    Better intigration of the leftover shield piece, a nod to G1 instead of a useless ramp roadblock.

    yeah but it's at a sacrifice though. it's sitting on top of the much needed trap door flap that completes the g1 look of the tower right?

    Edit: Tried it out. Bummer. :(

    It's pretty close the G1 in this configuration, it's an option anyway. The leftover pieces should've been better thoughtout from the start I'd much rather the left over parts were designed to raise the towers height.
    The roadblock thing is stupid.

    I 100% agree. If only the DNA shield was a tad taller so the door tower filler could fit on there better.

    Very nice sets, DK-19 + DK-21, only changed big gun for my own but I think they both really improve Scorponok in all modes.

    If anyone doesn’t want their leftover pair of unarticulated gray blasters, I’d love to take them off your hands.

    That's some brilliant fan-moding you've done there (both modes); very effective :cool: 

    And I can't believe I haven't tried it yet, but I DEFINITELY have to have a go at standing him up like that in scorpion mode!

    I've got my two upgrade sets sitting in my pile of loot at BBTS, just waiting on the restock of ol' Scorpy so I can actually have a figure to attach them to :p . BBTS said it was gonna charge soon in an email last week, so I'm hoping he shows up today so I can ship it all this weekend.

    Ebay:
    Anyone want to suggest a good screwdriver to use to remove the Hasbro legs? I got the lower left one out, but the upper left one was tightened too much at the factory, maybe a little stripped. I can't get the screwdriver to grab it. The other two screwdrivers I wanted to try are too short and can't reach the screw or too thick so I can't get them into the holes.

    That face shield will definitely protect Scorponok from the virus going around these days, lmao!

    Welp, I'm a little sad. I've got my upgrade kits sitting in my pile of loot, but I couldn't figure out why BBTS hadn't charged me for my Scorponok reissue, especially since they notified me two weeks ago that they would be charging soon for him. Today I went back and checked that email, and realized they were notifying me that they were charging soon for Kingdom BW Scorponok, not Titan Scorponok. So guess I'll have to wait a little longer to have this beauty in my collection.

    I'm basically done with installation and just want to be clear on something: the 4 included screws are to replace the factory ones for the new scorpion arms? Is there any reason to use one set vs the other? Thanks in advance

    There may be, but I just put the factory ones back in mine, and have had no issues
