This looks fantastic, but it's about a year and a half too late. Generations/United more than does the job and have already been purchased in multiples. Their best bet would probably be to release it in MP size to give more people a reason to buy...assuming it's being released in large numbers.

It maybe a year to late but this can let this be the Commander Scourge and you can make the Hasbro Generations version all drones

It's a damn nice looking figure, no doubt about that, but I'm quite happy with my United Scourge. Thanks all the same.

Fri Nov 11, 2011 7:01 pm

Yeah, my Scourge is a great Scourge. I love the guy!

I am sorry, but third party companies are starting to annoy me. They are making articulated KO of G1 transformers or updating characters that have had official updates already or nobody really wants them. In Fansproject, Fans-Want-It, and a few others I still have faith in, but some of these newer ones seem stupid to me.

Like the one making Metroplex's eye?

Because we really needed the flying space-canoe version of this guy again. Yet another case of geewuners will demand it, but those with sense will realize it's a waste of plastic.

Next.

it looks nice but does the head pop out in alt mode?

Fri Nov 11, 2011 10:01 pm

I'll never get the mental pathology of the folks who feel the need to announce that they won't be buying something or who think because something is stupid in their opinion that it is actually stupid for everyone and not worth anyones time.

I'd buy this. I'd buy it and chuck my classics version. At this stage in it's development it looks truer to the original design, and that's what I value aesthetically. My favorite characters as a kid were the movie characters. So this appeals to me.

You like the Bay stuff? Great. You like realistic vehicle G1? Super. You want a Heinlad alarm clock or a pink dragon Galvatron with a permanent grimace? Can't blame you. Hell, don't appreciate the design of this scourge? At least appreciate the craftsmanship of what these guys are doing. I just can't fathom what would motivate someone to spout off like some of you people do.

Fri Nov 11, 2011 10:07 pm

That looks pretty bad ass! Hope it gets a release...
Hate all you want want on "geewuners" We have the disposable income to buy what we like. Once you kiddies get out of college maybe you can dictate what the market provides.

I like it.

I skipped on multiples of classics scourge because I didn't really dig it. I bought 1 but have not even opened it.

I have 3 Titanium scourges, that can be demoted to sweeps, with this guy leading them.

I have to admit, their timing is pretty bad, though.

I think it's a nice rendition to the character as lot of us remember him. In G1 figures available in my country I think it was one of first and my bro had it, so if it gets to be good in the quality department I could give it a try...the other thing is that it looks really small standing by that bricket, it seems smaller than a deluxe , almost like the size of a PCC commander... or isnt it?

Fri Nov 11, 2011 10:29 pm

i'm more interested to find out the size scale of this toy. if it's deluxe or basic size scale,then it's a easy pass,no buy.

if the figure is voyager scale or ultra sized & is over 7 inches tall in robot mode,then I need this toy ASAP.

I disagree with all the replies in this thread,regarding the generations deluxe scourge being a decent toy. personally the toy is garbage. it's got a alt mode that looks nothing like 1986 scourges alt mode,plus it's a under sized deluxe updated homage. IMHO,Any 1986 scourge updated homage needs to be voyager size & bigger,not 5 & 1/4 inches tall in robot mode like the generations scourge toy is in robot mode. the 1986 cartoon scourge was portrayed as a bigger than average character & was way bigger than the average jazz or wheeljack robot mode. the 1986 Scourge toy by todays standards would be considered a voyager or ultra sized toy.

At the very least the titanium 6 inch G-1 Scourge toy did try to mimick the 1986 G-1 scourge robot & alt mode. but this toys down fall is the size,it's too small,it needed to be bigger,like 7.5 inches tall in robot mode & voyager sized.

Hopefully these 3rd party guys making this,create a 7.5 inch or taller in robot mode scourge toy. then I'll buy one ASAP.

I really love all the detail that went into this sculpt. it definately looks like it was meant for adult collectors & not for toddlers. I feel this sculpt design really captures all the awesomeness of 1986 Scourge in both modes.

DAMN!!!! Thats looks so right! Unfortunately, it won't be $9.88 at Wal-Mart so building ANOTHER classics Scourge armada is kinda out of the question. But one or two.... Looks good, I like this alot more than the X-Transbot Galvatron currently under construction.

If they're doing this just to put out a Scourge figure, then I agree - as nice as it is - these guys are too late..... UNLESS their Scourge is going to be VOYAGER size.....
