I think the pretender psuedo-Prime in swat trailer gear may be in over his head taking on Decepticon's biggest Headmaster.

Ultra Magnus, he pretty much beat Scorponok in his recent spotlight.

How do you figure? Scorponok was knocking Magnus around pretty good for most of the fight untill Zarak got hurt then Magnus blasted Scorponok in the head and he still didn't go down, my guess is that Scorponok realized that after Zarak was injured that to continue his battle with Ultramagnus would end up destroying all his research in the process so it made better since to pick it up and leave than risk destroying all his progress and research. Scorponok was no where near beaten. This would be one hell of a battle though as far as a winner goes I would pick a draw as they seem too evenly matched for a clear and decisive winner.

Scorponok had one up on UM because of his new upgrades, Magnus would be better prepared next time I guess.

On the other hand, Scorponok is pretty technical, I recon that he could reconfigure himself to be extra efficient against Magnus.

So, a draw could be possible.

Skorpanok was owning Magnus' ass in the Spotlight issue. Mags is lucky Skorpanok took off when Zarak got hurt. I say history repeats and Skorp goes 2 and 0.

Scorponok outclasses Magnus in most ways except speed. M can give S the runaround for a while.

S has an anti-gravity gun, which would make UM float and reduce his combat effectiveness somewhat. If UM were hiding behind some objects, they could be made to float away too, thus exposing UM to further attack.

S is a Headmaster, which makes him an even better warrior but leaves him vulnerable to a strike against his partner Lord Zarak.

S is one of the most corrupt, evil Decepticons around. This would inspire UM to fight a lot harder against him. UM could improvise a way to defeat him, if circumstances allowed. Don't think this fight would be a foregone conclusion!
