I'm not seeing the Scorpion Alien here, because in reality, the original Kenner figure was intended to be a representation of the maturized Xeno the USMC faced in Aliens, and there was nothing really scorpion-like about it. Of course, NECA could take some liberties and create something new for it, but theoretically, they have already done Scorpion a few times now, and I think in the long run, when he is released, he will probably be a repaint with minimal retooling like Renegade "Pudding" Predator was...

I kind of don't want them to bother with Scorpion Alien until they've run out of the rest because like you said it was just their basic warrior with small additions to make it '90s extreme. Nothing about it was particularly scorpion in nature. They just added some spikes to its limbs, I live in Texas and have seen plenty of scorpions to say that none of them have random spikes jutting out. Kenner didn't even give it pincer-like hands or a larger more scorpion looking barb on the tail end. When they repainted it for the two pack with Hudson it really just looked like the movie aliens. Maybe it's for these reasons that if NECA does Scorpion I could see them redesigning it to look more like this rather than just the plain warrior head we've gotten so many times now.

Edit: The more I look at this the more I agree with suchaname that it really does look like the alien we never actually got with the big egg on its butt that opened up.
