Scourge







Sergeant Kup

Sure, make it even more confusing with the line names

So we have Wreck-Gar, Perceptor, Laser Optimus Prime and Bumblebee for Reveal the Shield, and Scourge and Kup for Generations? Just pick a name and stick with it, Hasbro!

Oh come on! Now I want to get all of those, they look great. I'll try to skip Wreck-Gar, since I'm trying to stop getting motorcycle TFs, but he does look quite good and i already have TFA W-G, so I'm probably boned.

Anyone else notice how bad the card art is on Generations Kup & Scourge? Looks like some kid in Grade 9 pumped those out at lunch time.

Agreed. Go with one or the other! And make it Generations, too. RTS makes no sense!

Yea, so again I have to ask, what is the criteria here for inclusion in a specific line. I mean what exactly sets Kup, and Scourge apart from the rest so they don't get a rubsign and get to be in Reveal the Shield?

Only the cool kids get s rubsign? RTS makes sense, since they get a rubsign, but no other means of identifying them as either Autobot or Decepticon. [sarcasm]So you can't know until you reveal their shield.[/sarcasm]

Someone should tell Wreck-Gar he's missing his axehead.

I'm never one to care about the box artwork, 98% of it ends up in the recycling bin anyways.

they all look awesome! i may have to get bee, i have classics bumblebee but those stripes and yellow look to good to pass up

[warwik311]

I want everything but bumblebee. I'm not sure where I'd display optimus. And his feet worry me a little bit. that ankle joint just doesn't look like it's very sturdy

I have no issue with the fact that they brought back the old rub signs but what really gets me is them placing a deluxe class Optimus in this particular line up. There is no mystery whatsoever as to what is on his rub shield and also, he's a G2 design. That last fact alone should mean that he belongs in the Generations line. Yeah, I know that these are marketed (mostly) towards kids but a lot of what Hasbro has been doing with the updates of old characters has been in response to questions/requests from the long-time fan base. That being the case I think Hasbro should try a little harder to not insult our intelligence when honoring our requests. In reference to all of the figures from the old days that they wish to pay tribute to with the RTS or Generations lines, I think they should approach it with the mind set of do it up right or don't do it at all. My excitement for all of the figures they have done for those lines has been dropping with each new posting of info about them.
