This creation spent the longest time without a head!
RECAP!
LEGO set 31130: Sunken Treasure Mission was released in the year 2022, and I managed to purchase this set the following year.
Early last year (2024) , I built TF:One Optimus Prime /Orion Pax using set 31130 (video tutorial below). I loved it so much that I kept it intact for the rest of that year!
ABOUT SCORPONOK
Scorponok is a character from G1 Transformers cartoon series. He turns into a mechanical scorpion and a huge base too!
I've built a few Scorponok using LEGO sets and prior to this project, I published one using set 31129 (video tutorial below)
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
This project was initiated concurrently with Scorponok (set 31129) above and progressed pretty quickly within a week until I hit a wall..... I don't know how to build the head!
So it was cast aside for more than 2 months, in favor of new projects . During those period, I occasionally took this project out once a week or so to try improve it a bit but having little luck with the head until recently..

Yep... he only has 6 legs compared to typical 8.
One of the finishing touches to this project was bulking up the stinger with 2 jumper parts.
...and also applied the red, pointy rounded parts on the pincers.
TRANSFORMATION
Note how the robot legs are connected to the scorpion body via brackets.
Untab legs from the brackets. And further steps are pretty simple and no-brainer... so I won't be showing them here.
ROBOT MODE
Pretty skinny compared to the actual character/toy.
"BASE" MODE
I didn't plan for a base mode from the get-go. The following were conjured on the fly while photoshoot was taking place.
