Okay, I know I'm hardly an expert, but come on... is it so hard to believe that BW Scorponok can be named Scorponok and have a scorpion alt-mode before the Beast Wars? Maybe he named himself after the ol' Headmaster, or based his alt-mode on that ferocious form. I mean, Megatron called himself Megatron, didn't he? Same idea.

I'm not sure there's anything in the article that suggests his name being Scorponok pre-BW IS so hard to believe. So colored me confused. --ItsWalky 01:16, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, there's the picture caption of his exclusive comic iteration. It says 'Look at him... he was probably called Scorponok before the Beast Wars' or something, which to the casual reader (and I know there are only a few of those) would appear to be serious criticism. Plus I know you yourself had a separate figure painted up to look more like a pre-BW Scorpy (awesome, by the by), and I just figured there was some kind of perceived problem with it. Um, by the way, Walkyguy, since I'm new and useless... how do I identify myself on talk pages?

I think it's a reference to the fact that in that particular comic, most of the BW cast seems to take their BW names only after getting their beastly alt modes. - Dark T Zeratul 07:50, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Transformation

I think it's unfair to say this Scorponok has the same transformation as all the others. There's a significant difference here.. the legs fold out from the body, and are nice and long and slender and jointed.. the scorpion body then folds in half, with the legs being attached as 'ribs' instead of on the legs boringly. The only similar part is how the tail and claws don't go anywhere...

Scorponok wasn't all that dumb. And he certainly was never outwitted by Waspinator.

Main Pic SUCKS

Isn't there some sort of rule about bad images. As in the're NOT ALLOWED? The Big Q 20:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

The hell? There's nothing wrong with the main pic. --74.57.3.251 20:57, 17 March 2008 (UTC) (Detour at work)
