Given the two modes and the pretty high level of movie/cartoon accuracy they were able to achieve, I think Scourge's transformation is quite clever and fun. It is a far cry from the very simple Titans Return deluxe, which I am happy to get rid of now that I have this one. The collapsing torso transformation step is unexpected, and he avoids the more traditional kind of shellforming we've seen. Both modes on their own are fun to play around with and swoosh. A lot of the joints are quite stiff, which makes him a bit hard to pose without putting a bunch of effort in. Hopefully it wears down a little, as the figure seems decently articulated otherwise.

Colours and paint are nice and crisp. The slightly vibrant tinge to the blue and greys enhances the movie aesthetic just that little more. The face is fully painted and detailed, he has the pink nail polish, and the paint apps don't look thin. My only complaint is that the Decepticon symbol on my copy seems a little bit squished/wonky, though it's not immediately noticeable.

Scourge is only a little bit on the smaller voyager side but not noticeably so. The comparison pictures we've seen make Kingdom Cyclonus look absolutely enormous next to him, which isn't necessarily bad. I am super excited for that figure too, as well as Leader Galvatron which we have not seen yet. A pleasant side benefit of having these new larger TFTM/Season 3 Decepticons is that my POTP Predacons (currently in robot mode) will now look not as comically large with the rest of my figures. In this way, Scourge is a great size and I am overall very pleased with the figure.
