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. :D

This figure's engineering is awesome! :eek:

I agree, this figure took me by surprise. I expected the engineering to be a bit on the simple 'shell cape' but that's not the case here, a nice feat of innovative engineering.

I was amazed at how there is hardly any undercarriage with the alt mode being almost flat. I was blown away when the wing bits opened up to reveal the weapons. I thought the weapons were going to be a non transforming Fracas but it seems like a completely new weapon that splits in two.

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 :p

Has taken a few of us by suprise. I like how well he stands next to Cyclonus and Galvatron as well. Can't wait to get him.

Ha! both of you are spot on! :D

In this case I'm almost certain that the center wheel should be mounted towards the front end of the fuselage because, as 1AZRAEL1 referenced, Scourge doesn't have a 'front and center' mounted prop and engine.

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

I think you guys are way too picky! Lol :D

It's a toy based upon a fictional aircraft to start with, so whether the landing gear placement makes it difficult to take off or land serves no real relevance - it's a non-existent aircraft, it's all fictional! :p

It's a great toy... that is all that needs to be said.

Indeed, you're dead-right Vector,
I myself have a quibble with it though as it may cause the Alt mode to not display correctly, i.e. because the central landing gear is too tall and too far back it pushes it over? :confused:
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.

for example g1 ending - 19 secs in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AepP9yAyrmo
