I'm kinda OK with the Takara version, as it'll be cheaper for me to import here than the club version, and I like the extra red accents around the shouldersSabrblade wrote:Fun Pub's Scourge has the more show-accurate shoulder paint:
Takara's Black Convoy seems to instead just have solid gray (or bizarrely gray and silver) shoulders instead of gray and black.
I will admit that Takara's has the extra stripes on the side of the truck mode, but it's not a major loss. Nor are the Combatron symbols on his shoulder that much of a bonus since the guy never had those on him outside of scenes toward the end of the series where he was trying to control Fort Max/Brave Max.
And the bright neon teal of Scourge seems to stand out a lot more than the more muted teal on Black Convoy. In fact, while it could just be the image, all of the colors on Black Convoy seem more muted compared to Scourge's colors.

LIGHT PIPING?!?!?
It's funny cause, I knew the light piping was there but totally forgot about it when I looked at my Scourge.Cobotron wrote:That's what friends are for.
What a crap out by the club for getting rid of it. And you want how much for that figure?
uuuuuuUUUUUGGGHHHHHHH I KNOW RIGHT? I don't want to spend 200+ on their Nemesis Not-Prime when all i want is to upgrade my TFCC ScourgeGauntlet101010 wrote:Hm. Kinda like the US version better. But it's not like there's a big difference.
Hopefully this will push Maketoys to release their Battle Tanker as an accessory for this. They have their own Scourge, but I just want the trailer part.

If patient, you can get a TFCC Scourge for about 50 bucks. With the history of Japanese Con exclusive figures have (and I think BC will be popular) I really feel that once it's all said and done he'll cost about 100.
Of course there's time. If you wait, and find that BC is too expensive, Scourge will still be there. I'm not trying to institute panic here

Regular head. The alternate one is a skull-like head with a misshapen helmet.
