Scorponok was high commander of the Decepticon forces on Cybertron in 1986, and was a rival of the Autobot Fortress Maximus. He was also the commander of the time-displaced Cyclonus and Scourge.
When the Autobot and his forces fled the war to the planet Nebulos, he and his forces followed, vowing to conquer the new planet. Upon reaching Nebulos, Scorponok manipulated and blackmailed the politician Lord Zarak into working for him and becoming his binary bonded Headmaster partner. This would affect him dramatically, however, and resulted in the alteration of both his and Zarak's personalities.
When Galen decided to leave Nebulos for Earth, Scorponok and his forces again followed, leaving the war-torn Nebulos behind. Due to the fractured Decepticon forces on Earth, Scorponok had to vie for command of the Decepticon forces against Ratbat, Shockwave, and Starscream. By the end of the Underbase crisis, however, Scorponok's command of the Decepticons was assured.
In 1988, Scorponok made history as Optimus Prime formally offered his surrender in hopes of making a new force to combat the Dark God Unicron. Eventually, Scorponok agreed to help the Autobots and was brought by Primus to Cybertron to prepare for the ultimate battle.
Scorponok met his fate in this battle as he sacrificed himself to rally his forces against Unicron. In his last few moments, Scorponok realized the nobility of Optimus Prime, and hoped that his sacrifice would redeem him.

Scorponok was a gigantic Headmaster robot built by Lord Zarak, the dictator of Nebulos, upon learning of the Transformers.

Headmasters (Japan)
Voice actor: Banjô Ginga
The Japanese Headmasters series diverged from Rebirth greatly. In this series, Zarak was one of a group who left Cybertron long ago. In the present day, Zarak led his group of Decepticon Headmasters from his spacecraft, which could transform into the larger Scorponok body.
