Highly tempted to get a Skorponok. Highly. Tempted.

Not just for the price, but because it's easily the best of the Titans!

Wait is it? He's the only other Titan I've even considered (Trypticon is my only Titan) and he looks pretty great.

Well it's my opinion only, of course. But he's solid, no hollow spaces like Metroplex and Fort Max, my experience with Devastator was only somewhat satisfying, I definitely rank Scorpy higher than him, and even though I think Tryppy is also solid and worth the value, his awkward build makes him a little less desirable to me. Again, just my opinion. The only other Titan that comes close to Scorponok is Omega Supreme, but I place Scorponok above him because he's not a partsformer and because he's a headmaster, and we finally got proper MegaZarak and Zarak figures. My only 2 gripes with Scorponok are that his face should have been the same cream color that Megazarak's chest is, and he should have come with 2 pairs of cannons for his legs as well.

This is a weird question, but how small can you compact him? I'm moving around constantly and Trypticon is already pretty tough to find a space for while doing so.

Well the easier way to get him into the smallest space is by putting him in Scorpion mode and just folding his claws up over his back and folding his tail down. That might get him to fit into an 18 by 18 by 18 inch cube. Definitely easier than Trypticon, whose tail is just mostly in the way.

I did it.

Found probably my first example of a shortpacked figure, Earthrise Arcee and i bought her. She is so impressive for a deluxe figure

But i'm disappointed that she doesn't gave two guns and that her pistol isn't black or pure white. (Not this transparent grey) I'd hate losing that thing because of the obscure color. Personally i'm fine with her body design as it is without buying modding.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:ER Arcee certainly looks to be a good action figure, but a lot of people are not so impressed with her being even more of an extreme shellformer than Break, Big Convoy, and Thunderblast. T30/Legends Arcee managed at least some integration and a more compact backpack, and isn't that far behind in terms of articulation. She also has a better-looking car mode IMO, due to the more defined inward curve at the middle.

It's just one removable shell. Big Convoy needed his gun to complete his shell. Break can't remove anything and Thunderblast has a enormous backpack. Thrilling 30 is good but those black areas on her are terrible in vehicle mode. Earthrise Arcee is also more curvier overall.

This here Canadian consider that ordering anything from Hasbro Pulse is not worth it.
...That is, unless it's for ER Titan Scorponok. As expected, IT'S THE SAME SHIPPING PRICE FOR A TITAN AS FOR A FRIGGIN' DELUXE! So even when adding shipping, taxes, and exchange rates, ordering from Pulse amount to around 5$CAN cheaper than buying full price from Toys R Us. And that's if Toys R Us would bother to have anything for sale to begin with.

So yeah, Scorpy preordered. No way I'm going to miss out this time.

For a Canadian, shipping from TF Source is DOUBLE the Pulse price. So for once, the better deal is on Pulse.

So I guess you have the Japanese-continuity version.

I don't think window stickers would improve Trailbreaker, unless you're talking about for the camper shell. Tinting the windshield would be better than stickering it.
I personally think he doesn't look all that plain, with how the gray and red break up the black, although G1-based decals on the inside of the truck panels wouldn't go amiss.


Here's one way to get a gun for Scorponok
