I've bin using Scorponok for a long time now, and I was thinking he's A really useful figure. Even if his effect doesn't fit in with every team unless theres Insecticons, he can still knock over a Omega Sentinel by grabbing the bottom of his knee joint and flipping him over. Thus knocking over plenty of figures while leaving the arena's boundaries.

Yes, it's been said many times that he is arguably the best figure in the Transformers line.
I wonder how many more figures they will make with that manuel attack?

I'm not so sure I'd call it the best figure in the line, even if I can't say from experience since nobody has one where I play. A figure is more than just its attack. Defense matters, though I would guess Scorponok's defense is quite good. Special powers matter as well, and while two Insecticons are nice, it doesn't compare with 60% or better recover, or something like Ki-Adi-Mundi. A truly great striker should be either really hard to kill, or have a potentially game breaking effect at a decent percentage. A decent chance for two 10pt troopers isn't quite at that level. |

He is very good, if you can get him where you want him before he's tipped. The last two games I've played with him, he never made it that far. Even with his big base, he's so light he was tipped by small missiles before he ever fired a shot. Further, in the 6 games I've used him, he's never tipped white.
Good? yes. Too good? no.

He does have a defensive stance. You sort of twist his body to the right and have his right arm resting on the ground, with his left side tucked behind him. This makes him much harder to knock over. |

I just tested your strategy Phoenix and now I realize he is not to strong but he is a great figure.
