    No need to be snarky. I’m curious and whether I can afford it or not wasn’t my question.

    Just got Scoria. Not thrilled with him nor Cesium.

    Going to sell my Cesium though (because I can't get Repros for Cesium, but I can for Scoria).

    For someone who has both, it would really be cool to see some side by side photos, and a pros/cons critique of both as they compare/contrast to each other.

    I have Scoria, and I stayed away from Cesium just really based on early reviews of it.

    He is fine, just a bit too tall.

    The materials feel slightly different and he lacks the flamethrower in the mouth. However, he is much more stable (esp[especially in the hips, and the arms if you didn't get the Scoria upgrade for shoulders)

    Scoria version 2 did not solve the problem of the hips and arms?

    I just bought a scoria diaclone to finish up my dinobots. If i wanted cartoon accurate scoria.. would have cost me $100 more. The diaclone version looks good and kinda balances the dinobots.. i will have scoria and soar with blue, sever and stomp red and grinder as is. If they ever reissue scoria again.. i may look to get it but for now, I think I am happy.

    I might pick up Cesium if they ever do a reissue. Not paying the inflated secondary market prices - half the draw of Cesium was that $130 price. Only reason I didn't pick him up back then was that I knew it'd make me want the rest of the dinos and I wasn't ready to go down that rabbit hole.

    Yeah, it'd be really nice to have a couple of side-by-side pictures... And maybe a couple of group shots that included both Scoria and Cesium along with the rest of the Dibots to see how they all fit together. I imagine that a pretty big ask though as that would be a pretty spendy collection of MP Dinobots....

    Scoria comes in G2 and Diaclone colors.

    Cesium does not.

    Scoria wins, no contest    . :p

    Scoria is still my favorite looking bot, love looking at him every time i open my shelf. If there was a hip tightening fix, then it would be my favorite toy i own too.
