I bought my Scorponok a few years ago via eBay. A seller in Portugal had him in great condition and decided to finally get him. While he had no box or accessories, the condition of the figure was great. Happy with my purchase.
I notice that the G1 Scorponok toy looks like the Scorponok from the Headmaster Series in Japan where the Headmaster Partner Zarak is smaller than the Earth Rise Headmaster Partner.
Cool review. I still have my childhood Scorponok. One of the best G1 toys. It wasn't mentioned in the instructions, so I didn't realise there was a panel on Zarak's back to cover Scorponok's face until I got the scaled down Kabaya version of G1 Highbrow and Brainstorm 18 years later. I saw Highbrow had a panel so I tried Scorponok. 18 years I never noticed!!
Scorponok had more to do in the Japanese Headmasters and Japanese Masterforce. And I think he is the largest decepticon for Hasbro, but Overlord was bigger I believe. But those toys weren't being made in the US. Great video I am glad I found your channel. Plus a fellow military bud that loves transformers.
Got the earthrise scorpinok for Christmas and I think it’s a fitting upgrade to the organic toy. Yeah the base mode is missing a few features and fast track not being sold with it is sad but it improves in almost every other way. Plus he’s massive and it feels nice and heavy. I remember looking at the figure and going holy crap he’s huge!
@ plus despite how heavy the figure is it can surprisingly hold some good poses. Plus the scorpion mode is almost picture perfect. I also like how this version of scorpinok is a double head master.
Biggest Decepticon from the G1 toyline, one of the most memorable characters in Marvel G1 and he was part of the most epic battle in the Sunbow cartoon (seriously, despite the brevity of the fight, I always get excited by it). He would be so proud of his achievements.
Very entertaining and informative video. Just got in a Scorponok body, no parts. Thus beginning my long journey to complete him, he has a lot of parts!!!
Thank you for doing this guy! I got an imp complete one a while back that I'm slowly getting the parts for, and I have reprolabels of course, but this brings it all home for me :)
You're welcome, I'm actually still hunting parts. Fasttrack's guns are repros and looks like I'll be on the hunt for a new Fasttrack body as well...during filming mine ran off the table, hit the floor, and his foot snapped off.
Congrats on the 100th Vid! I have Scorponok myself but he's in a sorry condition with 2 broken legs and no accessories so i'm in for the long haul to complete him :)
I'm still hunting pieces. Fasttrack's guns are repros and during the filming of this review my Fasttrack hit the floor and broke. 😣 Fortunately a Fasttrack body is fairly cheap.
Though I knew he was big, I never realized he was bigger than G1 Trypticon. Great review, as always. Way to make it 100 vids. At the rate your going you will hit 200 in no time!
Nice video. This is a toy that I never got as a kid. I really liked him except for how tiny the head is inside the helmet. By the way... Although I like this video, you've gotten better at making them since this one. In new videos, you display and talk a bit more about the details in toy and of course your editing is better. Kudos!
Great review, brother. Scorponok is such a great G1 figure. Congratulations on reaching 100 video. On a side note, 400 subscribers should be just around the corner for you. Cheers M
This was my final transformer I got as a kid before I got “too big for toys” . The Titan reissue of Scorp is in my humble opinion the best of the Titans .
AMAZING REVIEW PATRIOT PRIME!!!!!!!!!!! I can not wait for the day when Hasbro announces that Scorponok will be given a Titan Class toy in the Generations toy line, to be the rival of Titans Return Fortress Maximus. :D Say I was wondering do you have G1 Greatshot in your collection, I will try and upload a video of the KO 3rd Party version soon, and I will greatly enjoy seeing you review the original G1 toy. :) Keep up the amazing work you do, I am always entertained watching your videos, you are amazing Patriot Prime. :D
I always keep the radar dishes in the chest cavity for scorpion and robot modes. You can also peg the assembled rifle between the folded up robot legs in scorpion mode. If you've got him in base mode, Greasepit and Airwave also fit perfectly on either side of the tail ramp, nuzzled up against the repair bays.
I should get my Skorponok on Tuesday!! I do wish they would've treated his head like Fort Max's. It could've been a smaller robot for Zarak (like Cerebros and Spike) that formed the scorpion's head and flipped a couple parts to become Scorponok's head. Zarak just looks a bit goofy sitting in the helmet. I always though he was motorized to roll on the wheels to appear to be walking. A bit bummed it's not but I guess that's one less thing to break, right?
He also had a big part in the headmaster series if you haven't seen the headmaster series it's not the greatest but Intel's a transformers story nonetheless
Congrats on 100 and I honestly think it would be super easy to update this guy using the titans return Fort Max mold with, Really, some minor remolding.
Did you ever watch the Transformers Energon TV Series? Scorponok was in that too. I actually never watched that series, but I know he was in there. That's a neat toy, but I don't like Scorponok being that large.
I have the Energon figure, he's a great homage to G1 and a decent size. I'd love to see a Leader Class figure of Scorponok that ditches the City Mode and just keeps the Scorpion one.

Thanks for sharing!
He's one of my all time favorite G1s.
I remember having to cut many yards for this guy lol.
Wish i still had my G1 Skorpinok

Great review and congrats on 100 videos!! Yayyyyy!!!
I can't wait to see the Earthrise version review!!

Overlord is just a little bit shorter than Scorponok. Masterforce featured Black Zarak, which had a different helmet, color scheme and a spear.

He’s almost exactly the same height as vintage Fort Max

I just bought a heavily damaged Scorponok g1 for 15 bucks, but its only missing the head.
Very entertaining and informative video. Just got in a Scorponok body, no parts. Thus beginning my long journey to complete him, he has a lot of parts!!!
It's a long expensive journey...I'm still looking for original Fasttrack guns.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews It is. I was lucky enough to get a complete Fasttrack with his guns for a good price, now to get his other accessories!!
Thank you for doing this guy! I got an imp complete one a while back that I'm slowly getting the parts for, and I have reprolabels of course, but this brings it all home for me :)

Fasttrack's guns are repros and looks like I'll be on the hunt for a new Fasttrack body as well...during filming mine ran off the table, hit the floor, and his foot snapped off.
I'm about halfway there on parts.

Very well done. Keep these reviews coming

Thank you sir, yeah I look back at some of my older ones and shudder.
This is definitely a learning experience for sure.
Congrats on reaching 100 videos and you did a great job with Scorponok’s review!
WOOOHOOOOOOO 100! Way ta go Bro!
Awesome review of a very awesome figure.
He was insane. I remember watching this episode when I was 3.
Great review, brother. Scorponok is such a great G1 figure. Congratulations on reaching 100 video. On a side note, 400 subscribers should be just around the corner for you. Cheers M
Thank you sir.
You give the best reviews bro! #realamericanhero
I like ur channel n ur videos. Congratulations on ur achievement. Keep it up. 😉
Thanks buddy, I appreciate it.
Hooah!!!
This was my final transformer I got as a kid before I got “too big for toys” . The Titan reissue of Scorp is in my humble opinion the best of the Titans .
I'll agree with you on that one 100%
Random fact: scorponok and fort max shared the same voice actor.

Alas I do not have a Greatshot, but a Sixshot Review is right around the corner.
TERRIFIC! :D I enjoy G1 Sixshot, even though he is just a brick in robot mode. :P

This is how I think the next line of Titan figs should follow: Scorponok, Chela, Tidal Wave, Navitas, Vigilem & Caminus.
Man I’m rewatching this miss that og intro
Me too.
I miss that old intro in the new videos. Since i never got to own the g1 toy i hope i can get the new version of him
I miss that one too, unfortunately RUclips started hitting me with Copyright strikes.
His title of biggiest Decepticon was taken by Cybertron Supreme Class Starscream, Then Trypticon came.
I wanted to see a size comparison of Scorponok with Fortress Maximus even though I already know Fort Max is twice his size.
I can't wait to see the one they're doing for either Siege or Earthrise
I know, been waiting on him for a long time.
He also had a big part in the headmaster series if you haven't seen the headmaster series it's not the greatest but Intel's a transformers story nonetheless
in head master cartoon zarak was the size of normal transformers
Dude I just seen this in my recommendations lol it's strange both our 100th videos is the original titans lol
You should try to find the botcon the new headmaster head is a great update for the g1
Wasnt g1 overlord slightly taller or are we just talking US releases. And i really loved him in marvel comics and was sad when he died.
I'm only well versed in U.S. G1.
I'm slowly gaining more knowledge of our favorite robot franchise from across the pond.
Patriot Prime Reviews thats fine theres alot to be learned. Im just glad to possibly be giving you some new knowledge.
Congrats on 100 and I honestly think it would be super easy to update this guy using the titans return Fort Max mold with, Really, some minor remolding.
Dude you should have talked about the headmasters
I want your G1 Snapdragon.
In the japanese, his name is black zarak.
Thank-you for your service and your sacrifice, sir. I was a Coast Guardsman. Love Scorponok. With that said, Decepticons - ATTAAAACK!
I appreciate that, you as well good sir.
Did you ever watch the Transformers Energon TV Series? Scorponok was in that too. I actually never watched that series, but I know he was in there. That's a neat toy, but I don't like Scorponok being that large.
I have the Energon figure, he's a great homage to G1 and a decent size.
I'd love to see a Leader Class figure of Scorponok that ditches the City Mode and just keeps the Scorpion one.
Yeah I'm okay with Scorponok being around Optimus Prime's size. But a city-mode... WHOW! Since when was he related to Metroplex!?
Biggest Decepticon toy in the US. Overlord was bigger but was only released in Japan and Europe.
Ratbat was a leader of the Decepticons? The he**?
Yup, and I was so happy when Scorponok finally killed him.
Is he fun to play with?
That he is, one of the best.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews I never had him. Targetmasters, yes way back in 1987. Is he in your top 5 G1 list?
