Scorpions are any of 1,400 elongated arachnid species characterized by a segmented curved tail tipped with a venomous stinger at the rear of the body and a pair of grasping pincers at the front. Although scorpions are most common and diverse in deserts, they also live in many other habitats. Primarily nocturnal, scorpions often play the role of evildoers in fables and legends. Greek respect for scorpions prompted the naming of the constellation Scorpius, a sign of the zodiac.

Not car related at all but I was almost finished piecing together my Scorpion and wanted to get a photo of what I have so far.
This scorpion MOC is my final CCC XVII entry, for the "Siege Warfare" category. It was a fun, last minute build which was a great opportunity to try 1) a more muted color scheme than I usually employ, and 2) an irregular border for the entire MOC.
A scorpion is basically a portable ballista. The model is based off the scorpion siege weapon design featured in Age of Empires II.
What better weapon can the scorpion knights use? :)
I build this scorpion for the scene "The Temple Guardian".
I know that scorpions have two more legs but I was not looking for accuracy but simply creating a legendary being. It lost the other leg in his fight against the adventurers of the scene

Construí este escorpión para la escena "El guardián del templo".
Sé que los escorpiones tienen dos patas más, pero no buscaba realismo sino simplemente crear un ser legendario. La otra pata la perdió durante su lucha con los aventureros de la escena.

One thing about this image. I've noticed that people when looking at it for a first time have a great deal of confusion on their faces (After a little while the state of confusion is generally followed by exhaling and something like wow!) Looks like it is hard to grasp this image from the first glance. So take your time:) It's here to stay.
And by the way is best viewed 'Large On Black. As there is no distraction for eyes.

Nobody volunteers to be a SCORPION. It is a punishment give to under-motivated VIPERS who refuse to follow orders. In order to survive, they quickly learn to mimic the attack patterns of the venomous, desert scorpions with which they live.

A magnifigure of one of my favorite Mortal Kombat characters, Scorpion. This was another simple weekend project, and it used the same basic design and fluidity of my previous Raiden figure. Since minifig ninja masks are only available in a limited amount of colors (excluding yellow), I decided to use a skull for the head and have Scorpion unmasked -- which actually adds more to the design.

Projekt "Blacktron II Special Forces" Part 2 "MBT Scorpion II"
Yes, it is a slightly modified Halo Scorpion M808 B1. I wanted to recreate this tank since long. All previous models of this tank that I have seen, are not accurate enough for me. So I've been thinking long, and have come to the conclusion that in relation to a Minifig to double the size.Then I worked on self supporting chain runs very long. Because I did not like the bricks to hold the axes in addition to the running rollers and drive wheels of the chain. That takes some accuracy of detail in my eyes. So I have now managed by various techniques an accurate replica for me.It would be no reproduction ala Stephan Niehoff, if I had not made a few small changes. The turret I designed a little flatter, which looks more like a battle tank. And the cannon I've designed something spacey. Ohhh, of course, the MBT received a Blacktron II painting.
Details: The turret can be rotated 360 degrees, the gun barrel can be raised by 45 degrees, the chain runs can be rotated 360 degrees, and the chains work.
The Blacktron engineers created this tank based on the model of a series of games. They play this game with great enthusiasm. But they had to expand the dimensions to carry enough ammunition and hightech with. Because this destruction machine has a 160 mm cannon, which is why the turret was flat, to compensate for the enormous blowback.The 160 mm projectiles are fired by inductive voltage. And can hit a target up to 40 KM. This makes the bullets a little smaller because no propellant is required. The energy for the weapon and the drive provides a fusion reactor. So that no fuel is needed and a nearly unlimited range guaranteed. The secondary weapon is a high speed plasma machine gun, no ammunition unlimited number of shots.A neuroimplant of the second generation allows that one crew member is sufficient to perform all the functions of the tank.
The combat weight is the only weak point, with 125 tons of these MBT it is not suitable for all terrain. Each MBT is supported by Blacktron II infantry units. (Often elite infantry of the CS series). And drones of the SkyEye series. OohRah

An articulated BigFig I made of my favorite Mortal Kombat fighter, Scorpion -- unmasked with his skull face form.
This was a quick build that I made over the course of a night. The figure is rather articulated and stable, although his arms are a big flimsy due to the Technic pin joints.
I plan on using this base design for making additional ninjas, in the same vein as the color palette swapping of Sub-Zero, Reptile, and Smoke.

The Scorpion Fly is a strange-looking insect that is found in gardens and hedgerows, and along woodland edges, particularly among Stinging Nettles and Bramble. It has a long, beak-like projection from its head that is uses to feed. It scavenges on dead insects and frequently steals the contents of spiders' webs. It lives up to its name by sporting a scorpion-like tail, which the male uses in courtship displays. Adults usually mate at night, but mating can be a dangerous game for the male, who might easily be killed by the female. So he presents her with a nuptial gift of a dead insect or a mass of saliva to placate her - the equivalent of a box of chocolates! The resulting eggs are laid in the soil and the emerging larvae live and pupate at the soil surface.

Heterometrus longimanus, are generally large-sized scorpions, 100–200 mm total length.
On this date (22nd May) in 1968, the United States Navy lost a submarine:
The USS Scorpion (SS-589) was the third of six Skipjack-class nuclear powered fast attack submarines that were built for the United States Navy between 1956 and 1961.
The Skipjack-class design was based on the USS Albacore (AGSS-569), a unique experimental diesel-electric powered that pioneered the use of the 'teardrop' hull-shape in modern US submarines. The teardrop hull is a design for better submarine performance while submerged over surface performance. It was often used early on in submarine development, but was dropped early in the 20th century in favour of hull designs that would optimize surface performance over submerged. The Skipjacks were also the first submarines installed with the new S5W reactor. They were the fastest U.S. nuclear submarines and remained so until the USS Los Angeles entered service in 1974.
Career:
The keel for USS Scorpion SSN-589 was laid down by the 'General Dynamics Electric Boat Co' at Groton, Connecticut on August 20th 1958. She was launched on December 19th the following year, sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth S. Morrison, the daughter of Lt. Cdr. Maximilian Gmelich Schmidt. Schmidt was commander of the previous USS Scorpion (SS-278) when that submarine was lost with all hands in 1944.
USS Scorpion (SSN-589) was commissioned July 29th 1960, with Commander Norman B. Bessac in command, and was to spend her relatively short career as part of Submarine Squadron (SUBRON) 6, based at Norfolk Virginia.
On February 1st 1967, Scorpion entered Norfolk Naval Shipyard for refuelling and then for a much needed complete overhaul. Cold War pressures were pushing US submarines to their limits, and constant service had taken it's toll on the submarine. Systems had began to break down, there were frequent serious oil leaks in the machinery, and sea water seeped in from the propeller shaft seal. The submarine was experiencing serious vibration, and her operational depth was limited to 300 ft. The constant mechanical problems led the crew to nickname their boat the 'Scrapiron'.
Cold War pressures also required Scorpion to be back in service as soon as possible, and to achieve this her overhaul was much reduced, and long-overdue 'SUBSAFE' work, such as a new central valve control system, was deffered. Critically, the Emergency 'Main Ballast Tank Blow' system which had been 'unusable' was deemed to be working as-is by Charleston shipyard. Basically Scorpion underwent emergency repairs Because of the incomleted work it was decided to limit her operational depth to 500 ft. In late October 1967, Scorpion started refresher training and weapons system acceptance tests, and was given a new commanding officer 'Commander Francis Slattery'.
Loss:
On February 15th 1968, USS Scorpion (SSN-589) departed Norfolk, Virgina for a three month deployment to take part in NATO exercises with the U.S. 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean. During the deployment, the submarine suffered several mechanical malfunctions, including a chronic problem with Freon leakage from refrigeration systems. There was also an electrical fire in an escape trunk caused by a water leak shorting out a shore power connection. While the crew occasionally enjoyed liberty in Italy, Sicily, and Spain, they also worked tirelessly to keep their boat operational until their return to Norfolk at the end of May.
On May 16th, Scorpion dropped two men off at Naval Station Rota in Spain (RM2 Eric Reid for a family emergency , and ICS Joseph Underwood for health reasons) before beginning the journey home. On route Scorpion was detailed to observe Soviet naval activities in the vicinity of the Azores, where an Echo II-class submarine, and a guided missile destroyer were operating with a Soviet 'research group'.
Shortly before midnight on May 20th, Scorpion attempted to send radio communications to Naval Station Rota, but the messages were only picked up by a Navy communications station in Nea Makri, Greece, who forwarded the messages to Commander Submarine Force Atlantic (COMSUBLANT). Commander Slattery's last message reported that he was closing on the Soviet submarine and research group, running at a steady 15 kn at a depth of 110 m to begin surveillance. Nothing more was ever heard from Scorpion.
On May 27th, families eagerly waited at Pier 2, Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia where Scorpion was due in at 13.00, but the submarine failed to arrive. The submarine's failure to break radio silence by late morning was already causing concern among SUBRON-6 officials. Repeated transmissions of Scorpion’s call sign "Brandywine" went unanswered. Eventually the worried families of Scorpion's crew had to go home not knowing what had happened to their loved ones. The subsequent search for the missing submarine was fruitless, and on June 5th, the U.S.Navy declared that Scorpion and her crew was "presumed lost".
Weck:
The wreck of USS Scorpion was found in late October 1968 by the Navy's oceanographic research ship 'Mizar', approximately 400 nmi SW of the Azores, at a depth of more than 9,800 ft. This was after the area of search was narrowed down, following the release of recordings of the submarine's destruction picked up by underwater hydrophones.
Other vessels were dispatched to the scene to collect photographs and other data, including the bathyscaphe Trieste II. Analysis of the sound recordings, and the photographs of the wreckage leave no doubt that Scorpion's destruction was caused by the submarine imploding under massive pressure as she passed her crush depth, but the cause of her sinking still remains a mystery.

Striped Back Scorpion
HOW COOL is this guy or gal!!!I found my first wild scorpions in my MO today during a little me time hiking a new conservation area. I was flipping rocks actually looking for lizards and snakes when I found both under one rock. As I was chasing them around from rock to rock, i lifted one up and in the dirt sleeping was this guy!! Immediate focus change! I had to get it out of the dirt and on a rock for photos. Some fancy maneuvering with some dead grass blades and it was in a good enough spot. This is the only specie of scorpion in MO. Yes, they do have a neurotoxin in that stinger, however to humans it is similar to bee stings. if you are allergic, the worse it sucks. Still, I didnt want to be stung so I kept my distance and used long twigs to get its attention. Fun thing, turns out that they can actually crawl pretty fast and I was rather surprised when it decided to run off the rock and go under neath it. All in all I ended up finding 4 of them, ranging in size ( wit tail curled up like that ) from just about 1/2" to maybe about 1 1/4" which is almost as big as they get. It would be really cool to go out to the glades at night time with a blacklight and search for some hunting, since under UV light, they glow in the dark.
1) Scorpion from 2016 then 2018
2) Mighty Micro Scorpion from 2017
3) The MM Scorpion figure USING "SuperHero Patrick"s Legs ALL the way back from the Old Spongebob Line of sets from 2011 in set 3815 "Heroic Heroes of the Deep" - this specific version of patrick only also came in keychain form so if you can find both of them, then you can use just their legs on any green hip piece and put that on the MM scorpion to complete that bottom look
4) And here's that combination from 3 - using Scorpion's adult head from 2016-2018.
But there's Another Use for those Patrick Legs
Panorpa nuptialis, a male. Bauerle Ranch Park. Male scorpion flies have scorpion-like tails, thus the common name. They are neither flies nor scorpions, and they belong to Mecoptera, an ancient order of insects, which dates back to the Permian. They have long, tube-like snouts with tiny jaws at the end. They feed on algae and detritus. Common in Austin in the fall.
