It looks like the Scorpion has a scorpion logo on the cast control knob.

Scorpion logo looks better than the Tatula spider tribal-bro arm Tattoo thing.

What's wirh the circle on the palming plate. I thought it was used to open the side plate but that is not the case in the video. Is it just a styling que borrowed from the Bantam MGL? It is nice that it has an external centrifugal dial. Maybe this will make its way into the regular SLX at some point.
