That's still not Deus Ex Machina. 3b established, via the twins, that Scott was never fighting with the strength of the Alpha because he didn't want to be a monster. It didn't just "come out of nowhere" that he gained control of it and beat up Peter, who was an Omega, by the way.

Scott, throughout seasons 3b - 4, was holding back his alpha powers. He couldn't control it, so he didn't want to use it. Alphas were shown to have enhanced... everything when compared to a Beta or Omega. They're stronger, faster, have better senses (they have night vision, apparently). The fact that there were characters pointing this out should have been hint enough to make you think "It's been said repeatedly that Alphas are supposed to be stronger than Scott is right now...  hey, maybe he's holding back his true strength! "

The fact that Scott finally gained control of his powers didn't just magically come from nowhere. It was a process that was happening from 3b to the finale of S4.


 * "the fight between him and Liam was totally believable until he said "but I can't let you kill me" and turns and faces the moon like he was absorbing its energy and was still losing to his own beta so clearly Liam's rage issues had a lot to do with that."

He said "I can't let you kill me" then started to fight back. He still didn't want to hurt Liam, and he was already poisoned by wolfsbane for an extended period of time. Liam was fuelled by his anger and the supermoon. His only goal at that moment was to kill Scott so he can save his girlfriend; even though he wouldn't have considered doing that on a normal day. There were a lot more forces at play than just "Liam's intense rage."
