What if it's some weird ass version of Energon Omega Supreme? It already has the headmaster gimmick. That'd fit in the box in vehicle mode, barely. :twisted:

And that would cover the potential "ship". And it would certainly be something FunPub has never done before: use a size larger than Ultra.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

I'd take a Scorpy. Energon done up as G1 colours? Fine. Black Zarak reissue? I don't see it happening but I'd be all for it.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

The official BotCon Twitter account has been busy hinting at the identity of their next Pirates vs. Knights figure. According to their tweets the next reveal will be a big one that celebrates the 30th anniversary and may have a Nebulan partner. This Nebulan would appear to be the previously teased Olin......son of Zarak! Their teaser tweets and a new color image of Olin can be found below.

...Y'know what? I like it. I'm confident (and friggin' excited) that the next reveal will be pretty [enter appropriate explicit remark that reflects excitement]. Half of me doesn't want it to be the Energon Kicker mold (if it's meant to be), but the other half of me is like "Yeah... I could get behind that".

Why would you think Kicker? He's the son of Zarak...

If he does transform could head master from scorponok, or minicon, if they decide to give him human body be kicker it woild be nice if he is headmaster I buy new upgrade head for scorponok if he looks good in head/bot mode,.

:lol: maybe its combination of both kicker that transforms into head master, that wouldnt to be bad if its made properly to fit onto big headmasters im little excited to see finished product find out if they go with headmaster route hate to see it if its kicker body with bot head on his back that doesnt transform into headmaster that will look terrible bring this concept to life :michaelbay:

Okay, let me break it down for ya.

* Olin is Zarak's son.
* Zarak was the Headmaster of Scorponok
* This is 30 years after the G1 cartoon
* Fun Pub is using an Energon mold this year
* Fun Pub will be doing something they've never done before
* The last page is full of posts talking about this

We could be getting a new version of G1 Scorponok made from Energon Scorponok with a full-fledged transforming Headmaster head as Olin. :KREMZEEK: :KREMZEEK: :KREMZEEK: :KREMZEEK:

Sweet potatoes.

Which is awesome.

As much as I love this thread, my viewing capabilities have been rather... limited, for lack of a better term. Goddamn laptop decided to quit functioning on me at the worst possible moment of my senior year. :BANG_HEAD:

And some are thinking that, instead of it being just Scorponok, it could be BlackZarak due his pirate get-up from Zone:

Just had an insane idea. What if... it'll be a combination of Generation One Scorponok and Zone General Black Zarack? Like, the body of Energon Scorponok, the transforming Headmaster partner of Olin, but decoed like his Zone self?

Insanity? I think so not! :KREMZEEK:

Well, I'd say I pegged it pretty good at the start of the first thread about this "Olin" character. I predicted nerd rage if this guy wasn't a tribute to a Nebulan and, lo and behold... we have ourselves a Nebulan. Now whether we have ourselves an honest to goodness Headmaster figure being resurrected and repainted (I'm going to laugh hysterically if he's a puny TargetMaster and you guys get SOOO screwed on the figure) or whether we have an action figure along the lines of the SDCC Cobra Commander style (or Kicker as I saw another member mention) is something they'll still tease you all with for a while longer.

I don't care regardless. I'm just here to watch the BotCon boys throw the rest of you some bones and watch you all go nuts over something that is going to get shoe-horned into being canon in the most abstract or utterly absurd manner imaginable.

Much as I try to avoid knee-jerk negativity to that which is new, someone has to say it:

For the past 27 years, the Nebulon I've most wanted to see get a toy is Zarak's daughter, thank you.

Now as for this guy..."Olin"...maybe he was forced into a life of piracy by a scandal over the gastrointestinal side effects of his fat-substitute food additive? That wouldn't be much odder than half the backstories Budianski came up with for the TFU entries of 1988 Nebulons.

Or maybe it's supposed to be close enough to "Odin" to imply that the version of Scorponok he's binary bonded to will have some mythical, borderline godly power?

Or maybe a reference to astronomer Olin Wilson?

Or just a random name with no relation to any daddy-issues that might define who he is?

Whatever. There was a time when Scorponok was my favorite G1 'Con, but for some reason I was never crazy about the Energon toy, worthy homage though the character was. It would still be neat to see it become an actual Headmaster; maybe make a cockpit by gutting the electronics? Or if that'd be way too expensive, just have Olie stand on the powerlinx points. As for the paint job, Zazorigan's colors would be new enough to the mold, but all the red would be close to Double Punch's Beast Wars color scheme...whatever that might end up signifying if you display it next to DP's 2010 toy.

Llyra will be acknowledged in this story.

The reason they created a brother for her is because the story they wanted to tell called for a role that he would be better suited to play than his anti-Decepticon/anti-Headmaster sister would.

You are aware that "Olin" is a real name, right? It's a Scandinavian name that typically means "heir", which fits for his inheriting his father's Scorponok creation.
