Thanks to Seibertron members PurdueAv2003 and chuckdawg1999 we have video reviews of the first figure released in TFCC's subscription service. To keep from spoiling it for those who want to be surprised when it arrives in your mailbox we won't mention the figure's name, but the reviews can be found below.
I couldn't finish the first video. Dude spends far too much time bitching about paint he's gonna fix anyway. Okay, so move on then. Chuck's video has some points of misinformation as well that need clearing up. The inverse G2 Autobot symbols are a reference to Car Robots Black Convoy which did indeed have those symbols. Not G1. The head on this figure is the original usage of the figure. It is not a remold or anything alluded to in the instructions of the original figure. The tabs on the shoulders are the new shortened tooling/the Takara remold. The original G2 figure/Scourge/reissues of said mold does not store the sword on the back of the robot. The waist absolutely DOES move.

Got my scourge yesterday. Great figure. I admit choosing the cheapest shipping option (USPS) but at least send me a god damn e-mail to let me know it shipped. What if I wasn't home ? That's why I chose USPS because I know my mailman and he holds my stuff. Fed Ex and UPS just leave it on your door step. In some parts of America, that might be safe. Here in Miami, it will just get snatched up by some teenager on a bike.

Also, the figure's bio card uses the G2 con logo next to his function, although the g1 is in the background. This guy is a veritable mass of walking symbols

That stupid head threw me. To be honest unless their side by side I have a hard time telling the difference. I thought on the Takara one the second tab, made in the clear plastic was removed, not shortened. Still gets in the way at least for me. I think I wasn't clear I meant only RTS G2 Prime and said uses of the mold can store the sword on the back.
