Scorponok Miner

Description
"What is that?"
"I don't know. We need air support and we need it now. Roll in strike package Bravo on unknown target."
- US Secretary of Defense and Pentagon military commander upon viewing Scorponok battling SOCCENT base survivors in Qatar via Predator drone feed. - Transformers (2007.) (I like how this is reminiscent of Ironhide in "The Ultimate Doom Pt.3)

I've been itching to do more transformer inspired constructions for a while and finally got around to completing the final touches on some. This is my first 'Bay-former,' and likely the only one I'll do (though I may do Megatron as a Cybertronian tank and jet from Revenge of the Fallen.) Based on Scorponok from Transformers (2007,) it is not made for battle, but rather for mining and digging under the enemy to surprise them. It doesn't dig through perfectly and can get stuck (I think it's the hover engines pushing the body up and wedging the tail.) But with a bit of practice, persistence and wiggling around, it does work. It's also made to work with a drilling turret on the tail. I haven't put this on to keep the build level lower (it's a level 10 with a Tier 2 CPU.)
There is a fair bit of harvester box storage, holding about 1000 units (I tested crushed stone.) There are plenty of hover engines to keep it afloat and level when filled. There are no weapons, but there is an ammo container and a gatling gun will fit under the chin nicely. The twin large drills drain the fuel quickly so there are a fair few fuel tanks.
It hasn't a great speed (20 m/s when empty,) nor maneuver greatly, but it's suitable for a miner.

The pic is to show what the inspiration of the blueprint is, not what it looks like. Most blueprints can't look exactly like what people imitate in E:GS due to the games limitations. I don't believe the conversation and challenge in the comments below is a stain. So many people leave negative ratings and claim things can be done better all over social media just to be trolls. And even if they feel they are serious, they can't back up their claims and I'm happy to call them out on it.

haha biggest clickbait thumbnail, had me clicking so fast. I still loved it thou, too bad the nasty drama on the comment section is leaving a stain on it.

1 month, no blueprint - no surprise.

All I can encourage you to do is put your money where your mouth is and make a Bay-former Scorponok yourself. See if you can get it to look just like it does in the movies while still being practical to mine and dig underground seamlessly as it does in the movies. I'll be generous and give you a month. If not done by then I'll assume you gave up. Good hunting to you.

Next time I try to build the Juggernaut from the Alien Movie Saga, it looks really difficult to made I think but why not testing it, Creativ mode is there to test ourself !!

i dont speak about the SR-71 to say its easier as your Scorponok. You missunderstood me. I take it just as example that the time you take to build something is everytime important. That's all. How long time did you spend on your model to be curious. Like I said before I never say your project was easy. Please don't take my words wrong. I just speak about invested time in construction that's all.
At the moment i never try to build a scavenger vehicle, but it could be a nice try to make this Scorponok.

The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is an EXTREMELY simple design and shape to copy. It's hull is solid, and colour is black. It has no texturing. A 5 year old could do one on E:GS in their sleep. The Bay-former Scorponok has a lattice-mesh tail, moving parts, it can dig/slide underground, it has missiles shooting from it's 'claws,' the 'claws' have protrusions that twist and grab things, two rows of 'teeth,' four eyes, and the list goes on. There is no possibility of recreating such a design on E:GS while keeping it practical. If you think you can, please show me.

you can make it i think, perso i prefer too to build something which works, but i find the look is important to take the time. My Sr-71 is a good example which I made for many days, it looks much more realistic as the other from the workshop because i take many days to think about and create it ! it was just an advice personally.

It's impossible to make it exactly as the movie version, the blocks and textures don't exist. The idea is to get a practical facsimile that does the job, which is: "for mining and digging under the enemy." if I were to go to the extreme of making it look exactly like the movie, it would be huge, completely impractical, and it would need a lot more drills (which it then wouldn't look like the product you attempt to describe.) I don't make blueprints that are only for show and completely unusable in the game. If I want to look at some pretty structure, land vehicle, or space craft which is unusable in the game, I can get a wallpaper for my desktop. Why waste the time making it? So people can go "OOOOHHHH, AAAAHHH!" ? I have better things to do, like make practical blueprints :steamhappy:

dont looks like this in the movie sorry but from style it could be much more better i think, yes its a long work to achieve it but better. This one is much more waste of time.
Little advice for the future take the time to make it better. Not important how many days you build on it. End result is important.
