Transformers War for Cybertron Earth Rise Titan Scorponok

Ever since I stumbled into Transformers last year, thanks to a chance encounter with Blokees.I’ve been hunting for worthy additions to my growing collection. As a lifelong mecha fanboy, my sweet spots have always been the Combiners and the big, imposing titan-class characters. Naturally, names like Trypticon and Fortress Maximus grabbed my attention early on. But a recent turn of events led me toward another iconic giant: Scorponok.

And as it happens, one of the best modern renditions of this massive Decepticon comes from Hasbro’s War for Cybertron: Earthrise line.

Released in 2020 with a $200 USD SRP, the Earthrise Scorponok is truly a behemoth. I usually don’t gravitate toward Hasbro releases, but a lucky Black Friday encounter last month changed everything. Standing over 40 cm tall, Scorponok is an absolute centerpiece figure complete with three transformation modes, including the one that instantly hooked me: a mobile fortress. I’m a total sucker for fortress or base-form mecha due to growing up with micro machines, so this checked all the boxes.

With a bit of help (and a very fortunate deal), I managed to secure one at a great price. Now I’m eagerly waiting to get this giant in hand someday soon. I hope to find a proper Fortress Maximus and Trypticon to stand proudly alongside this massive scorpion battle-fortress.
