The Return of Obscured Product Leaks with Studio Series Leader ROTB Scourge

I don't know about you, but I sure didn't miss the days of getting piece meal leaks with a lot of the product obscured. But here we are again with leader class ROTB Scourge from Studio Series. He and Optimus Primal are the only ROTB leaders that we know of at the moment with SS86 Snarl being the other leader coming out next year. The toy in the photo is also not fully transformed, but it does give us an idea at the detail we'll get with the toy and we have a good look at its headsculpt which resembles the Terrorcon logo used in the film. Hopefully this means that the toy is well into production and we'll get better shots of this figure which will give us a better look at the character design. We can see that he has a claw hand, as we saw in the trailer and his other hand seems to have a blade type weapon, probably what he uses to impale Bumblebee in the film.

Hmm...the face reminds me of Sauron...

As for the rest of him, I see that he's not fully transformed, but honestly I was expecting him to be bulkier. I won't say anything else until I see a clear shot of the figure displayed properly, but so far, just like with the movie itself, I'm not impressed. Too bad, this was really the only figure I was looking forward to in the whole line. A big, bulky, menacing monstrosity that I thought might give Grimlock a run for his money. Maybe some better production shots will change my mind.

I was too, from initial impressions from concept art we weren't privy to, but in the trailer he looked quite lean and generic. This looks pretty close to that.

Now this is out there, we probably won't have to wait long for a better look at the bot mode

Sorry...to me the leaks were the most fun and I DID miss the leaks, just to watch people panic, complain, then eventually recant when the better, finished, more accurate figure pictures come out.

The only part I'm interested in right now is the face, which almost has a samurai vibe to me...

Yeah I get that vibe as well, though its also looking familiar to me, like I've seen a similar design in a movie.

Welp, i don't feel comfortable making any kind of observation about that figure except it looks like he's got a big twisty claw/pincher on one hand and that's interesting :lol:

I'm eager to see a proper picture soon, I can't exactly comment on a photo like this, though I do at least enjoy the overall vibe with the colours and headsculpt.

I would, but my retail one is still in moving totes. I will get there eventually. But EM-Bee is right, the PF one is darker and has multiple other colors with it too.

Scourge looks interesting, like the looks of the head at least. Given that we are nearing when Wave 1 2023 should theoretically be coming out, wonder how long until the rest of the wave are properly revealed.

I got no robots for christmas, but Laserbeak did chill with me for New Years, I still like him

Scourge seems fairly screen acurate from what we can tell, but we'll have to see more pics. I like the alt mode design but I'm not sold on robot mode from what we've seen in the trailer.

Also, I finished something I've been working on for a long time - my custom SS-44 DOTM Optimus Prime with hand painted flames! Did some modding as well, adding the missing roof lights and longer smokestacks!

Thank you!

For a long time I really didn't think I'd ever get all the flames done, but I'm very happy with how they turned out!

The head sculpt may sell me on the toy for that reason.

I remember someone on TFW2005 mentioning the crusader from Indiana Jones 3. I can kinda see it from the neck.

I'm also curious about the claw on the left arm. Wonder if it's mistranformed or if it's actually supposed to look so large and inhuman.

It doesn't seem like that long ago that I had gotten the tiny turbo changer Sentinel Prime and thought "Man, I really hope we get a Studio Series figure of this guy." I'm very glad that not only did we get a figure of him, but it's a really good one!

Speaking of which, it's also hard to believe that we're so close to finishing the DOTM cast in Studio Series. Only a few more to go! We should be hearing something about Hatchet soon, and hopefully Que is out before too long to wrap up the main cast, but I'd still really like to see Devcon and some of the Decepticon protoforms too! Maybe even an Orbital Assault Carrier/ Decepticon Fighter that could fit deluxe Bumblebee? That'd be really cool. I have no idea how they'd tackle a Driller, but I'd be on board for it! xD

Holy crap your work is outstanding. I grew up in auto body shops and know how incredibly difficult painting flames are on a full sized car, let alone something the size of a toy. The fade work on the orange/gold to red beneath the flames is outstanding as well. Well done!!!

Sentinel looks great! They really did him good in SS, he is a really good figure.

I really hope we get around to continuing and finishing DotM. Que is really needed. And I want to see a Titan Driller and commander Devcon. I would love to see the Orbital assault carrier too, they could make that a voyager figure, or even a leader where you have a deluxe sized protoform with armor that forms the fighter ALA Siege Magnus.
