Yes, Hasbro has a modern version of the 1991 Desert Scorpion due to be released with a repaint/retooled Mech (the Cobra Minotaur) in spring 2011

Looks like a simple kitbash mostly. I've seen better looking desert scorpion customs here on the tank. Hopefully they'll retool him.

Yeah, the new Desert Scorpion isn't anywhere near as awesome as the original was back then. Here's to hoping the one shown at Joecon will be revised.

I actually like it - sure it needs a different upper torso and removable shoulder pads and a different head or head gear, but really it is easily identifiable as a homage to the RAH. I do hope it loses the Night Creeper headgear and gets its own, but the PoC version does kind of make sense for its environment.

Now that I think about it, they might not make any changes to the DS figure. If you look at some of the other figures that come with allot of vehicles, are mostly frankenjoes with a different paint job. I'll probably just stick with making a desert scorpion custom.

this was exactly the custom I was talking about ratfink! Haha! We need to hold this as the standard for the ME desert scorpion. If hasbro can't come up with something more like this, they should just give up on releasing a desert scorpion. Ha!
