After a longer look at the figure I assume that hasbro are going for the movie colours and look in the big Kreo block toy, but from the little kreon, it my be G1 based. Personally I think a G1 based colour scheme would sell better, not only for the collectors, but a more uniform based colour scheme would appeal to the young'uns too.

Is it sad that even though I saw the topic title my first reaction (and have to continue to fight it) was that they are making a Kreo Energon Scorponok?
