I'm really surprised that those two never threw down at least once. MF killed Apelinque and corrupted Airazor then proceeded to let Prime handle him alone
I remember before the movie released, there was a theory going around that Scourge was actually Bayverse Prime having been corrupted by Unicron. While the idea is cool, it’s probably for the best it didn’t happen. The Bayverse may have had its flaws, it still had its fans and I can’t imagine they’d be too pleased to see the hero of the past five movies go fully bad whether it be through mind control or not.
in my eyes as a big Bayverse fan, I wanted him to be Optimus so we could finally have an answer to what happened after tlk, that's why I originally wanted the theory to be true. But now I'm glad that's not the case bc I hear Bay might be coming back. another thing, I still feel it was a missed opportunity for him not to be Optimus bc this would've made more and more people exited. but honestly I'm glad my favorite Optimus wasn't corrupted in a bad tf movie
When you really get down to it, that whole Nemesis Prime connection is probably the reason people kept throwing around the “Scourge-Is-Future-Optimus” theory everywhere before the film came out.
I like the overall weathered and 'damaged' design to scourge, teeth are misaligned, parts of his head is hollow, looks like a corpse that unicron brought back to serve him
Honestly Sideways was my favorite Minion for Unicron as he was closest to awakening his master with the Minicons, plus he swaped between autobot and decepticon sides to weaken and control both.
When Thundercracker Was On Cybertron Yeah But How The Unicron Got Thundercracker In The First Place Before He Became Scourge From Transformers ROTB 🤔🤔🤔
There’s also a more visual reference to RID Scourge in the original design and toy, where the nose of the truck splits apart and becomes his shoulder pads
I actually really dig Scourge’s truck design as a sort of Nemesis Prime/ Dark Optimus. I had fun with ROTB personally. And i actually got the marquee poster from the theater that was showing it 🥹
Remember the theory that people thought Scourge was the bayverse Optimus reformatted by unicron and traveled to Knightverse to serve unicron and kill his Optimus variant 😅
Kingdom Nemesis isn't the only herald version. We had one in the Universe 2003 line who was built by Unicron using the body of a dead Optimus from a universe he consumed, and for a couple of other Nemesis Primes, Unicron played a smaller part in his creation.
I thought dinobot was gonna be in the rise of the beasts when I first saw the trailer. I was a little disappointed when I realized he was scourge but he’s still a cool character
Scourge in rotb is like ultron in age of ultron. Malevolent, intelligent, and more powerful than his counterpart. But once the hero gets the upperhand, he loses his power and triumphantly gets defeated.
One day, one day we'll get a live action movie as good as the 1986 movie. Unfortunately Rise of the Beasts was so far from the mark that I wanted to cry at seeing it, and not for any good reason.
Add IDW Tarn to the list. Soft-spoken killer with assimmetrical design and his faction´s badge as mask. SO basically, 4 awesome villains done horribly wrong. ANd I thought the Ghost in the Shell live action did terrible mixing 3 into 1....
Someone please tell me if his feet make up the cabin of the truck mode because if so then we can also say he definitely takes notes from motor master too
After seeing Rotb I thought scourge would be a perfect way to reintroduce nemesis prime in a future installment. Since unicron can reformat transformers, why not turn scourge into the bot that beat him?
And like tarn, he wears a mask based on the teams insignia
I was thinking same think
He's like 6 in 1 then, crazy! But I love this version.
I was about to say he also has a head design similarity with Tarn
Exactly
Which faction is scourge I don't remember
Scourge taking the logos of the victims he kills and putting them on is shoulder is one of the most brutal thing ive ever seen a transformer do
He is not the only one who do this thing lockdown was using parts from his victims to upgrade himself 💀

@@furosutokira we are talking about movie lockdown
The badge stealing thing also could be seen as a more sinister interpretation of prime saying "till all are one"
I love his MF DOOM mask
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT
The Tarn mask
DOOM MASK
Lol
Who is mf doom?
Best line of scourge is when he said "wait wait didn't i kill you already?"
I'm really surprised that those two never threw down at least once. MF killed Apelinque and corrupted Airazor then proceeded to let Prime handle him alone
I can't get over that scourge almost looks like a tired grandpa at times
being brain assaulted by literal satan at the slightest sign of thinking for yourself isn’t to good for the skin

That would be awesome
One sided
Depends on which one, idk about bayverse one but animated definitely wins this
@@entityglitch8429 Bayverse overkills
Lockdown destroys without any difficulty
Also he wears his logo as a mask like Tarn and has a ramshackle truck mode like DOTM Megatron
RIP Waspinator, killed offscreen by Scourge.
Don't worry, he'll get better
@@nobodyhere8257 Yeah, he needs to come back next episode so he can die again! Such is the fact of WAZZZZZZZZPinator
Scourge is the first antagonist that’s completely unrelated to Megatron or at least a movie to have an antagonist that’s unrelated
Lockdown wasn't related to Megatron, but Galvatron was, so I guess that makes my point a little irrelevant.
Peter Dinklage killed it as Scourge
He probably took prowls forehead piece and welded it onto himself.
When you really get down to it, that whole Nemesis Prime connection is probably the reason people kept throwing around the “Scourge-Is-Future-Optimus” theory everywhere before the film came out.
Fun fact scourge and tarn both use their insignia as their faces tarn being decepticons and scourge being teracons
I like the overall weathered and 'damaged' design to scourge, teeth are misaligned, parts of his head is hollow, looks like a corpse that unicron brought back to serve him
Reminds me of Nemesis prime from Transformers Prime
Honestly Sideways was my favorite Minion for Unicron as he was closest to awakening his master with the Minicons, plus he swaped between autobot and decepticon sides to weaken and control both.
He’s Scourge/Nemisis Prime/sideways rolled into one.
Tarn
What does sideways have to do with this
@@dvey-zo8lhSideways from the Unicorn trilogy was a herald of Unicron.
@Burning-Twilight well so was g1 cyclonus
@@dvey-zo8lh I'm aware.
Sheeeeeit. Sounds like he might be Scourge.
Yet again Animated is a GOATED show if they taking inspiration to make this version of scourge. I will say him taking insignias is a genius idea
I'd say Animated and Prime are the two best Transformers series we've ever had.
Felt like Scourge was a fallen prime, a former prime.
he was not a fallen prime, not in any incarnation
When Thundercracker Was On Cybertron Yeah But How The Unicron Got Thundercracker In The First Place Before He Became Scourge From Transformers ROTB 🤔🤔🤔
Scourge was such an amazing TF movie villain,i cant wait until the next installment in this reboot framchise.
LookDown just looked badass definitely one of my favorites 🔥
Dude transformers has some of the coolest lore
He reminds me of general greivous stealing lightsabers from his victims.
Lockdown : let me introduce you to duce my self 😈😊
There’s also a more visual reference to RID Scourge in the original design and toy, where the nose of the truck splits apart and becomes his shoulder pads
Not only that, Scourge is a Unicronified Thundercracker in G1
The mask made out the maximals insignia is cool never notice this.
I loved scourge, I hope he comes back
I actually really dig Scourge’s truck design as a sort of Nemesis Prime/ Dark Optimus. I had fun with ROTB personally. And i actually got the marquee poster from the theater that was showing it 🥹
His hands remind me of reptor... his face seems similar too... "REPTOR MAXIMIZE!"
He gave me big lock down energy
If only they didnt took a family friendly path and gone full TARN
Bro was moving stuff ash ngl 😂
He reminds me of Raptor in the Beast Machines cartoon!
Scourge (to me at least) will always represent the minions, they should have had cyclonus be the baddy with minions of his own
He reminds me of a bounty hunter tbh
"We have Tarn at home"
*Tarn at home*
But seriously, if the Bayverse crew are puting effort and thought into it again, I'll check it out again.
It's barely even Bayverse anymore; he's still peripherally involved, but it's a different continuity now.
Also in (I believe) Armada Nemesis Prime’s first name was actually Scourge before they decided to go with Nemesis.
I only recognize scourge the predacon🔥
I loved seeing the truck as a reference to Robots In Disguise
he looks kinda like the corrupted cliff jumper
And this is why scourge is the best villain ever
cap. Scourge is the worst TF villain ever and he is a terrible character
I love how his head is wide open from the right side
has nobody else realized he kind of looks like dinobot
probably wanted to save ol chomper face for later
I'm hoping for an MPM Scourge eventually...
Remember the theory that people thought Scourge was the bayverse Optimus reformatted by unicron and traveled to Knightverse to serve unicron and kill his Optimus variant 😅
Kingdom Nemesis isn't the only herald version. We had one in the Universe 2003 line who was built by Unicron using the body of a dead Optimus from a universe he consumed, and for a couple of other Nemesis Primes, Unicron played a smaller part in his creation.
Don't forget that Scourge also has an Terrorcon Insignia mask that is similar to Tarn's Decepticon Insignia mask.
Also, as a living corpse, he's also Thundercraker
after scourge was announced to be in rotb, people thought scourge was gonna be a combination of his g1 and rid 2001 versions
Animated blitzwing:
Am I a joke to you?
TRANSFORMERS CYBERTRON MENTIONED 🗣️🔥🔥 RAHH OUR WORLDS ARE IN DANGER
so we not gon talk about how scourge clearly has on a MF DOOM faceplate as his mask
Another one to add is he’s also like Tarn from the IDW comics of how he wears the teams symbol as a mask
He's actually five, because you have to include Tarn and Sideways as well
I was thinking tarn was gonna get mentioned
I thought dinobot was gonna be in the rise of the beasts when I first saw the trailer. I was a little disappointed when I realized he was scourge but he’s still a cool character
I also get a slight tarn Vibe with the mask
I had the exact same thoughts about the nemesis prime and robots in disguise scourge
scourge reminded me of galvatron from the g1 movie because they are both slaves to unicron
I seen all these references and i said hmm it’s not bad
RID Scourge is Nemesis Prime, it doesn't have the name in English but in japanese is known as Black Convoy, Nemesis Prime
Dope analysis...
Nemesis Prime was also in Armada way before the Kingdom series
His mask looks like Tarn's as a half-face mask
Also his vehicle mode and presence feel similar to Nemesis from Armada
I was thinking of Tarn
Also, he pretty much replaced Megatron, just for this one movie though
I hate that they killed him off. He was a really cool villian that couldve been reoccurring
also Beast wars Scourge has a 4 giant finger hand, but I'm quite sure is a coincidence
So he’s 5 transformers in 1 in ROTB, not three.
He's just a different nemesis prime, we know
His weapon is also a reference to sintral prime,s weapon
Scourge looks like mf doom
His mask gives me lord of the ring vibes.
Scourge in rotb is like ultron in age of ultron. Malevolent, intelligent, and more powerful than his counterpart. But once the hero gets the upperhand, he loses his power and triumphantly gets defeated.
Scourge is not intelligent he is very dumb
I wish we got Beast wars Megatron tho 😭
Scurge,lockdown,prime megatron who winning
tbh the real and only fight is between Lockdown and Megatron cuz Scourge is weak compared to them
They forgot my boy tarn
He also have a sort of Decepticon mask like Tarn
He reminds me of Galvatron
One day, one day we'll get a live action movie as good as the 1986 movie. Unfortunately Rise of the Beasts was so far from the mark that I wanted to cry at seeing it, and not for any good reason.
His mask also looks a lot like Tarn in a way
You missed one his face plate is a reference to tarn
you mean 6, cuz you also forgot tarn with the mask face
+ the back of his head is very similar to bayverse Optimus
Make that 4 transformers he resembles Tarn and he’s a fanatic like Tarn
Add IDW Tarn to the list. Soft-spoken killer with assimmetrical design and his faction´s badge as mask.
SO basically, 4 awesome villains done horribly wrong. ANd I thought the Ghost in the Shell live action did terrible mixing 3 into 1....
I thought you would say tarn due to his face plate mask thing.
I thought scourge was the descendent of Megatron I guess I was wrong
I would have preferred Nemesis Prime entirely ngl.
That is something I had no idea about so thats actually really dope. Also I apologize but what is the music in the background?
Someone please tell me if his feet make up the cabin of the truck mode because if so then we can also say he definitely takes notes from motor master too
Where can I get started on all the transformers lore? Is there something else I can do other than watch all the movies and stuff?
After seeing Rotb I thought scourge would be a perfect way to reintroduce nemesis prime in a future installment. Since unicron can reformat transformers, why not turn scourge into the bot that beat him?
Im PISSED OFF they did not show his dragon form
