An eBay auction gives us a better look at the upcoming Revenge of The Fallen Scorponok figure. At this point, Scorponok would appear to be a straight up redeco of his previous releases such as Screen Battles and Deluxe Scorponok. To view the auction for yourself, click here.

For some reason the simple colour scheme and his pretty red shoulders are entrancing me.

What's new is old and what's old is new, huh.

I might get this on clearance if found cheap enough.

Looks OK but why is it they got millions of gallons of paint to waste on movie repaints, but when it comes time to give us a complete set of seekers in any line they get greedy with the paint ???

Well, in my opinion, the new colour scheme is pretty good. I doubt I would ever use the damn robot mode to begin with. So, this colour scheme would make nice since I don't own this mold. Hell, the only version I own of Scorponok is the Voyager Accesory (and well, we all know how a big a fail that was #-o

) so I will probably pick this up for the Scorpion mode and how good I think it will look with Blackout, Soundwave, Ravage and the rest of the Decepticon family

Looks just like the one that comes with Voyager Grindor (Blackout).

But, from what we've seen of the commercials/trailers, Scorponok has changed his colors since we last saw him in Movie 1.

The red and black looks good. It's the cheap gray that kills it.

You might get a whole set of seekers if animated gets a season 4

If they repaint the legends class one I'll get it, but I'm not getting the deluxe version again.

Needs more gold, then he'd be ROTF Black Zarak

since they gave him a robot mode for the toy....imagine if they decided to throw that into this new movie.

picture it, he stands up, transforms and speaks and sounds just like kelsey grammar.

Holy cow, you're right! He is BlackZarak-esque!

The colour scheme itself isn't bad. In fact, it's quite good. But it's the mould choice that makes me wonder. I feel it's not very appropriate.

I like the new colors but i already have the one from the 2 pack from the first movie.The figures not that great any way. So im going to pass.

I like the new color scheme too, but yea, this is a clearance item for me.

I was just going to say that, myself.

What's next, a purple and green variant? Scratch that. The last thing I want to see Transformers start doing is including chase color variants into its lines...

I am also digging the new color scheme..
The white has to go though, make it something more metallic looking or something.

A very evil and menacing paint scheme. Add this on to RotF Grindor and you have a pretty nice combination.

by **Prime Riblet** » Wed May 27, 2009 3:37 pm

Another repaint that I can't justify getting. Hopefully, Scorponok doesn't get a whole lot of screen time in ROTF.

News Credits: 1 · by **YRQRM0** » Wed May 27, 2009 4:09 pm

Besides the claws, the arms and cannons look very nice. Won't be buying though, wth all the new constructicons, leader prime, HA, Fallen, Jetfire, Dvastator set, Sideswipe...

I wonder how he'll play out in the movie. I hope they don't make a whole nother scene out of him, but an appearance would still be cool. We need new stuff though.

I missed him the first time around so I may have to go for this.
Actually, I passed him up. I didn't really "miss" not having it.
This new paint job is more to my liking. I guess this makes a possible 4 out of this whole line that might actually be worth getting, not counting the Legends class Devastator which we probably wont get in the States anyway so I don't have to worry about it. 3 out of the 4 are 'Cons so the fight is looking a little unbalanced. (just like in the movie trailers)

Oh yeah, what's with everyone saying this guy has a robot mode? That's not a robot mode! The freaking family dog can sit on it's haunches and look more convincing than this thing. C'mon folks, don't call that a robot. You're just encouraging Hasbro's already overabundant laziness.

Exactly why I will absolutely pass this up. The thing has ONE real mode, and that basicly makes it NOT a Transformer. It's an action figure maybe....but not a Transformer.
