Scorponok
Beast Mode
Realistic looking scorpion which resembles the one in the show.
The body is mainly black and red. The claws and the tip of the stinger
are metallic blue in colour. The tip of the stinger has a bit of red
on the tip of it. Blood? I dunno.
All three weapons, the stinger, the missiles and the cyber-bee, can be
used in this mode. The tail can move in a stinging fashion through a
system of gears.
And hey, hey, he can actually sting something other than his own head!
The robot thighs can be seen, but is actually part of the scorpion and
the robot feet form the scorpion's head.
Robot mode
Transformation is simple, only the legs tend to pop off during transformation.
Stands pretty stably, except that the legs are kinda loose because the ball
joint is not totally covered. The scorpion back forms the robot body.
The scorpion legs form the "ribs" of the robot. All the weapons can also be
used. The double missiles can be fired once at a time or both at time.
However the spring is quite sensitive, so take care not to shoot them anywhere
cos' I've heard stories about people actually firing them and losing them.
The cyber-bee is cool, it converts automatically when shot out. But the springs
are sensitive (again), and the wings of the bee tend to open if you don't
close it tightly. It fires about a distance of 50 cm. The bee forms the upper claw
on his right claw in robot mode. The tail cannot sting anything in this mode
except the air. The robot mode has a strong resemblance to the one shown in
the show. He has a mutant mask, which is two pieces on both sides of his face
which slide in front to form a mask. And it's actually nice. Simple transformation,
cool gimmicks, this guy rocks!
