    That’s crazy talk. Fanstoys don’t give a F about any company not named Takara. Also with Scourge you can have several copies from different companies to differentiate your Sweeps. They will show him probably after they get a few bots out namely Cyclonus. Who knows he might be shown at tfcon next month. Hopefully Cyclonus will be in hand by then.

    Why on earth would it be dead?? There's no way they'd have Cyclonus right around the corner and not eventually do Scourge & the Sweeps. Besides, The silhouette has already been teased along time ago.

    Nah, just in a coma. They'll have him ready by 2023 or sooner. ;)

    Seeing as how FT Quietus (Cyclonus) is just now arriving to sellers, this release is a given. It's just a matter of when.

    Thanks and done. I do suspect it probably won't be until at least the end of next year as I haven't seen a name announced for it yet. All I've seen is the silouette.

    Just know that the fingers are prone to breaking, and the figure can be a little floppy. But, it stands okay. If that will bother you, I would hold off until a better one gets released. Other wise it’s just okay. Not bad, but not great either.

    The only flaw with the XTB Scourge is how his feet are designed to fold out. All they had to do was add a hinged hatch and problem solved. But NOOOOOOOOOOOO! They decided that it would be more interesting to have people pinch their fingers and squeeze the parts through a small space at just the right angle. I have one. And despite that one issue, I am happy to own him. Not perfect, but very good. There's a lot of paint on him, too (wings & thighs), so be careful not to chip those areas. Again, I am happy to own one and would not trade for the Fans Toys release at all! FT has been mostly a let down for 2018, and I am not enthusiastic about them as a company at all at this point. I have very little faith that FT will produce a better or even a decent MP style Scourge. Too many fizzles and too few sizzles...

    FT Koot = Meh alt mode, transformation sucks. Good robot mode. Decent articulation. I can live with it at least.
    FT Rouge = Steaming POS. Only good part is robot mode.
    FT Apache = Meh copter mode, ugly car mode, transformation sucks, good robot mode but shoulder articulation could've been better.

    FT Dracula = Solid release. Good transformation, good G1 based Bat mode, very nice robot mode.
    FT Quietus = Great robot and alt modes. Canopy will not sit flush, transformation sucks. Paint chips and knees damage chest.
    FT Hydra = Can't recall specifics, but another big let-down.

    I hope FT can do Scourge well. His design is my favourite of the Unicronian Deceps. I'm a sucker for a vampire space boat I guess.

    They WILL do Scourge. The silhouette was teased along with Quietus' way back. It's just a matter of when.

    How is Hydra a let down so far? Only a handful of people even have it in hand since it just was released 2 days ago. So far people seem to love it as long as they want the toon aesthetic that’s been the trend.

    Exactly. Does he even own Hydra? Watching his recent posts he's developed a bias against Fanstoys recently. It's like he's expecting bad things from them at this point.

    Some people making negative statements might be related to a competitor.

    I finally bit on the XTB version during the recent flash sale. I held out for years but having Sovereign and getting Quietus recently had me jonesing for a MP Scourge. I'm quite certain that a FT Scourge will be at least 1.5 - 2 years away at best considering their glacial release schedule. Even if this XTB version ends up getting sold or retired in a couple years I think I'll feel like I got my moneys worth by having him on my shelves in the meantime. Plus I only paid $106 after Babba discount and flash sale discount.
