Scourge is the next addition to the classics 1986 Transformers. There's never been as much controversy over Scourge's identity as with Cyclonus, and in general, in spite of having the character quirk of commanding an army of clones he often lives in the shadow of the other characters.Finally with this new interpretation he's finally getting some attention.
Scourge's alt-made is simply fantastic. The colourscheme suits the character whilst the flying wing shape is a good replacement for the flying boat of the original. There is virtually nothing hanging off, everything is made up of smooth curves. Three bits of landing gear can be lowered and as a nod to the G1 design the head can pop up from the back of the plane.
The transformation is innovative and features some nice touches such as leaving the middle engine visible on his back and the interesting way his arms form. The end result is instantly recognisable as Scourge, with the head, chest and gun taken straight from the G1 design. The wings on his back form his trademark cape, whilst the front of the aircraft forms his feet.
This really is a good figure, showcasing why these lines are so popular with fans. If it weren't for the fact that I'd have to pay import prices for them I'd already have three of these guys, as it is the figure is good enough that I'm considering it anyway.
