Transformers Movie Deluxe Scorponok

He is the most easily transformable. He is weird but he looks pretty fun. Would've bought the other one with the bendy claws but couldn't find him. He is pretty limited to the weak spring attack and the spinning claws and thats it but he's cool. He doesn't quite fit in anywhere and the robot thing is a piece of crap. I cannot stand it that well. Haven't tried making it really dig into sand or dirt or whatever. Somebody test it and report back to us...

Scorponok is a great toy. You can open his claws if you line up the blades of his pincers with the notches in the sides you can open up the claw. I was pretty disappointed with his robot mode but scorpion mode makes up for it and pays EXTRA! If you push down on him in scorpion mode and roll him along on a WOODEN OR METAL surface his pincers will rotate rapidly. I like how it's near impossible to lose the stinger since it's attached to him and is barricaded at either end. He looks cool in scorpion mode, so, most of the time, I leave him in soorpion mode. What I was saying about durable unless found by a dog meant that somehow my dog got into my room and did some damage to him. I am VERY impressed by the complicated gearing of this figure. If you own Voyager Class Blackout, you can hook Scorponok onto him when Blackout's in Pave-Low Helicopter mode and Scorponok's in scorpion mode. If you have a chance to pick up this figure, DO!

Hasbro had to make a robot mode for him because he was always in scorpion mode through the entire film. If you don't like the robot mode follow these steps to change him into a G1-ish base mode I made up once:

*Fold down the head (if you were changing him to robot mode).

*Fold the arms all the way up to pose as 'towers'.

*Fold the legs straight out.

*Rotate the legs so the claws are at the front.

*Stretch the tail all the way up

and behold you a have a G1 looking base mode. I display him like that more than robot mode.

you got to be kidding me! $85? this sells for $9.99 at toysrus. unless this is a diferent size. i am trying to get it for my grandson but at that prize he will have to wait until is in stock at toysrus or amazon drops the price. usually amazon is very reasonably priced so i am expecting i am wrong in the comparison.
