* Main form(Black Zarak)
* Alt form (Black Zarak)
* Main form (Mega Zarak)
* Alt-form (Mega Zarak)

Scorponok, better known as Black Zarak and later as Mega Zarak, in GU2. He can call himself simply Zarak, but already in the form of the "brain" of the fortress. It has almost the same structure as its nemesis Fortress Maximus.

## Personality

Dangerous, cunning and devious, Scorponok has both a sharp mind and great unbridled strength. He is equally comfortable with out-of-the-box strategies and brute force, although he is built more for the latter: his animalistic alternate form bristles with weapons ranging from multiple twin cannons and a fearsome electric stinger in his tail to the crushing grip of his mighty claws. These traits combined make him both a fearsome opponent on the battlefield and a serious contender for Decepticon leadership. Often only his nemesis Fortress Maximus is able to stand against him.

Most likely, with his character, he was able to achieve his authority and become a candidate for the throne of the Decepticon Emperor during the "War for Throne".

## Story

Initially, he was known simply as Zarak, as he was himself a Headmaster.

Scorponok was one of a group of miniature Transformers who left Cybertron four million years ago to escape the Great War and settled on the planet Master. To survive the planet's harsh environment, the Transformers built large, lifeless robot bodies called Transtectors, which they could plug into as heads, increasing their size and power. Scorponok was trained to become one of these "Headmasters", but grew uncomfortable under the Keep's guidance and led several like-minded warrior Headmasters in a rebellion that ultimately ended in their defeat and expulsion from the Master.

Scorponok soon allied himself with Galvatron and the Decepticons, and his other minions later joined Galvatron's forces during the attack on Cybertron. Scorponok himself, on the other hand, refrained from appearing on the battlefield, keeping a low profile (in the most ridiculously literal way imaginable) and only showing up to wait for the right moment for the Throne War.

During the war, already on Earth, Zarak uses the form of Black Zarak, and hides his true identity. Despite the similar names, he managed to convince the emperor that Mega Zarak and Black Zarak were different Cybertronians, thereby fooling the overlord. No one knew about his secret until Black Zarak's body was destroyed. He promised that he would return for revenge.

And after some time, he still returns as Mega Zarak, unites new forces of the Decepticons and begins a new invasion of Earth, until the Dark Crusaders arrive and ruin his plans.

## Abilities

Like Mega Zarak, like his enemy, Fortress Maximus, has an enormous height of 3000m. Transforming into a giant scorpion, it also plays the role of a fortress city. Instead of hands, there are huge claws that can break the thick armor of the fortress. On his shoulders there are powerful 2-barreled cannons that serve as artillery or as a defense. However, unlike Fortress Maximus, he also has small machine guns all over his body, which is able to defend against small targets. In his alt form, he also has a third cannon at the tip of his tail, which can melt any metal, and after melting, a radioactive substance remains on the residue, which acts like poison. When touched by any substance, it can easily die.

As Black Zarak, in addition to the above cannons, he also has a long red trident with which he can both throw and cut any enemy.
