I've never been thrilled with the name "Scattorshot" (I wish it were called Scattershot) -- but the name isn't what's making not get the toy. I dunno... I saw it in Kmart and I held it and stared at it for ages, but it just didn't appeal to me. It doesn't seem particularly bad, but it wasn't compelling for me either.

The choice of blue looks nice and evokes Cybertron Scattershot quite well to me (I'm assuming that the toy is a homage to Cybertron Scattorshot).
