Mother-loving excellent! This is what I've been waiting for, bring on the pre-orders!

Wouldn't mind some extra sneak peaks in the meantime, though. :oops:

The inevitable repaint, possibly more requested than the recent 2 repaints for SG Prime and SG Magnus. I would also go for a traditional-colored Magnus, like someone photoshopped awhile back.

And these will STILL be cheaper than Transformazing Toys upgrades! :KREMZEEK:

HOLY CRAP!! That's friggin' insane. The horns on the head make it look vaguely Nova Prime-ish. Really wishing I'd pre-ordered the stupid TFCC figure now.

Spawn, is that you? :APPLAUSE:

The inevitable repaint is coming and I do want it. But for me the cape is silly. Im not into the whole Dr. Doom robots with capes look. Depending on the price, Ill probally jump on it. But if a KO comes out first for 60 bucks, Im not gonna spend 100 more just for a cape and the SG Magnus extra parts.

Looks like Nova prime

In my opinion, the 'SG Magnus extra parts' are essential for Scourge. Those shoulder bits are what make him actually look like Scourge in my opinion (the original anyway):

Without them, he's just a black powered up Prime.

F@*%. It's awesome things like this that make me cry bitter, unemployed tears. Just putting a display together and came across the MakeToys Battle Tanker set and was like "This set is awesome. I wonder how those upgrades are doing?"

You got a good point, I agree. I never looked at the original toy that close. But the cape is silly.

Agreed, my TFs can leave their silly capes in their closets at home

The image isn't showing here, but yes, except given the larger proportions of the bot mode with the add-on kit, I think the new shoulder bits are needed (or at least they sure look a heck of a lot better IMO).

Agreed the shoulder pieces makes a world of difference on my SG Magnus.

Really not looking forward to paying for that TFCC Scourge.

I have a subscription membership, but I doubt I'll be pulling the trigger on this add-on set. I'm not really getting the subscription figures for Scourge so I'll probably keep him in truck mode on my shelf next to my Japanese RiD (Car Robots) Scourge.

I only have Scourge preordered at BBTS. Only getting it for this add on set. I'll have to drop him if I don't end up getting this set.

Dang it! Had Scourge on pre-order until the other day. This set is looking rather good. Just don't really have a place for it or Scourge in my collection.

EDIT: HA! Someone cancelled their order. He's mine again! [size=50]I really can't afford all this.[/size] :BANG_HEAD:

EDIT-EDIT: Wait a minute! :-?

This thing isn't even using the RTS Scourge figure, is it? I'm wondering if this is another case similar to their Nova Prime where they appear to be using a custom figure (hopefully one that'll come with the set.)

Good eye! Noticing the grey cab top and the red detail on the front wheel covers. And where's the cape?!?!?!?

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 4:26 pm**

I didn't notice that. I'm betting they're using the same base vehicle that MT's using for their Angel figure. They'll probably make these two enemies or something like that...

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 10:41 am**

The thighs and knees look different, too.

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2013 5:02 pm**

Hey everyone I figure I could try to save you all from buying the TFC scourge figure when you don't need to. Just click on the pics and you will see where the differences lie in the figures for TFC scourge, Maketoys scourge and maketoys nova prime. personally I would love to get the two figures from maketoys when they come out :grin:

Remember you growing older is mandatory growing up is not.
