    I am expecting the part of the 40 Generations in 2013 will see some heavy repaints, including a Sweeps version of the current Scourge and one more Junkion with or without a new head mold to Junkheap.

    No less than three, to represent Sweep Two, Sweep Six, and Sweep Seven. Then you need at least one additional Cyclonus to represent And His Armada.;)

    I have exactly one Scourge (& one Cyclonus... They're still looking for Galvatron...)

    I have only one United and two Generations to make it fit the "format" scene of the movie. I am contemplating if I should get another Cyclonus to make his armada since I am lacking one warrior.

    The United version would had really been ideal had they given him his pink fingernails plus the entire metallic blue overhaul on his paint scheme. Some parts just look off with the Generations blue paint left over.

    I have only one Scourge now, but I'd like to get another and a United Scourge. I will get a MasterShooter to give to "real Scourge."

    The correct number is 4 generations scourges, 3 sweeps and one scourge

    that's the accurate amount from the cartoon, so if you are gonna troop build, might as well do it right

    I've ended up with four or five.....two of which are still in package in my closet due to space. It's a fun mold, as long as the legs don't pop off at the hips every time you touch it.

    4 Gen. Scourges. The united versions aren't even fit to be sweeps.

    "too long; didn't read"... Usually an insult in response to someone's overly wordy post

    People also use it as a summary statement for their own posts, if they think people won't read the whole thing (like OP did, though mostly with tongue in cheek).
    I did the same, even though the generally accepted number is 3:1 (or 7:1 since Botcon 09?), just because it's simpler to display with United Scourge in the center, flanked by one Sweep on the left and one on the right.

    I also use RTS Cyclonus as himself, and Universe as "and his armada." teehee

    I have 4 Generations Scourges. I replaced the purple Decepticon symbols with silver ones on 3 of them to make them Sweeps.

    The best Sweeps ever ever are Titanium. Smaller in stature than Scourge, with a G1 worshipping Alt mode.

    fan of Scourge from the comics, so I only needed the one :) 

    he's kitted out with the Fracas like gun designed by Ramrider on Shapeways, he's perfect!

    In the original cartoon there is a sweep 6 and 7 in one episode. That made me settle for a United version as Scourge and 7 Generations as sweeps... not that I have them all yet. I still need to get two more Generation Scourges.

    Ehh.. no?

    How come you claim this is the correct number?
