Here is something you don’t see everyday. New images have emerged of a previously unknown G1 Scorponok color scheme! Thanks to Roll Out Roll Call for the heads up.
“One of the many areas Roll Out Roll Call, The UK Transformers, G.I. Joe & Action Force Show is active within is helping fans and collectors an invaluable insight into the history, design and production of all the toys we know and love. Over the years, we have been involved bringing to light many concepts, ideas and products of ‘what could have been’, we love it and the feedback we get is you all do too 🙂 Thanks to our friends and guru’s at The Spacebridge and Transformers At The Moon – Transformers Toys – Transformers At The Moon – we are proud to showcase a previously unknown preproduction alternate deco for Scorponok. This awesome alternate deco may have at one point been a consideration for the Italian market, via distribution through GiG under license from Takara directly in 1987. We hope you enjoy it and look forward to providing you with more awesome reveals in the future.”
Check out all the new G1 Scorponok images after the jump.

I knew it made me think of another character but I couldn't put my finger on it.
Thanks

You know who it reminds me of?
SHOKARACT.

my inner 7-year-old who got Scorponok for christmas in 1987 hates it; my almost 37-year-old self can't wait for HASTAK or a 3rd party to make it happen.

It's beautiful. I'd love an Encore in these colors.

I also get a bit of a Unicron vibe from the color scheme. Very cool.

It would be good for a Botcon exclusive if they were still around.
Sanchimaru
Good find!
This color scheme reminds me of Unicron.

That has to be where the not-Scorponok from the Micromaster ad got his colours. The colours aren't 100% in the right places, but neither are half the rest of animated Transformerdom's hues. It doesn't seem implausible that he might have been proposed as a Micromaster base in the late eighties.

Although I'm used to it, I think the colours on the original are more garish and worthy of G2 than this one.
I mean – the original is purple green and neon orange. This new found version is much more tame, I feel. Although I guess he has that big green gun going for him.

You know, for all the years I'd been obsessed with Car Robots, I'd never thought of that. Just needs a little more orange and he'd be perfect.

Looks dope. Nice colour scheme worthy of G1 but of course scorponok already has a colour scheme.
Bravemaximike
Looks almost like a G2 color scheme. Lol

I want now.

Looks more like a prototype with those colors

I can't believe we never saw this before.
This is a cool find!

THIS!
And THIS.
Come on… This is as coincidental as it gets.
Maybe Hasbro chose natural scorpion colors? But brighter brown because they think black will not appeal to children (too dark) – this is likely the thought process.
I say make it LOUDER! My eyes are burning…

rather cool but I think we ended up with the better colour schemes
