3rd Party group Warbotron is on a roll. Following the announcement of their third combiner, a not-Computron and the first full reveal of their not-Afterburner from the project, we now have our first look at the central figure. Shown on their Facebook page, this version of the Technobot Scattershot is shown here as a grey prototype. No jet mode images thus far, but he does come with a pair of axes.
Check out the new images after the jump.

I'm a big fan of their Scattershot, easily my favorite figure of this set. He scales well with MP, standing about half a head shorter than MP10. His alt mode is huge too, I'd say about the size of MMC Hexatron if you have him for reference. If you dig Warbotron figures or are just looking for a solid Scattershot, this more than worked for me.

Thanks a lot! Leaning toward yes

Check out the YouTube reviews from Bobby Skullface and emgo316. Lots of comparisons to see. Both guys recommend him as a standalone figure, though it is not perfect.
Personally, I really enjoy him. My copy didn't have quite as many tolerance issues as Skullface's, but it did have some. Overall, it is a really good figure, and you can add my name to the "yes, recommend" list. But check out the reviews carefully and see if all the particulars, good and bad, suit your tastes.

Thinking of getting this guy as a standalone figure, how does he scale with other masterpieces in alt and bot mode? Having trouble finding pictures of this. Also how is he as a figure? Have not heard much praise about him. Thanks!

Doesn't appear to. Must be shipping with their Strafe.

Is Scattershot supposed to be missing the combiner wrists?
Mobb One
…haven't seen that before. Are you a seeker fanatic??
That being said, I like this scattershot as a CHUG update

I'm not so hot on the rest of this set, but I may get just Scattershot; he really works for me as the G1 character, and my MP Autobots need help.

that's great! love the great official alternative that we have here. thx for the share i will be sure to keep tabs on CW Scattershot!!!
TigerBlade
Lol unless that repainted Silverbolt is MP scale then this is nowhere near comparable. Now Maketoys Scattershot? He's around the same size as the official I believe. Try starting there
ronin4375
u mean a repainted Silverbolt?

I'll just get CW Scattershot and save $$$$

Plus I believe some of the early reviewers said those bits are diecast.

They have the texture of painted die-cast, and you can even see the typical paint chipping of diecast.
Rahvin
Who said they were diecast? They're screwed together, I was thinking silver or silver-painted plastic.

Damn you warbotron! Had this released on time I would been able to enjoy this set! Oh well, guess next year I may repurchase this combiner if they sell a set or if someone let's him go at a reasonably cheaper price. Since GT and warbotron are unrelated though I wonder if this means that they may still be doing wb02 menasor? I wish they would…no good menasors out at the moment and fp's is just too dang small…if warbo doesn't make a menasor I guess there is always transformission's offering coming out. But those diecast combiner pegs are revolutionary, looks like this Computron is gonna be REAL solid
Sentinel
Combiner pegs for the feet.
mapatel
very nice. What are those silver pieces in the last picture though?

Liking the feet design, getting a 'Wiley Coyote' Rocket shoe feel. Now if they had wheels underneath…
