... those base modes are really freaking similar. Ramp in the middle, two extending parts out of each side, two spires at the back... it scares me.
I really hope they don't do it and, well, obviously they shouldn't because base modes aside even a blind dude could tell you they're nothing alike; but maybe that cynical side of me is really trying to scare me...

I highly doubt it. You can't make a scorpion out of a dinosaur, not even with the most extensive retooling. And Scorponok wouldn't be Scorponok without a scorpion mode.

I don't know, I could see it. On one hand, Scorponoc's robot mode would have the same limb placements as Tryp's, the only differences a being Scorp has longer arms and no tail in robot mode. And how involved was/is the transformation of the original Scorponoc? Doesn't he kinda just do the whole "hey look I'm a scorpion!" And then when you transform him he's just. Scorpion on two legs?

Check out the images mirrored below, including the Titan Master Teslor - note: the Walgreens one is the more saturated one on the right.

Its a fun toy, I prefer the main colour of the Wallgreens version, neither it nor the SDCC version are as good as the Voyager thought.

The Wallgreens has nice blue eyes and a vibrant orange face plate with better tampos.

But you need brainstorm to complete the original 6

Did you count Fortress Maximus as two?

I don't really count Arcee as she's fiction-only and a toy of her was never made in G1. As for a possible TR release, expect a redeco of Chromedome like the original G1 proposal:



I really don't see them retooling Gen. Arcee.

I had the Voyager but there were so many things I didn't like about the design and overall shape of parts (the pointy feet bugged me for example) and they're all much better on the more G1-ish Deluxe here.
