The first set is the DK 19 set which includes Scorponok's giant gun, gun shield, chrome leg shields, two extra double barrel cannons and These gap fillers for his ankles We also have the DK 21 upgrade kit which includes brand new Scorpion legs, two more double barrel cannons and some Shield pieces to really amp up the size of Scorponok shield So without further ado, let's get these upgrade sets opened up and check them out and welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews We'll start things off by taking a look at the contents of the DK 19 set first Now this set also comes with a sheet of instructions that show off all of the items You're supposed to get and these are very well illustrated and easy to follow This set also includes a bonus piece a face shield for Earthrise Scorponok Which is a throwback to the generation one toy Really nice molded details on this so I'm looking forward to seeing how this looks on Scorponok Now the first thing you're noticing of course is this giant gun I mean look at this if this had a proper handle, I could use it as a pistol Love the details on this thing of course it comes with the shield piece already attached You got some silver paint applications here and here Big opening right there in the barrel so I can foresee another third-party company making a giant blast effect That'll go right there Now to get the shield off it pegs right in Just pop it off it pegs into this hole here and this hole right there With let's say there's the peg. There's the two pegs right there on either side The gun itself also has a lot of nice details on it including some silver paint applications right here and here And on the other side as well Love the molded details. So just pop the shield back on here And now for comparisons here is the DK 19 Scorponok blaster With the original so I love that that is so cool You also get two of these double barrel cannons and these have some nice Articulation not only do the barrels go up each one is on an individual joint, but they can go out I mean you could do almost a complete 360. Well, you can With these barrels so that is really cool. I like that and these are Just slightly bigger than the ones that originally came with your earth rice Scorponok You also get these two Chrome leg pieces and of course These gap fillers and these have a lot of nice details on them as well. I like the pistons right there So that looks really really cool. So there you go guys. There is your DK 19 upgrade set And now let's take a look at the contents of the DK 21 kit and this kit also includes a sheet of instructions That goes over all of the items included within the box and it looks like there's going to be some assembly required This kit also comes with a bonus item. You get a translucent red visor Now if you recall earth rice Scorponok has a solid visor So this is really going to add to his look you also get a baggie of little tiny screws, so Probably don't lose these. There's also this giant shield. I mean check this thing out. This is huge Great molded detail all over. It looks like he's got blasters here at the top Got great paint applications here. You got silver and purple now this piece right here separates into three pieces Just push this section out and then slide out the side So I can't wait to see what this looks like on the figure You also get two new sets of legs for Scorponok. These actually replace the Back legs the legs that attach to the body if you recall on the Scorponok figure those were all solid, but these actually have Joints, I mean they There is a lot of range of motion With these legs and that is going to vastly improve Scorponok Scorpion mode and you also get more double barrel cannons two more and those are exactly like the ones I just showed so now let's get all of these accessories on the mighty Scorponok Let's start off by putting the bonus accessories on Scorponok's head so the first thing we're going to do is let's go ahead and remove the antenna and Just a quick note. My Scorponok has been enhanced Thanks to toy hacks decals So if you're wondering why mine may look a little different than yours now I like what toy hacks did for his visor, but I can't wait to see what he looks like with this one on so what we're gonna have to do is move this section up right here and We're going to have to get To that screw to take the visor off. I had to do it when applying the toy hacks decals So let's get to it Trying to remember exactly how I did it and I had to kind of open him up. Actually. I remember now That pops right off. So Easy easy squeezy and let's go ahead and remove this Got my handy-dandy R2-D2 screwdriver. I got this at GameStop like Eight years ago and it was on clearance for like four bucks So let's see you move a little bit more Now that only does he have the screw he's clipped in right there So pull that out. I wonder if I can use the same screw Go ahead and pop the visor in It's got the little tabs as well. I believe so so let me get This screw out all the way so yeah, you don't even have to use the little baggy screw So now we have that attached pop this back on and There we have Scorponok with his Transparent visor and I like that. I think that looks really cool because I thought it was kind of disappointing That Scorponok had these great-looking green eyes. I mean they got great molded detail Great paint applications yet. They were hid by the solid visor, so I really like how that looks So now let's go ahead and add the face shield and let's see you want to make sure You put it on just like this see how this lower section hangs down that way you pop this on and They actually snap right over the ports and then you've got the antenna Attach those and There you go. You've got Earthrise Scorponok with a G1 Scorponok look and I Dig that I didn't think I would but I think it looks pretty cool Because I never really liked the face plate or the face shield on Scorponok, but in G1 I understood it kind of gave the illusion that little tiny Zerik was all of Scorponok's head So now let's compare This upgrade kit with my generation one Scorponok. So there we have generation one Scorponok and Earthrise I Dig it that looks awesome And there's what it looks like attached to Earthrise Scorponok Now one issue I see that may be a problem is with the antennas right here. Sorry for the shaky cam You don't have as much Grab now with these pegs. So you may want to thicken these up with some Floor polish so they don't pop out but as long as you're not messing with him too much He's just there on display. I think it's gonna work. So now let's get some more parts on Next up we have these two chrome-looking leg pieces and what they are supposed to represent is bringing in G1 Scorponok once again Scorponok has chrome leg pieces. So these are going to add to the Earthrise look now The first thing you'll do is you take Earthrise Scorponok shield once again toy hacks That's why mine looks so good and you're gonna pop off These bottom sections and then go ahead and separate these Now once these are separated you're going to attach this to The new chrome piece and these actually line up the pegs here on the bottom line up to the holes here And you've got these holes and peg everything lines up. So get those on So you got a nice secure fit there and do that here on the other leg section and There we go. I like that especially with the toy hacks decals. So let's bring in Earthrise Scorponok So now let's get these attached go ahead and turn Scorponok around you've got the four pegs right here just line those up and There you go a perfect fit go ahead and do this on the other side as well and There we go Scorponok now has extra leg armor Now we're going to take care of these Insightly gaps in Scorponok's ankles and you're gonna take the gap filler piece here And these are super easy to install barely an inconvenience. So what you're going to do is You've got the little hole right there Take this section. You're gonna peg this in Angle this up and there's a little Let me show you you got the peg right here and there is a clip right there The clip is going to go around this section while the peg goes there So let me see if I can get myself angled just right peg into top Clip in at the bottom and just fold the flat over the gap and there we go That looks great. And of course as you angle Scorponok's foot this will go along with it So let's see get here on the other side. Maybe you can see this one better You got the hole there and there's where it clips and angle this accordingly peg and Clip and There we go a much better look I dig it Now you're going to take this piece of Scorponok shield and attach it to this Behemoth and how this attaches really simple. You've got these two pegs right here on the original shield and you just peg those in place and There you go this thing is Massive now and the toy hacks once again works really well with this. So let's get this attached to Scorponok Now to attach Scorponok's new shield what you're going to do is right here on Scorponok's claw You've got these pegs you line that up with the holes right here And there's also pegs that are going to line up To these little holes right there on the bottom. So go ahead and line everything up And there's Scorponok with that new massive shield That looks awesome Now while we're at it, let's go ahead and attach Scorponok's new Cannons, so just remove the ones that he already has and Just like the originals these new cannons have one peg that you just line up right there on the shoulders And what's cool is you can give him the double cannon look Just like the generation one toy so we've got right there on the left And we'll get the ones here on the right Now what's cool about these cannons is with the articulation they can actually aim Forward of course you can spread these out So that looks really really cool. I Love it now. Let's get his gun in hand And of course here we have Scorponok's massive blaster and how this attaches to Scorponok's hand You've got one peg right here That's gonna peg in right there on his wrist. So go ahead and peg that in get his arm Forward for you Because once you peg the gun in you want to wrap the fingers around especially this bottom finger bring it around and Underneath the top finger forms like he's holding the trigger and there you go Wow, what a difference that makes Now let's get Scorponok transformed into city mode Now once you get Scorponok all transformed into city mode and all the new upgrade pieces set aside You are going to notice that these sections right here No longer fold flat against the legs and that's because of the new calf covers They just don't allow these to fold down all the way, but that's no big deal because you can take these new cannon pieces Angle the barrels forward and you can attach this right to the purple section So now Scorponok city mode has some forward-facing weapons. So we'll go ahead and do this for the other side Now you're going to take the other cannons and just like the original transformation calls for You're going to take these tower pieces and attach inside the barrel of the cannons So go ahead and get that hooked in and you're going to connect this to the scorpion claw towers and The other so now you're going to take the shield and you're going Take this apart into the three sections that I showed earlier Take the middle section here and what you're going to do is slide it right there In front of the ramp so it kind of gives a little bit of a ramp extension These pieces here you're going to fold like so and Attach these to the side of the towers now are going to do is attach to be a one little port Actually, I was wrong. There's two pegs right here See if this will show up. So you're going to line these two pegs up one in the orange section and one right here Just line those up And now you have the extra tower piece. Let me go ahead and fix that other one Lastly you're going to take Scorponok's giant gun remove the gun shield and Take the orange section. You're going to turn around this way. You've got a peg hole right there That's going to match up To a peg on the back of the leg. So get that installed Move over here ends the same thing. There's a peg hole right there Line that up And there we have Scorponok's upgraded city mode I just really wish there was somewhere to attach the Blasters that he came with but I guess you could just lay him down if you'd like but still that looks really really good And of course you could take Scorponok's upgraded head and he will fit down in that section right there So now it's time to break out the tools Get Scorponok's legs attached and show him off in scorpion mode Okay, so this looks pretty straightforward You've got these leg sections right here that you're going to replace with these new pieces And you can see right here see the wheel. There is a slot right there where that wheel is going to go Make sure you have a good long screwdriver to get down into these ports So let's go ahead and get these taken out And after you get all the screws out this whole section right here is just going to lift up Now the next thing you're going to want to do is remove the tail And as you can see it just snaps in so just go ahead and pop the tail off Get here on both sides So now you've got these separate leg sections and the tail removed from your Scorponok Now you need to remove the gray wheels and easiest way do this get your screwdriver in there and They just pop out. There's one That's a little harder than the other. There we go. So now we've got the wheels out Now time for the install Now the first thing you want to do is determine which side goes where so once you get that figured out Let's go ahead and put the wheels back in so you got the wheel from the original That should pop right in To the new one. Yep. There we go clicked right into place You do have to push With some effort Get that in and yeah That hurt. So now we've got that figured out. We're going to take the tail and Reinstall the tail clicking it in to those little sections right there And that went in a lot smoother than the wheels So we've got the tail hooked in And now we're going to slot those legs in as you can see they got the big Arms sticking down. You're going to line those up right there with those holes There we go Get those all in and I did save The original screws So that's what I'm going to use to put these legs back into place. So Let's go ahead and get these attached Now that I have the new legs attached to the body What we need to do is attach the four legs from the original toy To the new add-ons and to pop these off It's super easy and actually pretty fun. You're just going to take the leg Back like so and press down Pops right out. Go ahead and do this with all eight And now we take the original legs and just pop them right in Let's see if those snap into place Actually, there's no snap, but you can feel When they catch So we'll finish doing this and all of and scorpion ox legs Will be finished And there is scorpion ox brand new legs Attached to his scorpion body and what a difference That makes look at the articulation they go up and down In and out and they're very very squeaky. You can tell that they're new Now there are some toy hacks decals that are on the original legs I'm going to try to take off and see if I can apply them to the new legs because Those just look too good So now let's finish scorpion ox transformation into scorpion mode And show off what the upgrade set looks like on the finished product Now that we have scorpion fully transformed into scorpion mode It's time to install the upgrade pieces and the first one you're going to do is take this section And fold it in half. So you've got this part right here That you're going to install inside scorpion ox tail. It slides in Fits really good. It actually slots in right there. You see this little section sticking up Then you're going to take this shield piece make sure the claws are all the way open And it's going to attach just like it did before So get that in there And go ahead and close the claws around the shield tip So those are now here now you're going to take these chrome sections And these are going to actually attach right here on the side now before These panels went down and attached to scorpion ox body You can't do that now because of those gap fillers. So you're going to take these Make sure and get the right one. I like to have the orange piece on top And they'll line up with the pegs And you just put these on the side So there's one and the other So that works really good because I had little decals right there make it look like you had blasters So I like the looks of that Now you're going to take these pieces right here And these are going to attach to the front of scorpion ox claws You want to make sure the ridge section here is on top with the point facing back And just line it up with the pegs And get those attached. So you got that going on go ahead and do the other one So now he has beefed up armored claws Now you've got your multiple cannons and we can put one cannon right here On this shoulder One over here For these two cannons, what you're supposed to do is put these right here on the sides Now these side cannons are going to have to angle up slightly because they do hit The purple door right there and last but not least we have scorpion ox giant gun It's going to attach to the tail. So you want to take this section of the tail And fold over and that will reveal if you can see it There is a slot that this section right here on the gun Is going to fit in and it's a tight fit Get that the lineup just right There we go And now we've got scorpion ox all armed And ready for battle and honestly How cool does that look now? That is one intimidating looking scorpion He's got cannons on his arms cannons on his back a cannon for the tail Multiple shields this guy looks awesome and I couldn't be happier So does the dna designs dk 19 and dk 21 upgrade sets belong in your collection? Absolutely if you have a titans scorpion ox an earth rise scorpion ox You have to get this set It just adds so much more to this figure and one of the things I forgot to show off the new Legs fold even better into the back of the figure. Now. I also mentioned earlier I didn't know what to do with his original blasters. You can attach them to his claws here Or here so this scorpion ox is really all armed and ready for battle Now I pre-ordered my set from big bad toy store back in march And they were finally delivered last week and as far as I know They're still in stock right now And I know another set is coming out to extend scorpion ox legs. I think to make you about That much taller. I don't know if I'll get that one because I'm pretty happy with what I've got now But man, I can't recommend these sets enough.
