HISS Tank boards member Gyre-viper has posted images of a Cobra Mech Suit planned for release in the Pursuit Of Cobra line, but so far has yet to appear at retail. This mech suit is the Minotaur With Desert Scorpion. The Minotaur is another mech suit that makes use of the canceled Shadow Hammer Mech mold from Sigma 6.
More images of the Minotaur after the jump. Are you looking forward to the Minotaur with Desert Scorpion?
Gyre-Viper says
I'm giving the one they call Desert Scorpion top-billing in the thread title tonight. In-hand it's definitely a bit more tolerable than I expected it to be. The mech drivers in POC are pretty weak for the most part. Desert Scorpion... or as I like to call him: Desert Scorpion... is by no means an ample nor acceptable modern era update of its antecedent vintage incarnation... but it's definitely a bit cooler in person I think. It grows on me more and more, but no... it's certainly no Night Fox, as far as POC vehicle drivers go. Take a look at DS's arms/shoulders/elbows. Also if you notice... the paint apps on this figure differ from the convention display prototype. Both of these DSes have what I assume are test-shot markings on their foreheads. NEITHER sample came MIB. No box to be seen. No Alpine and Mech to be seen. The mech is a brown trying to pass for a bronze (intentionally or not). BUT I do like this mech much much more than the first ones. I really hope Hasbro recognizes how much people want a top shelf modern update of Desert Scorpion. They can toss this one at us if they want but if they did one on par with the Wave 3 and 4 POC figures... I think it would leave a crater of joy with the collecting collective.

And yes both of these are spoken for.

They didn't paint the shoulder and elbow pieces? Odd, but everything looks good otherwise. I wouldn't mind adding a pair to the collection.

Those are not the arms we had previously seen on DS.

Gyre, I love ya man (possibly in a completely creepy and entirely unnatural way) but there is no way you will convince me those things are a poor update of the original. I owned one (admittedly, only for an hour) and it was not that great. Guy wore a yellow leotard.
I think they should have distanced it a little further still and replaced the yellow with a desert tan.

C'mon, it should've looked like this:
