Eh, that's crap and I know it.
Still though, It's gonna be interesting to see that new prime. I'm loving the Thunderclash styles on the Power Surge Primes

Quillfire did, but there wasn't a twist with him either, unless one counts his having gotten his own Mini-Con duo, Back and Forth, but that's not really a twist since practically every Decepticon-of-the-day in Season 2 had their own Mini-Cons.
Maybe he was referring to season 3?

Maybe, but he definitely said "season 2".william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Hasbro's promoting Scatterspike at the BotCon 2016 panel was an odd one.

Isn't season two effectively split into two parts? The first half concluded with Decpticon Island 2-parter, and the second half will debut in the fall. At least that's what I remember reading.

Yeah we got a half season for season 2. Now if that will mean that the next half season will be called Seasons 3 instead of Season 2 part 2 is probable, but it could be that its in that second half that we will see Scatterspike and John Warden wasnt caught up on the nomenclature of the seasons. With the hype he gave it, thats what I believe is the case.

Well, at least he got some paint.

I still remain impressed that Hasbro painted the rims on that mold.

He is actually one figure that looks great with out a ton of paint (probably why the DID paint the rims). But, the plastic colors and the way they're disbursed around the different parts of the figure work really well. I actually am a big fan of that.
I kinds like the colors on this guy better than Quillfire. They're nice and Decepticony.

They are, but I will forever notice that he has the wrong head

Of course I'm serious, his head clearly doesn't look like the package art. This led me to wonder if the likes of characters I liked - like Simacore and Polarclaw - might not get any retooling if Scatterspike didn't. Or am I misunderstanding you?
Posted by Sabrblade on May 19th, 2016 @ 11:13pm CDT
I didn't notice the packaging until now, so the new head design seen in it escaped me. I'd/We'd already seen the toy itself long before we ever saw any packaging for it, so we knew it'd be a straight redeco from the onset. Whoever made that packaging design must've chosen to get creative with the design or didn't get the memo of the toy being a mere redeco. Either way, the guy didn't appear in the show, so it's kinda moot anyway.Hellscream9999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Hellscream9999 wrote:So is anyone else perturbed by the fact that Scatterspike clearly does not sport the appropriate head?

Really? huh, haven't watched much of season 2, and I didn't remember much of season 1 to know whether he looked like that in the show. Yeah, hope that clears all that up, and I hope the retools seen in the show get their deserved retoolings in real life

Posted by Sabrblade on May 19th, 2016 @ 11:20pm CDT
Quillfire was in the show but not Scatterspike. Season 2's over now, so you're free to catch up (best case being via KissCartoon) before season 3 hits in the Fall.Hellscream9999 wrote:Really? huh, haven't watched much of season 2, and I didn't remember much of season 1 to know whether he looked like that in the show.

I thought it was being split into two halves of a season? I've got sites for catching up, I was just tired of the incessant whining from primes team and the dumb human characters, I'll probably catch up at some point, but it left a poor impression on me, so I'm in no hurry.
