The Energon Pub

I have a question for those of you who picked up the TRU Blackout and Scorponok 2 Pack. Does Blackout still come with the mini white Scorponok in the 2 pack?

Yup. Which really makes no sense. But people would be pissed and/or confused when they saw the empty spot on the back of him.

Thanks for the help

Does the 2-pack Blackout still have the automorph problem? All the single packed Blackouts are gone in my area. I don't really want Skorponok but it's the same price...

I saw maybe 20 of these and all had kind of blurry packaging.

I could not get the automorph to work on mine, so I'll say yes.

It had an automorph feature?

My sad attempt at a joke.

Urgh. Maybe I'll have to skip this figure altogether.

Mines fine. Pull the legs down, head flips up, right? Or am I missing the automorph feature altogether??

Scorpinok is so much better than what people think he is.

His mold detail and paint apps are awesome.

QFT. The details and paint apps on Scorpy are phenomenol. F the robot mode, alt mod eis awesome.

I hate the scorponok. Possibly my favorite G1 character and the new one is STUPID. He's a remake of a damn Happy Meal toy.

That's how it's supposed to work, but a lot of people have had problems with it not fitting back into helicopter mode properly... maybe I'll just take my chances and see what I get.

As for Scorpy, he doesn't have much of a robot mode and I'm not really one for non-vehicle TF's...but since he's Blackout's partner and practically free in the 2-pack, I'll let it slide.
