There are a few images missing, I've let them know and they'll have them up later, so I'll update when they're posted.

I can only hope that this is a case of pre-production looking different from final model, but honestly the art says this is it and it's not working. I do agree that matchy-matchy combiner is an interesting idea, and I applaud them for giving each figure a unique head sculpt.
The individual weapons that combine into a sword is really cool though. Sadly I think that's probably the best thing about the figure.
They also gave it side-hinged feet, which is nice since flat-footed poses are more stable than edge-footed the way the regular figures are now. And they gave it real hands. But that sword combo is definitely the thing I locked onto fastest.
Disappointing they won't be giving Scattorshot the other Technobots, or even a new combiner head for 'Betatron'. Just looks like a red Superion with random limbs.
They didn't mention the other Technobots, they won't be coming when Scattorshot is released, but I suppose they could be planning them down the road. I wouldn't count on that though.
Betatron has a slightly new head, there's fins coming off either side.
Can't say I care for the G2 repaints of Superion and Menasor. Just never been a fan of the G2 colors.
Me either, although Superion doesn't look that bad.

Were I to hazard a guess, they wanted voting to be easy so they offered pairs of an idea. It's not like it would have cost them one red cent to use different molds they already have, after all. And they only have 1 mold for a helicopter.
