EmGo Reviews Hasbro's Generations Scourge

WOW.. Just WOW.. What a feat of toy engineering..
I will get multiples of him for sure!

love the weapon storage!

wow bravo hasbro he looks amazing. i cant wait to pick him up

BOUGHT ON SIGHT! Holy crap, I can't wait to find this figure in stores! He looks so perfect with Galvatron and Cyclonus.

Much better overall figure than I originally expected. I definitely see a Sweeps army in my future.

Amazing, there isnt any part that does fold, rotate, expand or do something. Hasbro, please get the person who designed this to design more. Its awesome, it needs some sort of award... can we get it some sort of award please?

Not one friggin' thing wrong with him!!!! Outstanding!!! I especially love how the arms transform! When he mentioned the weapons, I was like "I guess he never came with him.", but when he touched the wings, I was like "No way..." and he opened and BAM! there they were! I was like "HOLY **** THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!". If there was a poll for Top 10 toys of 2011, Scourge would be #1! Please don't tell me he's coming out in the spring.... I can't wait that long.....

Top 5 Scourge Toys?

Looks great !!! Im very pleased that you can tilt the wings downward and open them up to give him that G1 look. I will buy 3 for a Sweeps army and maybe the Henkei version to represent Scourge the leader.

EmGo does great reviews. I just wish he would drop the title "freakin geek" because it adds to the false stereotype about Transformers fans. This aint the 90's. Cool people collect Transformers too. I was shocked to see a few fine girls at Botcon in Orlando. I met this one hot chick with an autobot tattoo on her back, real friendly. Yeah I saw a few geeks with pants pulled up to their chest and taped glasses. But they were in the minority. Anyways no disrespect, just my opinion.

With some modding, you could mod this into a pretty cool Bat Wing transformer. I still love the one that was done with animated Blur for the Bat Mobile.

err...his moustache kinda looks like an abnormally long nosehair...

I'm so glad to see that they've done as good a job with Scourge as they did with Cyclonus. Looks perfect with some really nice touches. Bring on 2011 when I can add him to my collection!

Looks very cool. Love the arm transformation, love the fact he has no under kibble. Love the fact the plane mode is very much part of the robot mode. Not like other TF's we've had where you could detach the plane, and still have both a fully functional robot, and a fully functional plane.


The combined gun is not the best, but its nice he can hold them separately.

I'll likely pick him up, and whatever repaint Hasbro decides to do.

Oh, I'm so excited! I've always wanted a Scourge! Now, Unicron's collection will be complete! Yaaay!

Those weapons are pretty cool. Loving the engineering on this fella

I'm loving the look of this Scourge I do wonder who the designer was. Up until now I think Mirage was one of my favorites with posability and compactness of form but this might replace that for me.

Alt mode will take some gettin used to, but that bot mode is the selling point for this self professed tf geek (I may not like the stigma, but it's what I am). Just kills me that I wasted so much money on the Botcon iteration. Oh well, I've spent money on more frivolous stuff before (several movie dates come to mind). Here's to hoping there's enough to go around. If they can, at least three wave revision releases for pure saturation please.

I knew he'd be good but, crikey, that toy blows the Titanium version out of the water. I still love the Botcon version (weirdly, I often appreciate a clever repaint/remould more than an entirely new figure!) but this alt-mode is beautiful, and the combination of a spot-on robot mode and a re-imagined alt really works for me. Plus, anything's better than a robot hiding in a space-shoe...

Excellent figure!! That transformation is VERY impressive.I'm a fan of how the arms transform in particular. Fantastic engineering there and all still keeping true to a G1 aesthetic.
I agree that whoever designed this figure should get a pat on the back or some kind of recognition for a job well done.

Excellent toy and review! Hasbro really nailed this one. I had a feeling this was going to be a great homage to the G1 character from the start. This is coming from a guy who never liked the character to begin with.

So....when all is said and done, any further objections?

Looks great! I've got 3 preordered, and I may end up with at least 1 more.

I am impressed, I think that when I get one, I'll be continuing the blue line from the front of his vehicle mode to the joining areas along his wings, maybe painting his eyes red, too... but other than that it looks fantastic.

I can see a recoloured one with a new head sculpt be a very good Alpha Trion

Nicely designed and a very cool homage. It will be awesome to see him in stores.

I consider myself a geek/nerd. I also consider myself somewhat cool. I think the word has mostly lost its negative connotations. Look at pop culture these days. Comic books are cool. Movies based on comic books are cool. Not to mention the ones based on action figures. Sweater vests, suspenders and glasses are all in style. Video games are a mainstream pastime. It's cool to be a geek.

On topic:

Sweet baby Jesus. Amazing. I think what we have here is the future Best Toy of 2011. When he rotated the wings downwards I went "Yes!". When he opened them to reveal the weapons it just blew my mind. I love that he has the first proper 2-color tampographed faction symbol in years (I love that it's back, not that it was gone that long). I don't even care that his alt mode looks like the blue stripe should extend down the wings. He looks great anyway. I'm so buying this figure as soon as I can. Kibble-free alt mode. Bot mode that does what it should with the kibble. ARTICULATION GALORE! GOATEE! I'm in love. Scourge is going to sleep next to me on my pillow. We'll gaze into each other's eyes. I'll whisper sweet nothings about his lovely sculpt (love those armor-looking things around his neck). I'll tell him his coloring is perfect, that I love his manicured claws. I'll say I'm so glad I finally found him as I slowly drift off to sleep... I just...I don't even...*teary eyed*

Sounds like Blurr is gonna be jealous.

Yeah, I don't know how I'm going to break it to him... He's not going to take it well, especially since I'm cheating with the enemy.

According to him, he preferably calls it a goatee.

Wonderful. Hasbro just raised the bar for itself. Now we know what they are really capable of doing.

Incredible!

I'll take three please.

Is this the Hasbro or Takara version?

I dont usually post on new video reviews but wow.

Words can not express how nearly perfectly well built this figure is.

He wasnt even on my list 2 get but the review blew my ideas out the window.

I thought Jazz will be the best figure in this line but it look like I was wrong.

This line will truly be the best line Hasbro had eva created

I want whoeva design him will redesign Galvertron in the near future tho

On a sad note....i have to tell Terradive and Animated Swindle that they are no longer will be my fav deluxe decepticons

Another great and entertaining review from Emgo. Well done, sir.

This figure is damn near perfect. As far as the mold goes, I've got no complaints with what I've seen so far. It'll require a bit of paint work on the wing leading edge and his eyes, but that's no biggie.

Gripen1974 makes a good point. This figure would make a good Alpha Trion. But given the information provided by the Walmart employee the other week, I can't imagine it's likely this would happen.

All I want now is to see a confirmed United Scourge to see how it differs.

That information was proven to be false and a sad sad sad attempt at a practical joke.

The little son of a .... !!

I thought there was something dodgy about that SwindleBot462. Speaking in riddles and the way he avoided answering questions directly. Has he been banned for intentionally misleading this forum community?

I am not sure but that is moderator business so I trust they are doing whatever is appropriate

Cheers for setting me straight, dude. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some hunting to be done.

i will have to get at least 4 or 5 so i can have scourge with his army of sweeps

I like the robot mode on this, but absolutely hate the flyer mode. Was thinking of getting this to go with my galvatron & cyclonus, but this is def an easy pass for me. I'd rather hunt down the titanium scourge over this. It's just that the alt mode kills it for me.

Yeah... I know. Especially with the alt mode comparison shots with the seeker mold. Botcon Scourge fits great with Universe Cyclonus in both modes (and I prefer the menacing face sculpt). Its the bot mode homage that is worth the $10-$12 admission fee. I'll take one and be content.

Wow... and to think when I saw the first pics of this guy a while back I didnt want to get him. How more wrong could I be? The answer would be none more wrong. I gatta get at least 3.

I get what your saying bro. Out here in Miami, the culture is a little different because of the multi-ethnic communities and hip hop culture. Out here many people like collecting toys, comics, video games etc. But whe toss the traditional stereotypes of middle america out the window. Its not uncommon here to find a gang member that loves video games or a rap music artist that collects toys.

Back on topic, I agree this figure might a great Alpha Trion. I hope they do come out with a repaint. But Im very interested in seeing how the Henkei or United version will look. I would buy one expensive one and a squadron of 9 dollar Sweeps. The one thing I dislike about this figure is the shoulders pop out just a little too much. But overall I give Scourge a 9 out of 10 after seeing that his wings can be positioned to resemble G1 Scourge.

This has been a pass for me since I saw first saw the alt mode pictures. The bot mode is absolutely awesome, but the alt mode is wrong for me. It is a really nice figure in several ways, but not for me.

Not a Scourge fan at all, but this figure is too great to pass up. This video definitely is what changed my mind too. When I first saw the pics I thought "mehh" but it looks so much better on the video, definite must have for me.
Now if only they'd come out with another Galvatron to go with this and my Cyclonus

I love this figure. Very nice in both modes (in my opinion, others are certainly entitled to their own). The first thing I thought to myself was "who would make a great repaint or remould out of this som'bitch?). The first thing that came to mind was Divebomb. I think the black, yellow, and orange would look amazing along with s remoulded head. Maybe loose the goat and swap the head needle for Divebombs beak flat cap.

Botcon I could see another Alpha Trion figure. Maybe even Vector Prime.

So glad I have him preordered!
