    Man, I wish the alt modes for the Studio Series Dreads looked as good as the ones for DotM Crankcase...

    Renewing my appreciation for Boney McBonecrusher here. I haven’t touched this figure in a while. I still really wish he had more head articulation side to side. I hope we get an MPM soon!

    It was confirmed today in the livestream that Freezer’s altmodes are a gun with a 5mm peg for Scourge, and that he can store on Scourge’s truck mode behind the cab, ontop of the previous “weapons platform” mode we have seen.

    565BA104-2BCF-49BA-80C3-9EBE64ABF427.png

    I always knew Scourge would never have 5 modes proper like some people clamed after reading he would have 5 modes. It’s kinda baffing anyone would think a Core figure had 4 different gun modes. But regardless. I love the look of him.


    I’m guessing he isn’t a toy-line only thing, but it’s odd the leaks for the movie never mentioned Scourge having a minion. So, is he one of the hoarde Scourge summons at the final battle they just gave modes for, or is he a minion? IDK.

    Ah, okay. So I guess Freezer is just represeting the hoarde from the final battle and they gave him so added functionality.

    Scourge being a Leader class makes a bit more sense now, his size really came across better today than the other shots we've seen of him.

    I'm honestly really glad I have no interest in the stuff from the Bee movie/RotB. It's saving me so much money. Scourge looks kind of cool, a lot of neat detail, but not $55 cool.

    Scourge and Battletrap both look pretty good, but I think I'm gonna have to be convinced by their on-screen appearances before I decide if I'm gonna get them or not. Scourge's truck mode looks killer though, I'll give them that

    I don’t see how people come to these conclusions. Like, he’s never been photographed with other figures or frames of reference before recently yet people still yell about him not being worth the money?? I had to argue with someone on Instagram last week that Cheetor is indeed a voyager, all cause he saw the dimensions of the box in a listing and thought it was the figure’s dims and doesn’t understand centimeters. Like WTF people calm down.

    In all fairness Crankcase’s design didn’t have to deal with dreadlocks. It’d be fairer to compare DOTM to Berserker - who frankly is nothing short of acceptable.

    Others have needlessly made a big deal over it but I do see where they're coming from. His engineering doesn't seem to be the primary reason he's a Leader, I think it's more that he's just a huge character and because scale is a focus, Leader class made the most sense to the designers. However, comparing Scourge to other Leaders like Shockwave, Grindor/Blackout, The Fallen and Grimlock makes him feel like less of a Leader to me and more of a Voyager in terms of the engineering. The back of his truck mode is very hollow with obvious kibble and he has a huge backpack in robot mode. Like, easily the biggest backpack I think I've ever seen in Studio Series. On a Leader. Those are things that I wouldn't really expect to see on such a thing. And like you said, until today we hadn't really seen just how big he actually is compared to the other RoTB figures so it's nice to have that context and it makes sense that he's a Leader in that regard.

    To be fair to Hasbro and Takara though, Scourge's design in the film reminds me of the AoE and TLK designs; highly streamlined with very minimal alt mode parts visible on the robot mode. And of course Scourge transforms into a big, bulky truck which is in stark contrast to his robot mode. That makes finding the right balance between modes even harder. With all of that said though, I still think he looks really cool and I'm definitely going to pick him up. There's enough detail and size on offer that makes him ultimately worth the money in my opinion, but I completely understand those that think he's disappointing for the price point.
