In the second to last page of the instruction booklet he's there. Are you talking about the page that goes over the special attack features? I just pulled out the quick start guide to see what you are talking about... And I do see scorponok with a different paint scheme (dont know how I missed that before), but his name on the front still says scorponok.... If Im not mistaken, the difference between skorponok and dark scorponok is more than just paint deep isnt it?

You're supposed to grab the arm and fling said enemies with it, manually. I know, that sucks....that's why I got rid of my TFs. wait a mintue, let me see if i have this right. you got rid of all your TF attacktix because of scorponok. Scorponok is awesome, and f you have probelms with him, don't use him. don't just quit over one figure.

I just played a seven player allout melee (150 pt) against all Star Wars and ended up the last man standing with:
-Super Optimus Prime (Vehicle Mode) (left standing) -Battle Ravage -Dirt Boss (left standing) -2 x Decepticlone -Scorponok (left standing) -Medic Droid (knocked out in the 5th round
scorponok and battle ravage are a solid 50 pt melee combo. With use of the proper backups and maximizing your points by starting out with vehicle modes when possible is really effective.

I'm holding out hope that the Autobots will get some good strikers in Series 2 - that's the only reason I've held on to some of my TF Tix. By the way darkknightmare, your avatar is awesome!

Hopefull in the next set the Autobots do get some good strikers as well as the Decepticons get more shooters(only like 7 for decepticons, where most of the autobots are shooters).

most likely there will be a second set, no way hasbro is going to let the TF line of attacktix die so soon

Some rumor are that Tf series 2 will be a mixed series with possibly G1 figures.

From Hasbro (now added to the transformers FAQ):
Q: Scorponok and Omega Supreme: Both can be manually manipulated to slowly lift you off the ground and flip you, OR be pulled back and pushed down for a forceful swing. Is this correct? A: Exactly, they are meant to lift up your opponent's base and topple them. In Omega's case he can lift figures and throw them into other opponents figures. [HASBRO]

ok, it seems to me that it is suposed to be loose, but to make sure please click the below pic to see just how it moves. Please let me know if this is normal. thank you! Yes, that's totally normal. What you do is turn him as far as you can so his left arm is in front and his striking arm is almost behind him. There's a place on his shoulder that's cut out, so it's easy to hold with your thumb and forefinger. When you strike with him, you can use a ton of force and throw enemies into the air. I haven't used him much yet, but I can tell that I'll be able to throw an enemy into a formation of figures and probably take out more than one. Also, he's my favorite so far, because although getting in that close may seem risky, he's pretty hard to take out for a 30 point figure.

If you can get Scorponok next to a figure, it's pretty much a guaranteed kill. I haven't played anyone else yet, but I've set up a few mock matches, and he one of my favorites as well.
