Scoop is amazing. I own the original toy as well as this and this is an extremely impressive upgrade. The transformation instructions are a little confusing but it is a great upgrade for one of the old Targetmasters. Now the main toy is Scoop and he comes with two tiny Transformers named Holepunch and Caliburst. Now Caliburst was renamed from Burst for the original toy but everything else is the same name wise. Holepunch and Caliburst both transform into guns or they can be combined into a giant gun as well. The guns can attach to the sides of Scoop in vehicle mode or on top of his legs. We are looking at a total of four pegs that can hold either gun.
The comic is a little of a disappointment. In wave one of the IDW comic / toy packs, the toys had individual comics and were completely new. The third wave, which Scoop is a part of, is just reprints of the Dark Cybertron. It is good if you never bought the comics but a low blow if you get them from the comic store like myself. Now this comic is Dark Cybertron Chapter 2: Black Metal. Scoop is in a few panels but not a main character. It is actually pretty humorous actually. Still a great deal for those who never got it though!
I can say that there is a few comic packs that I would consider a good investment. Waspinator was good. Skids was good. Scoop is good. Some are not. The reasoning why is that a good chuck of these comic / toy packs are simple repaints of different molds. Scoop is a new mold and a great character. If you do not own him, get him right away! He is a popular character and will probably fly off the shelf just as fast as Skywarp, Skids and Waspinator.
