Talk:Scorponok (Movie)

Now that Scorponok's on the Game website, any of you flash diggers think you can fish out his CG art? I think it'd make a good image for the this entry. --Terrocon Blot 08:56, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

There's more than one of us?

(I'll see what I can do, they're buried in a resource file somewhere I wasn't able to find...) -Derik 09:26, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

And apparently I like,d it was the Lunchables site that hid things in resource files- they're right there for the taking on Transformersgame.com. -Derik 09:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I've noticed in one of the latest TV spots that Scorponok is only around 8-10 feet long. Should this be mentioned in the article? ...seeing as how wiki's work by the "truth by consensus" principal.

He appears as a Zord in Power Rangers?

No, somebody put that as joke.

So he turns into the helicopter's engine right? I always did wonder about that. - Bumblejumper 22:49, 4 November 2013 (EST)

Scorponok - individual character, symbiont or drone?

I just added some details to the trivia sections regarding what parts of Blackout's alternate mode Blackout consists of, and how Jeff Mann described Scorponok as being "birthed" from Blackout. Can we say for sure whether he is a character of his own, rather than being to Blackout what Roller is to G1 Prime?--Nevermore 19:14, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I personally saw him as more like what the animal-form cassettes are to G1 Soundwave, rather than a simple drone like Roller. --Nightshade83 19:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I have always considered Skorponok as an individual character, though more of an animal than any of the others in the movie. Simply Blackout’s pet, but not a drone of any kind. -- Guest 16:00, 19 February 2008

One thing I'm curious about: One of the documentaries on the second DVD of Transformers states that Scorponok's alternate mode is actually the engine of Blackout's helicopter mode. If so, did Scorponok actually survive, or, given that Blackout dies shortly after transforming from copter to robot, did he die with Blackout when the larger robot was destroyed? --IMAGinES 07:33, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Robot mode mainpic

I'm probably the minority, but I think his robot mode should be used for his mainpic. - Starfield 11:08, 18 July 2009 (EDT)

His real robot-mode is his scorpion mode Dead Metal 11:17, 18 July 2009 (EDT)

So his alternate mode is a bipedal humanoid? Interesting theory. - Starfield 11:35, 18 July 2009 (EDT)

Actualy, his main alternate mode in the movie is blackout's engine, his robot mode is only used in a flash game and in a comic. Besides, if his main mainpic was of the robot mode, it can only be the toy or an image from the comic.--Sunjumper 12:41, 18 July 2009 (EDT)

robot or plane or scorpion?

DOES he actually HAVE a robot/altmode? or is he IN robot mode as a scorpion? Also, I heard he transforms into a Predator drone aircraft...--Keepcalm&rollout (talk) 21:25, 23 November 2013 (EST)

His Deluxe Class toys have a scorpion standing up mode a robot mode, but his alt mode in the movie is apparently as Blackout's helicopter engine thingies. The Predator aircraft mode is likely another one of those dime-a-dozen movie rumors. --Inkblot (talk) 21:54, 23 November 2013 (EST)

His robot mode has only ever appeared once in the fiction. --Sabrblade (talk) 23:22, 23 November 2013 (EST)

Scorponok leadership thing seems to be accidental false information

TFU.info Screen Battles Desert Attack bio: http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/ScreenBattlesScorponok/scorponok.htm

Actual Screen Battles Desert Attack bio: http://tftechspecs.com/pics1/11392.jpg

The Starscream bio TFU.info seems to be confusing the Scorponok one with: http://tftechspecs.com/pics1/11511.jpg

So, it is a mistake.--Primestar3 (talk) 20:36, 25 October 2020 (EDT)

Have you heard of a trope called "Informed Attribute"? FigureGunplaFan (talk) 21:22, 25 October 2020 (EDT)

You misunderstand. I am saying that someone on this wiki took a bio that didn't officially exist and mentioned it in this article. Leadership bio isn't official. It doesn't matter anymore anyway, I deleted it from the page.--Primestar3 (talk) 21:31, 25 October 2020 (EDT)

RIse of The Beasts

I've recently redirected Scorponok (ROTB) to Scorponok (Movie). Just like with Dino and Que, until a toy bio or at least a web description for him isn't released I don't see why they should be in separate pages. Also, I'd like to point out that the 2007 version of the character in terms of physical appearence and low-ranking role isn't so far from the Beast Wars Predacon. I propose we could just wait and see what are Hasbro and/or Paramount plans for him. If he'll appear in ROTB with no relations to Blackout or the other movies then yes, he's a separate character who shares his name with another one in the same continuity. But if he's going to be just an addition to the toyline (with no bio which clarifies his identity) then it won't be so different from the Cyberverse DOTM Hot Rod toy in the same page of TLK Hot Rod or PSP 2007 Movie Hound in AOE Hound's one. They had different conceptual origins but we merged them for semplicity and barely relevant differences right? - --Grievous Prime (talk) 21:13, 14 March 2023 (EDT)

They went out of their way to identify ROTB Scorponok as "Predacon Scorponok", which is what they did to establish that version of Scorponok as not the other guy in WFC. The examples you're throwing out didn't have "different conceptual origins"; they're still based on the same G1 characters, just taken in different directions and done separately.
