Toy Review - KINGDOM Scorponok

[Seraphim Prime]

Pros:
Sculpting in both robot mode and scorpion mode
Carries the feel of the character well
Cyberbee and missile attachments are great inclusions
Great decal work with the Predacon logo on the shoulder and gold accents

Cons
Poor transformation scheme
Legs just hang there in both robot and scorpion modes
Robot facial sculpt not quite there character we're familiar with

Overall
I think it's telling that there is yet to be a review for Scorponok.
When I first opened him and played with him I was disappointed with the transformation - which is largely about hiding the legs and head within the tail and robot body. The head transformation feels incomplete and just sits there tilted in to the open robot chest.
The robot mode is pleasing overall, but suffers from the large scorpion tail creating weight balance issues and the scorpion legs which just hang off the back
The figure also feels short and squat, with a more square chest, as opposed to the BW show model that had much broader shoulders.

He looks good in static posing, but is disappointing in terms of transformation.
Only seek him out if you are looking to complete your Kingdom beasts.

I just got this guy yesterday for Fathers Day. I like him. The scorpion legs can stay quite compact between his robot body and tail, but it'd be nice if there were some tabs just to secure it all properly.
I like how his robot is short and stumpy but the scorpion looks long and skinny. I appreciate how, it's a simple transformation and you can tell that it's the same character, but the proportions seem to change. The bony armoured look is cool too.

I also giggle a little how he's short and stumpy and yet, if you pause halfway through transformation, he has to pull off this dainty ballet move with his legs in order to achieve his alt-mode.

It's confusing having the same name used for 2 different characters within the space of a year lol

I got mine in July from not-Zing/EB. The reason for not reviewing was I couldn't be bothered.

I'm a fan, gotta say. Just a squat little scorpion man, none of the issues people seem to be having a deal breakers for me. Probably would have benefited from being a Voyager with a little more complexity, but that's true of any figure really. I'm just thrilled to have any Scorponok.

There's a lot not to love about this guy as others mentioned.

However for a first outing of a toon-accurate Scorponok, he's not bad at all. Heck as the random beast mook he was in Netflix Kingdom he's quite fitting. Hopefully he doesn't have to wait another 20 odd years for a redux

The split down the middle in robot mode erks a lil. Beast mode kinda reminds me of mighty max scorpion i had
