How many Sweeps do you need?

[gekisou]

0.

To me Scourge =/= Sweep (just as Wreck Gar =/= Junkion). As a kid, I only had 1 Scourge and I'd just used that one toy to represent the entire army of Sweeps. You'd just _imagine_ there were heaps of them. Same with Stormtroopers, COBRA Vipers and any other "generic soldier" toy... I never bothered with army building. I'd rather spend the money on getting new toys.

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.

Wouldn't United Scourge stick out like a sore thumb next to Henkei Cyclonus & Galvatron? The Hasbro release seems to best fit in with what's come before, that's why I'll be using Generations Scourge as my main man.

Hoping it wont be shortpacked or worse we skip it here in Aus, so my vote is as much as I can get my hands on heheheh, army building!!!

thanks Paulbot that made alot of sense, two Cyclonus must be Thundercracker and Skywarp, i'ii get three Scourges to represent the three fallen insecticons, i remember in the cartoon Cyclonus referred to them as disposable and replaceable

I'll just be getting one, epsecially with the Ratbat/Leozack/Redeco which will be coming from this mold.

Quite a few I'd say:

There were no sweeps in the comics, at least up until IDW era. So One Scourge is enough for me. If I see some Scourges going REAl cheap I might get some more, but with other toys to buy can't really see the appeal of getting more at full price.

that's my intent. But with these flying off the shelves, I am just going to get whatever I can get my hands on.

I'm thinking 7, but could be as many as I can get my hands on. The resons is that there is such an imbalance on Autobot/Decepticon numbers in season 3. The "main" Decepticons were basically Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge, while there must be 3 to 4 times more Autobots than them. I need a Sweep army to even up the playing field.

Right now, I have 3 Generations Scourges; 1 more to come from Ultra Magnus; 1 United Scourge reserved in Singapore; and another 4 or more reserved in HK.

The mix in colours do not bother me. The "real" Scourge would be the one holding the Japan exclusive Fracas!
