Yo Tankers, check out my 3DJoes 1991 Desert Scorpion page:
Desert Scorpion - 3DJOES I always hated that giant rubber 1991 scorpion. I love the mechanical one from 2004. A couple questions: Can scorpions even grow that big? Do Desert Scorpions train these scorpions as pets? |

I agree a robotic scorpion is about 65-75% more awesome than a normal scorpion, but a giant foot 6 foot cephalothorax to tail scorpion is pretty cool too.

Giant scorpions are cool regardless if they're organic or robotic.
And the '91 scorpion was plastic not rubber.

In the late 80's Mindbender and his crew pushed their efforts towards genetic manipulations, so this is why giant and agressive animals came with more figures. After the success of these experiments and many years, they began to use the key elements on humans. That is what we saw in the Spytroops - VvsV era: very interesting characters with more physical strength than any normal human being, and of course alternations in the looks and different brain activities which came handy if someone wanted to control a robotic scorpion without a joystick.

That scorpion was crazy cool as a kid. I remember playing with it alot because i could 'eat' up the joes. It makes for a good display because you can sit it underneath the front of the paralyzer and it fits nicely ...(oh and just for reference I had the stingray and dog as a kid too, but they were nowhere near as cool as the scorpion!)
