Transformers: Earthrise Titan Class Headmaster SCORPONOK [2020] 

"Maybe give him a mask so he can go shopping" lol

The original Scorponok was one of my favorite Transformers as a kid. I love just how well they have captured the same appearance yet updated and improved this toy. Love the enthusiasm Michael has for this toy, takes me back!

I had the original when I was a kid. Wish my toy was this cool back in the 80's

Having the G1 Scorponok being the Spud Webb to G1 Fort Max being Shaq was much like having G1 Blaster completely tower over G1 Soundwave. It "was" really hard to have them be arch-rivals to the other when one was clearly much much taller.

I like that the neck guard doesn't interfere with articulation, because the head is articulated below where it plugs in. very nice bit of engineering.

I think the Scorponok figure being slightly shorter than Fortress works in his favour because he’s more well portioned and briefer in a lot of areas. Like Trypticon, it’s the mass and width that makes him much larger than his opponent who’s simply is just tall. I think it is both the Metroplex buck and Cerebrous that are a little too big.

It’s wonderful to have one of the greatest Decepticons ever written in updated form.

I was a huge Transformers fan from about 1985 up until the Bay movies began. I don't collect toys but still casually observe what comes out. I'm rarely impressed by a new toy that comes out but this Scorponok is pretty cool.

I was not expecting this to be an hour and a half long, but it's a welcome surprise.

I love the vid. In city mode you can also fold up scorpion legs in the gap where they store in robot mode and use them as sort of a shredder or just claws to trap other transformers.

I loved this review and unboxing. I had the original back in 87 and you brought back fond memories. I may have to buy this version now.

I brought the Seige Jetfire yesterday and my kids are playing with it amazed how big it is. I told them come here and watch this. A few years ago when I wasn't a toy guy I took my kids to a toy store and saw the Tripticon and thought no way I'm paying that. Five to six years later I'm looking at getting this guy.

Outstanding review. Plus, the bumpers before the adds make the review more enjoyable. Well done

It really depends if you want to talk and have him as just Lord Zarack who was a Nebulan from G1 Rebirth which really did a large mass shifting to be the head in robot mode OR Zarack from the Japanese Headmasters show which did not air Rebirth and was just a large robot like Cerebros and would transform in Scorponic. I do not remember is he is from Planet Head Master as the Autobots, as I forgot about this from that animated show. Great review though and yes agree this finally matches up to G1 Fortress Maximus 👍

The 80s and 90s were so iconic who would want to grow up and leave all the greatness of the 80s and 90s behind ?

This didn’t feel like an hour and a half to be honest, stellar review mate

You got me at that Sparta kick! Brilliant! Mine’s on pre-order, looking forward to it.

I saw one of these at Target. Didn't have the funds at the time. By next week, when I scraped the cash together, I went back to that same Target, and it was gone! Good Lord, was I disappointed!

Good to see you get him. It was funny seeing you hold his head in your hand and how they're almost the same size. Hes absolutely massive.

Insane articulation and pose ability for a bot this size. Great review!

He really is a cool toy, he's so big that I can shake it's hand like I shake a businessman's hand!! Also, the little butt plates can clip into place in base mode, giving him a flat surface.

Mike, I know you were super pumped to get this one and I am glad you were able good brother!👍😁. He looks AWESOME! Love the size, the color and the overall look of this one.👍

I am definitely going to have to pick this G1 Earthrise Scorponok! Thank you for reviewing this, Michael!

From the front with the horns on big zarak back They look like an orange cape I also personally call the big zarak omega zarak

Simply awesome!!! That is one heck of a Transformer! Looks great, colors look cool, and the size. I think it's cool that he's just that much shorter than Metroplex, heroes usually stand taller than the villains. Plus it makes him look a bit like the underdog. Great review Mr Mercy!!! NERDMASTE'!!!!

We could say this every week but it seems appropriate this week. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into these Michael.

My wish list for third company upgrade kit includes: 2 - 4 more of those shoulder cannons 1 - 3 more sets of the effects parts A gun that can become an extension for the stringer. And optionally, a spear, since the spear that fast track turns into is total garbage.

Scorponok is sight to behold. Pictures and videos are great but you can't truly appreciate him until you see him with your own eyes. $159 could've easily been $250 and I would've paid it, it's that awesome.

Noice love this vid also wired that there is three scorpinok g1 beast wars and movie

I need Scorponok in my collection now! Very well done!

Scorponok doing the splits is the most cursed thing and yet it’s also very blessed.

I found three of these at a Target and the boxes were all perfect.

Michael when you first took scorponok out of the box I had a flashback to the 70s of opening a shogun warrior!

One of the best made modern titan, imo. Especially the zarak version.

My friend had Scorponok. Man i remeber being very envious. Then i got that Autobot battelbase and was like booyah!

When ever I think of scorpinock from transformers I usually think of beast wars scorpinock first but then I think of this guy afterwards

Awesome video, Michael Mercy that’s the video I’ve requested to you because you have Fortress Maximus and Metroplex

Mike, I caved brother!😂😂😂. This one came back up for preorder on BBTS and I ordered one.😁

Been wanting this since the first reveal of the pototype head. Scorponok is a very impressive figure. My only gripe is thst the visor on the head should be translucent to show the detailed eyes underneath. Otherwise, a great addition to the collection.

Incredible figure, hope to get one soon

Incredible Review, great piece. I was looking at the blast effects, and maybe you can plug them in each other to make a big blast.

I LOVE IT!! The mid-level "Cerebros" head is the coolest thing ever!!! I wanted that when I was a kid. In the Japanese Headmasters series, Zarak is the size of Galvatron, so this brilliantly explains that. My God. I'm in love. So cool!!!! The Cerebros should be named Mega-Zarak. It's not a new character, it's just a robot body for Zarak to fit in with his new allies, the Decepticons!!!

Fasttrack is a wave 3 deluxe that turns into tons of weapons main one being a spear.

Love your videos!!! Please keep it up!! You have helped me through some hard times. Listening to your stuff, reminds me of my childhood so much. I’m 42 and still have original 84 poster plus toys, lunch boxes, thermoses. Thank you again!

I saw the time for the video. Me this is going to be great

I really started getting back into the transformers this year especially with all the siege in the earthrise stuff it's just really amazing and the new show was just awesome but this scorpinoc just brings me back to being a kid I didn't have one but my friend did and that thing was just awesome he was a spoiled friend he had all the great stuff

Don't know if you've heard, but some images leaked online for a titan class ark. No one knows if it'll transform into something, but it's cool that we will finally get an ark playset.

To be fair, Fortress was bigger than Scorponok on both the g1 cartoon and headmasters anime.About the missing parts, I can see Perfect effect repainting their Fortress gun and making the extra shoulder guns and bigger shield, maybe even the missing base mode bits, nice review!

What a journey! Thank you so much Michael! Made my Saturday night!

Really appreciate the detailed G1 comparisons! Most people do a quick size comparison and that's all!

The Scorpion legs can fold into the place where you kept the head in base mode and if you want to,you can just transform the head and display him as zarak and then you can hide the legs and you don't have to leave the head aside.

I had collected three titan class figures from the War For Cybertron trilogy: 1. Siege Omega Supreme (2019) 2. Earthrise Scorponok (2020 - we are under quarantine at that time!) 3. Kingdom Ark (2021) I want to try and compare Earthrise Scorponok next to Titans Return Fortress Maximus just like in the 1987 Sunbow G1 cartoon final episode. Scorponok only spoke one line: "NOW AUTOBOT... DIE!!!" It's quite a memorable experience.

GOOD LORD!!!! That thing's a beast! G i g a n t i c thanks for turning me on to BBTS. Fantastic toys store. Great video too!

what a time to be alive

Wish they release the masterpiece scorponok version soon. Awesome design!

He arrived with skylynx from BBTS for me about a month ago. Was fun messing with them both.

Another awesome review.

This is so awesome, man!!! WOW!! I love it!!!!!!

I love your sound editing bro

'Puh-Prime...? Did...did...kuuu...I do...Good?' 'Yes, old friend...you did Good...' This gargantuan toy certainly looks like it does justice to the original Lord Zarak/Scorponok who had one of the most fascinating character arcs in all of the Marvel G1 comics, going from Zarak's beginnings as a misguided Nebulan patriot being corrupted by the sheer bloodthirsty power that he gained through merging with Scorponok, until finally his underlying inferiority complex due to being, at heart, just a puny Fleshling underneath it all would ultimately drive him to what I still say is one of the most touching deaths in all of Transformers fiction to date, and certainly the most heroic Decepticon death of all time...and what's more, a rare Marvel G1 death in that it took place with nary a cosmically-powered Starscream in sight, yes?! (In fact, I brought a very nifty piece of artwork based upon Marvel Scorponok's final moments drawn by artist John-Paul Bove at a convention here in the UK a couple of years back, and I highly recommend it - click bove.bigcartel.com/product/on-the-edge-of-extinction-poster to see it for yourselves, yes?) PS: One of my favourite G1 Scorponok moments apart from his epic death might be his appearance in 'Aspects of Evil', where his sheer cunning puts the Autobots in a classic no-win situation (see tfwiki.net/wiki/Aspects_of_Evil! for more...).

Your shipping review of Big Bad Toy store left out an important part. When I bought it today it was about $150 less than it was on Amazon and Walmart. Awesome store and always worth the time to check out their prices.

EPIC REVIEW MICHAEL MERCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Scorponok has the same blast effects that were sold with Siege Jetfire. :D I like to combine the blast effects and attach them to Scorponok's stinger in scorpion mode. :D Thank you for this fantastic video, keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D

Mr. Mercy! I dunno if you know this but that decoder play feature is part of a bigger map that each earthrise figure comes with! The lines next to the set of "the ark, nemesis, quintesson, etc" are meant to be a key of their paths on the map.

I love the sound effects lol

Man I really want this guy now!

My favorite transformer as a kid was always Soundwave mostly because of his cassette compadres and because mine was a 1 to 1 scale of a cassette player but I always wanted all the titan class robots because of how giant they were and how they are like play sets for transformers that are transformers, and I never was and still am not able to afford it so I'm loving the reviews, it's fun to imagine having the toys I've never been able to get

What a awesome transformer. Love this guy when I was a kid. Awesome review 👍👍

Magnificent and impressive figure ! Congratulations for the acquisition my friend!

Your g1 skorponok looks brand new

Awesome video. Michael you are the best!!!

We are going to need a bigger autbot around here

There is a fast track that can transformers into his sword

Hi Michael, excellent video and don't worry at all about the scales because you think that the Scorponok g1 toy was already smaller than the Fortress g1 and apart from that in the cartoon Scorponok appears first and then Spike creates Fortress to confront him and incidentally made it more gigantic. So everything is fine. greetings, thank you.😉

His hand looks as big as your own hand. Wow! I wonder if he could hold G1 Megatron in gun mode. I also think someone out there would do a stop motion video where he transforms another toy.

In my opinion the most impressive thing about this figure is that his hands are the size of human hands. Its insane.

Unfinished business ✔️ Great transformers✔️ Fantastic review✔️✔️✔️ Great review Michael 😁

I added the Target Masters/ Battle masters guns to give him fire power in base mode LOL

I hear that the new Fasttrack toy from Earthrise can transform into a spear for Scorpinok, and said spear is modeled after Black Zarak’s spear as well.

“LEFT CHEEK! LEFT CHEEK!” Oh wait, wrong Scorponok.

Epic! The toy and the review!

Omg flipping sick man love him was my favorite as kid still have my original here at home ❤️

🔍👀...Yep...that's🤖big...🤘🏼💯✔️

I'm planning on getting this figure for my birthday this year in June from entertainment earth

Michael you gotta get Earthrise Optimus it is the BEST Optimus toy i think

Awesome Video!!! This an amazing figure and I'm glad you reviewed it! Just as a heads up, Fasttrack is coming out at retail with Earthrise wave 3 (in October) and he can Transfrom from Robot, to Buggie (that mini Zarack can ride) to spear for Scorponok.

Just curious when will history of trsnsformers 1987 edition be released?

I think you should do a review on g1 fortress Maximus

I have had my Scorponok for 3 years and never noticed the feet fold out 🤣🤣🤣

Love this. Hope to get one ourselves.

Really captures late G1 feel.

Got him he’s great and pretty big

53:10 Blasters built into their arms, just like ................. they who shall not be named.

Yeeeeeesss!!!!... awesome!

Are you going to get siege omega supreme?

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. So much goodines I'm my Scroponok!!!!✌🏾❤️

Bought it today!

I also used a second Brunt to make claws in the base mode like the G1

He sure is a big and Chunky boi

Now we just need Fasttrack to go with him. And maybe a new Weaponizer figure that turns into his gun.

They've already released Fastrack for pre order on Hasbro Pulse. They did a really nice job. Keep it up Michael! Love your channel. Nerdmaste!
