    I can see myself overpaying for TFCC Scourge just so I can unite the toy with this tanker remold. Just so freaking sweet looking.

    That'll be my backup plan, in case I can't get the TFCC Scourge at a decent price.

    Oh... I don't feel so bad then. $20 is a bargain for two deluxes and two legends. :)

    Anyone have any idea when tfcc scourge will be shipped after some delays? Will he be out by this summer with the other subscription figures?

    sub service fig was suppose to come out one fig every 2 months. But with the delay not sure if they will stick to that or go one every month or even two every month depending how when the first one actually ships. which fig in which order is a suppose to be a surprise.

    I'll just buy a custom scourge which should be cheaper than the TFCC version.

    Hopefully there'll be a KO Scourge in the near future... along with a KO SG G2 Prime so I can get both without taking a second mortgage out of the house.

    I like the battle tanker sets. I think the battle tankers made a sort of poor figure (g2 laser prime) into a much better figure... I cant stand these repaints, Yes i know scourge and UM are cool, but with g2 laser prime mold!?!?! and than have to pay 150 + for the new tanker sets?? I think I bought the first battle tanker set at bbts when it was on sale for 75 ish.. this looks like a good set... but the mold sucks and way over priced for what it really is.

    Really? I thought the G2 laser prime mold was excellent, in fact my only gripe was that he wasn't a voyager.

    For the most part... if you take the regular prime and paint his blue bits black... most likely it'd suffice. The Tanker retools added even more parts to the set... making A LOT of the original details outside the thighs and forearms obscure. This is partly why an RTS or CH Prime can work quite well inside the DIA Tanker.

    There's a decent chance that the folks making KOs of the Tankers might also be making KO's of the Botcon figures as well. So getting KOs of the Deluxe G2 Prime mold might be another route eventually. (Not that I'm encouraging KOs... but the "exclusive" or "convention" decos are really quite overpriced IMHO.)

    +1!

    (are we still doing "+1" or is that not cool anymore?)

    Something about the colors on the original US release didn't do it for me, but the figure itself is awesome.

    It would appear his name is not "The Seal".

    Be careful. The more he gets of you, the stranger it feels.

    Yeah, it's not. Which is why I asked for the mods to update the thread name.

    This should be: "Maketoys Battle Tanker - Scourge/Nemesis remold"

    Something about Giant siding with Nemesis, and the Type 61 clones were created to stop him? Or maybe it's the other way around, Nemesis created the Type 61 clones from Giant, and now Giant and Battle Sentinel are trying to stop him?

    Anyone got a translation on that? I'm super rusty.
