I would give you thumb but you have 69

From Decepticon Headmaster to Predacon to Terrorcon to ordinary Decepticon to the last Scorponok; he's certainly been under a lot of faction names.

And he is Not a Dinobot!

And he got a strange incarnation in the first movie (2007) as a police truck who has a similar in proportions robot mode like ironhide did and is almost the same size as prime

That you Skylynx?

Typhon Tattoo, I can nether confirm nor deny it

I agreed

I liked the way Energon Skorponok was presented in the Dreamwave comic. He blasted Starscream with a nearly fatal blow and had the balls to go toe to toe with a newly emerged Megatron. He gave Megatron a good fight, but was defeated in the end. That was one of the best comics I ever read

I agree, Skorponok was the highlight of Energon for me, I loved his design and his character arc

reynaldi Pangestu Headmaster memelords: FORTRESS MAXIMUS HAS CUM HIMSELF

Headmaster memelords: It’s free real estate.

Wish more versions of Scorponok were written closer to that. Weirdly enough the closest Scorponok ever got to having this characterization again was probably Energon. This is pretty unfortunate because while Scorponok was one of the better-written characters in the show, the negative reputation of TF Energon, makes it so any element of it is unlikely to persist.

Same, even as a kid I took note of the fact that he was the only Decepticon leader who would, at least internally, give Optimus Prime the benefit of a doubt when Prime approached the Decepticons about a mutual threat, an observation which probably didn't escape Prime either since he's the one he surrendered the Autobots to after Unicron showed up.

I think someone has written a fanfic about Marvel Comics Zarak during his death scene on FF.Net. Believed it’s called ‘His Dying Seconds’ from my recollection.

Yeah, the Marvel Comics were what made Scorponok one of my favorite Decepticons of all time. Kinda wish he had more fictional appearances though... If I ever get the opportunity to write an official Transformers story, I have big plans for Scorponok. Actually writing a (fan) story right now (literally as I listen to this) that heavily features him. He's like Marvel Scorponok mixed with the intelligence of Thrawn from Star Wars. Seemed like a fun combination in concept, and it still is.

I remember Optimus taking a moment to mourn his death. I had a sad at that.

Now I wish some iteration of Scorponok actually said that while pulling an Autobot forwards with his tail.

No no it’s okay

Scorpion wins

Scorponok wins! Fatality.

You deserve 69 likes ©

His lines in the Headmasters dub were god tier quality, too. *"FORTRESS MAXIMUS HAS COME HIMSELF!"*

Marvel Scorponok > all other Scorponoks.

Banana

Agreed, Budiansky made him a smart, calculating villain where Furman developed the character making him honourable. There isn't too many Decepticon leaders that had an arc like Scorponok's that had trouble keeping his troops on side. The intrigue was more complex than the usual Starscream shooting Megatron in the back type storylines. It was amazing writing by Furman.

Mister Bad Guy Technically, the Scorponok in Regeneration One was just a duplicate with Scorponok's former personality, before his bonding with Zarak. But I do agree that it undoes his character development.

Huh, what is it with Transformers characters who nobly sacrificed themselves being revived or reanimated as a mindless version of their former selves. G1 Optimus Prime (Dark Awakening) Beast Wars Dino Bot Armada Starscream Energon Scorponok and Marvel Scorponok too.

@@R0-83-RT Technically, Dinobot II was just a clone of Dinobot, without his spark or memories. In Nemesis, Part 2, it may have been the spark of the original Dinobot that was influencing Dinobot II after Rampage's death.

@@charliedixon4465 I know, but it still does follow the same pattern.

@R0-83-RT I agree. Dinobot II was originally planned to be a regeneration of the original Dinobot, as hinted by his toy's bio.

I like your profile pic for some reason...

@@protostar8790 Same to you, York.

Thanks indirectly to Scorponok, Optimus was able to kill The Fallen.

@@Big_E_Soul_Fragment The +force+ has clearly united us here on this comment section, dedicated to an evil robotic scorpion Exeter. To believe otherwise is folly.

I love the original 07 toy of That design

Jonathon Worner At least the toys transform. Something Scorponok never did in the movies.

I have the deluxe class version and barely transform it because that robot mode is more like a half-baked fan mode. Giving it an ape-like stance makes it look a _bit_ better but only just. Overall I think the toy is better as a Zoid than a Transformer. Mind you the legends class version did look better in both modes and scales alright with the Voyager Blackout.

I had the tiny version, and it broke.

@@originaluddite Scorponok remade into Death Stinger

@@garthdavis4320 Actually Scorponok did transform in the movies once. From a part of Blackout's helicopter mode into Scorpion mode.

I feel ya. Got mine at a garage sale way back in the 90s, and was missing everything. Still have him despite the ravages of time eating away at his screws.

the saddest story I've ever heard

The last line spoken in part 2 of "The Rebirth" when Scorponok rose from the underground city IIRC

@@Sandrock313 that is correct. He was even described awesomely in the next episode. Victor Caroli:Zarak, evil leader of the Nebulon Hive had just succeeded in turning the Hive's entire city into a new Decepticon Super Robot, the most powerful ever created.

PREPAER ROR YER DEAF TODAY YER GONNAH DAI!

"AUTOBOT...DIE!!!!!!"

@@mitchfletcher2386 I like the g1, animated ,unicorn trilogy and the Netflix trilogy of scorponok I think in my own transformers universe scorponok was a Innocent cybertronian from a another planet until he was enslaved and tortured and forced to bow to the quintesson alpha and they destroyed his people 25 years when the autobots and decepticons found scorponok in a abandoned quintessons (ship which he'd killed its crew) scorponok mistaken the autobots and decepticons as suffices to the quintesson so he almost destroyed them until optimus prime and megatron kicked him and thrown 5 grenades at him letting him to float in space. 6 millions years later after the autobot and decepticon war came to an end so did the end of quintessons, the human character named porter C. Powell once a CEO of his company Powell motorwolks and boss of sumdac robotic Industries (until the autobots and sari resuce isaac sumdac from the decepticons) and was about to be elected as mayor of Detroit until he was defeated by the junkion transformer Wreck gar. Now broke and now had to work at a low paid diner. He suddenly came to face to scorponok when he was Buried in lake in Canada. He help scorponok and rebuilt him into a headmaster (which porter stole Henry Masterson blueprints when he'd died) and together they seek revenge on there enemies and recruited decepticons to become headmasters, targetmasters, and powermaster as a small but powerful army.

Chazzy seing you here.

It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it...

Korbin Hranac 😏

Except when you use it for intimidation.

Its based on the originsl toy. Its a but sad lol

Marvel Shockwave.

One's too big to be a leader, the other's too small. :P

@@originaluddite Scorponok- Ridley of Transformers

My favorite probably being Bludgeon.

I agree and how could he mention Beast Wars Scorponok without mentioning the aggression virus he developed.

Well, I guess that's why he was second in command.

CelticVictory the aggression virus was supposed to be a cowardice virus. Seems to me that doing the exact opposite of what was intended doesn’t speak well to Scorpie’s competence. Also the Cyber-bees really only came up once or twice.

@@magnusprime962 Doesnt matter. It still damaged the Maximals and nearly killed Optimus.

If he was in a video game, he’d be cheap shooting you like the shot gunners in Doom I & II and make you toss your controller at a wall.

*Fortress Maximus has come himself*

*OK then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me huh huh huh huh*

It's notable that he was Megatron's ONLY truly loyal soldier before Inferno's arrival. Tarantulas was a king of scheming, Blackarachnia was his understudy per se, Terrorsaur had Starscream-esque delusions of grandeur, and Waspinator was only loyal out of fear. It's impressive he was even able to do the stuff with his cyberbees given that even Waspinator could outwit him, haha.

@023 Studios you transformed into a ball and you're in a chair above the ground so that counts!!

Pandinus and it’s been out for a few years

The Maketoys version does seem really awesome. I want one, but Melania says it's too expensive....

Got it for a steal..good find

Well, Beast Wars Scorponok apparently used to be a six-wheeled car. That probably counts.

Scarlet Rain It was his first (and last) appearance in the series.

That's Quickstrike from "Beast Wars" - a different guy, but a much more fun one than BW Scorponok was if you ask me!

@@ChrisMcFeely Quickstrike was more of a mindless goon than Scorponok. The latter could be his own brand of crafty when he wanted to be.

A headmaster city bot, that Transformed into a giant scorpion. On top of all of that Socrponok was actually smart enough to be a Leader. Yeah, a really cool combo for sure.
