#Scorn dinobot movie

The figure reuses robot mode parts to form the dinosaur mode in a way that is solid and looks good on both modes. It’s just some very nice, smooth pin joints, and I love them to death. I found the thing at retail in 2016, if you can believe it.) The arms remind me of Siege or Earthrise engineering, just years before that happened. Similarly, the figure is a joy to transform because of the engineering, particularly of the arms and waist (the leg ball joints on my copy have been weird and powdery since day one, but I always chalked that up to sitting unopened in the back of a Toys R Us for two years.

#Scorn dinobot movie

While the sculpting of the figure actually does hew fairly closely to many of the details of Scorn’s movie character model, the figure has an ineffable je ne sais quoi in terms of proportions that makes it feel more like a stylized version of the character, especially in contrast with the later TLK figure, which looks like it hopped off the screen into a vat of red paint. This ends with the figure feeling very cartoony, in its own way. It has many of the features of AOE aesthetics such as the aforementioned jagged bits, knight features, and those fun little djinni booties all the Dinobots have, combined with the bright, vibrant colors and pseudo cell shading of the toyline. Because of the liberties taken with the movie character model, we get this weird hybrid design. Between the bright blue of his visor, the simplicity of the design, and the block coloration, it feels like something more out of Animated. Actually I’d argue that this is Scorn’s strongest point.I think the thing that most particularly demonstrates that is his headsculpt. Yes, it’s not accurate to the grey blur of a dinobot from the movie. Yes it’s one of the admittedly quite questionable AOE dinobots with that weird, unnecessarily complex jagged thing going on. First and foremost, Scorn has really good aesthetics. The figure has a couple key things going for it.
