This toy looks amazing; demonic in both robot and truck modes, like something from Mad Max. Scourge's face resembles the Terrorcon insigne and is painted in silver. Much of this toy is made from dark orange plastic that's been painted over with greys. Hasbro designer Sam Smith explained that this was done to allow Scourge to emulate that spooky orange inner glow that he has in the film. The parts of the truck bonnet can be tricky to tab in, and since they are made of clear plastic, it is advisable to be careful.

I would prefer for the scythe to be a detachable accessory instead of being permanently attached. It would've made at least one step of the transformation simpler. The scythe can technically be removed, but it's not designed for it. The left arm is designed to be removed and replaced with either the cannon accessory included with this toy, or Freezer (sold separately). The instructions show that the cannon can be attached to the back robot, although it can also be attached to Scourge's buttocks, which I prefer as it conserves shelf space. Granted storing it on the back looks better, but I appreciate that the designers have kept collectors in mind by giving us a more space-saving option.

This toy is apparently based on an earlier design of the character. This is why the smokestacks are visible in robot mode on the toy, but not in the trailer. The neck is thicker and the chest grill is more pronounced. These things honestly don't bother me though; overall I think that this is a great figure. Recommended.
