Ranking Every SCORPONOK Design (w/Vangelus )

[@MrTragedious986]

Scorponok is a very interesting case, he’s either a robot scorpion or a character at times. But I like when he has a personality.

[@jerichogarry]

The live action Michael Bay version of him is what introduced me to the character, but I was first introduced to transformers in the Beast Wars Trilogy back when it was still on TV which was when I was 4 years old.

[@dudemcduder1628]

God Skorponok in Transformers 2007 left such an impact on me from how terrifying he is

[@ultra_marcus]

For me ER Scorponock was peak War For Cybertron. I'm a big Zarak fan, so I really enjoyed your list

[@MattAutoMotive]

18:19 there's the thing Scorponok does actually turn into one of Blackout's engines. But knowing that makes you wonder how is Blackout even meant to use his vehicle form as it would be useless to him because he's missing an engine.

[@steliosstanis2125]

it's probably a bit excessive.

[@MattAutoMotive]

@@steliosstanis2125 like what having 2 engines? To be fair I don't know how the Sea stallion works as I know more about cars than aircraft I mean one of the engines could be to power the main rotor and the other engine to operate the tail rotor I don't know, what I do know is if a vehicle is meant to have 2 engines it can't function with one missing. There's an old modified Audi TT I know of for example it's all wheel drive but it has 2 engines which the TT only has one engine in the front powering all 4 wheels, however in this one I'm talking about the 400 horsepower engine drives the front wheels and the back wheels are powered by another 400 horsepower engine in the back, and I don't think it can function with the 2nd engine missing.

[@twister107]

That’s the thing, he doesn’t. Thats why Blackout was so late to the final battle. He had to wait to regroup with Scorponok before he could transform

[@PLZSUBKRAEB2VAL]

Do transformers even use their engines?

[@ShadowSeeker-1]

I think movie Scorponok definitely should have had a physical transformation on Blackout but I also agree with Comodin I think the partnership Scorponok has with Blackout is interesting because instead of simply making him a regular Decepticon they made him a minicon instead like Soundwave's cassettes

[@christianmanka3884]

I adore the 2007 Scorponok toy. One of my favorites I’ve ever owned.

[@transformandgobricks7820]

My favorite Scorponok is his Beast Wars incarnation! He was so funny and kinda adorable. Too bad he was done so dirty in the very first episode of season 2 of Beast Wars.

[@tsu_kiyomi]

I personally REALLY love Energon Scorponok. He looked like an actual walking tank with a probably nasty punch.

[@bthsr7113]

Oh yeah, absolute UNIT who will mess you up. I also liked the cockpit on the tail.

[@timetravlin4450]

Personally I like it the best. A triple changer and a better head sculpt in my opinion.

[@calvinstraveldreams]

I love Energon Scorponok and really wish he appeared in Cybertron as Dark Scorponok-and that a 3rd party company like FansHobby could make an MP version of the design (complete with the leg guns from the show CGI model-and a Dark Scorponok redeco/retool). Though I do also think that the design should have been one size class (or perhaps even two size classes) larger (think Leader or even Supreme rather than Ultra) to better match the intent of the design.

[@jupiter5673]

My favorite design for the live action movies would have to be his ROTB rendition, but my overall favorite has to be the G1/Earthrise Scorponok design

[@LiamDyC]

My favorite Scorponok incarnations are the ones from the first two Michael Bay films (the version that introduced me to Scorponok as a character, complete with a badass theme in the first film) and _Rise of the Beasts_ (I recently got the Studio Series figure of _Rise of the Beasts_ Scorponok from my local Walmart).

[@justinthewarrior9165]

You know when I was a kid? I love scorpions like they're one of my favorites. When I was a kid, I would go to camping place and in the rocks had like dozens of scorpions and I would Catch them and and release them when we're done with them. They were a lot in Hawaii. Well, I came from and every time I see a transformer scorpion. I always love it

[@tanman2000]

Actually, movie Scorponok DID turn into parts of Blackout's helicopter mode! The "caution" labels are from the helicopter parts.

[@steliosstanis2125]

My Best Scorponok Design is from TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE and TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS. I like Scorponok as Large Mechanical Scorpion (24:24) to transform a Monstrous Robot with Scorpion Tail (25:30).

[@bthsr7113]

While he may just be an evil robo scorpion, '07 Scorpy is a very effectively communicated alien evil robo scorpion. Agreed on him needing an alt mode, but his scorpion mode is quite nice.

[@Cole-g2m]

At 4:50 I like to think that Black Zarak is Zarak's ansister

[@ultra_marcus]

Me too.

[@burnttoaster7425]

Big bias for micheal bay scorpionok cause i remember playing with it in a sandbox in my childhood

[@wcapewell3089]

The '07 scorponok was my first interaction with the character. Other than that, I'd only seen him in angry birds before this video.

[@mogooviejake]

I have played the RID game way more than a sane person would, and no where did I see it say that bot was scorponok . Splendid

[@harrishyatt6283]

my favorite scorponok designs are the g1 cartoon, beast wars cartoon, tf1 design, the rotf stalker design, the rotb design, the beast weaponizers toy, and the studio series toy

[@pramusetyakanca1552]

I take solace in knowing I’m not the only RiD 2015 Decepticon enjoyer, those designs really were what I came for when I watched the show

[@springfnafreviews7476]

It's such a shame we never got the concept robot designs for rotb scorponok in the movie

[@kirb2electric]

There's the studio series version

[@ltrstudios5373]

Honestly, energon scorpanok is one if my holy grails since its one of the only transformers i had when i was really young. Looking back, it wasnt that great if a design, but i still want that toy.

[@genesismultiverse4896]

Really it's weird Megatron doesn't give more positivity to skorponok even tho he is his most loyal soldier

[@jedijam91]

In defense of the 07 legends class, it has the best robot mode of the 07 design. (If only the stinger was made of sturdier plastic)

[@thehandsomeone8369]

My introduction to Skorponok (and transformers in general) was Beast Wars. It’s crazy to learn he was part of the OG Transformers series.

[@DanyBlue]

Maybe I'll be unoriginal, but For the next video of this series will be interesting see Dinobot, Blackaracnia or Waspinator I think these 3 was the most iconic and memorable in Beast Wars series, amd even thei others incarnation in others tv show, comics etc are cool (some more, some less)

[@horezgeno6763]

My headcanon for Wfc Scorponok is that he had give himself to become living defence system of Darksyde with mass of drones under his control

[@nick-zn2hu]

2007 scorponok is the best because on cybertron he was always left behind on purpose because he can blend in to the surroundings and he will always kill stragglers off and when he attacks he will be able to quickly hide again basically what I’m trying to say is that he does hit and run tactics

[@TheLeftCollectiveTLC-sb9zf]

12:26 I disagree , I love the Energon version

[@AgtShadowWalker]

One of the things I really like about Scorponok is that he exists (and can work) in basically every size class (G1 Titan, Beast Wars standard, and the movie's minicon)

[@savagefoxgames]

07' scorpinok is the engine of blackouts alt mode

[@JaredRmz]

2007's Blackout does become part of blackout though, he's supposed to be an engine or part of the engine, but I can see why hasbro did not chose to give him that alt mode. It'd be too hard to make him accurate for a smaller scale when packaged with blackout; and probably too boring for kids if released as a single deluxe release

[@Juassicparktrex1]

The 07 scorponok does transform into a engine for black out

[@Wing-Zero-si1eu]

I always love how he serves as Blackout’s pet. Really wicked!

1:50 thanks for accepting one of my tiers.

[@wrath7646]

I was hoping for the random screaming noises would be added as one of the tiers

[@BigGrim78]

G1 Scorponok for me. I loved the original toy. Good Christmas that one. He was just a superb character in the comics. Had to get the Titan. What a figure! Gotta say, I DO like the RiD version. What a fantastic redesign. Never got the figure, though I do like the Takara Tomy deco.

[@mkcstealth7624]

My older brother had a G1 Scorponok toy and it was super cool. I only ever got the little one that came with the Blackout figure from the 2007 live action film

[@bdrive5663]

It just occurred to me that all the Scorponoks in Rise of the Beasts are all different colors like they are a race of Cybertronians all to their own. And they are a terrorcon swarm coming from Unicron to restore him. so in a way it's a nod to the generic troop beast like Terrorcons from Transformers Energon. Was it intentional? probably not but it surprisingly matches up.

[@duhmonke]

Energon scorponok was so rad. Got it as a kid and loved the triple transformation.

[@craider45]

I know it's not Scorponok but I kinda wish Paralon from RID15 would have been included here as a sorta honorable mention since he was a repaint of Scorponok with a different head and when hasbro released a toy for him they gave him a head design based on Beast Wars Scorponok which was actually different from the head he had in the show

[@etheron1235]

Interesting that Scorponok started as a gigantic robot to a small murder robot

[@tidepoolclipper8657]

My favorite is Earthrise toy (including Black Zarak). I also like G1 toy, G1 animation, G1 Black Zarak, Earthrise animation, Energon G1 reissue, Cybertron, Angry Birds, RiD 2015 animation, and Bayverse deluxe toy.

[@michaellombardi1620]

Vangelus! man, that g1 toy was something I dreamed of owing

Could you make a list for underrated transformers? (unless you already have) Like Reedman, the one made from Microbots in ROTF that remind me of Scraplets.

[@keldeostudies149]

[@rainbowracer9576]

Awesome Tier List!!!🙌😄

[@TheOvervoid]

Hasbro need to make him a main villain again.

[@akumaking1]

It seems like Skorponok has the most wildly divergent characrtizations and designs

[@therainbowranger84]

I figure BW Scorponok's Transmetal form would include an army tank mode with his tail as the gun. Just flip his stinger up and blast away.

[@gabrielchee8470]

4:22 for me the ramps and play features too admittedly

[@krishacz]

god i should finally draw the design i've been thinking up for him. basically rotf demolishor's giant excavator mode but it turns into a giant scorpion. it's a transtector for Zarak, and Scorponok is the name for an army of drones he has that turn from robot scorpions into backhoe diggers.

[@pious83]

Beast Wars Scorponok (the toy) was awesome. Show version.. wasn't. Character-wise he was made redundant as soon as Inferno debuted. Which is the portrayal that he should have had from the beginning. The only one "done dirty" in that Season Two death sequence was Terrorsaur. He had _both_ a cool TM toy design and a ton more potential.

[@theelementalstation947]

Ah yes, the one transformer whose movie design I actually prefer.

[@Frost_the_polarian_fox]

i still have the rotf scorponok toy. I hope studio series make one day a deluxe scorponok toy

[@tidepoolclipper8657]

I like the Beast Wars toy over the animation model for Scorponok.

Hi Comodin Cam , I like your Scorponok video is very good and interesting . I like the Rise Of Beasts concept art and Beast War Scorponok . But why don't you do the Nemesis Prime or The Fallen video?

Thank you very much and because I’ve got a lot on at the minute with other videos planned but I’ll put a pin in it and hopefully get to them soon :)

[@fredyrodriguez8881]

Micheal Bay version of Scorponok was when I learned about him, and not gonna lie. I like that one

[@historicflame972]

16:30 I just wanna say, the mobile game guy is unrelated to the Scorponok from the show, tragically you can't actually get them to fight though

[@Cole-g2m]

For the G1 Scorponok I like to think that he was a War Titan a special War Titan because I like to think that War Titans while powerful enough to destroy a Red Super Giant but they are small. Scorponok and Fortress Maximus are the same size as normal Titans. You see while normal Titans are born War Titans are made But what do you think about my interpretation of Titans and War Titans

[@twister107]

18:17 actually, it’s confirmed that Scorponok actually does transform into one of Blackouts turbines.its just never explained in the movies cause Michael Bay sucks at writing.

[@dustinarmstrong1168]

Nah, bro. Ehren Krueger sucks at writing, since he's the guy who wrote those movies up until Last Knight. That was co-written by one of the people behind Batman and Robin.

[@shenron101]

I love the studio series scorponok

[@Venom3254]

So basically this character got smaller since G1. Especially with Beast Wars getting smaller, then Bayformers which made him smol, then ROTB making it bigger but still smaller.

The disrespect on movie skorponok is crazy. Do you guys not think that turning the claws into drills for burrowing were a sick idea for a new take on a scorpion and one that made him as deadly as he was in the desert??

[@ahmedmed8021]

The only thing that bayverse scorponok should've had was not being blackout's partner and instead be a titan sized scorpion that towers over optimus prime just like king scorponok from the bayverse "human alliance" arcade game, and should've had the "GET OVER HERE" attack where he extends his tail out and grabs optimus from the "battle for the matrix" game.

I’m realizing very quickly watching this that Scorpinok hasn’t had many good designs. Beast Wars and G1 were the only clear winners there, which is funny since they’re on opposite ends of the spectrum for what works for him.

[@Tonbot74]

I don't get why you dug so deep into the Movie Scorpinoks, down to the unused concept art, and considered a bunch of things to be separate entries from one another, yet you left out IDW Scorpinok. The video description said you covered "ALL" comics designs, but you only covered two comic designs that were in, like, a single panel, and somehow left out Marvel Comics and IDW, two way better known ones.
