MakeToys - Pandinus (Concept Drawings)

[Hursticon]

His name is Pandinus.

Ah! - Hadn't seen that they'd put that up; Cheers mate, I'll ask a mod to change the thread title accordingly.

That's okay. Their English language website only launched yesterday.

Yeah I thought that must've been the case because I was linked to it yesterday via Twitter but when I went to go back to it later in the day it had been taken down - Regardless, they've got some amazing things planned for the future and I cant wait! to see Pandinus rendered in 3 Dimensional plastic!

With two third-party offerings out there, I'm glad I didn't put my money down for Botcon Scorponok yet. So far I'm leaning on PE Deathstalker because the robot mode silhouette looks like it resembles Scorponok's comic incarnation. Pandinus' bent knees and giant shoulders give him a less-intellectual look.

Different beasts. PE's will supposedly follow Warden and be more or less based of IDW with some added extras.

Pandinus will be a city bot.

You have room for both

Have to agree there, in the cartoon Scorponok was a lumbering giant cityformer of limited intellect, in the comic he was an above average sized Decpticon leader of significant to incredible intellect. So I do see a place for both toys as homage to the varied portrayals of Scorponok.

That's playing a dangerous game with the missus!

Size will be the deciding factor to which Scorpy I'll go for.
Don't like the face sculpt of the PE version and I'm always impressed by Maketoys' design... fingers crossed that this will be massive
