I was really debating on deleting my pre-order from entertainment Earth But I'm glad I didn't because he arrived in the mail yesterday really took me by surprise and The reviewer and me really wanted to check out the Hasbro offering Compared to the third party. So now let's take a quick look at the packaging We've got Scorponok here in robot mode Transformers war for Cybertron Kingdom and more of that fantastic Kingdom artwork You got Scorponok in Scorpion mode and robot mode back in the packaging You've got more images of the toy in that horrible image that I was talking about them We'll go over a little bit more in the review and there he is in Scorpion mode once again You also see his little cyber B on the side of the packaging is the Outstanding Kingdom artwork So let's go ahead and get this Scorponok out of the packaging and see if this bot has some sting and welcome to Patriot Prime reviews Now once you get Scorponok all opened up and out of his packaging You'll see he does come with a sheet of instructions that as usual are very well illustrated and very easy to follow He also comes with a trading card. This one is black arachnia and when you peel back the Sticker you've got another image of black arachnia holding a spear I don't think I have that one yet. So like that looks pretty cool and you have weapons for Scorponok including his Mega missiles and you have two missiles right here Fused together with a five millimeter peg here on the end so you can actually take these missiles open up Scorponok's claw And put them in there like so and he also comes with his little Cyber B and the cyber B doesn't look too bad. It's got some really good sculpting some nice paint applications But I wish it had a five millimeter peg Right there on the chest You can see the molded in wings to not wings the molded in legs That looks really good But the peg is here on the butt and that's so you can plug it into Scorponok's claws But I wish he had a peg there like I said on the bug chest so he could plug into other bots Because in the show the cyber B was used to inject venom to you know Effect maximal so this one if you're gonna peg him into some other bot It's gonna be sticking out and looking weird, but it does look good if you peg it into Scorponok's claws like this So now you have Scorponok all armed and ready for battle with his mega missiles in one claw and His cyber B in the other so now let's take a closer look at Scorponok himself Now when I first opened Scorponok up out of his packaging my first thought was wow He looks so much better than his images online And that's because the images online have him mist transformed with his beast legs all Splayed out all over the place for Packeting he was in the package like this the legs were all folded up and Stuck in the cardboard insert and that looks so much better much more show accurate than the legs all over the place also another issue that I noticed once getting hit this guy in hand was some of the other stock photos show the Scorpion mode head up over the robot head. It's actually tucked in here We'll get to that later in transformation But this image right here who shows the scorpion head over top of the robot head So I don't know what it is with Hasbro if you're going to be promoting your product At least have your people transform the figure right for photos. So enough of complaining about that. Let's look at Scorponok He's not bad looking, but he's not great. He's got a very blocky torso I think really detracts from the character or the figure kind of gives you a dad bod but he does have a lot of nice sculpted detail and Texture hopefully the lights catching is just right But you can see the texture on the claws and the chest there. I mean it looks really good It's like a insect exoskeleton think a closer look at the face sculpt The face sculpt is kind of a hit-and-miss well one the head sculpt looks great But the face sculpt itself. I do not like that. I mean, I think the mouth is way too big He looks like a bulldog Just the lips are too much. He's got his little pointed purple goatee the yellow visor Once again great paint applications the yellow there on the tusks and the crest a little yellow right there for the center display Her center emblem now due to transformation. He does have this big crack down his chest and if it would Pig in a little tighter It wouldn't look bad because he has all these other molded details on the chest as well But it is what it is legs look really good to lots of great molded details and paint applications now the tail The tail could be better. It's got a lot of hollowness Right there. I think that sucks and on the back of the tail. It's really bad with this hollow section But that's due to transformation So I'm not too worried about the hollowness right here because when he's displayed on the shelf You're not going to see that but this right here that sucks So somebody needs to get on that and make some filler pieces now a lot of people are wondering how the Hasbro version of Scorponok Compares to the transform element stinger warrior and as you can see stinger warrior is much more Cartoon accurate and actually surprisingly. They're almost the same size now another drawback that Hasbro has the Stinger warrior has the tail attached to his upper back where the Hasbro version has the tail attached to his butt in the Cartoon show Scorponok had the tail attached just like that what gave him a lot more range of motion now This is not too bad, but he can't really strike overhead like the transform element version Let's go ahead and get him out of the way. I've already reviewed this guy. Let's focus on Hasbro So let's do the articulation now and we'll start with the tail the tail can go way back here and Has a joint there and this stinger tip is on a ball joint But like I said, it really doesn't have the range of motion like in the show The arms can do a complete 360 they can go up and they can go down There is a bicep Rotation right there and as you saw a bicep bend and that is really tight Of course, I prefer to have my tight joints with my figures not going to complain The claws as you saw earlier can open and close and there is a wrist rotation He also has a waist rotation here legs can go out and in forward and back There is a knee bend and ankle tilt So he does have a lot of nice articulation Which is really really good for your more modern figures now if you don't like the Missiles or cyber be inside his claws go ahead and remove these I do wish these missiles Were separate, but at least they can come out the transform element The missiles actually flipped up inside the claw so you could hide them out of the way until you flip them out For battle, but with this Scorponok you just pop them right out and you have the option To use a blast effect if you like so blast effect plugs in there and I do like that I think that looks really cool. So now let's get Scorponok transformed into beast mode Now before we get into transforming Scorponok into his beast mode I want you guys to take a look at his claws. I Just find these Claws the way they have these molded they look so weird in his robot mode they got this weird angle and With the spikes it makes it look like teeth These claws remind me of Audrey to from little shop of horrors or a piranha plant from Mario I just they look like they could be a hand puppet. I hate his claws But they suck in robot mode, but they'll actually look pretty good in scorpion mode And we'll get to that right now. So the first thing we're gonna do is let's rotate the arms All the way up like so now what we're gonna do is split apart Scorponok's chest now it doesn't open all the way it only goes about this far and then you're gonna take his head and Fold down Just to right there and that is it now what we're gonna do is bring the tail down and Now take the scorpion legs and just manipulate these around Probably have to move the shoulders up slightly just like that and now you're gonna get these legs down and out of the way and rotating the middle section around and Just bringing those down there on kind of a soft clicking ratchet joint. Let me show you if we'll pick it up So see how that kind of locks in place that comes into play later on so just get these legs wrapped around and in Position now you're gonna lift the back section up and this is where the robot head is hid and This is kind of a pain to get a hold of I Just I don't have the fingernails to do it. Let me see up. There we go I got it this time so you're gonna bring the scorpion head up and then shut this section. So the scorpion head goes over Scorponok's robot head now take these shoulders and turn these around so you have these little spike sections facing in Now once they're in like that, you're gonna bring the shoulders even closer together So they'll actually finish hiding the robot head of Scorponok and this part is really cool I love his leg transformation Flip the tail out and you're gonna bring the waist section Extended out further now what you want to do is pay attention to Scorponok's heels He has one heel that's purple and one heel that's gray So you want to rotate the legs around so they heal with the gray Section here is now towards the tail. So then you're gonna take the legs and Rotate around so you've got this little section right here You want this? To face Toward the scorpion tail so you can actually fold the leg up then you go rotate once again Right there. So you've got the pointy heel facing toward the scorpion tail and now you're going to fold the foot forward and just Put the leg in the scorpion tail and there's this little hole right here that that heel is going to fit into And there you go. That fills up that big hollow spot on the tail now for the front of the scorpion just turn the leg once again, you're gonna bring the foot forward and You just fold it in on itself like so make sure Everything's lined up right the best way to know is these blue sections here are Facing down. Let's get this angle just right and There you go now. Unfortunately That's what that's going to look like. It's kind of sloppy looking But once you get these legs back in place and make sure and snap them down like I showed earlier He should stand up fairly well so The legs kind of balance him out. Otherwise, he's gonna be flopping around on this I hate that that sucks, but there's really no way I guess you can angle it up Let me see if the leg will fit Into that slot on the knee It does not so you just kind of angle that like so Get the arms position just right get the claws open here And there we go. We have Scorponok in Scorpion mode and I like Scorponok's Scorpion mode. It actually looks Like a realistic scorpion and as I said earlier the claws work more for Scorpion mode Then they did for robot mode. If you actually compare a picture of a real scorpion it works even with the red tip of the tail and Scorpion mode it's pretty long and I dig it. I really like this He's got red eyes right here on top. He's got the red fangs The way the spikes on the shoulder pads look kind of like looks like mandibles. Maybe it's got all the same Articulation and the arms that was in the robot mode and of course you can put in the missiles and the cyberbee Lot of articulation here with these legs now the front legs and the back. There is a ball joint here Near the connecting point of the body and that's it There's no extra ball joints for the knees Which is disappointing and the middle legs you got two legs hooked together on One ball joint and these legs are also Very very hollow. I hate how his robot face is just right there I wish I could have tucked more into the chest along with this whole leg section here in Genius transformation with the leg in the tail. I just wish they could done something with the leg underneath Now articulation with the tail is kind of limited now because of the leg I mean it just doesn't have much movement at all except for up here on top And the little stinger tip which is on a ball joint. So now let's compare Kingdom Scorponok To the transform element Stinger warrior So you can see where kingdom goes for the more realistic approach Where the transform element stinger warrior has that more cartoon look So there you go guys transformers war for cybertron kingdom scorponok in beast mode And now for some quick size comparisons here is transformers war for cybertron kingdom scorponok With kingdom beast megatron Kingdom black arachnia Once again with transform element stinger warrior And earth rise titan class scorponok Transformers war for cybertron kingdom scorponok Is all right. He's just not at all what I was expecting to be honest I haven't really been impressed with this third wave of the kingdom line I got ryan ox wasn't really impressed with him and now Scorponok here has left me wanting. I was just really expecting a lot more Especially after wave one and two just totally knocked it out of the park Now I do find his transformation pretty ingenious But there's just a lot of sculpting issues and design flaws that I think hasbro really should have passed on Though I do like his beast mode. I like the realistic scorpion Opposed to the cartoon version Of the stinger warrior. So there you go guys transformers war for cybertron kingdom scorponok So does a transformers war for cybertron kingdom scorponok belong in your collection? Well, this one was a little underwhelming for me for one I wish he was a little bit bigger two I find that they really had some odd design choices with him I mean, I'm not a big fan of the dad bod that he has and these claws just suck I don't understand why they went for this look Now it does look bad in robot mode, but scorpion mode actually looks pretty good I like the realistic approach to his beast mode But all in all I just think this guy could have been a lot better And he's more recommended for those of you who want to complete your line of kingdom figures So you have your predacon lineup, but if you want something a little bit more show accurate for us adult collectors I would go with the stinger warrior But this guy he's good Not great.
