- Scorponok is a Decepticon from the live-action Transformers movie continuity family.
Scorponok is a small transformer with a symbiotic connection to Blackout. Barely sentient, his main drives are to hunt, destroy, and hunt some more. Since he can tunnel underground with frightening speed, he's incredibly good at ambush attacks.

- Scorponok (Deluxe, 2007)
- Japanese ID number: MD-04
- 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. He is usually stored in a cage on the rear of Blackout's helicopter mode.
- Decepticon Desert Attack (multi-pack, 2007)
- An unchanged Deluxe Scorponok is packaged with a similarly unaltered Voyager Blackout (which also includes Blackout's mini-Scorponok) in this package, which will be available only at Toys R Us.

Trivia
- According to writer Roberto Orci on the official Transformers Movie board, Ravage was originally going to appear in the movie, but was later changed to Scorponok when the setting of the scenes changed.
