The design team completely redesigned the ''Scorpion'' to meet the needs of a machine that is able to transform from a quadruped 'Mech into an [[aerospace fighter]]. − Despite many trials the design team met with little success converting the 'Mech, aside from remedying the original's notorious ground movement problems. After one of the prototypes crashed, Brigadier abandoned the project and shelved the design, moving it across the Inner Sphere until it somehow ended up on [[Hesperus II]] in a bunker that was soon lost.
