I was just looking at Generation Scourge's instructions last night and noticed the head in the instructions looks nothing like the head on the figure. Was there a planned remold that was never made or something?

There is an upcoming Takara United figure: TG-20 Senator Ratbat!

O, there were several in both Generations and Reveal the Shield whose alternate heads were accidentally leaked. All but a few are accounted for though, Lugnut's and Warpath's are the only ones I know. I have a suspicion we'll see that one at BotCon 2013.

In the case of Scourge, the head shown is TakaraTomy's Sentor Ratbat.

In case you're curious, a rundown of leaked alternate heads:

RtS Wreck-Gar -> Gen. Junkheap
RtS Optimus Prime -> BotCon 2012 Ultra Magnus
RtS Lugnut -> ???

Gen. Cybertronian Bumblebee -> Gen. Cliffjumper
Gen. Sergeant Kup -> Gen. Swerve
Gen. Scourge -> TG Senator Ratbat
Gen. Thunderwing -> Gen. Sky Shadow
Gen. Warpath -> ???

Ah, I had forgotten about Senator Ratbat! Did that figure ever come out, or is it scheduled to?

Still scheduled. Looking at current TakaraTomy release trends, expect him between June and July

I still wonder why Hasbro bothers doing this. :lol:

Probably just as a cool easter egg.

I was thinking the Warpath Head was Strika's... But nooo... It's still different. Hardhead, maybe?

It does look like Hardhead, however Hasbro has claimed not to have any current plans for that alternate head.
