suspicion why no one bothered to give the current torso a new Computron head...
