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.
