    Based on the mention of a "Hive" and looking to have pale green skin, it's going by the cartoon universe, not the comic. Otherwise, it would indeed seem like a retcon, creating a son where there only sounded like a daughter existed.

    Reading through some of the comments on other fansites, it had me wondering... with all the times they had on their feedback forms, asking if we'd like to see Gen1 moulds as BotCon exclusives, why are we still yet to have one? Could this being the anniversary year, be the year for some Gen1 moulds... or would they just look too out of place for the "combined look" of the convention set (box and at-show toys displayed together... which seems to be a priority of theirs).
    I'm not suggesting the Gen1 Scorponok toy, as it is just too big, but just in general.
    After the last 10 years of dozens of reissues between America and Japan, why have we had not one at BotCon, even as a custom class figure, which I think would be a lot of nostalgic fun building one from scratch.

    Oh yeah I know (I saw that Hive reference) but there's no reason green skinned cartoon Zarak couldn't have had a daughter named Llyra too.

    Well Griffin, you got your wish. Skorponok will indeed be a headmaster using the Energon mold and retooled Spike headmaster.

    And all I can say is, can someone grab me a loose set this year whoever is going? I'll pay for it up front of course. I want that Skorponok.

    For what it is, I'm not surprised. Personally I love the looks of him.

    Scorponok looks amazing! I've immediately gone from not caring about this set to looking for early pre-orders
