I'm always gonna answer that question with "ROBOT FREAKIN SCORPION" because...does that even require a "because"?

Yeah I would prefer the robotic scorpion if I had to choose

[DarthBrett]

I thought of something that could be a cool nod to the original and would please most people...

What if he came with the giant, mechanized scorpion and then also came with an actual little pet goliath scorpion accessory that you could put in his hand that is accurately scaled?

Although I also like the idea that the original was supposed to be some special genetically mutated super scorpion that Cobra had Mindbender create in his lab.

I guess I want both.

Even though the idea of a giant scorpion seems more fantastic than a mechanical one, I didn?t like the look of the mechanical scorpion. Perhaps a Classified version might look better if they go that route, but they may also decide to go with a smaller scorpion which will keep this out of the deluxe price range, which isn?t a good idea for a troop builder. I won?t be buying four of him if he?s $35.

I'm thinking if they were to make the giant scorpion (mechanized or mutated) about as big as a backpack, it should be able to remain a regular mainline figure. Would still be intimidating but also a size that keeps the figure in the regular line like you mentioned.

Don't get me wrong. I would def take a normal big ole scorpion without complaint. But you gave me the choice between a normal biggun and a robbit.

Revoltec made one a few years back that was pretty great. But it's massive

Now that's a scorpion you can ride into battle.
