Definetly the best RID deluxe so far. The scorpion mode is cute for a scorpion. It's the robot that really steals the show though. First up, robot modes are usually humanoid and occasionally animalistic (Ravage & Laserbeak being most notable) but semi-humanoid is a real find and Scorponok is not the only one in the series there is also Quillfire with his ape-like look and head kind of like Spiderman's nemesis; Venom. Of extra credit is Scorponok's capacity to crouch quite low due to those bestial legs and the curling tentacle look of those forearms is something I've never seen before when it comes to Transformer arms.

And finally, I agree Scorponok's desert camouflage is better than Paralon's purple.
