Last but not least in this latest round of Hasbro bio updates are the bios for Transformers Generations Wave 6, Sergeant Kup and Scourge! Kup stays true to form with his bio mentioning his penchant for war stories, and Scourge’s keeps up the trend set by Universe Cyclonus and Galvatron, hinting that there is some dark secret to his origins (and conveniently keeping them ambiguous enough that his pre-incarnation, Thundercracker, can also receive a new toy possibly in the very next wave).
Read on to check out the bios! Sergeant Kup:
SERGEANT KUP is the oldest soldier any of the AUTOBOTS know. Even before the war he was a career military ’bot, dedicated to defending CYBERTRON against all threats. His long service has supplied him with an endless array of war stories, which he never hesitates to share with his comrades no matter what else is going on.Scourge:
Little is known about the origin of the immensely powerful hunter known as SCOURGE. He rarely speaks, and never reveals his secrets. Few who encounter him survive to tell the tale. More often, he descends on his target from the sky, lays waste to all who oppose him, and disappears back into the darkness of space.

I just love the name SGT.Kup.
Their both must haves alongside Wave 7's Thundercracker and Wheeljack.

In my interpretation, coincidence. Appearance is skin-deep, personality traits go further. Galvatron had Megatron's personality within him before his insanity.

Thing to remember though is that Scourge being ANYONE rebuilt was just something from the 1986 movie. The Marvel Comics, Devil's Due comics, IDW comics, Dreamwave comics, audio book dramas, etc all have him NOT being anyone else before he was Scourge. He was always just a Decepticon named Scourge! So this bio works with all those, without saying he was not refomatted from someone else either.

Then why does Scourge have that part on his head that looks suspiciously like Bombshells Cerebro shell cannon, and why does his alt-mode open like some sort of shell, like, say, a beetle shell? Hmmm? HMMM?
Seriously though, I apologise for starting this so don't start everyone getting all stressied about it. T'was only for funsies
Now I'm off to argue about Frenzy being blue…
Master Blaster
I say Thundercracker is Scourge, Skywarp is Cyclonus; this reflects in their personalities quite well as well as colour schemes.
I'd just say that the insecticons became the sweeps, and Armada was an animation error. Everything is far more reasonable this way.
Chaosbringer
Wicked Bios on both, loving Sourge's
ok..
1. in the movie i saw Thundercracker turning into Scourge and Bombshell/Skywarp turning into Cyclonus
2. till recently, the only question was who was Cyclonus, Skywarp or Bombshell? (i favorite Skywarp)
so… am i wrong on point 1 ? is there something i missed? (don't want to start anything here, just find out if there are a few more facts/theories i missed)
Moroni Prime
Though the gun is weird shaped, I don't believe it is in fact any sort of targetmaster. They'll likely save that for a potential Jazz repaint as Stepper. At least that's my guess anyway.

I'm not overwhelmed by either figure…
guess we'll see what kind of cash I have and what mood I'm in when they come out.

These cant hurry up enough for me. :/
Kraken
As if Transformers fans would ever argue about something so trivial

All we can say for sure is, based on the movie, Bombshell and Skywarp both turned into Cyclonus looking Transformers and not Scourge looking Transformers, which means Scourge was not Bombshell.
This'll just lead to Skywarp Cylonus Purple Thundercracker Scourge Blue argument.
Kraken
I can't say any more, in fact I've said too much already! *walks away whistling nonchalantly*
Angelwave
Oh please don't start……we already have a great (although hilarious) debate going on in Rumble's thread.
Sol Fury
Wasn't Cyclonus Bombshell?
Angelwave
You see….even Starscream agrees with me.
The Swordsman
I think I'll pass on Scourge, but I'm definitely getting Kup (if I can find him).
FreshDebesh
It would have been awesome if only once, Starscream accidentally called Scourge "Thundercracker." I bet it would piss off Scourge.
rhinox1701
damn.. was gonna pass on scourge..want em both!!!!
Kraken
Fixed it for ya
yuujin-mikeru
I wonder how long we'll have to wait to get a Hasbro G1 cartoon accurate repaint of Scourge?
Q: Do you guys think a 3 pack of Sweeps would sell or be just a huge waste of shelf space? I kinda like what they did with the BOTCON Sweeps being a different color than Scourge and wonder if the same will look good on this mold.
