    It's really interesting if you take a moment to think about it. Samuel "Spike" Witwicky had been a part of this war since he was 16, and it presumably cost him his dad. You watch this scene, and it screams at you "This human will not put up with your crap anymore". Seriously, Spike had a city retrofit to be a Titan.....he pretty much declared his own war on the Decepticons.

    The fact that I never knew his name was Samuel actually bothers me and I will never call him anything other than spike. He’s way more badass than Shia.

    More Scorponok stuff:

    Pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew. Lens flare is from the overhead lamp.

    On a side note, the stock visor (mine is a custom) and orange antenna pieces are painted over beige plastic. Whereas it may not to be too bad on the antenna, it'll be an eyesore on the visor if that gets scuffed.

    If you follow the instructions instead of the box renders for Zarak bot mode, these tabs have a high chance of getting paint scuffed. Mine is already missing some teeny spots.

    I think my Scorponok may be missing a piece. I can't find anything that matches this panel in the instructions. Can someone confirm? 20200809_221304.jpg 20200809_221410.jpg

    You're missing the panel. I'll take a pic in a minute.

    Damn it! Now I need to return this whole thing to Target? The one I bought it from was out of stock today. :(  I don't suppose I could just contact Hasbro for a replacement part...

    in any case, thanks for checking.

    I've had really bad luck with QC on the large figures lately. Jetfire's mask won't stay on, the minicon that came with Omega had two left arms, and now this.... :(

    A very big box. My thought is it’s heavier compared to the previous Titan class figures. Hoping to unbox it real soon!
