We just got one not too long ago. Twice, even!

True, but neither domestically. And neither voyager.

Those were deluxes though. It would be nice to get some in a voyager scale.

Then go for the original. It's still a wonderful figure in its own right.

This new Optimus looks less like Laser OP than either previous option, so making a Scourge out of it wouldn't look as much like Scourge specifically as it would just a run-of-the-mill version of Nemesis Prime/Black Convoy.

But hey, it's a new Optimus Prime, but one that could possibly get a Nemesis Prime version. I can dig that.

Also the idea of RiD Scourge as a titanmaster to go with Fort Max would be interesting... then they wouldn't need the human to activate him?"

We just got Scourge from he latest Optimus mold last year and it coincided with the anniversary of RID (Car Robots) in Japan. These toys are coming out next year when any chance for an anniversary will be over.

And its a voyager.

Yeah that's not exactly what I think of when I think "RiD Scourge".

Also, HOLY CRAP that Megatron looks awesome.

They are both black repaints of Convoy with red eyes called Scourge right? Good enough for me

Not in the same country, they aren't.

Hasbro's RiD Scourge is Takara's Black Convoy.

Takara's Super Link Grand Scourge has no Hasbro name but most likely would have just "Nemesis Prime" had Hasbro made their own for Energon at the time, given that Hasbro's Armada Nemesis Prime was Takara's Micron Densetsu Scourge.

Take a gander at that sticker sheet.



Those stripe graphics usually only go one place on a Prime toy. The trailer.
You guys think this one has a trailer built into his transformation?

It's fully possible, so that way we can turn into the truck and trailer and the third mode can be the plane mode, ala Octane. So that could be who this is intended to be

I've been thinking about that too and if it is built in that's a quality transformation or a crappy trailer lol

Did anybody else notice that Doublecross' Titanmaster looks a lot like http://tfwiki.net/wiki/White_Leo ?

That is what Chainclaw mentioned back in his original rumors, yes.

I can't really tell. It's too blurry.

I dont see any plane kibble so I dont know how octane would work. The trailer idea sounds interesting since this could turn into a trailer that could hook at the back of Powermaster prime AND become aditiona armour for him. We could simply be seeing the robot mode. Hows that for a hyothesis?

Sorry to post this image again, but I noticed that this new Megatron homages MTMTE Autobot Megatron a LOT more than the CW Leader Megs. They both come with extra Autobot symbol stickers, but this new one also has a removable arm cannon.





This looks too much like G1 Megatron:

With Combiner Wars and Unite Warriors I started to buy again, and I must say I can't wait for Titan's Return to come out. The molds look great, and also Optimus and Megatron leaks look g incredible, I hope it includes the trailer. I think I'll go for those 2, Galvatron, Astrotrain/Sentinel Prime, Blaster/Soundwave, Alpha Trion and Hot Rod. Let's see if their transformations are a little more complex.

Sixshot! i knew it!

They're only both "Scourge" if you mix Hasbro and Takara name schemes together rather than sticking to one or the other.

After all, ya'll wouldn't think of Armada Red Alert as Ratchet, or Animated Bulkhead as Ironhide, in the context of Hasbro character names, right?

It looks like the removable arm cannon is necessary though considering there are tank treads on the bottom of the arms. So more a case of weapons that need to move from one mode to the other?

I mean, for whatever reason it's a feature, the end result is still a much more accurate MTMTE Megatron.
And one that is far, far more in scale than the CW Megatron. Seriously I really don't get why people are saying they'd stick with CW Megatron when he's a leader and insanely out of scale???

Ikr? And plus, this one just looks better. At least to me. Even if you don't get the voyager Prime from Titans Return, this Megatron will scale well with both Combiner Wars Prime, and Titans Return Galvatron. Only thing we need now is a voyager Rodimus Prime.

It's interesting how Doublecross' head looks a bit like Devastator's.
