the scorpion is armed with a .30 caliber machine gun on the tail, a circular (diamond-bladed)saw on the left "arm", two anti-tank/mech missiles in pods, and a taser gun using two electrodes. the taser can be set to "low", delivering an incapitating 50,000 volts, or to "high", a lethal 90,000 volts. the right-hand "arm" can drop the taser when expended and grab another weapon, usually whatever's lying around at the time. there is another camera next to the machine gun, enabling the mech to "see" where the gun is shooting.it has carbon-fiber and Kevlar armor, making it lightweight and bulletproof. the six powerful legs can also climb trees if needed.
About this creation
i built this while looking at photos of a real emperor scorpion for reference!
the machine gun

pincers and claws are so old fashioned. and they can't even cut through titanium!

sorry about the distracting shadows.

This is quite impressive! I really like the way you used the minifg legs; really creative! Oh btw the cannon on the tail tip is awesome! Can't wait to see more of your stuff! |

Great use of parts. I like the legs (the legs of the scorpion and the ones on the back). |

wow slow down. I need a time to process. ok now I'm readdy. Oh my god that is one good looking techno scorpion. It must have been hard to make. How long did it take you to build? really cool. :-)
it took me a night and the morning of one day, i think. i posted it in the afternoon. frusturatingly, i spent most of the morning looking for another buzz-saw piece. i couldn't find one (i know i have more than one!) so i googled "taser" and attached one instead. |

Really nice and innovative part usage for this. It looks menacing and beautiful at the same time. |
