Scorponok (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts)

Scorponoks are a subspecies of scorpion-like Cybertronian drones from the planet Cybertron.

Scorponoks share a similar biology to other Cybertronians, except they transform into robotic scorpions with elongated tails, six legs, and pincered forearms. They come in many colors such as red, green, blue, yellow, and purple.

Powers and abilities
Scorponoks share many of the same abilities as other Cybertronians.

Scorponoks have quite enough brute strength and can burrow underground.

Scorponoks can use their stinger tails as offensive weapons. They also appear to possess blaster weaponry within their pincers.

Weaknesses
Scorponoks share many of the same weaknesses as other Cybertronians.

Culture and society
Scorponoks are monstrous and malicious scorpion-like drones associated with the Terrorcon faction that serve as either brute reinforcements for Unicron's endless numbers of Sweeps or ferocious pursuers that seek out and destroy targets for other Terrorcons.

Scorponoks also appear to be affiliated with the Predacon faction, evident by Predacon insignias being barely visible on their backs.

History
In the distant future, a horde of Scorponoks were deployed by Unicron during the Terrorcons' attack on a jungle planet colonized by bestial Cybertronians. Arriving ahead of senior acolyte Scourge, two Scorponoks pursued Maximal leader Apelinq before being killed by Maximals Optimus Primal and Airazor.

During Unicron's attempted invasion of Earth in 1994, Scorponoks were sent as reinforcements for the Terrorcon Sweep army protecting the Transwarp Key. Several Scorponoks were killed by the combines forces of the Autobots and Maximals. When Autobot leader Optimus Prime destroyed the Transwarp Key, many Scorponoks were incinerated by the resulting explosion. Those that survived said explosion were sucked into the collapsing Transwarp portal.
