Scourge

My worry is it will be Animated Jetfire.

I wouldn't worry too much. The likelihood of that is like < .01%.

I reckon Skids is a good call for the Kup remold. At least, that's what I hope.

It's the .01% that usually gets made by Hasbro.

I can see why people would want the Kup remold to be Orion Pax, but I just don't see it. Truth is that I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA who it could be. There are a few good suggestions out there, but nothing feels quite right to me.

As for Scourge, there is equal evidence that his remold could be either Ratbat or Leozak;

[Ratbat] Aside from the head looking pretty close to the comics, the strongest case for Ratbat is the fact that we are getting Frenzy/Rumble soon as well. Add in a new Lazerbeak and we have most of Soundwave's entourage on our shelves.

[Leozak] One word; Blackshadow! If we are getting an obscure (to American audiences) character, albeit as a remold, then it makes a fair bit of sense that we could see other related Japanese-exclusive characters to support him.

My personal vote goes to Ratbat, mainly because I want to have more updated Cassette-Bots to display alongside the most evil tape deck ever! Either way, though, I think I'll be happy!

Anyone remember Optimus/Orion Pax from Spotlight: Blurr? The Kup retool could very well be the IDW version of Orion Pax.

After reading this post, flipping back and forth at pics, TFwiki and more pics, I have to agree that Scourge will be Ratbat and for Kup, which i mix feelings about it, but still going with Orion Pax.....for now.

I'm still on 'wait and see' for both of them, especially Kup. Way too generic for my eyes.

Im the same man-I thought Skids the minute I seen that.I didnt get a Gears vibe here at all.Crossirs is another good choice though
