Review - Generations Scourge

[1AZRAEL1]

That does look sweet. I will more than likely display him like that.

There were 7 Sweeps?

I thought there were only 3 (not including Scourge).

(EDIT: Did some research - there could be more than 7 apparently, only 3 of them "have been graced with defined personalities and identifiers, namely Sweeps Two, Six and Seven")

Anyway, I was planning on getting a United version to represent Scourge and 3 Hasbro ones to represent his armada - no one else better copy me now!

Nah mate, I think you were copying me on this one

"His wings open up to be the batwing-esque shapes ala the cartoons! His coolness just went up a few notches alright!!!"

oh yesh so want to start sniping these at retail, i think three is enough

[autobreadticon]

nice! i think i just realised a configuration to use with the Sea Mini-Con Team, better informative pictures than the big TF websites

Well I finally received my Scourge today, so I thought I would post a few thoughts.

To start off with, his alt mode is very cool and everything is tucked away neatly with little (if any) indication of robot bits underneath.

The transformation is a little bit fiddly but is very well thought out and has quite a few surprising twists and turns (done without reading the instructions).

In bot mode, he's a very nice homage to G1 Scourge (awesome head sculpt) and displays reasonably well with Galvatron & Cyclonus.

My only gripe is that he's a bit short, but otherwise he's definitely a cool toy and a must buy.

8/10 (would be a 8.5 but his lack of height bothers me)

Interesting. I didn't realise he was that short. You wouldn't happen to have Titanium Scourge would you? I'd really appreciate a side-by-side comparison shot of them to see the height difference.

Nope... sorry mate. If you wanted a height comparison shot with anything in the Classicverse range I can help out with, but I don't collect the Titaniums.

There's really no comparison between the two IMO -

IIRC, Titanium Series were developed entirely by Hasbro (their Galoob division), whereas of course Scourge would have been developed with TakaraTOMY. Hence why Titanium Series TFs pretty much suck. I just get them for characters for which there are no alternatives (e.g. Dark Ages The Fallen, War Within characters etc.). I did get Scourge though cos someone was selling him loose for cheap. Can't wait to get RtS Scourge... besides, I got the Fracas Mini-Con standing around with nobody to binary bond to.
