    Anyone know if any good 3rd Party Rifles or tools to go with the Base Mode exist yet? Other than that, this is a worthy update to the G1 Version (I never owned that one, but I always thought that the Original was too small compared to Fort Max)......I know this Skorponok is still slightly smaller, but the height difference is a lot slimmer now

    I go to mine from a local Toy/ Comic/ Board Game/ Video Game/ Collectible Shop.......spent less than some Amazon/ eBay prices......

    Now that I have Skorponok, I don’t need Black Zarack (though I may try to get the old Energon one for cheap for a Skorponok Army)

    it looks like the reissue is arriving in stores. One of the two Transformer shops here in the Netherlands received some and is expecting more later this week, and the other one had some a few weeks back already.

    Yeah, the DNA sets are pretty good:

    The upgrade kits feedback thread has a good look at them here:

    DNA Design DK-19 Kit

    and

    DNA Design DK-21 Kit

    (I stopped after DK-19 myself :)  )

    Still listed as preorder but they did just get a shipment of them in, so I can't say for certain if that's just preorders or also stock as well

    I got my Reissue last week or so ago, and he blows previous Skorponok iterations out of the water (of course, Energon was presented as a Scorpion themed Construction Vehicle, BW was a Predacon soldier, RID was more a Desert Scorpion/ Desert Zarack, Botcons was just a Retool of Energon with a Headmaster Retool) in terms of being a straight up update to the G1.......

    Now, if asked if I Plan on getting Black Zarack, the answer is no.......a) for a Selects Figure he probably costs more than he should and
    b) Skorponok is big enough......I have Trypticon, Omega and Fort Max.......that and I may one day get The Ark

    Thank goodness for reissues just got this big guy today have been messing around with it for a while now. Since I don't have Trypticon he gets both weaponizers. IMG_20210831_173844_kindlephoto-17215963.jpg
    Since he doesn't come with a gun Brunt volunteered. Bit crude but works.
    IMG_20210831_174339_kindlephoto-17397486.jpg

    Both became great add-on weaponry. Rendering him a quad clawed beast. Good for getting those small bots.

    For city mode they worked for making a tower, defensive abilities and repair claws IMG_20210831_193732.jpg
    Now behold New Deception City!

    um....he only comes with a shield. not all that great.

    The DNA kits though, They give him a huge shield, huge gun. and Fast track's spear mode is laughable at best and looks nothing like his Actual Spear that [Black] Zarak wields.

    The stock shield is fine. I actually think the DNA one is too big, or at the very least a bit too clunky.
    The DNA rifle and added articulated cannons are superb, though.
    The add-ons are great for more G1 accuracy, but are not at all needed as the stock figure is pretty darn awesome, if not the best Titan to date.

    They should cover everything. There's even a clear face shield, which looks pretty decent.
    Personally, I like the articulated cannons since they allow them to be displayed splayed out.

    I still haven't installed my DNA kits yet, but I just saw my preferred TF-retailer has the 3rd kit in stock. The one with the leg-extensions. This would make him as tall as Fort Max, but I'm on the fence about getting this it. He's big enough already and to me they don't all have to be exactly the same height.

    Why is Trypticon loaning Full-Tilt to Scorponok? And what happened to Fasttrack?

    In all seriousness the initial 2 DNA kits are great accents to an already good titan. It's the legs that I've never understood the fascination over; they just make his overall proportions even weirder when you install them to push him up to Fort. Max height...
