Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, LeAwesome1, recieved a special package today from InDemandToys. It was none other the Transformers: Earthrise Titan Class Scorponok! LeAwesome1 has graciously agreed to share a whole host of photos of this latest, most wanted, titan. Check the users thoughts and their grand glorious gallery below!

LeAwesome1 wrote:Okay, so my thoughts on ER Scorponok:

To sum it up, this is one of my favourite figures I own at the moment. He is hands down my favourite titan figure, which is tough to say considering I absolutely adore Omega Supreme. I just love the aesthetic of this figure, and its actually fun to transform and display (unlike Fort Max/Trypticon). He is incredibly articulated, including a neck joint to allow him to look down one click which I think is such a good feature. Makes him feel very imposing looking down on his enemies. He is also incredible hefty, it feels worth the price tag, and really doesn't feel hollow. Only minor hollow part is in his legs but thats just for where his feet go in the other modes. All space is used up by every mode, and its incredible.

For the alt modes, I definitely prefer scorpion mode, its just huge and imposing and I love how well it pulls it off. My only minor complaint is I feel it could have done with another joint in the arms more in the middle to make a more natural bend of the claw, but that is a VERY minor complaint, it still looks great as is. The base mode doesn't look like anything special, but I wasn't expecting it to be. It does the job well enough, and thats the most important part of it! I think its also good they included a spot to store the head in base mode, as well as an area for the titan master to ride the scorpion mode (even if you do have to untransform him a bit).

Zarak looks great, and feels great. Kind of sucky that you have to remove the orange ears to put them on the back, but honestly its another very minor complaint on an otherwise perfect figure. Even Zarak has ankle pivot! Miles better than Cerebros, even if he is smaller!

Overall I'm incredibly impressed with this figure, a good final pit stop before stopping my collecting days, go out with a bang as they say! Would recommend this to anyone who is even remotely interested!

Also, in response to a previous comment, the visor is detachable, however you need to remove a screw to do so. I thought I'd have to put the screw back in, but it actually holds in very well without, so leaving the screw loose gives you the option permanently!

Wow! Titan Scorponok looks GREAT!

:???:

It seems like he's an all-new mold with no mold/ parts-sharing. Is that right? There were those who said he was a heavy re-mold of Omega Supreme.

I only wish he included his big orange rifle, his elevator, the other two double-cannons, & whatever city-mode bits Hasbro always leaves out due to budgetary restraints. Oh well, 3rd Party add-ons to the rescue, again! :lol:

I hope this mold gets a Black Zarak repaint/ remold.

Entirely his own mould, I see nothing that has been shared what so ever! I own both, so I just had a gloss over, and I thought the legs may have been shared but they are not!

I saw that his head was cross compatible with Fort Max's too. Not something I expected, but was glad to see.

Where did you hear that? I've never heard he was going to be a remold. The only titan to ever be a retool was Fortress Maximus.

I noted that Megatron was firing on Scorponok back when we had the box reveal :-?

I wonder what the angle is with it. Afterall according to the Japanese G1 timeline, Megs and Optimus did ally together for a while (the truce broke down in the lead up to the Japanese G2 release), megs became a good guy in the IDW stories, Transformers Prime had him renouncing evil at its end. I can't remember what happened with megs in the prime wars trilogy though, other than he was snarky as hell but wasn't the bad guy. Are we about to see a twist in this tale?

Well there's plenty speculation that the next line will have a... Different sort of Megatron, of the purple dinosaur sort.

It could very well be that Skorponok poses a threat to the Autobots AND Decepticons. Megatron has no shortage of potential usurpers in his circle.

I think he's gorgeous but I just don't like Scorponok as a Titan-sized character. I ended up using my ebay earnings to finally buy PE Warden and Botcon Scorponok - they'll be repping the characters in my collection now.

Then he'll jump around and possess Optimus, Megatron, Arcee, Soundwave, Shockwave, Ultra Magnus, and more.

And with Starscream being Starscream, he won't wisen up to realize that he could have just stayed inside Megatron and taken over the Decepticons that way. :roll:

Scorponok looks great! Nice to finally have a Decepticon Titan that scales well with his Autobot counterpart. ASo...whay are some areas getting this now, and U.S. has to wait until September (the fans in Japan have to wait until November...). I know regional packaging may have something to do with it, but I believed most countries that have multilingual packaging should theoretically all get it about the same time...Oh well....*patience*

BBTS’s preorders have Scorponok pegged for a mid-July release. Then again, they also said that SS Overload was supposed to be last month and still no word on him so.....

Yesterday I was talking trash about Maryland stores not getting any Battlemasters. Hit up Target last night to try and score another Seeker Elite pack for a good buddy of mine, and walk right into a display of Smashdown and Soundbarrier. I was unsuccessful on the Seekers, but I picked up Soundbarrier.

I picked up the both seekers from the shelf in Brandywine the other day. No sign of battle masters in MD for me tho

Greetings Seibertronians! This news is for our fellow transformers fans down under! According to the Facebook page for Ozformers, Wave 2 of the Battlemasters class have been found in Australian retail. The wave consists of Slitherfang and a re-release of Siege Rung in Earthrise packaging.

The sighting was made at the Gepps Crossing Toyworld in South Australia. The photo was supplied to Ozformers by a member of their community.

If you want to see more of Slitherfang, check out this video review here.

While these are now making their way to the shelves in Australia, it remains to be seen when they'll reach other places given current global developments. Rest assured though that we here at Seibertron will try and bring you the latest sighting news as we get it.

Are you wanting to pick these up? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

For what it's worth somebody on Facebook did a tear down of Scorponok and apparently the internals are the same as Omega Supreme.

Nah, these are toys. Besides in another 30 years when scientists think they have still "more accurate" data for the appearance of Dinosaurs, people will complain then how inaccurate they appear now.

On another note. Remember way back in February when Target had a crazy BOGO free sale on mane Earthrise wave 2 and 3 voyagers and deluxe's? So where does anyone think wave 2 will appear first.

Well logically it appears they will show up in other places long before the U.S. But for U.S fans who wants to guess.... Target, Walmart, Amazon, Hasbro Pulse, or some other online retailer?

o.supreme, the only thing stopping them from sculpting feathers onto a toy is show-accuracy. That and the fact that they might want to go with Transmetal Megs. Regular Megs has been done before, even if it was a while ago, plus aside from the MP his toys don't have major breakage issues. Unlike TM Megs' infamous waist.

You know, WaywardInsecticon actually drew that.

DMSL wrote:Smokescreen looks cheap, those wheels...horrid, i think i will stick to my old CHUG Datsun brothers.

Aside from the visible snap pegs, these wheels look more like actual Datsun wheels They're not painted, but that's because other things have gobbled his paint allowance. The photos make the wheels look worse than they will in-hand, he's like 2-3 times his real size in the pics.

Consider also that ER Smokescreen will actually be properly distinct from Prowl and Bluestreak in altmode, unlike the Universe versions.

I think you and I interpret things differently, which is fine. I never stated feathers couldn't be done. I'm just stating my opinion that I don't think it's necessary.

Maybe I missed the debate but id Siege and Earthrise are attempting scale, which one is more official at this point. Side by side it’s quite dramatically different. Other than ER Screamer’s beautiful jet mode. I do feel siege is more fun....

The Siege versions of the Datsuns and the Countachs are much better than the old Classics and Universe figures imho. I don't begrudge anybody for not wanting to buy everything over again, and I'm glad everyone likes different things, but I can't imagine preferring the earlier ones. WfC is everything I ever wanted from Generations.

IMO it's a tradeoff with the Datsuns. The Universe versions have more paint, altmode weapon storage, Prowl has an actual transparent red lightbar instead of the SIEGE toy's cheater version, and all of them come with the shoulder cannons since they're integrated. But they all turn into a bland modern car mode, the only distinction with said car mode is lightbar/no lightbar, and they have Alternators-style legs instead of G1-accurate legs.

The paint deco is terrible, especially on Smokescreen, I could not care less about the lightbar, and the shoulder cannons are tiny and unlike their toy or cartoon counterparts.

I remember this was a big deal when Punch/Counterpunch came out, but I literally don't understand the appeal of weapons storage. I would much prefer weapons that can mount on the alt-mode, and I'm perfectly fine with baggies or bins to store weapons when they're not in bot mode. There's nothing wrong with people liking it, I literally can't imagine considering weapon storage as part of the overall value of a toy. I just can't understand it.

I'm G1 from youth, so obviously the toy and show accuracy is a big part of the appeal, but my favorite part of WfC, especially the '84/'85 group, if transforming. The Datsuns and Countachs have simple, intuitive, tactile, fun transformations that are head and shoulders above anything in the Classics era--except for the Seekers.

One of the reasons I'm not too upset double-dipping on Smokescreen is the engineering seems practically identical, so I know the new one will be fun. And at least with Prowl I'll be getting a new deco compared to Siege.

With Titan Fort Max, the re-use of Metroplex parts is pretty obvious. I am curious, could you detail what "internals" Scorponok shares with Omega? Is it only stuff like ratchets, springs, & screws, or is any molded plastic carried over? Just looking at photos, it is hard to tell. :???:

Oh, sorry about that. Guys on FaceBook speculated that since their sizes were similar that Scorponok would likely be a heavy re-tool of Omega Supreme, like Fort Max & Metroplex were. I passed on Fort Max, because he seemed too similar & cheated a bit much for my liking. I have a Carrobots Brave Max, complete with Master Sword & both large guns, so I am satisfied with that. I want both Omega & Scorpy, but I've been wondering about their molds, since I've read contradicting things about them.

Yeah, don't trust Facebook when it comes to things like that.

No, I should have made my post clearer

But, yeah I don't see how Scorp could be a remold given the extreme differences, like how Omega transforms for one thing.

It's possible he recycles some of the heavy ratchet joints from Omega, that that's what Chuckdawg meant by internals.

Speaking of heavy ratchet joints, I wonder what would be a good source for them... I have designs on kitbashing Fort Max's legs, and it's either heavy ratchets or swivels that bolt and unbolt.

So you can. Of course, Bee's appearance doesn't necessarily mean he'll look like that if/when he gets a toy. I mean, one of the coneheads on Sky Lynx's box looked like the G1 toy.

Is that Megatron?

Looks like. Of course, there are some things to consider.
1. Decepticon infighting
2. It's unclear what that is blowing up by Scorponok's arm
3. Maybe he was aiming for Optimus and his aim has improved even more than as of that boulder toss.

Greetings Seibertronians! Following a recent sighting of the Wave 2 Battlemasters in Australia, there has now been a US sighting of the Target exclusive Decepticon Clones two pack.

The sighting was made by smf2045, over at fellow Transformers fan site, TFW2005. The clones are a repackage of the Titan's Returns molds. The last time these were issued one half of the Decepticon Clones was exclusive to the Siege on Cybertron boxset, while the other was in a two pack with one of the Autobot clones. In Japan, Takara Tomy redeco'd the clones to a more cartoon accurate color scheme and released the clones in their proper pairs. This is the first time since G1 that the Decepticon Clones have been sold in a set together.

Happy hunting everyone!

Do you plan on getting these? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Well, Kapow and ID Toys have removed their listings for the Seeker two-pack pre-order (out of stock). Both still have the Clones though.

£26.97 - Kapow

£26.99 - ID Toys

Dosen't surprise me. Megatron/Galvatron has always been at odds with Scorponok in pretty much every continuity. Any uneasy alliance usually breaks down quickly for a showdown of Leadership. Makes me hope the 3rd WFC line is more futuristic (focus on more 87'-90' Characters, as well as Victory etc...), and we can give Optimus and Megatron a well deserved rest.

The only time that wasn't the case was in The Rebirth. Wherein it was unclear if Scorponok had an identity of his own.
