Scorponok

Scorponoks are a subspecies of scorpion-like Animatronian-type Cybertronian drones from the planet Animatron before later relocating to Unicron.
== Biology ==
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.
== 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 insectoid Sweeps or ferocious pursuers that seek out and destroy targets for other Terrorcons.
Scorponoks appear to have been affiliated with the Predacon faction in the past, evident by Predacon insignias being barely visible on their backs.
== History ==
In the distant future, a tribe of Scorponoks originated from a jungle planet colonized by bestial Cybertronians before falling under the sway of Unicron. Several Scorponoks were deployed by their new master during the Terrorcons' attack on their former home planet. 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, several Scorponoks were sent as reinforcements for the Terrorcon Sweep army protecting the Transwarp Key. Most of them 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.
