I personally prefer this design over Studio Series Scorponok (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php/29887-Toy-Review-SCORPONOK-(Studio-Series)) as he looks more like a Transformer rather than a morphing monster. But Studio Series Scorponok is far better designed & engineered toy. I do like how this Scorponok has separate robot and beast heads, but the robot hands are the same as the beast claws; whereas SS Scorponok has separate beast and robot hands but the same head in both modes. Given that this Scorponok is only 5¢ cheaper than SS Scorponok, I would have to say that this toy is not worth its asking price. I might've given it a better rating had it been $10 cheaper.
