Torso and forearms from Cerebros?

	I realized I'm challenging an assertion made 17 years ago, but to me, the forearms and torso don't look like Cerebros at all... neither the toy, the cartoon model, or the Japanese Headmasters anime model. They look as much like Cerebros as they do dozens of other Transformers. They're just very generic looking. Does anyone agree that this small part of the article about Cerebros should be removed, since it seems to be incorrect?

	::The only thing that doesn't match exactly to the original Scorponok toy is that the feet are a different color from the chest. However - examining photos of Black Zarak, it appears that this is not impossible with the Scorponok mold. BZ's feet are gold plastic, while his chest and shoulder guns are chrome gold. Therefore, it's not a hard leap to the idea that Blue Scorponok utilized this facet of the mold to make the legs and feet solid white.		::The only thing that doesn't match exactly to the original Scorponok toy is that the feet are a different color from the chest.

	::As to Blue Scorpy versus Giant Decepticon Warrior... he's got dark grey in places that Blue Scorpy has white.

			To clarify- I was proposing that Giant Decepticon Warrior was a mash-up of the two color schemes. The lack of shoudler cannosn and gray shoudlers/legs coming fromt his mystery guy, the rest coming from Scorponok. Thus ''loose'' inspiration, not pure.

			::Looking at the commercials in question again, and at your visual aid, um... the are some problems. For one, Derek, your photoshop of toy-Scorponok in the commercial guy's colors doesn't MATCH the color layout as seen in the commercial - heck, look at the screenshots right next to it. His thighs are supposed to be blue, not white, and his shins are white, and not blue.

			::When you compare the color layouts of the two toys, they match.
