The Last Knight Premier Edition Voyager Scorn
Posted: Mon Jul 03, 2017 1:49 pmWhen Hasbro initially revealed Scorn as Voyager in For the recent movie, I was surprised and a little disappointed. I felt that the deluxe did a good job of representing the character and was one of the few AOE dinobot molds that has aged well. As such, I felt this figure to be unnecessary. I recently decided to give Age of Extinction a rewatch due to my disappointment with TLK, and to my pleasant surprise the Voyager happens to be an almost perfect recreation of Scorns cgi model. I hope Hasbro continues this trend of using these voyagers as a chance to create better models of past movie characters.
On to the figure itself, Scorn feels very hefty in both modes. The Dino mode has Double swivels on the neck, jaw articulation, ball jointed dino arms, double hip swivel, knee joints, tail swivel, and two joints at the tail itself. 12 points of articulation for a pretty good amount of posability in dino mode. The only weakness in the dino mode is the arm is somewhat visible on the belly but it really isnt that bad. In fact I'd say its the best dino mode weve received from the movie line.
Its robot mode features a ball jointed head, double swivel shoulders, elbow swivels, bicep swivels, one wrist swivel, movable claw/fingers, two joints at the tail/lance, double thigh swivel, knee joints, and ankle tilts. 17 points of articulation, unfortunately no waist movement due to the transformation. Scorn feels very imposing, im hoping takara decides to do a black knight repaint with this guy because id scoop that up in a heartbeat. He just looks so evil to me.
TLDR
Hasbro has given us a dinobot with two strong robot and alt modes. The transformation is complex but fun. TLK Scorn is definitely the king of the movie dinobot figures, now i hope Hasbro takes the lessons learned with this guy to create an improved grimlock, as that character is begging for an update to the two awkward figures hes received.
