Prompt #48 - Scorponok
No points awarded for last week.
It's time for another character prompt, writers, and this week it's all about Prompt 48: Scorponok! Get ready for some brownnosing, technology-abusing, pincer-clacking fun, and watch out for those cyberbees.
During his short tenure under Megatron's command, Scorponok proved himself to be something of a rarity: a Predacon with a sense of loyalty. He is Megatron's staunchest supporter and second-in-command, even getting his commander out of a bad jam or two when certain less loyal soldiers get a temporary upgrade. When not polishing Megatron's aft plate or getting so excited that he gets a touch of the Waspinator-speech, he often turns his claws to building weapons and equipment to give the Predacons an advantage - even if their reliability is somewhat doubtful. Sadly, the Predacons' original scorpion gets dumped in the lava at the end of Season 1, forever robbing us of his story and his future - and that, minions, is where you come in.
This week, explore - or make up - all things Scorponok. How did he meet Megatron? What does he hope to gain in his leader's new empire? What goes on, and goes wrong, in that workshop of his? His relationships with the other Predacons seem to be chilly at best, but when things go pear-shaped, he'll have to be the reliable one...
O fic, where is thy sting? It's in 100 words.
