Title:
Scorponok BTR
Description:
Scorponok (Built to Rule!, 2004)
Accessories: Missile
Part of the Built to Rule! Energon assortment, Scorponok is based around a larger, more solid "Trans-Skeleton” than the prior Armada kits. He can be built into a robotic scorpion-tank-thing with a gear-driven stinger attack. He can be "transformed” by disassembling him completely, converting the core Trans-Skeleton to robot mode, then putting some of the parts back on. (The stock imagery of Scorponok shows more parts on his robot mode than the actual pack-in instructions tell you to add.) In both modes, the stinger contains a spring-loaded missile launcher activated by a sliding mechanism, which also swings smaller blasters forward, just like the original Energon toy has.
Unfortunately, due to the aggressively poor performance of the Built to Rule! line overall, the Energon versions only had a limited, test-market release initially in and around Cincinnati, Ohio. The sets later filtered out into many clearance chains —including Tuesday Morning, TJ Maxx, and Ollie’s— at drastically reduced prices.
Scorponok’s long fang/claw pieces and 1x4 gear-tooth plate would later pop up in some Kre-O sets.
