Grand Scourge: Unite Warriors / Combiner Wars
Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2016 1:44 pmI'm embarking on another crazy quest folks: assembling a proper group for the combined mode of the E-Hobby Grand Scourge. And I think I've got it figured out. My goal: to match up his limbs (color-wise most of all) to the Super Link Grand Scourge Pla-Kit, being that its the inspiration. So to kick this off, have a look below.
And for good measure, here's UW Grand Scourge.
As said, I'm choosing to match up limbs color-wise. Mainly because attempting to get limbs to match up mode-wise is too difficult. So lets break it down, what we need is: black, blue/teal, purple, and what could be mustard, but I'm going with gold. And as you'll see as I go on, I've managed to have individual molds for each limb which I'm pretty happy with.
I'll start with what was the easiest: blue/teal. G2 Breakdown is a no brainer to fit that slot. Sure, there was no race car in the original lineup, but no other CW/UW figure hits that color. He nails it, so he's in.
Up next, and what actually set this whole plan in motion, was purple. I've chosen none other than the brand new TFCC Spinister. Granted he's expensive, and not purple top to bottom, but it's close enough AND is actually a match for the mode of the limb he's homaging (helicopter)! Next!
Up next, the mustard/gold. Also pretty easy, G2 Slingshot. Nuff said.
Lastly, and what you think would be easiest, black. But it was actually kinda difficult. There's three obvious choices: Trailbreaker, Air Raid, and G2 Dragstrip. If Breakdown is pushing it by being a race car, I don't need a second. And I don't like the blue being such a strong secondary color, same reason for not wanting Trailbreaker too. And Air Raid would work, but again two jets doesn't work for me. So where does that leave me? With UW Wandering Roller of course!
It'll be hard to get one of these, and sure black is only a secondary color. But as an arm, he's half black, and mode-wise I feel far more suitable than the other three. And somehow, I hope to get a drill piece in place of a hand from somewhere (one of the Computron sets maybe?).
My madness doesn't end here folks. We still have to address the hands, feet, and lacking torso mode. Perfect Effect and Reprolabels will pick up the slack. A purple set of hands and feet, the Motormaster torso set (with the shoulder stacks removed), and finally a set of BC Prime stickers (Nova version) simply for the chest/spark stickers since he'll be posed most likely with chest open.
I thought my Thunderclash combiner was going to be tough, but it's a cakewalk compared to this. So whada y'all think?

I think it's a sign from Primus.
