    I'm not home to actually check, but can the Scourge mold actually mount the blaster on his arm like shown in that robot mode pic? I'm reasonably sure he can't.

    Obvious choice, but long-awaited and I bet hoped for by a lot of people. Well done.

    So a Bounty Hunter becomes a Knight?

    Interesting.

    Nice. Now all he needs is a little Sleezardo figure to go with him.

    Thought this was a no brainer genius idea...and they nailed the head design (Good job, FP!).....but I don't actually like the over all effect now that I see it. Proportions aren't really great for Devcon and the color scheme is just kinda bland.

    Plus, I guess he's a "Knight" then? Yeah. If anything he SHOULD be a Pirate.

    Nice! He was one of the "D's" I wanted for this set - Devcon, Detritus and Dai Atlas. I was using a custom Devcon from Botcon 09 Scourge as a placeholder for the Autobot bounty hunter that will now go back to being Scourge (since I didn't make any invasive customizing, just a headswap) now that this is getting made.

    Considering the mixed reaction Metalhawk's human face got, I doubt we'll see a non-Transformer in a Botcon set ever.

    Neither do I, but I'm actually happy that he doesn't have a knight symbol on him. He's probably still a bounty hunter in-story, he likely just teams up with the knights temporarily.
