Yeah, thats why I didnt include her. Thats some pretty hardcore cheating

Honestly I'd like to see Thunderblast get a Generations toy that actually takes advantage of the shellformery nature- so as with before, most of the boat hull forms "wings" (perhaps with a bit more foldy bits to make them look more impressive) whilst the actual robot inside, unhindered by having to contain any dedicated transformation engineering, could be super-articulated (so chest and waist balljoints, double-balljointed neck, balljointed ankles and wrists etc). Of course that would never happen with Hasbro's current trend of simplification and cost-cutting, so...let's hope MMC or MakeToys or someone is reading this thread, maybe?

So basically you want Scourge to be remolded into Thunderblast?

Well, at that point the retooling would be so extreme it might as well be a totally new mold with a similar transformation scheme. Though if they used the same formula for an updated Scourge and engineered him to be ludicrously articulated that'd be awesome.

Why not just have her be a retool of Titan Returns Scourge?

See above.

(Also as far as I can tell, Scourge doesn't even have a waist joint, has very broad shoulders, and is a headmaster.)
