Eagle has updated his blog with his latest project images of his custom garage kit Transformer Scourge. Like the Kup we reported on previously this is potentially going to be a hand-made resin kit – a true garage kit third party item in the style of the Jizai Toys releases. Check out the latest images at his blog. He’s shared some more images with us on our 2005 boards – click on the discuss link below to see them all.

a bit off topic, just received my xtransbots' powerglide and i am not impressed.i am usually very forgiving with flaws but the plastic is really rough and cheap looking.some stress marks from assembling this figure and some joints are loose..if this is any indication of their future products then forget it.

They are sure keeping us in suspension because the pics are without the hands,LOL

Man, this is so NICE. Hope I can get my hands on one at a reasonable price.
Wyvern
I hope the hands are cool. Really want pointy finger tips that are pink. Lol.

deluxe size or bigger, keeping my fingers crossed. to me, legends or scout sized figures are just too tiny and fragile.a good chunk of bot is where it's at

CHUG is indeed updated G1 and has already done a deluxe Scourge. But not being much of a CHUG collector (and not being impressed with Generations Scourge's 'updated' alt mode either) I don't see why that thing's existence should affect opinion of this particular figure.
It just seems mad to me that anyone would turn down the chance for a screen-accurate version of a G1 movie character, just because there's already an 'updated' (i.e not accurate to anything) figure with the same name. If you happen to prefer the Generations toy, fine, but spare a thought for those of us who want a proper G1 version!
I really like this figure. Awesome bot mode. Alt mode could do with a more pointed front end IMO, but still a very good job. And although I welcome a toon-accurate figure of any G1 character at any size, I do really wish that this were bigger… Masterpiece size please!
Well that sounds promising. Hope they do upscale it!

The sixshot link that you posted,the face of sixshot is sure cartoon accurate compare to G1 sixshot
Batman
I'm surprised by how much praise this is getting over that Sixshot we saw not too long ago. Folks talked all kinds of trash about that, and honestly IMO it looks much better than this.

i honestly thought there would have been more love for this! never been a fan of the soap dish either BUT i have always thought the bot mode of scourge was awesome and its captured perfectly in this!
cuters
Its not that i don,t like it its awsome i just don,t care to collect any of the 86 crew i have hotrod ultra magnus ang galvatron they just are locked away in a box they have no place with my 84/85 bots and cons

TakaraTomy could have make the plane mode more cartoon accurate but oh well,this United new plane mold looks nice too

on the Seibertron forum it was mentioned that xtransbots are teaming up with them, which means the flying bathtub will be a "general" release which will make it somewhat "affordable" I for one love Generations Scourge to death but this one here is ridiculous.
MisterFanwank
I can't wait to see hands on this.
Renidragon
I wish I had your wallet.
I agree. My first thoughts on seeing this were the following:
"Wow, that looks pretty good."
"Where's the hands? Probably not finished yet. That's cool. Good WIP."
"…why?"
Well, I'm happy for you guys who don't like Gen. Scourge… It definitely looks pretty awesome. I've got a Gen. Scourge, and if I didn't, he's plentiful around my stores… I'm pretty happy with it. I like the update. Not a super fan of space soap-dish.

looks nice and all but the figure's face seems to be too long and body is a bit blocky instead of smooth.

Thanks! Liking things that are completly G1 is fine but at least the CHUG tries to modernize them while keeping what the old fans love about them. I guess the third party companys are making some fans who want more G1 esqe content happy.
Bountyan
Exactly. But I think most people here just love having stuff that's exactly the same as G1. But I agree with you.

WOW! The REAL Scourge! First off, I'd like to thank everyone that said they were passing this Scourge up. Especially the posters on the Seibertron forum. So when this Scourge comes out buyers like me should have no problem getting extras for the Sweeps.
kaijuguy19
Honestly I don't see any reason for this. I mean we already have a Generations Scourge why do we honestly need a pure G1 version? Isn't the whole point of the CHUG is to update classic G1 characters into modern day forms?
Stormcrow
Agreed. I for one, am really unhappy with how the hasbro Scourge turned out. This is exactly what I was wanting. I LOVE the head sculpt.
