How many Sweeps do you need?

[Paulbot]

Now that there's an official Scourge toy about to appear on our shelves, it's a no-brainer to buy multiples and set up your army of Sweeps.

But how many Sweeps should be in the army?

Two? Unicron created two when he created Scourge in TFTM.

Three? A third one appeared as soon as Cyclonus' armada disappeared off screen in the movie.

Five? That's how many TFwiki reports were ever on screen at the same time.

Seven? That's at least how many BotCon suggested there were.

As many as possible??


My childhood perception was that there are three Sweeps, and because the Sweeps used to be Insecticons (well at least two definitely were) they could clone themselves the same way the Insecticons did. So I am thinking I will get three Scourge toys to serve as Sweeps.

eh, no Peg. *flushes toilet*

I'm kind of expecting that at some point there will be an official re-paint of this figure into a sweep colour, I'll grab extras then.

I'm just after one, while I intend to get 3 sweeps I'd rather have them as different molds i.e. one Titanium, 1 Botcon, 1 Generations and G1 Scourge for Scourge.

[Skullcruncher]

I just buy as many G1 scourges as possible!

What if the Sweep repaint is just a lighter blue Scourge in a two pack with a Kup repaint (like RTS Cyclonus/Rodimus). Could make the army building more expensive!

I assume also that many people buying Hasbro Scourge for their sweeps might be using a United Scourge as their prime toy?

The Junkions had completely different looks to Wreck-Gar, but the Sweeps were exact copies so it's not really the same question with the two toys when it comes to army building.

Assuming I can find any I'll probably grab 3. I don't like my chances of getting any of the Botcon/Japanese/etc versions.

I'm not into army building, but will most likely pick up 2 more Hasbro Scourges to represent the Sweeps (as I already have one) and a United one to represent Scourge himself.
