For SCORPONOK, honor and duty came before all else in his quest to see his adopted home world reborn. The opposed philosophies of DECEPTICON and AUTOBOT meant little to him except as means by which the warring factions might be manipulated to his ends.

He eventually sacrificed his life in the final apocalyptic battle that saw the return of his living world to the Universe.
