I saw him on the shelf this week.

I've seen him on the shelf too, but this is the mispriced one and I'd rather save the $20 if possible

Well hopefully it works.

I will never not love this mold

Hasbro now needs to give us a 3 pack with a red Rampage, a blue Long Haul and a purple Long Haul, just so Devy can have a complete set of mis-matched rainbow socks.

Man that would be stupid, and I would sooo buy it.

I would love this!

My Overload also got backordered to 10-14. I'm glad I have my Amazon one, but I don't want this one to get cancelled, it's a $20 as well. Between Amazon and Target, I'd like to end up with 2 Overloads for the price of one

The blitzwing mold sucks, the fact that the chest doesn't lock into place at all, to the point of flipping 90 degrees every time the shoulder is rotated is just unacceptable, there needed to be a better way to lock it all together

Finally got the last of wave 10! now to just wait on some new reveals. With this skipjack, I now have 2 of all 9 constructicons. Now they need to show off the box set more to see what I want to do with them.

The mandalorian one? I got it since it has a baby Yoda pod that scales with 6" black series.

Never knew Mandolorians could be Constructicons.

I think the 9th means he has both Rampage and Skipjack. Though as bad as the SWTF were, I'd pay for a baby Yoda TF.

Yeah, I was asking other Constructicon.

I need to do some leg swapping with Skipjack. His joints are tighter than Rampage, and that mold is still really fun. But I think Rampage will be the standalone, I love his design and his fight scene with Bee

What have I done...

On a more serious note though, this guy is cool. But he is to long and thin. He needs some more bulk for me to like him more.

Blitzwing is the last figure I need right now to be completely up-to-date on the Studio Series. He's being snapped up quick, and all I find in his wake are Skipjacks.

Greetings Seibertronians! Following on from last weekends official reveal of Kingdom Voyager Class Cyclonus, the spotlights returns to Studio Series 86, and to Cyclonus's comrade in arms, Scourge!

Fellow Seibertron user, Praxiusprime77, has let us know that fellow Seibertron user, and YouTube toy reviewer, PrimeVsPrime, has gotten his mitts on Voyager Class Scourge, a figure which so far, has had no official reveal.

We have embedded the review below for your convenience:

From this review you can see how Scourge looks next to Generations toys like Optimus and Megatron.

What do you think of this figure? Is this the definitive Scourge for your collection? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Uh...yeah that looks pretty good I guess. IDK I've never been that much of a Scourge fan. Never really liked his surfboard spaceship mode, and the robot mode doesn't look that appealing to me. But I'll probably get him anyways to go along with Cyclonus and Galvatron. Not thrilled about the back kibble, but I can look past it.

They should release Glavatron in Rescue Bots just to complete the randomness of it all. :lol:

Yeah but see, Galvatron is just that nuts... he would overthrow the shackles of "suggested age" and play range :lol:

Nope, it's something I can see the networks and retailers demanding in a kids line.

Scourge looks good, but I'm not sure either orientation of the backpack is correct.

In all seriousness, it's probably just something that goes without saying, but I've no sources to confirm it.

Though, even if it were the case, Rescue Bots Academy has featured at least three Decepticons (two former, one current) in its cartoon. One of which is Grimlock due to his being the same guy as RID 2015 Grimlock, who was originally a Decepticon before he joined the Autobots in that show.

I'm really impressed with that Scourge figure.
This is another example of a figure that is so good, any future improvement(s) may seem borderline pointless... I cannot wait to get this, and I'm not even a huge fan of this character.
Bring on Galvatron!!

by **M. Spector** » Thu Oct 01, 2020 7:08 pm

Let me preface this by saying I in no way want to seem like a party pooper, BUT these freakishly early video reviews of figures that we are only just now seeing preliminary promotional photos of does not seem like the most solid thing to make a case for or against any of these 86' movie figures. Until official photos drop Scourge will not be on my rader...

Speaking of . . . my attachment to the character is limited to when he showed up in an old marvel uk issue where he's sneaking around a factory getting ambushed by Ironhide and some others? He *seemed* cool then :lol:

So maybe he might be worth picking up in the future just based on that, Im sure we've all made more arbitrary purchases

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Thu Oct 01, 2020 7:11 pm

looks really good, hopefully it can do the visible head in spaceship mode. Lots of the WFC holes on him but cleverly done and a shame it isnt wfc and having to pay £6 more for him

so I might wait on reductions of some sort.

Yeah Protoman called them out. PvP and TT have been trying to sell these stolen toys after they review them to other people for 5 times the price. Shady I wouldn't prop them up...ijs >:oP

Yikes.

On another note, I think Scourge looks really good, Possibly the best Scourge yet.
I do wonder though, How many people are planning to buy three of him, One for Scourge, Two for the Sweeps.
