I like the character, but I hate the mold, so no. That is one ugly looking toy, imo. It's bearable in the Battle Tanker armor. But on it's own, I think it is an eyesore.

 

Yes! I don't really care what they call it, I just want one!

 

We all know what is going to happen. At Botcon Hasbro will show the repaint with a label showing Scourge as being released in either Generations or a R.I.D. package for release in December/January (by this point you probably know where this is going). Some will start to show up in Canada but on December 21st Hasbro will cancel the line before they hit the USA (Europe and Australia of course were screwed from the start). The fandom erupts into rage. A few hours later the world ends.

Joking aside maybe Hasbro will put him regardless of name into the early part of Generations this year. The worst that will happen is it will be this years SDCC exclusive. Actually it wouldn't surprise me if that is how we get Scourge/Nemesis Prime. The last two Nemesis Prime figures were SDCC exclusives after all.

 

There is no choice for "Yes, but I don't care what he is named"

 

people, look how old this thread is.....

 

Irrelevant.

... it's always the year 2005!

 

Honestly, I have a hard time looking past page 3 or 4, so how people go through and bump pages from months and months ago is beyond me.

 

My guess would be that once in their life, these people use the search function, possibly even by way of a good search. Then after reading the OP & maybe one random post close to the bottom of page one, they freak the fuck out & start posting.

Then, someone else sees the thread, replies as if the last comment's recent date applies to the topic's majority, thus fueling the great revival.

 

I can't make it past page 2. Some topics I understand getting bumped (video game gamer tags/friend codes, some Toyark threads like G.I. Joe) but stuff like this always baffles me. Maybe it's the same people who post a popular question that has already been asked several times already and sometimes on the same damn page.

 

Not sure why the thread was bumped, but since it was, this just occurred to me...

...can a Generations/Classics RiD Scourge/Nemesis/Whatever occur this year from Hasbro, in light of Fun Pub using the mold for SG Magnus? I thought they can't use a certain mold if Hasbro was intending to use it.

Takara's a different story, and black redecos are right up their alley...but this just occurred to me with this thread popping back up.

 

Generations Thundercracker was released in March of last year and the Club released SG Thundercracker in June so depending on when production starts it is possible.

 

That's true...timing is hard to figure...using your example, wasn't SG Thundercracker pushed back a year because Hasbro was using the Seeker mold (albeit the Conehead version) for Thrust and then Dirge in '10? Generations Thundercracker's release muddies the water a bit since that hit not that long after Fun Pub used the exact same mold for their version.

Now I'm more confused lol.

 

Well to be honest, I've never really understood why people care how old threads are when they relate to ongoing or otherwise constant things. Like, I understand that its silly to bump news or rumour threads, but when it comes to a question like this one (or like you say, and ongoing show or toyline), time really isn't an issue, especially since it's perfectly evident when posts are made due to timestamps & chronological order.

I mean if nothing else, I still think this topic is hilarious because of the way Kickback worded the poll, and the fact that we don't have either of these repaints means that to me anyway, its just as relevant now as it was on day 1.
