What wouldn’t be disappointing then? They made the colours slightly lighter, even though they ought to be the same as Scourge. If anything they overachieved on what should’ve been a straight rerelease.  

 

I found a Sweep at a Walmart here in GR Michigan yesterday. I picked it up but haven't opened it yet.

 

I expected him to be coquelicot and chartreuse!

 

well, maybe if they scaled it down to a deluxe, I think it would fit a character of a sweep better

 

Hmm maybe if the front and back of the vehicle mode split into mini - Sweeps =p

 

They were the same size as Scourge too. They were clones. I also dont think they'd put the budget into designing the same figure again on a smaller scale to have it of a nameless set of background clones. I understand you wanting more, im just saying there isnt more to go after with this. It'd be like doing Cyclonus' Armada.

 

Yeah not exactly sure what people are expecting from the sweeps. It's like people haven't watched tftm lol

 

Saw a few at Collections Mania in Saint-Hubert earlier this week. They also had the Galvatron redeco and more Draculus figures.

 

But it wouldn't, because the Sweeps were the same size as Scourge. Plus they'd be tiny compared to Cyclonus and Galvatron.

 

This is all I could think of when Mini Sweeps were mentioned.

 

I'm sure Akom already has that covered, somewhere.

The Universe and Titans Returns versions of the character still exist, if that's what you want in your collection.

 

While I think the "Sweep" makes a better colored Scourge in my preferences, I'm gonna skip this release. I too have fallen to the "buy the same figure more than once with minor differences", but this time they are too minor for me to justify. I'm gonna use Scourge's older deluxe molds as the Sweeps and call it a day.

I would have biten if Hasbro had done a minor head remold like this

And a different colorscheme like this


That would have probably thrown off the purists, but it would have referenced other versions of the Sweeps.

 

Yep, I truly cannot believe they didn’t go this route. Anyone who wanted “Sweeps” identical would have been free to purchase as many Scourges as they wanted.

 

I'm gonna buy 6! I don't think you ever see more than 6 in the cartoon (including Scourge I suppose) but in Call of The Primitives Sweep 6 and 7 is mentioned but that poses the question, is Scourge Sweep 1? TakaraTomy says yes it seems (check TFwikis Sweeps page) so I'll buy 6 Sweeps to have as sweep 2 through 7.
Will be looking cool with Cyclonus, Scourge and (unfortunatly) slightly oversized Galvatron - Cyclonus is taller than Galvatron dammit! (I know Scourge is the same color as the rest of the sweeps in the 'toon, I like him having a slightly diffrent hue but I don't like Galvatron being bigger, somethings your fine with them changing and some not you know? There is no particular logic to it).

 

Y'know, aside from the fact that he was shortpacked and hard as hell to find. I never saw him in stores, only got mine from preordering.

 

Hasbro's slowly been offering "troop builder" Marvel figures on Pulse.

Down the road, Sweeeps would make a great option for TF. As would a generic Junkion from Wreck-Gar.

 

Has anyone here done the mod where you sand off the excess paint on the wrists in order to get the wrists to turn better? I was thinking of doing that but instead of standing them down I was thinking of using paint thinner.

 

Galvatron and logic do not belong in the same sentence.

 

Can't we go a step further and say that Galvatron doesn't belong near anything? It'd certainly be healthier and safer for everyone in the long run.
