I think there is an upper limit to how much the Scarab can effect the host. From watching the fight between blue and black I noticed that every transformation blue made was based on the size of Jaime. The Scarab asked Jaime to give full control of the armor over to him.



The host is the weak link in the Scarab as it is only as strong as the host body can withstand. So if the Reach recovers the Scarab after it is removed from Jaime they would chose a more robust host for it. Not to mention one more in line with the light.
