Look who's been added to the Takaratomy Web site.
http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/TF/characters/index.htmlCould this mean Scorponok will see a reissue. Please, please tell me yes. I'd drop the money on this in a heartbeat.

I may have jumped the gun. He's only listed under characters... what a tease!

Still worth hoping for!
I had him once, and am sad that I ever let him go

I wouldn't say it is a complete impossibility. Every one of those characters are getting a reissue or have been reissued in Encore line.
As for me, I'd give my right arm to get a minty fresh Headmaster Skorponok reissue.

He's been on that page since the start of the Encore line, hopefully he gets a reissue... six months or so after Omega Supreme.

To those willing to give an arm for a reissue Skorpy, just be aware that you need two arms to transform a Transformer.
So give an eye, kidney or testicle instead.

my eyes are already so-so, but I need them to show me my convoluter state that I must constantly decifer.
Lack of a kidny means I can drink only half as much, theus ushering me back to the fore front of said convoluted state.
Giving a testical (besides being completely out of the question) would defy symetry, and I like that on my self.
So I figure if they do release this eventualy, I'd be prone to give half a weeks earnings to this(unless it's the good season). This causes me to wake up in lue of knapping, which I'd give my entire self to do.
on that note, Good Night Seibertron.com...

Skorponok has been rumored as a reissue for a while, it was always supposed to be the next release. Based on that page, I suspect that will be the nect encore we see since we did get all the character shown on that page.

Sweet, that would mean an ehibby Black Zarak would be next, which would be awesome since that is the only G1 repaint base I am missing.

True, but I've already traded my kidneys for an MISB Fort Max. I may have jumped the gun a bit.

That would be awesome as well. Am I alone in thinking that the eventual eHobby releases of the Encore figures are more exciting than the actual Encore figures? I have a G1 Skorpanok, but want a Black Zarak. I can't wait for Encore Omega Supreme, but would kill for an eHobby Omega Sentinal. I don't want Encore minibots at all, but am wishfully thinking that we could see a reissue of eHobby Decepticon minibots, even though I doubt so strongly that that will not happen.
eHobby is the best.

Since I don't drink and am getting a vesectomy at the end of March I'll give a kidney and my nuts for a Skorpy reissue!

That doesn't sound like a fair trade. Good rule of thumb - one body part per toy.
Kidney - Scorp reissue
Left nut - e-Hobby reissue

Well there is one thing that would support the possibility Scorponok being riessued this year. But I'm sure most have figured it out already.
(Most of the TF's reissued in the Encore Line were in the movie and Scorponok was in the film, though considerably smaller.)

Donate the kidney to a person in need and I will personally mail you a mint boxed original Takara Megazarak (Scorponok). No joke. PM me if you're interested.

Not alone at all. I feel the same way. I'd imagine most of already have a Scorpy, Metroplex, Omega and that most don't have one but would love a Black Zarak, Metrotitan, Omega Sentinel.

eHobby is like the more or less generally available version of Botcon figures. Sure they are just repaints, but they are usually better than the original figure. For evidence I submit eHobby Magnificus and Roadhauler and Astrotrain.

Don't want a Megazarak? That's cool. If you're willing to trade a kidney, let me know what you want. I'll get you what you need.

Since there were no pictures of Sky Lynx, Omega Supreme, etc.. to provide a hint to future reissues, I don't think the Scorponok picture is a good clue.
