MakeToys - Pandinus (Concept Drawings)

[SuspectimusPrime]

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

It seems there's another product catalog out there. I must find it.

LOL at the world's biggest not-Decepticon insignia.

Hehe, it's a cool implementation...

...but you may not grasp how BIG it actually is!



















Not since Masterpiece Soundwave have I wanted a figure SO bad!
This thing ticks every box for me; it screams Super-Robot/Mecha, whilst being the absolute Hulkish-Tank of a Headmaster I've always envisioned Zaraku/Scorponok could be!
