Great review, and WoW what Great Engineering Hasbro! My only complaint is that the blue and white in Alt Mode could be a little more styling. But hey, there's no robot junk! so, what I can say. This fig is quite awesome.
Did you completely miss Voyager Mindwipe 2010, nope definately not being repainted as Mindwipe, however, Ratbat and Noise Maze sound very interesting, especially since I'm no big fan of gotees' on TFs Man Either Ratbat or Noise Maze would be awesome stuff!
It's an acronym for Classics Henkei Universe Generations - essentially every "line" of toys that you use in your Classics collection. With United and Reveal the Shield coming up, we're gonna need to update to Chugurs or something. Or maybe just Gogurt.
I kinda think it would be awesome if they did the other famous caped/facial hair guy and gave us an Alpha Trion from Scourge.
Not sure if this has been pointed out in the first 9 pages but those wings would be infinitely better if you could rotate them before you peg them in place. If you could do that the hinges would open like the original figure and give more of a 'cape' appearance.
I was wondering how the arms transformed, wasn't expecting that though. Awesome engineering, the original pics made this figure look like crap. Now he looks awesome and easily one of the best in the line. I am glad they took the extra year for this figure cause I would hate to have seen what he would have looked like in Universe. The engineering lately has put Universe to complete shame!
For the whole reuse discussion, if you remold the head and wings a little he could make a pretty decent Alpha Trion. Or maybe I'm just insane. Or it's the beard throwing me off.
Wing storage is so cool. I've always liked the pics of this guy. I wonder how large he is compared to the Titanium version.
I don't normally army build, but after seeing the video I will get 2-3 of this toy so I can get a Sweeps army going, and using Titanium Scourge as the leader of the army. What a great looking toy!
Glad I had him preordered a month back on BBTS for the entire box with him and Kup. Bring on the Wreck-Gar review!
Nice review and AWESOME scourge. I only wish his eyes would be red. I will definitely trooper build this one.
Well, I WAS planning on only getting Lugnut, Prime, and Kup from the Reveal the Shield line, but you've sold me completely on this guy. That wing design is epic- the weapon storage is too cool. Instant buy.
I liked this guy a lot from the beginning, now he's just plain awesome. I'm surprised at how many people were planning on skipping him, and seemed to favor the Titanium version. (awful looking toy, just like most of that line) I love the flying wing design myself, though it could use some more color or detailing on the wings. Even as a kid I thought the flying bathtub of doom was pretty lame. Sometimes G1 is wrong. Fantastic looking update of Scourge.
