What I think happened was megatron naturally called dibs on fighting prime, then scorponok figured he could take him, so he tried, and megatron took offense to it
Love these reviews! Thanks for taking time and money out of your day to bring us such well detailed and well made review with great humor and personality in them!! You are a great inspiration man!
@@Batcow7735 it was in the Marvel comics when Scorponok first betrayed Lord Megatron. No-one takes over the Decepticon Empire while Megatron still functions and gets away with it...
Man, among all these Titan class Transformers coming out recently, Fortress Maximus really got the short end of the stick mold-wise. Poor guy is basically the only that heavily uses remolded parts
I remember watching your videos when I was really young as a mexican kid, not really understanding much, and seeing the old videos that I used to watch on repeat every day and the new ones gives me such a nostalgic and happy feeling. It's great, thank you 😔🤙
This couldn't have come at a better time - I picked up this large gentleman myself today at a Target when I was out shopping for the first time in months! Really happy with him.
Me: looks at BigBadToyStore a few days after making the comment. Looks and sees a two part upgrade kit for Earthrise Scorponok. Me: OH, COME ON!!!! I was just joking!!
Emgo I just wanted to say thank you so much for making these videos. When I was super little I would watch you all the time and still do, and you are the reason I got in to transformers! I just wanted to just thank you for making these videos and making me laugh so much over the years. Keep up the amazing work!
Probably did intend to shoot Scorponok, as during Rebirth Zarak tried to upsurp Galvatron and then by the Headmasters anime he took full control when Galvatron kicked the bucket.
The notches in the palm of his hands, at the base of his fingers, have a purpose. The fins on the handle of Shockwaves gun mode fit perfectly into the slots, enabling Scorponok to wield him very securely. I wish I could share pics with you!
In the G1 American Cartoon, Scorponok came at the tail end of the series. Galvatron merely tolerated Zarak, because he had the key to the plasma energy chamber. Megatron might not have an alliance with Zarak and thus him and the Decepticons fighting would make sense.
I had been waiting on this review all week after I got the ship notification on my preorder. Stayed up last night to watch it. Loved the review. Got mine this morning and have been messing with it all day. Awesome Titian figure
just picked up black zarak and came here to see how to transform him. the quick skit at the start was great lol.....quick look at scorponok and then "i quit" lololol:) keep up the awesome work brother love the vids:)
The hwadmaster’s name for Scorponok is Zarak. We first heard of him in the season 4 rebirth trilogy mini series, but was more famously known in the Japanese G1 exclusive series The Headmasters.
I imagine that there's gonna be an upgrade kit sooner or later for this guy that gives him his gun, maybe better hip ratchets, possibly a bigger shield, and a gun or sword for Lord Zarak.
Scorponok can bloooosh and also smooosh with those claws! I like base mode but seeing the TM seat where it is, it looks like an epic throne for Mini-Zarak. Great and also entertaining review as always! :)
Great review!! Great upgrade to the G1 toy!! Hopefully, a third party will give him his orange big gun and 2 more of the shoulder cannons. I'm wondering how battle master Fasttrack will interact with him
Mine came in yesterday and I love it. The hip joint ratchets on mine are pretty tight but the shoulder ratchets are pretty loose. If I try to raise the arms in front, the weight of his giant hands makes them fall. Probably why he doesn't have a gun.
i had this as a lad, transformers the ribirth the laast g1/2 content before takar, always loved zarak for putting Galvatron in his place in the last rebirth cartoons... we shall see Galvatron we shall see
The answer for the cover art (if any one wants to know) is in the headmaster cartoon. I can see a lot of people taking this guy and painting him up to bring out those details. Also do we want to place bets on which 3rd part company gets his missing bits out in a kit first?
I would love it if a 3rd party company would release a upgrade kit for this guy that gives him his gun and extra base mode parts like the g1 toy had to really make the base mode more lively
Fast-Track has a spear mode (akin to Black Zarak's spear) so we'll actually have a use for the shield. I'm waiting for a 3P to make an upgrade set with a two-piece rifle that can become towers for base mode and two additional dual-cannons.
Why did I suddenly get Arty Ziff from the Simpsons doing the Can-Can in my head at this point in the video, 6:10 ? And another question, are all of those circles on the purple panel BLOOSH points? Just wondering.
0:55 there was actually a truce between the autobots and decepticons, they teamed up in an effort to defeat scorponok, who was defending his ship. As for his figure being listed as a decepticon, well they couldn't just call him "unaligned" could they?
there are 3 upgrade kits for this now,two of them are guns and stuff and new one was announced to come out in august,the third one willl make him taller.
Interesting that they didn’t/couldn’t include some G1 Scorponok features, like the “strumming” leg motion when he rolls in scorpion mode, or the button that launches Fasttrack down the ramp in base mode. And I’m sure 3rd parties are already working on the orange gun and its grey attachment.
I always considered the Titian Class figures as cool toys I don't really want. But as someone who see's a lot of scorpions yearly, I feel like I need this!
At this point, all five cartoon city formers have finally been updated. But where does Hasbro go from there on Titan-class wise? Aside from a bunch of repaints there's only one giant left out of the G1 cartoon line that needs to have an updated toy, and I think we all know who that would have to be, but the question is, could Hasbro pull it off, as he would have to be even bigger than a base former to make him work and it would probably be the most expensive figure of all time. It would also be the unthinkable.
I was thinking I might not get this one as it;s a bit outside my budget, but after all the reviews I have seen showing it off I am now saving every penny I can find to snatch it up lol!
Hmm so the Map has something called Fool's Fortune... could either be an asteroid belt which contains the cosmic rust disease, or perhaps a ship... maybe Devcon's?
Wasn't sure if I wanted to get this, because I had picked up Omega Supreme a while back and I only have so much self space, not to mention that I would have to pick up Titans Return Fortress Maximus so that I would have his opposite. But after seeing this, and knowing my comic store has a Fort Max on the back room... Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a second shelf installed on my room.
On the box the reason Megatron was shooting skorpinch was because in the earth wars Series the auto bots decepticons were working together to defeat skorpinch
Sort of wish the barrels on the gun could angle instead of being a solit piece, so I could pose him standing menacingly with the shoulder guns pointed at whoever he's staring at.... assuming I could ever afford this thing, which I cant.
Even though he doesn't have an official name, my personal headcanon is that the tiny Titan Master is Zarak and the bigger body is Mega Zarak, with the whole thing forming Scorponok's head.
Same. You’re keeping a mix between his Rebirth self and Headmasters self, with the small dude being the Nebulan and the larger body being his Transtector, and the names reflect that.
4:15
"He can roll, as scorpions should. Hooray for giant rolling scorpions of death."
I died.
Sorry for your loss
I love that you essentially made him a giant 4-year-old.
Nick on Planet Ripple you like transformers?
@@gunner_65 Yes.
Nick on Planet Ripple nice to see you here.
@@NickonPlanetRipple Does that mean transformer rewind, eh?
You now have a stack of likes
But now, for the question everyone wants answered: "Can he fit in Prime's trailer?"
People beat you that joke sooooooooo long ago
however, thou not knoweth, mayhaps he will
@@emgo316
Like most people beat me to this video.
Part of my binging your vids.
And...
No, he won’t fit. :(
Hey i just tried and it fit lmao
@@harbinger_rest ha!
Awesome.
I love that the scorpion mode just looks like a dude doing a weird yoga pose, this guy's just a reminder that G1 was pretty wild
Omg it Actualy does look like a weird yoga pose
Another proof that simplicity doesn't always means bad
HEY don't do that!!
haha Oh no, now I can't unsee it!! And I really thought Scorponok was so cool :(
@@mayena5735 nooooo I'm so sorry 🥺
1:05 there is a simple answer. Megatron was like "nobody kills Optimus but me"
What I think happened was megatron naturally called dibs on fighting prime, then scorponok figured he could take him, so he tried, and megatron took offense to it
Or Scorponok's trying to take over the Decepticons again and Meg's wasn't having it this time!
Think he was hitting somebody behind?
It's probably even simpler:
See G2 and Megatron vs Jhiaxus.
There is only one Decepticon Commander, and he takes orders from nobody.
@@phillipwattsjr.4714 I like point of view. I always see scorponok as trying to force himself into being the next leader of the decepticons.
"hooray for rolling scorpions"
Very normal
indeed
and bloosh
How dare you accuse him of being normal?
@Random man Emgo is SO important, he deserves two typos.
emgo316 or maybe it is a hidden plot point for the WCF show
Love these reviews! Thanks for taking time and money out of your day to bring us such well detailed and well made review with great humor and personality in them!! You are a great inspiration man!
Much appreciated!
emgo316 yea man! We all appreciate you as well! Thank you!
32:27 you should pose Scorponok of he holding a mascot since he want to quit...
“I quit” -Mascot 2020
my brain has shrank from this comment ._.
Mascot has been around for 10 yrs? wow color me impressed . also this scorpinok must have cost an arm and a leg with how big he is.
@Sho Ken *colors you vibrant colors*
@@Huevito847 i didn't mean literally lol
@Sho Ken yes I know that. *h u m o r*
I think Lord Megatron was getting revenge on Scorponok for HIS betrayal in the Marvel Comics...
*IDW
@@Batcow7735 it was in the Marvel comics when Scorponok first betrayed Lord Megatron. No-one takes over the Decepticon Empire while Megatron still functions and gets away with it...
yes the BETRAYAL!
I was going to say, I suspect that Megatron is trying to fight Scorponok, presumably because he is attempting to take over the Decepticons
@Samuel Lorenzo Simanjuntak good for megs he deserves a break
Man, among all these Titan class Transformers coming out recently, Fortress Maximus really got the short end of the stick mold-wise. Poor guy is basically the only that heavily uses remolded parts
Well, at least he's now the tallest Transformer again!
And hey, Scorponok's now just as tall as him!
I remember watching your videos when I was really young as a mexican kid, not really understanding much, and seeing the old videos that I used to watch on repeat every day and the new ones gives me such a nostalgic and happy feeling. It's great, thank you 😔🤙
That name... thats a great username
I still have my G1 Scorponok in my parent's attic. Will definitely grab this update when I come across it. Thanks for a proper review!
This couldn't have come at a better time - I picked up this large gentleman myself today at a Target when I was out shopping for the first time in months! Really happy with him.
Earthrise Scorponok: doesn't have his gun.
Third party developers: challenge accepted!!!!
Me: looks at BigBadToyStore a few days after making the comment. Looks and sees a two part upgrade kit for Earthrise Scorponok.
Me: OH, COME ON!!!! I was just joking!!
Just imagine. This was suppose to be the Titan class figure a couple years ago but Trypticon stole his thunder
Oh seems like someone guessed
At the end we got all the candidates.
I love the fact that Zarak's body is designed to look identical to his original toy while his headmaster is designed to look like his cartoon model.
"Can he do the fill split. Yes he can, and then some"
I laughed my head off while rolling around on the floor. This was hilarious to me.
33:33 He looks like Hulk handing over a taco.
I've been waiting on this review for a while and it has finally come
First time hearing a, "Big ole Triple Blooosh!!!" Lord Zarak's upgrade was a pleasant surprise. Great figure with plenty of details! @8:36
I really enjoy the sound effects you put into the videos, makes everything more hilarious and brings happiness.
"Maybe he was aiming for Prime and just missed."
I don't know why but this made lol

You’re welcome!
Holy crap finally a emgo video that have spanish subtitles too thanks man you got a lot of fans from LATAM they will appreciate this!
Nah, Megatron didn't miss. If anyone's gonna kill Optimus, Megatron wants to be the one to watch the light fade from his eyes
Its all over Prime
Probably did intend to shoot Scorponok, as during Rebirth Zarak tried to upsurp Galvatron and then by the Headmasters anime he took full control when Galvatron kicked the bucket.
Not ta mention they hate eachother so thats another incentive to shoot him
isn’t it obvious? Megaton won’t let anyone kill Optimus, or conquer Cybertron/Earth, but himself
The notches in the palm of his hands, at the base of his fingers, have a purpose. The fins on the handle of Shockwaves gun mode fit perfectly into the slots, enabling Scorponok to wield him very securely. I wish I could share pics with you!
Bay verse scorpinok: 👉👈
G1 Scorpinok: 💪💪
Can we take a moment to appreciate that skit? That was just gold, good job Emgo, lmao.
In the G1 American Cartoon, Scorponok came at the tail end of the series. Galvatron merely tolerated Zarak, because he had the key to the plasma energy chamber. Megatron might not have an alliance with Zarak and thus him and the Decepticons fighting would make sense.
I can imagine Scorponok went out of control and wrecking everyone (even the Decepticons), and Megatron is trying to take him under control.
Me too
Scorponok calm yourself!!!
1:00
Megatron: No one kills Prime but me! ☝😡
It looks like he has Prime's legs on his chest.
goldennightmare like a boss like a boss I can’t unsee it
Its weird
Holy cow you're right
wait what, what do you mean
"I wish he had his gun," you say? I can only imagine there'll be third party creators to the rescue soon.
Could not wait for you to do the Scorponok review! You have became my favorite reviewer of Transformers.
I do like the fact the box art of him holding Optimus scales with the figure pretty much. COOL!
Awesome review. I love how much fun you have with the blooshing. It always cracks me up.
Hi emgo! Your videos always make my day keep up the amazing work ❤
I had been waiting on this review all week after I got the ship notification on my preorder. Stayed up last night to watch it. Loved the review. Got mine this morning and have been messing with it all day. Awesome Titian figure

Think it callback number times he tried overthrow Megatron in IDW. 😅
The hwadmaster’s name for Scorponok is Zarak. We first heard of him in the season 4 rebirth trilogy mini series, but was more famously known in the Japanese G1 exclusive series The Headmasters.
I imagine that there's gonna be an upgrade kit sooner or later for this guy that gives him his gun, maybe better hip ratchets, possibly a bigger shield, and a gun or sword for Lord Zarak.
Yay! Megs finally made it to earth! Now all he needs to do is find an earth mode. Should only take him like, four months? Took movie Megs five years.
Underrated comment
Lmao........... I loved his Earth mode (DOTM) which is a Military Mack Truck
I love how the Shield on base mode looks like a face. No matter his mode, he always has a head to spare and stare you down!
Scorponok can bloooosh and also smooosh with those claws! I like base mode but seeing the TM seat where it is, it looks like an epic throne for Mini-Zarak. Great and also entertaining review as always! :)
How are those ankle joints? Seems like a lot of weight on those ankles.
i'm 49 years... i've seen and heard a lot of English words in my life, but you are the first who said: Squozen. I loved it!!
I'm Dutch btw.
Great review!! Great upgrade to the G1 toy!! Hopefully, a third party will give him his orange big gun and 2 more of the shoulder cannons. I'm wondering how battle master Fasttrack will interact with him
Fasttrack will be a spear for him
He's got good detail for such a huge Transformer. Your humor is such a bonus on TH-cam.
Just got this big boy today, and I gotta say, I love him. And how absolutely beefy of a figure he is.
Is it worth £360 though?
Sneaky megs
Always trying to get the upper hand on his “companions”
When I saw that box art I didn't think that the scales would allow for Scorpinok to hold Optimus Prime like that, but boy was I wrong.
One of Scorponok's advantages is that his claws are bigger than the hands of other Titan figures and better designed to grab things.
Maybe megatron shooting scorponok meant that optimus was megatronus kill
I see a just Transform it video and I wait a minute until the official vid releases. Love your content Emgo.
Obligatory comment appreciating the video before I reasonably could have watched it
Mine came in yesterday and I love it. The hip joint ratchets on mine are pretty tight but the shoulder ratchets are pretty loose. If I try to raise the arms in front, the weight of his giant hands makes them fall. Probably why he doesn't have a gun.
i had this as a lad, transformers the ribirth the laast g1/2 content before takar, always loved zarak for putting Galvatron in his place in the last rebirth cartoons... we shall see Galvatron we shall see
Wow. Three ramps and a small central platform. What a fun base mode. Really busted their asses with that one.
Still kicking myself that I couldnt afford Maketoys version when it was available. This guy looks pretty nice for an official release.
My outward hip ratchets are tight
It didn’t really realize how big he was until I saw the comparison to leader Prime. Christ, he’s a BIG boy
The answer for the cover art (if any one wants to know) is in the headmaster cartoon.
I can see a lot of people taking this guy and painting him up to bring out those details. Also do we want to place bets on which 3rd part company gets his missing bits out in a kit first?
I'm disappointed you didn't compare him to tiny movie scorponok, would be like a baby next to him
I would love it if a 3rd party company would release a upgrade kit for this guy that gives him his gun and extra base mode parts like the g1 toy had to really make the base mode more lively
Fast-Track has a spear mode (akin to Black Zarak's spear) so we'll actually have a use for the shield. I'm waiting for a 3P to make an upgrade set with a two-piece rifle that can become towers for base mode and two additional dual-cannons.

For some weird reason i like the Lord Zarak toy much more than Scorponok himself
I love that the boxart is accurate, as he can actually hold Optimus lol
0:55 there was actually a truce between the autobots and decepticons, they teamed up in an effort to defeat scorponok, who was defending his ship. As for his figure being listed as a decepticon, well they couldn't just call him "unaligned" could they?
This came out before the Netflix series aired so we didn’t know this at the time. Obviously we all know what happens now.
there are 3 upgrade kits for this now,two of them are guns and stuff and new one was announced to come out in august,the third one willl make him taller.
I swear Deceptacon gets all the cool model!
The tail definitely need to be longer , to sting
Ever notice that Emgo’s logo looks like Frylock from ATHF but as a human face?
I always felt that the effects parts had two sound effects: When on a jetpack or regular port, yes. Bloosh. But attached to a gun...
MOAR DAKKA
I was literally JUST now made aware that he has toes that fold out from the tips of the feet
Interesting that they didn’t/couldn’t include some G1 Scorponok features, like the “strumming” leg motion when he rolls in scorpion mode, or the button that launches Fasttrack down the ramp in base mode.
And I’m sure 3rd parties are already working on the orange gun and its grey attachment.
Legend says Emgo's biceps grew three sizes during the robot mode size comparisons.....like geez man that looked like quite a workout.
The best Titan Class figure to date by far!!!
I always considered the Titian Class figures as cool toys I don't really want. But as someone who see's a lot of scorpions yearly, I feel like I need this!
Love this figure. Got it 2 weeks ago, and can't leave it alone.
...........
Anyone else think his horns look like LEGO Brick Separators???

If u mean Unicron, he is already getting a toy. Its gonna be stupid expensive though.
I was thinking I might not get this one as it;s a bit outside my budget, but after all the reviews I have seen showing it off I am now saving every penny I can find to snatch it up lol!
I think it’s kinda cute that Megatron acts like a daddy to big ole Scorponok
Whoa a headmaster in a headmaster?! That’s awesome! It’s like you get three transformers in one!
Hmm so the Map has something called Fool's Fortune... could either be an asteroid belt which contains the cosmic rust disease, or perhaps a ship... maybe Devcon's?
I don't need it I don't need it I definitely don't need it I don't need it...... I NEED IT!!!! Fires away like a rocket.
Exact same process here
I have been waiting since G1 for this remake. Finally a Scorponok which can actually go toe-to-toe with Fort. Max.
Jesus Christ. The comparisons. I didn’t realize Trypticon was so damn huge. I haven’t gotten that yet.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind an undersized KO of this. Just have a little purple scorpion buddy on my bedside table.
The moment i saw the upgrade kits by DNA Design go up for sale i had to pre order... I NEED THAT DAMN GUN!
Wasn't sure if I wanted to get this, because I had picked up Omega Supreme a while back and I only have so much self space, not to mention that I would have to pick up Titans Return Fortress Maximus so that I would have his opposite. But after seeing this, and knowing my comic store has a Fort Max on the back room...
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a second shelf installed on my room.
The orange scorponok ears store well on the outsides of the towers in base mode
A great alternative to MakeToys' Pandinus which has more articulation but is twice the price.
Scorponok next to Little Scorponok: “Don’t talk to me OR my son ever again!”
that ending tho **chefs kiss** 👌👌
Oh my favorite titan lord
Scorponok
Just wait until I claim you
You should use the effect parts from the death scene of ironhide and prowl for the tail since it shoots purple in g1
On the box the reason Megatron was shooting skorpinch was because in the earth wars Series the auto bots decepticons were working together to defeat skorpinch
Sort of wish the barrels on the gun could angle instead of being a solit piece, so I could pose him standing menacingly with the shoulder guns pointed at whoever he's staring at.... assuming I could ever afford this thing, which I cant.
