    Ya know they could have just redecoed one of the targetmasters as Fracas, added an extra blast effect and made it a leader class figure.

    If people ever argue that “insert character” is useless to make or too redundant again, just remind them of Studio Series Sweep.

    I have that silver Centurion Drone that came with the Accessory pack. I've been using him as Slammer until the official Slammer comes out.

    If the green guys are called Centurions, then Hasbro obviously can use the name since they did it with the Accessory pack Centurion. I'd probably get 10 of those green Centurions.

    Packaging for Jolt looks killa. That sweep repack though is Just boring. As it should be though which I believe some are forgetting.

    all they did was change Scourge's Hand? This is quite disappointing

    I was hoping for just a different expression on the Sweeps' face. Like the difference between the stock Siege Seeker face and Thundercracker/Red Wing having that cocky smirk face.

    I know that the point of the Sweeps are that they're identical to Scourge, but I don't want to buy a fully identical toy. An altered facial expression or maybe just tiny little differences in facial hair or unique accessories or whatever would've made a world of difference. The hand alteration is so subtle as to be almost imperceptible.

    makes it easier to pass on them unless they go on sale, I suppose.

    EDIT: switched things up because I used the word "difference" entirely too many times originally.

    The waiting game sucks. Let's play Hungry, Hungry Hippos.

    A Scourge 3rd release could come with his Target Master, along with all the other target masters with partners getting finished.

    I’m done with troop building. Thought I’d give it a try, but decided it wasn’t for me. So I’ll pass on the Sweep.

    I bought 2 extra Scourges as Sweeps and I was worried I would regret it. I'm not regretting it

    I was curious if they were going to include any extra accessory that was not released with the original Scourge, like Metroplex's eye or Transformation cog, or that black diamond thing he carried in his stomach.

    Those were things that took place after the movie though, so it doesn't surprise me they didn't include them. Especially with how big this Voyager is, no budget was left for extras.

    That's fine, I'm sure someone else will be happy to buy them.

    If the Sweep had been substantially different from Scourge, people who bought multiple Scourges would be complaining. It's a no-win scenario.

    Do we know who the other Voyager packed with Sweep will be? Or how many figures per box this time?

    You know it's times like this I'm glad I never got into troop building a single figure.

    Maybe he has a new blast effect?
