My thoughts exactly! :) Something tells me that there's not going to be an over abundance of Scourges left on the shelf when this wave comes out. :DQuote:

The only thing that I found a bit odd is that the landing gears seem to be backwards (two wheels at the front, one at the back) which would make a pretty difficult landing and take off but aside from that, it's superb.
Well considering old school planes used to have 2 at the front and 1 at the back, I think he could manage :pQuote:

Here's an example:

Sorry for the size of the pics. :o:p
But yeah, as a 'Flying Wing' I have to agree with Kup that it is a bit odd but as Kup also said, it's a very minor pick at an extraordinary figure! :D

It's a great toy... that is all that needs to be said.
+1 :DQuote:

That's just a hypothetical but yeah, at the end of the day this figure kicks a shitload of skid-plate! :D
OMG! G1 Trypticon has wheels on his tail, that's not where real tyrannosauruses had wheels! No one had even invented the wheel when tyrannosauruses were around! And if they had wheels on their tails they would have rolled backwards when they tried to sit down! Stupid Hasblow failed again!
:D
i think they're over-analyzing things too considering this is a Transformer, which typically dont do normal aircraft takeoffs/landings.Quote:

Guys, I like aircraft and was just making an observation based on that fact. :rolleyes:
@Sky Shadow: If T-Rexs had wheels on their tails dude, they'd be one step closer to this:

I did find your post pretty darn funny though! :p:D

(Sorry I had to, I'd really like to get my hands on Krulos and his T-rex pet though :D)
5, 4 sweep henchmen and 1 main Scourge guy, Id prolly try and get a takara release if it looks good to make it into Scourge. BUt as it is if its gonna be too expensive, I wont bother - Id just get all 5 Hasbro version.:)Quote:

just watched the video review and i love the weapon storage in the wings. i hope a third party designs replacement weapons that combine into fracas ;)
That dinosaur even has ankle warmers to go with those roller skates. GO THE EIGHTIES!! :DQuote:

Laser Prime is my least favourite of the upcoming deluxes, but seeing as he wields a sword (and my affinity for sword wielding bots), I'll still most likely pick this one up.
I like how his sword converts and stores away in alt mode... and that's about it for this guy - not a fan of how he looks in either his alt or bot mode, but then again the whole of G2 and this homage is 'meh' for me.
Dont forget the headbands!:D:DQuote:

Can't believe there is no detailing on the back lol.
Well Reprolabels will fix all that up. And Takara will as well I imagine.
Haha, seems to be the day of video reviews huh Kaiden? :p
Internet personality, Peaugh, reviews of:
Reveal The Shield - Legends Starscream
Reveal The Shield - Legends Prowl
Generations - Deluxe Scourge
Yes, I know this is the second video review of Scourge, the figure is freaking awesome and differing opinions are always welcome. ;):D
Interesting to see that legends Starscream has two cockpits... I actually didn't see that one coming.
I have the RTS Jazz and I have to say one of the best Classics in a long time. May even get the Takara version too :D
Yeah likewise... quite a clever transformation for a Legends toy though - it's probably one of the best transformations I've seen in this size class - a definite must-get for me despite my dislike for sub-Deluxe size molds.Quote:

He will be bought. Might buy two of him - one to keep MOSC and the other to modify and remove that horrid orange.Quote:

I'm also considering the suggestion of painting the Gun Barrel black ;), and I agree dude that importing a Legends Class figure would be near on impossible to justify. :oQuote:

Damn impressive that they got the proportions of robot mode so accurate considering the alt mode is hardly compromised!
dawww legends megatron is adorable...
Re Jazz, what is this trend that's developing of ignoring tail lights but putting superfluous paint apps everywhere else? (also see: Sidearm Sideswipe)
I like Peaugh's suggestion of painting it a darker grey so it doesn't look too out of place. I never even thought of that.Quote:

RTS Windcharger bio
Quote:
Windcharger isn't precisely the fastest Autobot on the ground, but he does have the highest acceleration. Heedless of any passengers he might be carrying, he goes from zero to 130 miles per hour in less than a second, and screeches to a stop almost as fast. His overloaded power plant generates a strong electromagnetic field, which he can direct into powerful blasts from the cannons in his arms.
Hmm that bio is soooo G1 hehehehe:D
kinda hoping the G2 Optimus would be voyager size , can't wait for a potential repaint to Scourge, displaying him with micron legend dark saber >:)
New official images! *Drooooool...*
Out in the US in January. I'm wondering if Scourge has the standard peg holes for the weapon, if so then Universe Cyclonus and Scourge might swap weapons so Scourge can get a targetmaster - I have Henkei Cyclonus so it's not like I need two Cyclonean targetmasters.
Perceptor, Kup and Scourge are the definite must haves in this lot IMHO - can't wait for them to be available for pre-order. :)
On a side note, Scourge is really stretching the dimensions of the deluxe packaging bubble! :eek:
