Scorpulator
From Transformers Wiki
- Scorpulator is a Decepticon Action Master partner from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Scorpulator matches his partner Devastator perfectly. Both are near-mindless engines of destruction who wade into the thick of battle, attacking without reason or any strategy more complicated than "destroy everything". Be it with claws, lasers or acid, Scorpulator lives to fight.

- Devastator with Scorpulator (Action Master, 1990)
- Known designers: Masakatsu Saito (concept artist)
- Part of the second assortment of individually-carded Action Masters, released in the seventh and final year of The Transformers in the US (sixth and not-final in Europe), Scorpulator is a robotic scorpion with a partially-spring-loaded transformation into an "acid spray gun" mode that can be held by any Action Master figure. His gun barrel can be extended by attaching the handgun from any carded Action Master. His tail also features a peg-hole that allows any normal Action Master gun to be mounted there, though the tail tends to droop even without the extra weight of another gun.
- Scorpulator's legs are a completely separate sinlge "block" piece held onto his main body only by a plastic peg. This peg is roughly 5 mm thick, the size of the Action Master figures' "backpack" hole, letting his legs act in that capacity while he's in cannon mode.
- He was only available packed in with his larger partner Devastator.
Notes
- In Dreamwave's More than Meets the Eye profile series, every Action Master partner robot profiled was retroactively given the "Targetmaster" classification, though the partners to characters who had previous, non-Action Master toys (like Devastator) were omitted from the books' lineup. However, the across-the-board application of the Targetmaster term for those that did appear makes a pretty clear inference that all of the Action Master partner-bots are Targetmasters... at least, as far as the Dreamwave universe is concerned.
