As a former Scorpion pilot, I can safely say that I prefer the current model. This just looks too.. artificial. I like the idea, but the present model works nicely. I would like an updated version of what we have now more than a whole new model style.
The entire focus of the model is the giant 'crystal' in the center. That is the drone's central brain. As such, I feel it's a bit exposed. If you could somehow make it look more guarded- with extra tentacles, arm coverage, etc. the thing would look more believable.
