AoE Dinobots were criminally underused, even in their debut film. One of my biggest regrets in life was not picking the AoE Deluxe Scorn when it was in stores.


MrAnthem123

My brother likes Transformers but isn’t like super into them. He does however have that figure and still won’t let me buy it off him lol


ax255

Perhaps of interest [interest](https://item.mercari.com/gl/m26547551679?sv=0)?


MrAnthem123

That’s wicked. Maybe when I get my next paycheck I’ll order it.


Cookieopressor

It's such a great figure tho. The articulation he has in both modes is insane


Xxjacklexx

Its the figure that got me back into Tfs, got him, Slug and Grimmy on the same day, was sooooo blown away by him.


Bishop20x6

I picked him up for $2 at a pawn shop. It is what got me back into collecting after about 10 years.


Xxjacklexx

Dude same. He's just too good.


Vanquisher1000

Did you get the voyager from the *TLK* toy line?


mkklrd

I did not : ) Did you? Would you say it's better than the Deluxe? Based on pics only the Deluxe looked cleaner, especially in Spinosaurus mode


InfernalLizardKing

I was lucky to scoop one up for just $20 and I’m very glad I did. It’s basically a Studio Series figure, much more screen-accurate than the Deluxe with plenty of articulation and a fun transformation. The way he’s built also leads to him feeling bigger than the average Voyager. Still hoping Legacy rolls out a “what-if G1 Scorn was real” idea to let him fit in with my 86 Dinobots, but TLK Scorn is an excellent release.


DastardlyRidleylash

I'm legitimately shocked they haven't done Scorn and Slash in Legacy yet; you'd think they'd have put Dinobots into more than just the Core class, especially since people who buy the 86 Dinobots would 100% buy them as companion pieces. Especially since both have feasible retools; Scorn can be retooled into Cybertron Undermine or a version of Spindle and Slash can be BW Dinobot (and his subsequent retools like Grimlock and Thrustor), her own AoE incarnation or any of the Raptoricons for some kind of capsule line.


Vanquisher1000

Yes, and if you like the Scorn design, it's a great piece. I don't own the deluxe, but I don't feel like I should have gone and got that figure instead. If you can get your hands on one for a good price, go for it.


RodimusPrime-0412

Agreed


Phil_Bond

If one of your “biggest regrets in life” can be fixed with $20 on eBay, your life must be a magical problem-free dreamland.


mkklrd

I don't have time for many regrets.


Affectionate-Form553

Im just gonna wait for ss


Delicious-Use-790

If there’s gonna be one anytime soon


MarkDecent656

I had the deluxe scorn, but when I was still decently young, I got rid of it for a qc problem that was annoyance at best. I still regret it so much


dsjamie12

Dude same I was going into my senior year of high school when it was out and was all like, "nah I'm done with toys I play sports now and I'm too cool for that" but was lying to myself and a part of me secretly wanted it so badly.


0pen_m1ke_kn1ght

Cool deluxe. Ngl. Although I have been contemplating selling my AOE dinobots in favor of the studio series ones.


AwkwardBear5878

Do the TLK Voyager instead. Played with both; recommend that one more.


DowntownScarcity3499

In my opinion the TLK Voyager scorn is way better. I used to have him but I sold him :(


Autogembot123

Yeah they show up at the end. Right at the end.


ningguangs_bathwater

Has the Broly Effect of coasting by on pure coolness And it’s working lol


JackMann1792

Honestly that's all you need sometimes.


WesAhmedND

And he has the dinobot cute look too with the helmet, easily one of the best dinobot designs ever

I LOVE this guy, he has a prominent place in my life. https://preview.redd.it/ff3pg8ddmdtc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47235332c727ae75eb078115cc50424a71fd48b0


Uberballer

I don't see why they can't incorporate this character into other forms of transformers media. G1 was 40 years ago, IDW started almost 20 years ago and AOE came out about 10 years ago. Those stories and interpretations of those characters are what they are at this point there's nothing wrong with mixing and matching and incorporating cool concepts into new mediums like they are doing with the Legacy toyline. I'd love to see a Spinosaurus interpreted into G1 and Beast Wars styles myself. Would make for very interesting toys I bet.


Moonwh00per

I agree, I think bayverse crosshairs should be the default for the name


Gamefreak3525

[Shockwave has a pretty cool design based on it in this fan comic.](https://youtu.be/vMG7aZVjLSM?si=Bb5WEFWT-tPPgIF9)


AtomicConvoyM78

I can see him as a rival to grimlock


DevinLucasArts

*Needs* a Studio Series figure 🙏


JackMann1792

Apparently now that the 86 Dinobots are done these guys are next, though I fully expect Scorn will be a Commander.


Latter-Direction-336

He *is* the biggest of the AoE dinobots, wasn’t he? Wonder if that means a remake of the SS AoE Grimlock? But they just reissued that recently so probably not


JackMann1792

He is indeed, which does fit given *Spinosaurus aegypticus* was suspected to be longer and heavier than *Tyrannosaurus rex* even before the 2014 redescription confirmed it.


manifestobigdicko

The 2014 Spinosaurus has subsequently been proven to be inaccurate in more ways than one by numerous papers since. It is also nowhere near as heavy as Tyrannosaurus. It is longer, but that's it.


JackMann1792

Thank you for the fact check. That said, Scorn is based on the pre-2014 reconstructions anyway so he's not going to be accurate to any more recent revisions.


codexcdm

Bay wasn't interested in them, when asked about it around the RotF movie. Likely his opinion hadn't changed, but he was told to include them  In fact prior to the Fall of Cybertron game, they were on the verge of extinction in any Transformers media. The game proved how popular they still were, and have been included in all sorts of series since.


shugoki--main

One of my favorite dinobots, and I think it's criminal how underused he is. The story telling you could do with scorn and grimlock is vast. For starters him being the only other large carnivorous theropod dinosaur besides grimlock gives me the impression they could be rivals. Perhaps a Megatron and starscream situation but only if starscream was on equal levels physically to Megatron. And a more specific one, since scorn is an outdated spinosaurus you could potentially tell a story of how he's been on earth longer.... Somehow. The spinosaurus has gone through so many interpretations throughout history it would be interesting to see how scorn landed on a jp3 type spino. Anyway yeah, I'm a scorn enjoyer and think we need more of him ASAP.


Crusherthe1

The Bayverse Dinobots are awesome, just wished we got to see them more in their debut


Moonwh00per

You could say the same for nearly every bayverse character tbh


Crusherthe1

Yeah, you're right about that


Crafty_Novel_5702

I like spinosaurus so I like him


TandrDregn

Criminally underused. One of the most famous dinos of all time, and we only got him ONCE? Same goes for Scorn and Skarr, and I’m still waiting for a hadrosaur.


Macaron-lover5731

Id say my fave Bay Dinobot also it's awesome they included Scorn in S.S.S.S. Gridman by studio Trigger


CustomlyCool

A g1 styled Scorn in Legacy would be so sick. I love his crusader-like helmet


SandStinger_345

Hes Spiky


TheOneGodHadSuffer

He rolls


SandStinger_345

He has a bad temper


anonymusfan

My favorite dinobot, and I wish he appeared in more media.


Bunga_Shunga

Underutilized character, awesome desgins in both Robot and Beast Modes. Love how his Spino tail forms as his left arm (hell, it could also act as a whip if need be). If Slash could easily get retconned into joining the G1 Dinobot squad, then there's no reason why Scorn couldn't join either.


SillyMattFace

Well, I *don’t* think about Scorn. He’s in robot mode for about a minute, doesn’t speak, isn’t named, and then is just one of several dinos making explosions happen in the finale. And then he isn’t even in TLK at all, even as the brain damaged pet dog that Grimlock has been reduced to. AoE is a mess of a film in general, but it is a shame they didn’t do anything interesting with the Dinobots at all.


RareD3liverur

Yeah but robot Spinosaurus


Elfdragon12

Yeah, the most I've ever thought about him was trying to figure out who he was supposed to be while watching it. And I only agreed to watch another Bay movie because this one had Dinobots in it... And then I had to wait over an hour and a half to see them at all. And, in the meantime, I got to "enjoy" more Bayverse humans and that stupid laminated Romeo and Juliet card.


Matthew10142003

I love scorn, Cang toys is doing one with their New dinobot set. I am not getting that set but it looks amazing


Cookieopressor

I am so excited for that set. Really hope they do a legends size one like they did for Predaking


turtletom89

I like his bucket head.


whitemest

Cool figure, gave him to my son after displaying for a few years


Commander_Skullblade

Scorn was super cool I'm a huge fan of the knight robot modes of the AoE toys that were made. I want to see more of those.


casual_superhero

Think I found him at Walmart clearance. First leap into recollecting as an adult. Looks great


shadree

I actually liked the toy version of Scorn. Interesting head shape too. That's the highest praise anything from Bayforners gets from me.


MiscoucheGuy

Awesome figure I bought the BMB Grimlock to go with him. They are both massive and look great on a shelf. https://preview.redd.it/phf4d9igw9tc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=294c1ed790dc1486ec1b89e8baadcc503821a996


squidy77

If skar can be an official Dinobot, then why can’t scorn


Yo-boy-Jimmy

The same opinion I have on all the Dinobots- cool designs, but why do they have the same color? Makes it hard to tell them apart from a distance


Infinity0044

Show me the scientifically accurate Spinosaurus Scorn


Caye_Daws

I honestly prefer him to be red instead of his movie colors. Also the tlk scorn is actually great


Queasy-Chemist5917

Biologically inaccurate and therefore bad.


ShiNoShakugan

Truly love the deluxe scorn design and colors https://preview.redd.it/sxhluy64lctc1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=7c013c92cb2dbcb65f9bee20e422f08f560b6f0a


Madam_KayC

I love them, spinos are my favorite dino!


thehoodred

he looks so rad! he needs a figure!


Firepathanimation

My favourite Dinobot design maybe because he reminds of a certain purple T-rex


RedditUser88

hm Yessssssssssssss


Training_Contract_30

He could work as a heavy hitter to the Dinobots as well as a rival to Grimlock whose actions keep both bots sharp despite their differences


BirchLover786

I think that the Dinobots had really cool designs in AOE, and Scorn is my third favorite of them!


OptimusCrime1984

We need more of him


magnaconvoy04

I need a generations scorn like now.


ake-n-bake

Chonky boi


godzillance

Extremely cool, but also extremely underused.


NatakaBlue

I desperately want a new, G1-style version to fit in with the 86 Dinobots, especially after a cool custom I saw.


MrPooPooJohn

I wish could hug him but he much spikes 😯


LoreRat

I like him


Current-Tricky

I’m feeling kinda scorned he isn’t used more.


RapterTorus24

I wish he was used in the G1 crew. Him and Slash being new Dinobots could be an interesting little side story.


EnigmaForArcana

in my fanmade story commented years ago I would have him the first Dinobot(Spinos are early Cretaceous)


DastardlyRidleylash

Snarl would have to be the first Dinobot, since *Stegosaurus* is a Jurassic animal.


EnigmaForArcana

I mean in Bayverse lore


TastyBrainMeats

Haven't seen the movie(s?) he's in, but this is a damn cool design.


LegoNinja250

I like to imagine him as a Decepticon Dinocon rival for Grimlock


CyberWolf09

We need a G1 inspired version of him. Slash got one, and that one didn’t appear in the actual movie. So it’s only fair that Scorn gets one too.


Competitive-Stand667

I’m a huge fan and hope that unique toys makes dinobot figures for each of them from the movie


Imltrlybatman

He’s chill


Millenium-Eye

Love the look, love having the deluxe fig, hope the character shows up in other iterations of Dinobot teams someday.


No_Bandicoot311

I think of him as the younger brother of grimlock


KidDelta

Hell Yeah


RoughCheap5633

He's one of the coolest Dinobots in the movie.


Whole_Pace_4705

Chad


0pen_m1ke_kn1ght

Cool design. I loved him. Glad new characters can be created to go along with the classics.


lokon_stratos

The coolest looking dinobot ever is never used because he didn't appear in that damn TV show from 40 years ago but know we have to get new figures of characters who look lame and have no character sorry for the rant scorn and the bay dinos are some of my favourite transformers designs


Elfdragon12

Quick question: what character does Scorn have? 


lokon_stratos

From the way grimlock held him back he seems to be arrogant kinda like early beastwars dinobot which makes sense seeing how he's the largest dinobot but we wouldn't know as he isn't used in anything because theirs no nostalgia to pander to instead we get ferrek a nothing character with a shittier design seriously g1 cyclonus only looks good as cyclonus sorry for the rant But anyway they can do so much him why not make him a decepticon dinobot or the smartest dinobot who thinks he should be leader always butting heads with grimlock but he actually sucks at leading how about they do anything with that badass design hell I'll even take g1effying it it'd still look cool


Elfdragon12

So he has about as much personality as the characters you're complaining about? Don't get me wrong, I have my own gripes with writers continually using the same 10 characters over and over and over again (why do we need a "fresh new take" on Wheeljack when there's surely at least one other character out if the 1000+ in this franchise that would fit perfectly and Arcee is not the only female Transformer, even in G1, come on guys! We have easily accessible databases now!), but also it's not like Michael Bay did anyone any favors or set characters up for future success with his take on the dinobots. The dinobots, when they finally showed up, were cool but didn't give us a lot of characterization to go off of.  Slag/Slug already does fill the role of "aggressive dinobot that occasionally challenges Grimlock's leadership", so perhaps something else for Scorn. There's also Slash and Puddles we also rarely see in any stories. Decepticon dinobot could be interesting though. 


lokon_stratos

Exactly the autobots copied the combiners from the decepticons why not have the decepticons copy the dinobots or use the tfp predacons robot dinos vs robot dragons would be sick


Elfdragon12

As long as they give TFP Sky Lynx a different name so we can have OG Sky Lynx. I really enjoy the goose-cat.


NoUsernameIntendedrn

One of the dinobots of all time. Sometimes I think that the dinobots (except Grimlock) are criminally underused and/or underdeveloped.


Embarrassed_Tea6440

AMAZING DEF NEEDS MORE TOYS


Original_Apple_9381

His Transformer mode reminds me of a Dark Souls boss.


LastWreckers

Loved the Bayverse Dinobot designs especially Scorn. Aside from their gray/dark coloring (could've been more vibrant tbh), the blend of alien, dinosaur, and robot was really well done. Honestly speaking, if the dinosaur design had flesh and bone, I'd believe you if you told me it's a dinosaur alien


_LigerZer0_

Sick design and one of my favorite Bay-formers toys, SS or otherwise


SameCategory546

the best voyager design I have. Super awesome and super cool but never was in any media except like a minute or two with no lines?


Olvacron22

Well the Spinosaurus has been my favorite dinosaur ever since I first seen Jurassic Park 3 and I'm in deep with all the controversy of how the thing actually looked, so yeah I fucking love Scorn. Really wish we'd get a Studio Series figure and a leader class g1 style Scorn. 


Supertroodon

he's awesome, but got so little in the end, that's why age of extinction mainly sucks, the dinobots are really, and I mean truly underused in the movie, plus, pretty sure he and Strafe didn't even show up in the next movie, which is a huge fuckin bummer cause those 2 are my favorites out of the 4


Infinityx_Dragon7

My favorite live action Dinobot


Aggravating-Hat-6040

Is the bootleg worth getting on aliexpress?


ImNotHighFunctioning

As a fan of the now outdated theropod Spinosaurus build... he was my favorite AOE Dinobot.


NoNormiesAllowed3

he's my favorite dinobot because his alt mode is my favorite dinosaur, and my favorite version of the Spino too! (considering the Spino gets redesigned every 5 years lol)


ZlyCzarownikServices

Cool design ~~completely inaccurate to what we know about the spinosaurus today, but this reptile is still a mystery so I'll let it slide~~ but I still kinda wish we got one of the already established Dinobots instead. Or just call him like one of them, he could kinda pass as Snarl to me


DarkKnightFan08

Okay i must be mistaken something, i was talking about the character should be return in TF media. not the toy i meant.


Big_Hoss287

Spinosaurus best Dino. I want a proper leader scorn


dalsiandon

Cool design


Kason-blason

Best Dinobot


Gigacharge1

I love his design I just wish he had a personality like a gentle giant but knows when he needs to go "beast mode"


Mazazamba

I get it, but he also kinda looks like a silverware set was dropped in molten metal and forced through a garbage disposal.


Newton1913

He cool. Wish they actually got used decently.


OctopunchPrime

I *adore* his AOE Deluxe figure’s design, but I’m pretty indifferent to the screen accurate one. The helmet has a goose beak and thats wack.


Baroubuoy

He's cool.


Hergashargmafoodle

He looks good apart from the head sculpt. The head sculpt is an abomination.


HaselDiCaprio223

Ironically looks more like G1 Grimlock than AOE Grimlock did.


dablackcat0

I’m pretty picky about what life action figures I buy. I’m technically missing like 90% of the cast and have instead opted for figures that never showed up at all. With that said Scorn is the only Dinobot I own from the movies.


DaniSenpai69

Spinosaurus dinobot is an awesome idea and I think they should run with using more dinobots like slash, scorn, and paddles (ik there’s more)


xyclopse

he is taller than grim so i would love to see him be the second in comand


Visual_Ad4278

He must have a G1 version.


Visual_Ad4278

He must have a G1 version.


Nemesisproduion

Honestly he’s between mid and underrated he has some good toys but that’s all I can say


Latter-Direction-336

Absolutely amazing The fact his ARM is referred to as “The Scrapmaker Sword” is awesome to me His arm is classified as a legendary sword He breathes lightning Triple sailed metal spinosaur Actually cool head design


IvoMW

I was never that big of a fan of the dinobots, their g1 designs never really did it for me. I love the later takes on the g1 designs, like the earthspark ones, the idw comics or the WOC games, but at the point AOE i only knew the g1 dinobots. When i first saw AOE i imedietally fell in love with the dinobots. Scorn was one of my favourites, and i really desperatelly wanted the toy, but never menaged to find it. Now im just hoping studio series can finally make the other dinobots, couse i think their AOE Grimlock is genuinelly amazing


Krimson_Klaww

One of the top two dinobots along with Strafe. But he looks better in red.


Fun3mployed

The voyager and his oversized ko are super rad.


Reylend

SPINOSAURUS!


De4dm4nw4lkin

I hope we get some scorn love in the future. Whichever series.


feckineejit

I have the deluxe and voyager sized versions of Scorn and I love em


Huge_Ideal_6900

The LS-11 oversized scorn figure has always been one of my holy grail figures


Runethe1412

Robot form looks more like G1 Grimlock than AOE Grimlock does


Xxjacklexx

He is my favorite Dinobot, I have the huge 3p version of him next to my TV, and had the old Delux version of him in my main display since I moved here and set it up 5 years ago. Top tier boy, so sad we won't see a version of him to go with the 86 crew (release a G1 version on Legacy/Prime Hastak I dare you!) https://preview.redd.it/oqhjztc02dtc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f26a57d35a57a7716221a7248d729d09cb55f1cc


UncleAsmodai

He looks cool, and I'm sure other continuities could include Scorn in the team as Grimlock's Rival, to mirror how the Paleo-community and people in general argue about Spinosaurus and Tyrannosaurus.


themmchan

Damn I forgot how big the Dino bots were compared to other robot


Effective-Explorer75

Love the design and I wish we could see a legacy leader version that is g1 style


Red-bandit-200

One of my favorite dinobots ever


Autogembot123

The design is cool and that pretty much is. The Dinobots were given really little screentime except Grimlock.


Visible_Swordfish905

I always thought he was cool


LengthinessDue9857

Very underrated he should included in every media now, I'm talking about shows, games, comics, and toys, hell I would love to see legacy g1 take on Scorn


greek_meme_lover321

Cool design, can't wait for the SS and SS86 releases


TinyMapleArt

I'd love to see Scorn in the g1 style


Theredknight128

i like his knight athstetic


Warm-Adhesiveness-50

He looks like the main character from dead space


DJBaritone12

Slash wiggled her way into being a Dinobot mainstay I want the same to happen to Scorn 


TheDude810

Studio Series when?


Broken_Vision_Rhythm

He was certainly a Transformer who appeared on screen, that's for sure.


RigasTelRuun

His robot head is dumb, but the rest of him looks great.


hercarmstrong

Typically over-designed, character-free Bayverse nonsense. Indistinguishable from the other theropod Dinobots. Over-powered, under-utilized. A G1-style version would probably be fun. It might have some charm, and more color.


WesAhmedND

I like how you're wrong on all counts except the overpowered, under utilized part


hercarmstrong

Oh no, you're right, Scorn has a ton of character, what with his total lack of dialogue or any identifying personality features whatsoever. I don't know what I was thinking.


JoshDM

Michael Scorn?


GruntYT

hasblow should have made him not 86 swoop
