Man, Scourge is definitely a good argument for why Galvatron should have been a Leader.

The back of the alt mode can clean up nicely. Better than what we got lately (I just could not get over that Galvatron in hand)
What you saw in the first pics is them trying to recreate the look in the film where he has a bunch of scrap in the back.My issue with the alt mode is that gap/hole around the nose area.
What other lines do you buy? While the other lines do tempt me, I always feel ripped off when looking at the price, especially for Star Wars stuff (in either scale).

The kibble on the back of the alt mode bugs me, but maybe in hand I would be able to ignore it more (as is often the case when handling a toy versus scrutinizing an image for flaws)

These new pictures make him look even better, especially next to bee, he looks quite imposing.

So there isn’t going to be a deluxe version of Arcee?!? Like why not? I was gonna snatch up a deluxe version of her. I’m waiting to see more trailers for this movie. After the Wheeljack reveal which was disappointing head sculpt wise I’m having concerns this has veered away from the magic and shot tellling that was bumblebee. Will wait and see and fingers crossed we get a deluxe of this Arcee body mold cause it’s one I would get for sure!

I'll never understand why Hasbro doesn't put its foot down with the movie designers when it comes to the models they're shown. Hasbro should tell them that whatever designs are shown have to be final so they can have the product out at the same time as the movie that LOOKS like it came from the movie. Transformers is Hasbro's property, they should have more control.

yegah that looks pretty bad or obvious, seeing the movie pic the barrel not being under the smoke stacks/no door step probaly due to transformation looks off too. At least if the door step was in the right place the barrels could be improvised/upgraded.
The price creeps on all hasbro stuff is even more offputting but I think I've just been a bit transformered out recently -I like some TF toys in every range from botbots, rescuebots to SS or MP.
My other Hasbro stuff is
Power Rangers lightning collection,
GI joe classified even if they dont want people outside the states collecting them,
GI Joe original scale (not bothered if O-ring or not),
D&D cartoon and others (I'll wait to get Huge Grunt cheap to have him forever melting inside the gelatinous cube),
Recently started on marvel legends because I'm an idiot,
also started on Star Wars Retro because of how bad modern media for star wars is to me and I have had all the POTF vehicles I gave to my son come back to me for storage (slave 1, falcon, queens spaceship etc). I was happy enough with having the WOTC minis before another moment of madness.
I'm even tempted for some of the Indy stuff
Also on a side note, I saw in a store today the star wars vintage collection Bo Katana? spelling unknown to me, and her arms can give any optimus primal a challange in ape like proprtions eeeeeewwww.

I got Gladiator vibes as well. Also reminds me of the Witch King of Angmar from LOTR.

Which specific toy are you referring to? Scourge and Arcee look pretty close to what we've seen. I ask because the discrepancy may simply be due to toy limitations and not the time factor. Like Scourge's truck mode. That didn't change and yet we see some innacuracies, like the missing gas tank.
Though I am curious to see how wildly different some toys get from the final designs, like all the Hatter toys in the BB line having that mask that she never has in the film.

Nice mashup of the G1 (there's something in the head) and RiD characters, I really love it. When the bad guy's name leaked, I thought it would homage Cybertron's character due to the beast theme of the movie. Glad I was wrong.

Scourge looks definitely different. Can't say I'm really feeling the general look in either mode, but he is different enough to not just be a black Prime, while still maintaining familiar throwbacks.
Like a corrupted, decayed version of Prime.
Also, that face / mask, am I the only one getting an evil Autobot logo vibe form it?
I'm surprised there's no comparison to DoTM Megatron.

It's entirely down to production times. Most toys take 18months to a year to develop or so we have been told. Movie production takes that long, but there is a lot of stuff constantly in motion, so for Hollywood that much lead time is FOREVER.
I don't think Hasbro wants to jeopardize their relationship with Paramount. They aren't in this to tell a story so they want it to be successful, and KIDS aren't going to (as a whole) care about relatively minor detail inaccuracies. Maybe there is compromise, in that Hasbro can design the body and hold off as long as possible for head sculpts, but if I am thinking of this then I am sure they are too. Maybe not though.

Maybe one of the best truck bots produced. I like everything about this figure. Gimme.

Just realized who he reminds me of with that face mask...
Just add some flames all around him and he's a dead ringer for The Fallen:

I like Scourge "as-is" as a toy. But ever since the Studio Series came out, I've learned to wait.
Unless a final trailer/movie comes out and it looks really accurate, I'm not pre-ordering.

I was talking more broadly across the movies. I know it's a pipe dream but something could be done.

Paramount is just the distributor, they're not part of the production. Heck, Hasbro has basically been using their own production companies since Dark of the Moon (Dreamworks was only involved in the first two movies).

I totally agree with the animated lockdown reference. It was exactly what I thought also. I also find it interesting that his mask looks like a slight variation of the autobot symbol. Like tarn with the deception mask

Now I can't unsee Lockdown, truck edition. Not only does he have the skinny legs, he does have the same silhouette for the head!
