Scorponok is a Decepticon from the Aligned continuity family.
"Miserea cordia!"

To call Scorponok "gruff" is an understatement. This snarling, scowling scorpion has an excessively short temper, and the brawn to back up any threats he makes. And with a deadly stinger-tail in either mode, any bot who doesn't fall into line falls offline.

Lord Frieza, I really need to use the Space-Skype.

On Cybertron, Scorponok terrorized outlying communities largely outside the reach of the law, often tearing them down for simple enjoyment. Misdirection He was eventually arrested and placed in a stasis pod aboard the Alchemor. After the ship crashed on Earth, Scorponok was one of three prisoners, alongside Glowstrike and Saberhorn, who organized the freed Decepticons into a militia and overthrew their Mini-Con prison guards, enslaving them. Decepticon Island (Part 1) From there, they sent members of the group out to scavenge materials Metal Meltdown needed to get the Alchemor spaceworthy. Decepticon Island (Part 1)

Scorponok and Glowstrike were unimpressed with Saberhorn's recent failure nor Kickback's work. As Glowstrike grouched, Scorponok noted they were stuck with the minions they had, when they were suddenly approached by Steeljaw, who had followed Kickback home. Metal Meltdown

I have no pincers.

Promised a group of elite warriors by Steeljaw, Scorponok and with his Mini-Cons Bludgeon and Clout arrived at the designated meeting place, soon joined by Crazybolt and Slicedice. The surly Scorponok was swiftly irritated by the pair's tardiness and their need for speed, not helped by Steeljaw's absence... not realizing that Steeljaw had set them up to get attacked by the Autobots (as a distraction for his own ends, and not caring whether Scorponok felled the Autobots or vice versa). His mood worsened as Crazybolt spouted his nonsensical maxim, but before he start an altercation with him, the Autobots attacked.

Hey, I'm not a city in this continuity, so don't stand on me!

Scorponok traded blows with Grimlock, being unimpressed with the Dinobot's combat skills, and soon got the upper claw on Grimlock, forcing Bumblebee to back off. The Autobot lieutenant distracted the Decepticon intimidater by claiming he knew of Steeljaw's desire to take Earth for himself, for its apparent magic. Bumblebee then used a little flim-flam to distract and confuse the Decepticons, setting them up for him and Grimlock to take them down. All five were captured and sealed in stasis pods. Steeljaw later fabricated a story that led Glowstrike to believe Scorponok betrayed the cause. Misdirection

After Toolbox explained Scorponok and the other's rise to control of the crashed section of the Alchemor, Drift suggested that they work quickly to apprehend the trio, though Bumblebee pointed out that Scorponok had already been captured. Decepticon Island (Part 1) Scorponok's stasis pod was later taken back to Cybertron by Optimus Prime, Windblade and Ratchet. Decepticon Island (Part 2)

Yeah, I don't transform the same way every other Scorponok ever does. You got a problem with that? (Hasbro version pictured)
(Takaratomy version pictured)
  • Scorponok (Warrior Class, 2016)
  • TakaraTomy ID number: TAV54
  • TakaraTomy release date: August 28, 2016
  • Accessories: Knife/stinger
Part of the seventh wave of Hasbro's Robots in Disguise Warrior Class toys, Scorponok transforms from a robot into a scorpion and back again! He retains the basic transformation scheme of most Scorponok iterations, but with at least some unique tweaks to make him stand out amongst them, like his giant scorpion-claws actually sliding up to form his shoulder armor rather than just being his robot-mode "hands". His scorpion head also has an articulated jaw with attached pedipalps.
He includes a scimitar weapon which he can hold in his hand or plug into the tip of his tail as a sort of stinger weapon, though his tail has a show-accurate articulated stinger already molded in its tip.
The TakaraTomy Adventure version, released in the eighteenth wave of product, has a far more screen-accurate deco. Aside from being cast in dark brown and gold plastic instead of orange and gray, he has much more extensive paint applications, adding in all his show model's olive-green, golden face, and gold stripes on the arms.
This mold was also used to make Paralon.
