New Images of Generations Scourge - Alternate Mode

Posted by Blurrz Nov 21, 2010 at 11:33pm CST 43,599 views
It's the figure that completes the Claasics trifecta of 1986 Movie baddies. Universe gave us Galvatron and Cyclonus. Now at last, Generations gives us Scourge. Transformers insider KOToys was able to snag Scourge, and we've got a nice glimpse at the figure's alternate mode. Check it out below!

You'll find the rest of the alternate mode gallery over at KOToys website. Expect pictures of his robot mode in the near future.

Keep it at Seibertron.com for the latest Transformers news on the net!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

It looks better than it did in previous pictures.

It's just something we have to accept though, that HasTak has to update characters to appeal to the kids so the likes of Perceptor, Frenzy, Rumble and Scourge have more kid-friendly alt modes.

With all 4 of those guys they absolutely nailed the robot modes, especially in Scourge's case, which is most important in my books so I'm happy. :APPLAUSE:

Nice to see some up-close pics of Scourge's alt-mode, and to be able to make out the sculpting & details more clearly. I think it's pretty decent and like the modernized alt-mode... looking forward to picking him up. Now to decide if this one's the Sweep or if Botcon 09 Scourge will be... ;)^

Is it just me or is he slightly mistransformed?
It really looks like pieces are meant to be more flush and snug.

This alt-mode modification is growing on me, I must admit. I would have preferred he be more G1 like Cyclonus, but I can live with Nouveaux sweeps. Speaking of sweeps, I hope we get like a two pack with remolded heads as Sweep drones so I can half a perfect set of G1 Unicronians.

Does he have a gun though?

He comes with a gun that looks very similar to his old Targetmaster partner Fracas in weapon-mode, it doesn't transform though. :BANG_HEAD:

Would have loved for him to be a targetmnaster as well. Oh well, no sense complaining.

In terms of alt-mode I perfer the Titanium version but I kind of like this robot version of Scourge. Maybe I'll gave him a few Titanium Sweaps

The gun that was in the picture of his robot mode didnt transform into any form of robot but it did have points where it could maybe transform to fit into his alt mode somehow

Reminds me of ROTF Mindwarp. :lol: This, I'll definitely get, since I have both Galvatron and Cyclonus. Now all we need is an official Classics Arcee figure and most of the entire fanbase will be alright. :lol: ;)

I think ill get 6 or 7 of this Hasbro's version for the sweeps and 1 from Takara for Scourge. The new alt mode is growing on me, but i think it still needs some work or its mistransformed.

Comment by bray_man Nov 22, 2010
Yeah, it's mistransformed. On comparison with earlier pictures, the arms/engines need to be flipped forward/rotated so that the engine intake with the red fists showing is pointing towards the front of the aircraft, allowing the body to clip in and the whole body to fit tighter.

I despise how the blue trim along the leading edge just stops when it gets to the wings. It's going to be a right pain to find a matching blue.

I'm guessing that this is an unfinished figure, hence why they have it.

This is the reason Hasbro doesn't like pictures to be leaked.

(But if this IS the final version, shame on them.)

It's the same with every image shown, so I'm pretty sure that that's it. It's just lazy.

I almost got the titanium Scourge. Im sorry I didnt pick him up. In a perfect world (for collectors) their would be no kids...

IMO this alt mode doesn't look like G1 Scourge at all...
The Botcon one will keep his place in my collection next to Henkei Cyclonus and Universe Galvatron(I don't like this figure either but there's no other alternative in CHUG..).

1. CHUG is a disgusting and terrible term that should be aborted.

2. What's wrong with this guy?

It looks like there were supposed to be some paint apps on the wings, continuing the blue stripe. I really wish they didn't have cheap out so much on the paint apps. I'll probably still get the Hasbro version anyway, since Takara's too expensive.

Height, proportions, posability, loose joints and bad die-cast placement. :-B
But yeah, I dont think most people (me included) liked Scourge's alt mode anyway, I still dont know what that thing is supposed to be! #-o
