According to him, they can form themselves from floor panels along with any other random parts lying around.

Robo-scorpions appear in Mk 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and come in blaster, stinger, and bomber variants as well as different sizes relative to their Mark. Their appearance in the game may depend on the following:
 * According to player level.
 * Importance of the area being defended.

All variants of the robo-scorpion can be disabled with the Robotics Expert perk, including the giant robo-scorpion. However, the giant robo-scorpion will restart itself after a set amount of time has passed.

X-42 Giant Robo-Scorpion
Encountered in the X-42 Robo-Warfare Facility, the giant robo-scorpion is Dr. Mobius' ultimate creation, and the ultimate boss of Old World Blues. It has 3,000 hit points and 25.0 damage threshold, making it the single strongest killable enemy in Fallout: New Vegas, justa warning, at a distance it will attack with it's tail cannon, this is no normal attack, each hit does massive damage and radiation, a direct hit does about 30 rads for 1 second, this shot cannot be avoided as it has an explosive area and acts much like a pulse grenade blast as it is capable of going through walls. It is interesting to note that if the turrets are activated and it is destroyed, they will continue to shoot at the spot where it was even after it has been blown up.
