Fellow Seibertronians,

So ever since I got my Generations Scourge, I've wanted him to have a Fracas. After all, if my Cyclonus (BiS) and his "Armada" (Uni) both had a little gun-bot, why shouldn't Scourge?

Stealing inspiration from Takara's Fracas repaint of Chainclaw, I bought the PCC two-pack to get the little guy, but was very disappointed that he couldn't attach to Scourge in any meaningful way while Scourge was in his alt-mode. I mean, he could hang by one arm because of the clip-rod thing they've been doing lately (his hands are clips and Scourge has two little rod-points on his undercarriage) but that hardly allows him to be used as a weapon. So, I felt a little customization was in order.

First, I modified Fracas so that his powerlinx port (or whatever they are called) was covered with a slightly cut-down piece of lego, which I glued on with Testors modelling cement:





Next, I found a lego piece that could clip on to Scourge's various "rods":







Then I attached that piece to Fracas' modified chest (but didn't glue it, since it looked bad in Robot mode... better to keep it seperate and store under Scourge's wing when not in use):



This allows Fracas to attach to Scourge's head, or under his wings (or to all three points, if you made three targetmasters in this fashion):





Also, Fracas can attach to Scourge's gun:



Alright, that's my slightly customized Fracas! Enjoy!

That's cool. You should see what MasterShooter collectibles has planned though...

looks like ill need to stop at the lego shop next vacation

Thanks!

So now I have a question: I'm thinking of re-painting him (because I'm not a fan of the clear blue plastic) but I'm not sure what would look better: A G1-inspired colour scheme, or one that would blend better with Scourge himself (i.e. repainting those parts with the same blue as featured on Scourge).

Any opinions?

P.S. I tried looking for what MasterShooter is doing, but couldn't find pics. Can you point me in their direction? Thanks!

MasterShooter hasn't officially revealed it yet. I just happen to know the guy who does their design work and he told me what they are working on. Targetmasters for HotRod, Kup, Blurr, and Scourge. Think G1 targetmasters, only with full articulation.
