    This would display in my Optimus/Megs shelf so rarely if ever see Alt mode. Bot mode is a priority. Also, the shelf is pretty tightly packed so no room for guns or swords so those extra's are kind of irrelevant. Though both are talking about display bases and exara weapons etc so I imagine bot will have plenty of added bits.
    It will come down to which looks better in bot mode - and that judgement really can't be made till we get more pics of each, and maybe even a comparison review from Ben or someone similar. Thats a pretty low res photo, from one angle. He uses a stand - is that required or just there because its a loose test shot? Does he have a massive backpack? Who accurate is the alt mode? Will the finish be glossy and clean or weathered? What's the cost? When's the release? Much too early for me to be making judgement calls on either at the moment.

    Seeing the comparison pics with the cgi model, his chest looks a tad bigger than it should be making it more swole than it should be... This kinda irks me now.

    @jinny86 I think you meant to post that over in this thread. Not in the actual ToyWorld thread, since there's a 100% chance the ToyWorld one is, in fact, ToyWorld.

    Either way, there's enough differences in the design and recent updates from ToyWorld to suggest that's not the case.

    Dw man, I don't think anyone's really bothered by it.

    On your theory though, Toyworld and Fire Scorp Are definitely different companies I believe.

    I doubt a company capable of such a good bot mode like Toyworld would go make one, with a worse Bot mode, under a different name. Just seems to make no sense

    Oh you know it, I'm working on a theory that G1 and the Bayverse can coexist, I'm not crazy I swear

    Fire scorpion's vehicle mode. I think this looks better than toy worlds. just based on vehicle mode I think i'd buy this one

    I mean, yeah the vehicle mode looks neat but it's also pretty flawed too and Toyworlds Bot mode looks way better. The TW vehicle is the lesser of two Evils imo

    I don't see how the robot mode looks way better to me they look about the same and any differences are minor compared to tw's awful truck mode

    Disagree. The proportions on the Fire Scorpion one look off, making it look pretty bad.

    The shape of the body on fire scorpion looks so off. TWs is more aesthetic.
