    Haha, and they called him a Predacon. Which can be argued from the Japanese perspective, but I always preferred the Destron/Destronger/Predacon/Decepticon split.

    He's gorgeous. Unfortunately, he's too tiny and I have no intention of paying for MT's upgrade kits (one I have for G2 Prime is enough).

    Hey the club one is good too, but this one is better IMO. It's pure Black Convoy. I would have preferred a "pure" Scourge as well, red with Decepticon symbols, etc. And the darker base gray here is on point. But I'll take em all. :)

    The legs on mine came really loose, did anyone else have that problem? I want to know if it's worth trying to get another one.

    Otherwise, still a great looking toy.

    My thigh swivel was loose, and I think 2005 Newsie Jacer said the same thing about his.

    Unfortunately, the MT upgrade kit for Black Convoy / Scourge was never made... at least not as a stand-alone set. The "Nemesis" trailer comes with their retooled "Gento" decoed like Scourge, and most bits from the SG Prime update, also in said deco.

    Kind of surprised no company KO'ed that SG Prime set in Scourge colors... unless I've been that out of the loop with 3rd Party wares.

    Yeah there where some KO's of them, not that good though.

    I'm more temtped to get this guy as TFCC's is priced high. But then I'd have 2 Scourges.

    I'd always seen in video reviews that the KOs for the battle tanker were surprisingly sturdy. I ended up getting one out of curiousity, and it works fine as just the tanker.

    The leg attachments don't work too well for trailer storage or the super mode though, and I'm not bothering with the head swap. No idea if the legs in super mode is due to my trepidation or bad tolerances (there's stressing like an over-tightened screw inside one of the leg bits). There's also rusted screws in places. Haven't noticed stripped ones.

    There's also another KO set that was the magnus/shattered glass prime stuff. But it's the same cost as the main tanker KO.

    You say that like it's a bad thing. :D 

    I got this guy on the way, and he'll be standing tall with my TFCC Scourge as well.

    Just swap the forearms between the two and slap some reprolabels on the empty doors and take the blue paint off the former Black Convoy parts.

    Edit- Or just push the door pins out, rather easy it seems.

    I'm flipping between this with the MT battle tanker set or just getting their Nemesis figure. I really love this character but this actual design has always been a bit off to me.
