BotCon Reveals 2014 Figure – Decepticon Pirate Scorponok with Headmaster Olin Zarak

Well, to quote a spinach-eating sailor man, blow me down.  Or as I tweeted,

I’ve lamented that we weren’t getting Nightbeat as a Headmaster later this year.  I’ve wondered if we’d ever get a Headmaster figure again.  Looks like BotCon has answered my mostly-unheard request, because lo and behold, they just showed off Decepticon Pirate Scorponok with Headmaster Olin Zarak.

scrponokBOTwebLook at him.  Look at how glorious he is.  LOOK AT THAT HEAD.  It’s like it’s 1987 all over again with that sculpt.  And, apparently, it kind of is:

So, we’ve got a Energon Scorponok in a near perfect G1 deco and an original 1987 a classic Headmaster mold?  Damn.  Home run for G1 fans.

EDIT:  BotCon says it’s they used Encore Spike mold and gave it the Scorponok face.
