    Energon Scorponok was a damn fine update of the original I love that toy. That Galvatron and Rodimus are the only 3 toys from Energon that I liked.

    Hell if Hasbro re-released Energon Scorponok with a more G1 purple and grey colour scheme I wouldn't mind one bit.

    Still if this is as pants-shittingly awesome looking as Warden it's worth a look.

    It's a non transforming statute licensed by Takara made by some Japanese company. I think TFS has it for preorder

    i think its cancelled, to many preliminary complaints about the price and the fact that it cant transform. maybe they postponed it so they can make it transform. i hope

    Looks like you're new to the boards. I think you need to read up first before assuming stuff. Thanks.

    yea i am new. but what does that has to do with me assuming anything? i asked a question, someone gave me a reference and i looked it up. didn't find the pre order, but found a lot of critical comments and opinions about it. so if im giving my opinion on something i DID research on then how am i making assumptions. maybe you dont know what an opinion is Ole G.

    He's saying don't through stuff like "cancellations" out unless u have a source, and don't assume stuff without research.

    They aren't gonna postpone it to "make it transform" as thats an entirely new engineering endeavor from a bigass statute

    If u can't find a preorder, just say u can't find a preorder

    To his defense I did hear that it was delayed or cancelled..

    bbts dropped their pre order and TFS order isn't up anymore as of yesterday....seems the wheels of cancellation are in motion.

    Btw who still has this up for PO I am still interested..

    Welcome to the place where you can get jumped on for stating your opinion.
    I bet you thought you were making a harmless statement;) 

    On subject. Just read Monstrosity (I'm behind on IDW). Wouldn't mind the Scorp from that stoy line.

    LOL... someone's touchy...

    And where did I post that I had issues with your "opinion"? All I said was that before you come to your conclusion and being a newbie here, you might want to base that off of a good source.

    Like this?

    He may have been casting about as far the transforming bit, but yeah. Definitely looks like something's up. Delayed at the very least.

    Energon Scorpanok was my first Big Bad Decepticon, so for me to not get this would be to ignore my own past.
