Terrorcon leader Scorponok. With Divebomb perched upon him, in the vague analogy to a parrot sitting atop a pirate's shoulder-board. I think. Anyway, Energon Scorponok is a superb toy and deserves a place in any Transformers collection. The figure is not only a G1 homage (based upon the Headmaster Scorponok, of course) but also reminds me of the Transmetals from Beast Wars - it has a beast mode (kind of) and a third 'vehicle' form which is basically the beast mode contorted slightly awkwardly. In addition, the scorpion mode isn't *really* Beastly. It's a strange combination of scorpion and an almost streampunk construction vehicle. I'm reminded there of the Vehicon toys - and I mean the toys, not the TV show animation models - from Beast Machines, many of which were vehicles with a Beast influence (e.g. the insectoid design of Thrust)
