- Scorponok is a robotic scorpion superficially resembling a Zoids Death Stinger. His body is covered in military warning and command designation markings, suggesting he forms part of a larger military vehicle (hint, hint). Two wheels on the bottom of his beast mode, when pushed on a flat, smooth surface, rotates gears that causes the turbines in his body and the pincers on his arms to spin. His tail features a spring-loaded, yet non-launching stinger that extends when a latch is released.
- In beast mode, Scorponok can combine with the underside of Blackout's helicopter mode to exploit the larger Decepticon's own gear gimmick system. A geared shaft linked to Blackout's rotor mechanism connects to a geared peg on Scorponok's back. Thus, pressing the button on Blackout's tail not only rotates his blades, but also rotates Scorponok's pincers and the turbines in his body.
- Scorponok can transform into what might be charitably called a robot mode, but was most likely added as an afterthought to the design, perhaps for added play-value. In any case, this robot mode never appears in the movie.
- Blackout (Voyager, 2007)
- Japanese ID number: MD-01
- Blackout comes packed with a small silver figurine of Scorponok, who himself features a spring-loaded tail.
