    If you fold the tail up in beast mode you kind of have a lobster, don't you? That'd be a hell of a retool...

    Mine is pre-order already at pulse so all I can do is wait. I don't want to but I have no other way so come on September to get released.

    I love how one of his accessories is a shield with a tiny claw, when his hands are GIANT claws.

    I guess for delicate jobs, like threading a needle, or folding some bedsheets etc

    Opened today mine, it's probably the first time in 30 years that regarding Transformers I'm glad to live in Europe.
    I have two negatives. First, the base mode is a bit plain and begs to be expanded with weaponizers and modulators. I found a few ports where I might be able to put additional weaponry and I'll make some experiments in the next days.
    Second, the shoulder rotation ratchets are weak, especially the right arm. He is able to hold a pose, but shaking him a bit causes the arm to drop, and that makes me worried if he'll be able to wield Fasttrack in spear mode.
    The other points of articulation are great, especially the double jointed knees. The ankles show no sign of having difficulties bearing his weight. Bot mode looks great and is very posable (although I would have liked more an Headmaster inspired head). Transformation for both the main body and the headmaster is fun and intuitive. Scorpion mode is fantastic and the size makes him incredibly menacing.
    Other than the shoulders, a great release.

    Edit: made some experiments, he is able to hold a deluxe especially in the left arm, so the tyrant spear should be safe. A leader is too much, though.

    I’m at a loss as to where I will put him. He will take up a LOT of detolf real estate. He is a ‘grail’ figure to me, and I don’t want to cancel a pre-order... but dang he’s huge

    He looks great with the other city-bots too.

    Quick questions. Is there any way to store the shield on the tail in beast mode? That weeny stinger always needled me (hurr hurr).

    And, much more onerous, but i would be very grateful if any one has the spare sanity to snap a pic of ER scorponok next to g1. I'm a perv like that.

    Yes, there's a 5mm port on the top of the tail tip so you can plug other stuff on top.

    Another season, another sacrifice to the pit. This pleases Lord Summerisle, er, Zarak.
