"Intruder, you will not escape the eyes of my robo-scorpions! Or their pincers!"

- Mobius

Robo-scorpion is a special security robot produced by the Big MT company and serve as robotic guardians for the Big Mountain Research and Development Center. They have a scorpion form with a yellow body, two red pincers, red tail and some of their other parts are green.

Background
The robo-scorpions are robots created by Dr. Mobius in Big MT based on scorpions and powered by a fission battery. They were created for security at the facility as robotic guardians at first, but after the exile of Mobius, they became his personal army. According to Mobius, they can form themselves from floor panels along with any other random parts lying around. They are very fast and extremely resistant with Mk5b variants possessing a DT of 18 and as much as 750 HP, also the effect of pulse weapons cause less damage to them compared to other robots. After their death, they cause an electrical explosion that can deal damage to anyone around.

Variants
Robo-scorpions appear in Mk 1, 2, 3, 3b, 4, 5, 5b, and come in stinger, blaster, and bomber variants as well as different sizes relative to their Mark with the "b" designation being assigned to ones with the size and DT of giant radscorpions. Their appearance in the game may depend on the following:
