Finally! A genuinely GOOD-looking release of the mold (the Optimus version, that is), and it happens to be a Unicron Trilogy character to boot!

Which is all that needs to be said for me. I'll take ten!

Grand Scourge. Never thought he'd be back again. I mean... what's it been? 11 years? Oh well... he looks good. But do I need this mold a third time?

And at an upwards of 60$ price tag plus shipping?

Found a good translation of his bio:
And it's cool how the bio both includes and distinguishes "Convoys" and "Optimus Primes".
Also, for those curious about the original version of Grand Scourge, the only piece of fiction he ever appeared in can be read in English (from RIGHT TO LEFT) here - http://www.fantofan.jp/fan/comic/fansub/modelkit-gc/model%20kit%20main.htm
He basically sounds like the same kind of character as DOTM Darkside Optimus Prime, with the addition of being able to force others to combine with him.A mysterious warrior resembling the Autobot supreme commander Convoy. It is able to transcend space and time and has set its sight on the myriad Convoys and Optimus Primes of the multiverse. In addition to its own atrocious unmatched combat capabilities, it is also able to force combinations - controlling warriors or drones with the ability to combine literally as easily as he does his own limbs. The large, scarlet blade it wields, the "Matrix Breaker" is not only an instrument of physical destruction but is also said to be capable of severing the bond between the Autobot supreme commanders and their Matrices of Leadership.

I was going to say some nice things, but its already had too much of that 
I actually like the Prime/Motormaster mold. Its not bad. Its not optimal, but its not bad. This is a good repaint. I really like the look of the combiner and I may have to order this just for that. I don't have a scourge so this will be a great edition. I really hope they get some good variety of limbs coming out.
But really, it aint the worst Prime.

The gold kills it for me. Scourge should NOT have gold!!! And yes, I do understand this is an homage. 
Still... will preorder.

Well, for the people who wondered if/how TakaraTomy was gonna release CW Optimus Prime, there's your answer 
Him being Grand Scourge, as in a specific black clone, should come as no real surprise as CW Optimus Prime had some cues from Energon and Grand Scourge came from Superlink, the Japanese version of that particular line.
He looks good, and the giant cleaver is icing on the cake. Now we really need figures of his drones. We have Alpha Bravo already, so...
