- Scorpulator is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Scorpulator matches his partner Devastator perfectly. Both are near-mindless engines of destruction who wade into the thick of battle, attacking without reason or any strategy more complicated than "destroy everything". Be it with claws, lasers or acid, Scorpulator lives to fight.
Toys
Generation 1
- Devastator with Scorpulator (Action Master, 1990)
- Scorpulator is a robotic scorpion. His tail features a peg-hole that allows any normal Action Master gun to be mounted there, though the tail tends to droop even without the extra weight of another gun. Pushing a trigger on his body flips his head and a chunk of his inner body around via a spring-loaded mechanism, revealing a (non-firing) blaster. Folding his claws up forms his "acid spray gun" mode, which can be used by any regular Action Master figure. His gun barrel can be extended by attaching the handgun from any carded Action Master.
- Scorpulator's legs are a completely separate "block" piece held onto his main body only by plastic peg. This peg is about the same size as the standard Action Master "backpack" peg, letting his legs act in that capacity while he's in cannon mode.
Notes
- In Dreamwave's More Than Meets The Eye profile series, every Action Master partner robot profiled was retroactively given the "Targetmaster" classification, though the partners to characters who had previous, non-Action Master toys (like Devastator) were omitted from the books' lineup. However, the across-the-board application of the Targetmaster term for those that did appear makes a pretty clear inference that all of the Action Master partner-bots are Targetmasters... at least, as far as the Dreamwave universe is concerned.
