&lt;div&gt;{{disambig3|Scorponok}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Scorponok is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie_Scorponok_Procterrender1.jpg|thumb|right|350px|This is his first major role since &#039;&#039;Mighty Morphin&#039; Power Rangers: The Movie&#039;&#039; as Scorpitron. This role he likes better because he doesn&#039;t get blown up.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Scorponok&#039;&#039;&#039; is a small [[Transformer]] with a symbiotic connection to [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]. His main drives are to hunt, destroy, and hunt some more, and nobody knows if he&#039;s truly barely sentient or is actually a cunning opponent getting friend &amp;amp; foe alike to underestimate him.. Just as Blackout would often be found looming powerful and silent by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], Scorponok is always near Blackout, except in those times he has been sent to kill. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since he can tunnel underground with frightening speed, he&#039;s incredibly good at ambushing. His favorite past time is playing Hide and Seek with unsuspecting players, be they robotic or organic. He prefers to be hider &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; seeker. On Cybertron, he was deliberately left behind on battlefields - so he could use his chameleon mesh armour plating to blend in perfectly with the background to ambush any Autobot patrols that would arrive. Megatron gave him more autonomy due to this than other Decepticons would get, as he admired Scorponok&#039;s genocidal zeal. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He may retreat but he&#039;ll come back. He kills Autobots. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fury_(Marvel_Comics) He never gives up]. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Character Profile: Scorponok in Transformers #9 (Titan)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fiction ==&lt;br /&gt;
===Ghosts of Yesterday===&lt;br /&gt;
He helped Blackout fight [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], and later sabotaged the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]&#039;&#039;. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] makes Scorponok his bitch for this. He is saved by Blackout, who was still recovering from a massive beating by Starscream. What a pal.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:HoorayScorponok.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Adorably bloodthirsty]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scorponok and Blackout, who ordinarily never leave [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]&#039;s side, were dispatched to join [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]&#039;s forces elsewhere on Cybertron while Megatron closed in on the [[All Spark]].  After the group realized that both the All Spark and Megatron have left Cybertron, Blackout ended an argument with Starscream over what to do next by deploying the fearsome Scorponok.  The entire group headed to Earth, where Scorponok adorably helped out in the massacre of a United States military installation in Afghanistan. {{Storylink|Transformers Movie Prequel (Target) Volume 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|This comic has the only fictional depiction of Scorponok&#039;s robot mode (which was designed for the toy), and shows that he has always had a scorpion beast mode, and as such it was not a form he assumed once on Earth. However, given the numerous and often contradictory continuity errors in this comic, this depiction of Scorponok should be taken with a grain of salt. Although, his beast mode is just alien enough to work. Explain his name yourself.}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Scorponok 2007game babygotback.jpg|thumb|120px|Coolest. Backpack. Ever.]]&lt;br /&gt;
After Blackout scrapped the military base in Qatar, Scroponok was sent to destroy four mobile communications vehicles, succeeding in his task. Scorponok went and did his own thing while Blackout searched the databanks for information on Megatron and the AllSpark, but reunited with Blackout in time for their escape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After arriving in [[Mission City]], Scorponok fought through a horde of [[Energon drone]]s to secure the AllSpark. Sam Witwicky nearly handed Scorponok the AllSpark, but [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] punted Scorponok. That made Blackout very mad...&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Movie_Blackout_Scorponok_eject1.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Oh, [[slag (slang)|slag]], I forgot the Bungee cord!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During Blackout&#039;s attack on [[United States Military|US]] [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]], the Decepticon helicopter dispatched Scorponok to seek out and destroy the escaped unit under the command of [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie_Scorponok_attack.jpg|thumb|right|200px|No one buries Scorponok in the sand and leaves him to the tide!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, as the surviving soldiers discussed the attack, Scorponok observed their conversation from a distance while hidden in the sand. Targeting Lennox for elimination, Scorponok followed the unit as they made their way to [[Mahfouz|the human boy&#039;s]] village. Choosing his moment to strike just as the men stopped on the outskirts of the settlement, his attack was foiled when [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]] saw the metal scorpion tail pointed at Lennox&#039;s back and shouted a warning. (Well, it wasn&#039;t so much a warning as it was a very, very panicked &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; followed by gunfire, but hey, it counts.) The other soldiers joined in the firefight as Scorponok dove under the sand to confuse them before impaling [[Sergeant Donnelly|Sgt. Donnelly]] and dragging him below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie_Scorponok_leapsout.jpg|left|thumb|150px|HUUUGZ!!!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Driving the soldiers into the village, Scorponok fired a barrage of missiles which destroyed the ruins that the village had grown around and critically injured [[Jorge Figueroa|Figueroa]]. Unfortunately for Scorponok, Lennox&#039;s distress call to the [[Pentagon]] had gotten through, and an MQ-1 Predator drone relayed images of the Decepticon to astonished US military commanders. They immediately sent two [[Popular alternate modes (vehicles)#A-10 Thunderbolt II|A-10 Thunderbolt II]]s to attack Scorponok to little effect, then followed up with an AC-130 Spectre gunship, which damaged Scorponok enough for him to dive back into the sand and escape, leaving his broken tail behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Scorponok hurt.JPG|right|thumb|150px|I&#039;m not having fun any more.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Scorponok&#039;s tail was transported back to the States. Lennox, Epps, and several other soldiers examined it en route, which lead to the discovery that the only damage the armor didn&#039;t either shrug off or quickly heal was the &amp;quot;6000-degree magnesium burn&amp;quot; of a sabot round.  Armed with this knowledge, the humans knew they now had a weapon that could hurt the invaders. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scorponok&#039;s current whereabouts, and what effect the death of his symbiotic partner Blackout will have, are unknown...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Titan Magazines===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...at least until [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and a team of US Special Forces went looking for him. (Captain Lennox was originally meant to oversee this mission but was reassigned) Hunting his hunters, Scorponok attacked Ironhide and took control of motor functions, having him rampage through the humans. Luckily one of them was able to sever the connection with a shot, and Ironhide smashed the Decepticon to pieces. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 8}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Blackout comes packed with a small silver figurine of Scorponok, who himself features a spring-loaded tail. He is usually stored in a cage on the rear of Blackout&#039;s helicopter mode. (Note: The spring in the figurine&#039;s tail is oriented not to spring the tail forward, but to help propel the figure out of the cage so that it lands right side up.) &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:This Voyager Class Blackout repaint, exclusive to the Japanese convenience store chain Lawson with the purchase of the movie DVD, came with a redeco of the small Scorponok figurine that came with the regular Voyager Class Blakcout, in metallic colors that better match the Deluxe Class Scorponok toy (and the movie CG design, of course).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:This redeco of the Voyager Class Blackout toy appears to be based on the same plastic color layout and paint mask as the Japanese Lawson exclusive &amp;quot;Version 4500X&amp;quot; redeco of Voyager Blackout, down to the improved paint on the Scorponok mini-figure. As a matter of fact, both toys might turn out to be outright &#039;&#039;identical&#039;&#039;, packging aside.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

====Deluxe Class toys====&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Scorponok&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe Class, 2007)&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MD-04&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Move_DeluxeScorponok_toy.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Ever notice every [[Scorponok]] has the same transformation?  Claws into claws, legs from the main body, tail sits behind, hoping to be ignored...]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Scorponok is a robotic scorpion superficially resembling a &#039;&#039;Zoids&#039;&#039; Death Stinger. His body is covered in military warning and command designation markings, suggesting he forms part of a larger military vehicle ([[Blackout (Movie)|hint, hint]]). Two wheels on the bottom of his beast mode, when pushed on a flat, smooth surface, rotate gears that cause the turbines in his body and the pincers on his arms to spin. His tail features a spring-loaded, yet non-launching stinger that extends when a latch is released.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In beast mode, Scorponok can combine with the underside of [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout&#039;s]] helicopter mode to exploit the larger Decepticon&#039;s own gear gimmick system. A geared shaft linked to Blackout&#039;s rotor mechanism connects to a geared peg on Scorponok&#039;s back. Thus, pressing the button on Blackout&#039;s tail not only rotates his blades, but also rotates Scorponok&#039;s pincers and the turbines in his body. (This can also be done with [[Evac (Movie)|Evac]] due to him being a retool of Blackout.) This gimmick can also be activated (more easily) by rotating the geared wheels on Scorponok&#039;s undercarriage instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Scorponok can transform into what might be &#039;&#039;charitably&#039;&#039; called a robot mode, but was most likely added as an afterthought to the design for added play value (and, possibly, so Hasbro could actually justify selling the toy as a &amp;quot;Transformer&amp;quot; by itself). In any case, this robot mode never appears in the movie, but does appear briefly in the Target-exclusive movie Prequel comic.  In fact, another way to transform him has surfaced online:  By turing the claws into feet, what would be the robot-mode-feet into hands, and making the tail into a face, you can create a different robot mode that is much better.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie_DecepticonDesertAttack_2pack.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Ignoring the vast difference in scale between Scorponok&#039;s two figures while linked to Blackout takes some imagination.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This package, based on their first appearance in the film, features an unchanged Voyager Blackout packaged with an unchanged Deluxe Scorponok, which was exclusively available at Toys &amp;quot;R&amp;quot; Us stores. Since Voyager Blackout was gang-molded with the miniature Scorponok figure the single release came with, this means that the set contains &#039;&#039;two&#039;&#039; Scorponok toys in different sizes.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Movie_Scorponok_headprop.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Now &#039;&#039;I&#039;m&#039;&#039; the [[Headmaster]]!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Real physical props of Scorponok&#039;s head and tail were made by ILM&#039;s crew for certain scenes, most notably Lennox and Epps&#039; examination of the tail leftovers on the plane.  The head prop was used in the close-up of Scorponok stalking the SOCCENT survivors.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.benprocter.com/SITEv2/HTML/PROJPAGE_Trans_08.html Ben Procter&#039;s portfolio, depicting CGI models and life-sized props for Scorponok]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* According to writer [[Roberto Orci]] on the official Transformers Movie board, [[Ravage]] was originally going to appear in the movie (back when Blackout was still supposed to be [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]])&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=234188&amp;amp;postcount=2008 Roberto Orci confirms that Ravage was replaced by Scorponok at the official movie boards]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, but was later changed to Scorponok when the setting of the opening scene was changed from jungle to desert.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=234188&amp;amp;postcount=2008 Roberto Orci confirms that Ravage would have appeared in a different terrain at the official movie boards]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Geturboshaftengine.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The Turboshaft engine that film Scorponok transforms from.  You can almost see the bits of [[Donnelly]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
* This also puts the lack of a &amp;quot;robot mode&amp;quot; into perspective, as it makes the scorpion mode the &#039;&#039;robot mode&#039;&#039; (in the same fashion Ravage&#039;s panther mode was the robot mode), whereas his &amp;quot;alternate mode&amp;quot; is actually a part of Blackout&#039;s engine: The center of his body appears to be made of a [[Wikipedia:General Electric T64|General Electric T64]] turboshaft engine, whereas according to his transformation/separation sequence in the movie, his forearms are made up of part of the side thrusters&#039; exhausts, and therefore &#039;&#039;also&#039;&#039; consist of parts of T64 engines (how this is is possible, considering an MH-53 Pave Low only features &#039;&#039;two&#039;&#039; T64 engines, is up to anyone&#039;s guess). Meanwhile, the various markings found on the CGI model&#039;s design, the life-sized props and Hasbro&#039;s Deluxe toy are taken from all kinds of places of Blackout&#039;s helicopter mode, most prominently the cockpit and the tail.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pavelow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.clubhyper.com/reference/mh53jreferencefr_1.htm Detail close-up photos of a real MH-53 Pave Low]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Some of those markings can also be found on props used for the scene which features the US Navy dumping the Decepticons&#039; remains into the ocean.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2006/10/pics-from-uss-shoup-of-transformer.html Behind the scenes photos taken aboard the USS Shoup, depicting props from the movie used for the screne which features the US Navy dumping the Decepticons&#039; remains into the ocean]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Considering Blackout didn&#039;t appear to be missing any integral parts of his alternate mode when answering [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy&#039;s]] call or during the final battle in [[Mission City]], one would suspect that either Scorponok reattached himself to Blackout after he escaped the US Air Force&#039;s counter-attack in Qatar (and was therefore part of Blackout during the final battle), or Blackout somehow magically regrew the parts that were previously made up by Scorponok. Furthermore, this raises the question whether Scorponok is actually supposed to be a fully-fledged character, or merely a &amp;quot;drone&amp;quot;. In the feature &amp;quot;From Script to Sand: The Skorponok Desert Attack&amp;quot; on the movie&#039;s bonus DVD, production designer [[Jeff Mann]] suggested that Scorponok was &amp;quot;birthed&amp;quot; from Blackout, thus suggesting that he might be more of an autonomous extension of Blackout himself, similar to [[Roller]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The movie novelization and the aforementioned feature on the movie&#039;s bonus DVD both spell his name &amp;quot;Skorponok&amp;quot;, probably yet another late production change. Meanwhile, in interviews, Michael Bay constantly refers to him as &amp;quot;Scorponox&amp;quot;, and a preorder listing for the movie score even uses the spelling &amp;quot;Skorpinok&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Steve-Jablonsky/dp/B000VFGQHK Amazon.com preorder for the movie score]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Come on, people! It&#039;s not like his name&#039;s Mxyzptlk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Speaking of real, the famous shot of Scorponok leaping from the sand after a trio of soldiers used in a lot of the promos? Scorponok is the &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; element of CGI in that shot. The sand-explosion behind the soldiers is real, caused by carefully timed explosives placed under the dunes, which certainly must have encouraged the actors to run like hell--the looks of fear on their faces are 100% genuine. The overwhelming majority of explosions, flying cars, and broken buildings in the movie are similarly real effects, not CGI.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Scorponok is the only Transformer in the movie whose name is not spoken or stated in any way. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Returning back to SOCCENT after a mission behind enemy lines, Lennox&#039;s men discussed what they were going to do once they got home to the States. As usual, [[Jorge Figueroa|Fig]] talked about his mom&#039;s cooking in Spanish, [[Robert Epps|Epps]] commented that he&#039;ll never accept a dinner invitation to Fig&#039;s house and [[Sergeant Donnelly|Donnelly]] reminisced about flat beer, cold hot dogs and baseball on weekends. When asked about what he wanted to do, Lennox replied that he only wanted to hold his baby girl for the first time, to which his men teased him for his sappy sentiment. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After their CV-22 Ospreys touched down, Lennox was writing a report when local boy [[Mahfouz]] visited him carrying a  bag of water. Soon afterwards, he talked to his wife Sarah and their daughter on the satellite video phone. Lennox declared that their daughter was so cute that he just wanted to chew on her cheeks, and that they both made one good looking kid. To his delight, Sarah told him their girl has his laugh, though he wondered if she had merely farted. Around the same time as a [[Blackout (Movie)|mysterious MH-53 Pave Low]] helicopter had landed on the base, his connection to Sarah became distorted, and he tried to tell her that he&#039;ll be home soon as the transmission was cut.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suddenly, the base was under attack as the helicopter somehow transformed into a giant robot. Leading his men and the boy Mahfouz, they witnessed Epps nearly being crushed by the weapons platform before Fig saves him by firing a sabot from his grenade launcher into the &#039;chest&#039; of the weapon. With Epps in tow, Lennox&#039;s unit escaped as the robot laid waste to SOCCENT, leaving no survivors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, after making their way through the desert, the men discussed the past night&#039;s events, with Epps expressing his belief that the weapon, whatever it was, looked right back at him as he was taking its photograph. Lennox determined that no matter what, they had to get the information back to [[the Pentagon]], and asked Mahfouz to lead them to his village where they could find a telephone line. Unknown to them, [[Scorponok (Movie)|a second robot]], a mechanical scorpion, was listening to their conversation and stalking them. As they neared the outskirts of the village, a metal spiked tail rose out of the sand and nearly killed Lennox when Epps fired at it, saving his life. Unfortunately, the giant scorpion killed top kick Donnelly and the men ran for their lives to relative cover of the village.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ordering the men to form a defensive perimeter, Lennox followed Mahfouz to his father [[Akram]]&#039;s house, the latter of whom provided him with a cell phone. As the others fought off Scorponok, Lennox attempted to call for help from the Pentagon, but had more than a little trouble with the operator who demanded a credit card despite the life-and-death situation he was in. After successfully searching for Epps&#039;s credit card in one of the latter&#039;s many back pockets, Lennox successfully contacted the Pentagon, but not before the operator tried to get him to sign onto a Premium Plus World Service Gold Package. He&#039;ll never use that company again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie_LennoxEpps_backpockets.jpg|right|thumb|250px|10: LEFT CHEEK!&lt;br /&gt;
20: GOTO 10]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pentagon sends in two A-10 Thunderbolt IIs from Strike Package Bravo, to which Lennox orders the men to laze the target for the the Air Force&#039; radars to lock onto and fire upon. Unfortunately, the A-10s do no appreciable damage to the metal scorpion with Epps expressing disbelief that it could still be alive. Lennox suggested the biggest barrels the Air Force has: the 105 millimeter cannons of AC-130 Spectre gunship. This is signaled with a shout of [[Bring the rain|&amp;quot;Bring the rain!&amp;quot;]], pounding Scorponok into the sand. As the dust settled, the scorpion got up and dived into the sand, but not before leaving part of its damaged tail behind. Lennox and Epps ran to check on Fig, who had been struck by one of the scorpion&#039;s missiles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En-route back to the America, the team studies the tail they salvaged from the battle scene. As the analyst described that it seemed to be covered in a [[Self-regenerating molecular armor]], Lennox pointed out where a sabot round had burned right through. Turning to Epps&#039;s expertise, he asked if it was correct that sabot rounds had a 6000 degree magnesium burn, to which Epps said was true. As Lennox ordered Epps to tell command to load sabot rounds on all their gunships, the tail suddenly came to life and narrowly missed impaling them. Epps angrily berated the analyst for telling them it was dead, Lennox ordered them to strap the tail down, while concluding that the technology behind it was &#039;wicked&#039;. Touching down at Nellis Air Force Base, no sooner had Lennox&#039;s men walked off the plane when [[Sector Seven|mysterious government agents]] pull up in black SUVs and order the Rangers to come with them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After arriving at [[Hoover Dam]], he and his unit meet with Secretary of Defense [[John Keller]], and are taken to see [[Megatron (Movie)|the Iceman]]. After the Iceman began to thaw, Lennox and his unit headed for the armory, where they had a special on forty mm sabot rounds. When [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]] asked [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]] to free [[Bumblebee (Movie)|a good robot]], Simmons refuses to listen, until Lennox gets him to cooperate by putting a gun to his chest, resulting in a Mexican standoff between his unit and Sector Seven. Simmons ordered him to release him, but Lennox told Simmons he and his men don&#039;t take orders from people who don&#039;t exist. They won the standoff. Losing is really not an option for those guys. Lennox and his men subsequently escort Sam and the car to [[Mission City]], meeting [[Autobot|other good robot]]s en route.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After arriving in Mission City, they were attacked by a [[Seeker|fighter jet]] which [[Ironhide (Movie)|some truck]] called &amp;quot;[[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]&amp;quot;. Later, [[Brawl (Movie)|a tank]] started shelling them, which the good robots totally triple teamed. Lennox and his men engaged the tank, but it just wouldn&#039;t die. Telling Sam to take the [[All Spark]] to a building to be evacuated, Lennox and his team engaged the tank thing, which began to overtake them. It was only with the help of the the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|the Camaro]] and [[Mikaela Banes|some girl]] that they were able to kill the thing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Lennox and his men went to assist [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] in his fight with Megatron. During the battle, that helicopter which attacked the base in Qatar arrived and went to help his boss. Lennox totally killed it dead by the time honored method of:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Getting on a motorcycle&lt;br /&gt;
* Jumping off the motorcycle as it slams into the enemy&lt;br /&gt;
* Sliding under his opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
* Shooting them in the [[gearbox]] with sabot rounds until they are dead.&lt;br /&gt;
* Going &amp;quot;woo-hoo&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;yee-ha&amp;quot;, or another exclamation of success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His final action in the battle of Mission City was to shoot a sabot round in the chest of Megatron, offering an opening to Sam to ram the All Spark in his chest, thus allowing the victory. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the deaths of the [[Decepticon]]s, [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] gave him a ride home, where he was reunited with his wife and met his newborn daughter. It is unknown if he planned to remain with Lennox.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie_Figueroa_cutscene.jpg|thumb|right|200px|By Grabthar&#039;s hammer, by the suns of Warvan, I shall avenge you!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A later scene where Lennox comforts the dying Figueroa was cut from the theatrical release of the film, but briefly seen in the December 2006 trailer.  The scene survived in both [[Transformers: The Movie (novel)|the novelization]] and the [[Transformers: The Junior Novel|children&#039;s novelization]] where (despite many changes made to tone down descriptions of violence against &#039;&#039;robots&#039;&#039;) he still died.  Go fig!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Early scripts give Lennox&#039;s rank as Sergeant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Lennox is given the nickname &amp;quot;Wild Bill&amp;quot; in the novelization. Whether this was a deliberate reference to the G.I.Joe character remains unknown. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Josh Duhamel&#039;s left foot was injured by a piece of fake shrapnel during filming.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Duhamel made fun of his minor injury during the Second Life Virtual Press Conference (the shrapnel was made of &#039;&#039;cork&#039;&#039; and it cut his &#039;&#039;pinky&#039;&#039;) explaining that he wasn&#039;t allowed to do his own stunts.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Movie_ScreenBattles_Sector7figures.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Hey! It&#039;s me! Lennox!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Transformers: The Movie (novel)|The novelization]] reveals that Lennox&#039;s daughter&#039;s name is Annabelle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The &#039;&#039;&#039;Capture of Bumblebee&#039;&#039;&#039; set from the &amp;quot;Screen Battles&amp;quot; packs features what appear to be two [[Sector Seven]] soldiers, but one of them is obviously Lennox painted in Sector Seven colors.&lt;br /&gt;
