2007 MOVIE DELUXE SCORPONOK

This figure came out in 2007. He is a Decepticon. I am not sure if he is a proper Transformer because I think he might be more of a drone. In the movie Scorponok is almost like a pet to Blackout. He is programmed to hunt down and eliminate anything that survived Blackouts attack.

FUNCTION; Hunter

MOTTO; Unknown

TECH SPEC; Scorponok is what other Transformers would even call alive. His core programming is only a tiny bit more complex than pure instinct. In most things, he acts almost entirely as an animal. He never speaks and lives only to hunt and destroy. Unlike most of his fellow robots he prefers his alternate mode with its energised stinger and drill  claws to his robot mode. Capable of drilling through solid earth at nearly eighty miles per hour. He can be a terrifying opponent as he springs suddenly upon his target in a shower of dirt from the ground.

SPEC; Strength 5, Intelligence 2, Speed 6, Endurance 8, Rank 3, Courage 6, Fire blast 5, Skill 3

He is a uniquely designed figure. His robot mode is not much to look at and neither is the transformation so it is the scorpion mode that this toy is all about. His scorpion mode is quite a good representation of him from the movie but the colour is wrong on the figure as in the movie he was grey but the figure is gold and silver.
He has some writing on him in certain areas. On his claws it says " "danger "with an arrow pointing towards his claws. On the other side it says "keep away". On either side if his Decepticon  insignia  it says "no step". On the panels that his legs are attached to it says " "Rescue" and then 0360. He also has " Caution Fuel Explosives" written on his ears.
All the random words on him make me think maybe he is made out of different parts of scrap for a scrap yard. Maybe the all spark brought some of the scrap to life in the shape of a scorpion. That's my theory on how he was created.
He is a very good figure with lots of gimmicks. When you roll him along the floor his claws spin and also a drill in the middle of his body spins
There is a trigger on his tail which when pressed the fork in his tail shoots forward like it is going to sting something.

Definatly one for the collection.
