He also got pretty webadlly stomped by Grimlock, with far less difficuly than one would expect given how he'd been introduced, and it's not like they couldn't have had Steeljaw make his move a few episodes later (or betray Saberhorn, who'd already gotten screen time, instead) if they wanted to keep Scorpy around for a bit.


But he basically shows up looking intimidating and then goes out like a chump within the next episode or two, so I don't think it matters who you blame, they still wash their hands of the guy before spending any time characterizing him. Plus, if they wanted to make Steeljaw look dangerous, fleshing Scorponok out as a character would have helped give the betrayal some weight. I thonk it's fair to say they dropped the ball here no matter where they had intended to throw it.
 
But you at least gotta give me
Motormaster, right? They build him up and build him up and then when he shows up he's mostly just there to be Menasor's torso and we never even get to see him fight uncombined. Combiner Force was just full of disappointments...
