I remember there originally was a Scorponok combiner planned to appear in the final battle of ROTB, I think even some renders or at least concept arts exist.
I know it’s a long-shot, but I really hope they do a solo Beast Wars movie. We need more screen-time of the Maximals’ robot modes, and we need more live-action Predacons!
Youre really right about the stock photos not doing this guy justice. The whip looked so dumb there, but it looks fantastic in hand. For a character that never transformed in the film, the posing is fire. I'm definitely grabbing a couple when i find them
i love this guy, he’s such a freakshow in all the right ways. i grew up with the 07 deluxe as one of my favourite transformers, and this is a worthy successor i think.
Personally, the robot mode for Scorponok reminds me of Scorponok from RID 2015 with the way that his beast mode claws end up on his shoulders in robot mode and that he keeps his scorpion tail in both modes.
the bit where his robot mode hands slide into his shoulders to form the scorpion claws is genuinely one of the most satisfying bits of transformation ive had hands on experience with. like shit it's just so smooth
I honestly adore this design for Scorponok, even if he's just a mass-produced soldier. If they had made him an actual character in ROTB, with this design, it would have been awesome.
seeing the predacon insignia on his back just made me really happy for some reason, probably because there weren't any predacons in the movie, was really hoping to see live action waspinator
This is awesome the only reason people don't like it is because they don't like scorponok 😅 also do y'all think this would be perfect if it became a voyager cause I feel like this would be really fun in voyager scale
I recently found your channel and im really enjoying your reviews on modern and old Transformer figures . I am really enjoying your "Unicron Trilogy " toy reviews in particular.
Is 2023-2024 just turning into a golden age for concise and surprising engineering? Even with figures that I dislike for various reasons, I have found bits of the transformation that are just delightful and surprising.
2007 deluxe is still a lot of fun, with a neat and functional scorpion mode. Update looks a lot more organic than mechanical, and a lot scarier. Props for a decent/articulate bot even though it uses the same head in both configurations. The muted colors feel very close to the upcoming concept art Shockwave which isn't bad could just be bit more vibrant. Still looks like a worthwhile, and fun SS pickup.
Huh? This is based on ROTB Scorponok, and also what concept art Shockwave? The only upcoming Shockwave is based on his actual appearance in the Bumblebee Movie..
I was so ready to ignore this figure but that transformation and more clear look at the details has me sold! I can see him and concept megatron making my top 10 of 2024 already!
when I originally saw this figure on amazon and I saw the promo pic and I thought it looked horrible now having it in hand its one of my most favorite ss figures ever
Kinda sucks that this scorponok isn't like the beast wars character and it's just a mindless henchman for unicron. But then again, we had him in the 2007 movie that was kinda a minicon like robot from blackout and not like the giant decepticon from g1.🦂🚁😓😔
He wasn’t purple in the movie, and this figure also has gold on the chest, so the figure is more a mashup of the Beast Wars character with the mindless Unicron army. You could therefore head-canon it as a Knight-verse Beast Wars Scorponok.
Wasn't too interested in this figure buy I am a lot more interested now! That articulation and posing looks superb and I love the 07 movie references, but I adore that paint scheme. The navy blue and the lavender looks so good together, and is actually a color unlike the Maximals. It would be so cool if those SS maximal golds got repainted, with some red, white, and blue on Primal, gold and white on a grey Airazor, baby blue or purple a yellow Cheetor, and green on a brown Rhinox.
Can’t wait to get mine, hope they repaint this a couple of times so I can build a small army of scorponoks, can’t believe that’s something I want to do with scorponok lol
The more i see of him the more bummed i am about the fact that he doesn't come out in my countey untill the 16th of february so i have to wait for my preorder till the 24th. This guy is genuinelly amazing
This figure really pleasantly surprised me, for what is ostensbly a troop filler he has alot of personality packed into him, and his transformation is really creative. I personally like to fanmode his legs to give him chicken legs that make him taller and look even more dynamic in poses but either way he rocks. Only thing I'd ask for is more posability in the tail
I was waiting for someone to review him, as I've A.) Seen no one talk him and B.) Was very skeptical when he was revealed. I think I'll be adding him to my wishlist now. 😄
This does look like a lot of fun, and I intend to get it, but I'm also kinda gutted that I was never able to find the Buzzworthy one you have where I am, because that would have made an awesome conversion into Pincher...
His shoulders remind me of a mount in WoW. It's a flying wolf mount and it has shoulder armor on its wings. On the shoulder pads are curved spikes. Every time the wings flap, the spikes stab the poor creature in the back
A hidden gym for sure, and after seeing this review im definitely glad I pre-ordered this guy. And definitely I'd say one of the better figures from Rotb.
Seeing him properly transformed, he is cool but personally I do still wish they took his Concept art combo design into account, I want my Duocon Centaur lol. Still now I may get him but will more likely go for the inevitable Double Punch and Sandstorm for the warmer colors being a possibility
I was definitely one of those "easy pass" people at first, but the more I've seen the more I'm interested in this figure. I may repaint him to be a little more accurate to the movie, or I may leave him as-is. Still I'm excited to own him for sure! I still like the 07 scorpion mode better, but obviously this one wins in robot mode.
im looking forward to this wave megatron is the ultimate robot mode display pablo looks like a combination of 2 solid figures scorponok looks menacing rumble is there for soundwave starscream is the second good gamer edition figure mohawk is alright but shoulda been ROTB arcee before mohawk
I’m actually happy they went with the concept art purple because it makes him look more like his beast wars design
This is definitely replacing my Kingdom Scorponok. But I'll be using the kingdom one for the scorpion mode only. 😂
does kinda ruin the mass hoard vibe from the movie but we all know this is gonna get like 50 reapints
@@Shadowstriker2018hopefully the red one. Each one is actually considered a different character because the three colour variations all have names
He actually kinda looks like a movie verse scorponok with those colors ( beast wars)
It does have a predacon faction symbol
This guy will either shelf warm or he'll be bought in bulk to build armies.
He's gonna be bought in bulk THEN shelf warm
Ima do both
Por que no los dos?
which is why I bought 2 to begin with
He has not been shelf warming at all
Not a lot of people like this figure but I think it’s pretty fun
Are you Gustavo Tosi?
Good on ya champion
@@Tarn_It21who?
i quite like the look of this, is the loose torso peg above the waist swivel an issue on every figure?
@@nameloss mine wasn’t as loose as toyguys but it was still a little loose, I think it’s on most copy’s tho because my friend also have it
I love how his robot head is also his beast head, that is genius, as it saves having to integrate a second head into the robot mode
Similar to Covert Agent Ravage from Kingdom
@@LiamDyC
Yup
Classic Beast Wars trick too.
@@adambackground
Yup, and it works
I remember there originally was a Scorponok combiner planned to appear in the final battle of ROTB, I think even some renders or at least concept arts exist.
Concept art yes
There was also a concept art for Rampage
This thing has no right being this clever. I want it even more now
This figure looks way better than I thought, Will definitely be picking one up!
I know it’s a long-shot, but I really hope they do a solo Beast Wars movie. We need more screen-time of the Maximals’ robot modes, and we need more live-action Predacons!
Sting...like a...scorpion
Hasbro needs to hire someone to put their figures in poses and take photos because these stock photos aren’t it
DAMN! You have convinced me, good sir
Youre really right about the stock photos not doing this guy justice. The whip looked so dumb there, but it looks fantastic in hand. For a character that never transformed in the film, the posing is fire. I'm definitely grabbing a couple when i find them
I’m really looking forward to picking him and Pablo up.
Excellent review!
Pablo? Ohhhhh you mean WHEELJACK
I really enjoyed the intro it went more bomb that Oppenheimer with that track

they were cut because they didn't make sense for the story
@@Shadowstriker2018No, they were dropped because there was too many robots in the film already they said
This is awesome the only reason people don't like it is because they don't like scorponok 😅 also do y'all think this would be perfect if it became a voyager cause I feel like this would be really fun in voyager scale
Man those double jointed shoulders and that wrist articulation look incredibly good. :o

@@DrShark420 they are comparing it to the 07 toy, which ToyGuy also did in the video.
@@DestroyerApollyonhe said shockwave though
@@novustalks7525 they did both. they compared the toy itself with 07 Skorponok, and the color scheme with BBM Shockwave.

So many people were quick to hate on this thing. But i just knew it would be good
I bought one for 20 bucks at a Walmart. I LOVE PURPLE TRANSFORMERS!
I wouldn’t mind a 3 pack with some of the other concept art colors
Kinda sucks that this scorponok isn't like the beast wars character and it's just a mindless henchman for unicron. But then again, we had him in the 2007 movie that was kinda a minicon like robot from blackout and not like the giant decepticon from g1.🦂🚁😓😔

Can’t wait to get mine, hope they repaint this a couple of times so I can build a small army of scorponoks, can’t believe that’s something I want to do with scorponok lol
There's 3 different colours in the film and they all have names on their concept art so hopefully!!
I love the fact it’s an INSANE remold of RID2015 Scorponok
Dang, I did not expect that to look so good
I love the G1 Insecticon colours, which is why I've bought him.
The more i see of him the more bummed i am about the fact that he doesn't come out in my countey untill the 16th of february so i have to wait for my preorder till the 24th. This guy is genuinelly amazing
genuinely same my county doesn't dispatch him till yet and i am falling in love with him, def gonna put some money aside for him though
Wow. Didn’t see that coming. Unexpected banger. Might have to grab one.
“He’s built to trip and tea- wait wrong franchise” as a doom fan myself that had me dying
My favorite version to date. I want two so I can display both modes.
"Scorponok Beast mode!"
Out of the box and the purple feet came off. Ball joints. Arrrrrrrrrrgh.
Optimus prime is the one who rips and tears
I ordered two to go with my two mainline ones. Scourge's army.

Oh god... I NEED one.
Excellent replacement in my decepticon army for my ss one that came with blackout
Oh my copy, his legs are VERY tight, and his purple feet pieces just fall off
*"GET OVER HERE!"*
"Scorponok Terrorizes!!!"
This does look like a lot of fun, and I intend to get it, but I'm also kinda gutted that I was never able to find the Buzzworthy one you have where I am, because that would have made an awesome conversion into Pincher...
I got this guy yesterday and yeah, he’s really fun
That arm transformation is cool
His shoulders remind me of a mount in WoW. It's a flying wolf mount and it has shoulder armor on its wings. On the shoulder pads are curved spikes. Every time the wings flap, the spikes stab the poor creature in the back
WoW = "World of Warcraft"?
@@ZachDy-xg9it Yep!
I’m thinking this figure could be remolded into a perfectly great Beast Wars Fuzors Quickstrike
this goober and Pablo both dont release for me until March
pain
A hidden gym for sure, and after seeing this review im definitely glad I pre-ordered this guy. And definitely I'd say one of the better figures from Rotb.
This figure doesn't have the right to be as good as he is. Yet here I am, loving his weird design and genius engineering!
the face of mine fell off out of the box
I’m so excited for this guy I’m buying him in a couple days
Love these intros 🤩🤩
Well, I had no plan to pick this up, but now...
When he was first shown i didint know for shit how his hands transform, i was like "where does the claws end UP in his sholder??"
this actually convinced me to cop it
Seeing him properly transformed, he is cool but personally I do still wish they took his Concept art combo design into account, I want my Duocon Centaur lol. Still now I may get him but will more likely go for the inevitable Double Punch and Sandstorm for the warmer colors being a possibility
ngl he looks very good
I don't understand why people argue over what's Blue and what's Purple as if '''Violet''' isn't a word!!!
its very subtle but he´s has the colour of an insecticon
💀 when you said rip
and tear
I actually like thus guy
This figure made me burst when I transformed it for the first time. (Then my friend kicked me out of his house that day)
how is this better than 20% of the toys of the cast
If studio series rotb Scorponok was a voyager class
They should have done the combing thing
I'm lucky to pre order two of him
I was definitely one of those "easy pass" people at first, but the more I've seen the more I'm interested in this figure. I may repaint him to be a little more accurate to the movie, or I may leave him as-is. Still I'm excited to own him for sure! I still like the 07 scorpion mode better, but obviously this one wins in robot mode.
Now he looks great 👍my dream is a reissue of 2002 armada starscream
scorpionok
So is this entire wave out now? I see so many people with all the figures, and my preorder from hasbro is still like a month out
The LAST thing this movie needed was hip-hop / rap
I didn't expect this figure to be so interesting...
My only complaint is i wish he had a different head for robot and scorpion mode
Love the toy reviews. But how on earth do you see blue rather than purple?
hmm might pick this one up if i see it in stores
I am waiting for this figure like crazy. It looks fun@
im looking forward to this wave
megatron is the ultimate robot mode display
pablo looks like a combination of 2 solid figures
scorponok looks menacing
rumble is there for soundwave
starscream is the second good gamer edition figure
mohawk is alright but shoulda been ROTB arcee before mohawk
Isn't this still a pre-order?
will you review legacy united thundertron?
Canadian scorpion
I think the back legs look a tad unsightly
When is review for old Tasmania kid
How was your sneeze?
No way jose how did you get it so early?
Who can i contact about being unbanned in your server? it happened on accident
is That Toy Guy being colorblind lore that I'm simply unaware of? I'm genuinely curious because that's certainly purple & not blue
I hope they make do a redeco and make it green
I’m 50 seconds after it posted lol
my nitpik was the overabundance of purple (Studio series.... coulda sworn accuracy was a thing but not anymore it seems)
probably because of the concept art
