I received one of these for Christmas. And a couple of years ago, I ended up with 5 Titans Return Scourges. So even though I missed the SS Scourge, I just use the SS Sweep as Scourge and the Titans Scourges as the sweeps on my shelf.
Same here man, I missed out on SS Scourge, so I bought this Sweep figure instead which I am calling my Scourge (plus the blue seems better than the original release which is nice). I only bought one Titans Return Scourge figure at the time so he's my only Sweep soldier lol. I am glad Hasbro is doing things to give fans a chance to buy popular figures that they missed out on (eg. like getting this Sweep figure as Scourge and releasing Cliffjumper in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line). I'm just hoping they re-release that Netflix Soundwave somehow, cause I missed out on him bad 😥. Also those Coneheads, cause so many fans missed out on them due to poor distribution. Even EmGo hasn't even reviewed Thrust yet (which I suspect is because he himself wasn't even able to buy one).
I mean it makes reasonable sense to save money, as an alternative since I wasn't able to get the studio series version, I have three of the Titan returns scourge and I'm planning to basically do the same thing by just buying this guy and calling it a day
Same I have mania king galvatron and 2 of the generations scourge and I got this guy for my birthday so I'm using him as scourge and the generations scourge as sweeps
I like the look of the Sweeps vehicle mode, as I feel it's a Cybertronian mode. I want to see what they and Cyclonus would take for Earth vehicle modes :)
I love how Sweep isn't just a redeco of Scourge and they went a little further and remolded him a bit too. I also love the fact that he's a redeco, that they changed it up at all when they were under no obligation to do so given that Scourge has never looked any different in any way from any Sweep in any of the media they've appeared in.
Personally I'm not disappointed cause I missed out on the original Scourge, so I am using the Sweep as my Scourge instead, and I rather have Scourge with a neutral face lol.
I picked up the sweep thinking it was scourge. It would help if i read the box. My son was still happy. I just not wanting to pay eBay prices for scourge lol
I'm tempted to get this and use it as Scourge mainly because I like the colors better. Did you get a new camera or is my monitor just being extra crisp today? The video in this looks minty fresh. Also it occurs to me how many of the 86 movie characters are army builders: Sharkticons, Sweeps, Junkions...a contrast from how individual most S1-2 characters were.
Hey, I'm not mad cause I missed out on the original Scourge, so I'm using the Sweep as my Scourge instead. Plus I like the blue on this one better anyway. Maybe its Hasbro's way of giving fans another chance of buying a good figure they missed out on. I'm just hoping they do the same with Netflix Soundwave and the Coneheads somehow. I missed out on them bad 😥
I couldn't resist the urge to army-build, seeing as how I have nine Seekers and six Refraktors. Actually had these up on pre-order elsewhere when I saw that BBTS had them in, so I dropped that other pre-order and put in for them, and put them in my Pile of Loot for about a minute so I could ship the other stuff I had waiting there all at the same time. Should have them by Friday if all goes well. By the way, speaking of having too many of the same mold, I'm still surprised they didn't do a Sunstorm at all in the WFCT line. Also also, I just remembered that one BotCon set, and realized they did basically the same thing by having the Sweep be a lighter shade of blue than Scourge.
I find it odd that they bothered to paint the back of the smaller wings on this version. It’s quite a bit of paint and you only see it if you look at the back of bot mode or the bottom of alt mode. Scourge does not have that paint so it’s another difference between the two.
I ended buying him in a case with another Sweep and Wreck-gar now all I need is either another sweep or Cyclonus’ Armada to complete my heralds of Unicron.
I really want to army build... but I also don't want to spend $200+, because even though there's only 4 in the movie there's 6 by Season 3. The Duality of Wallet.
I got him myself and have him as my Scourge since the official named Scourge never made it where I lived I also feel it makes more sense for Scourge being Blue as he is a reformatted Thundercracker
I got one recently at a flee market and didnt check the name i guess cause i was confused why online scourge and my copy hands were diffrent sides turns out hes a sweep
Just came home from the new Spider man with my family and all I will say is You will cry! Anyway, on the Sweep? I have two of them and am planning to get Scourge at some point. I'm actually surprised you reviewed this one since you didn't review the second dread they put out, I think it was Crowbar, the Shadow Raiders, or any of the other KSI figures they put out even though they were in the movie?
I honestly would have preferred a different mustache sculpt like the Tranformers Legends toyline (Although not being show-accurate). Would've gave Sweep a hint of different personality.
I grabbed one of these the other week thinking it was a Scourge. I already have a Scourge but it came with 2 of the same half cylinder backpack shell pieces so when its in ship mode it wont peg in completely on one side and I was hoping I had finally found another.
If the kingdom Cyclonus was remolded to have articulated hands, have a darker shade of purple, and released in the 86 line, would you consider picking it up? I would. Not to take anything away from the kingdom Cyclonus, I love that figure.
Of course.The Kingdom Cyclonus is a great figure in terms of quality and aesthetics but articulated hands make every figure better.His color is off as well just as you mentioned.I think the Quietus KO figure looks identical to how he did in the 86 movie.
@@aaronallard7716 i wouldnt say dead on. Quietus is a way darker shade of purple to the g1 show colour. Cyclonus has always been a much lighter shade of purple then Galvatron. In some episodes he is almost light blue in colour. There is also the odd episode where he is darker purple but not as dark as Quietus is. Also Quietus head sculpt is to slender.
Hey emgo are the hands the same color on both versions cause i was thinking that if they where you can change them and give Scourge two open hands instead of just one am just asking in case i decided to get him i like to change parts with figures that have the same mold
If i have Scourge and his minion, the Sweep, i can build the great Decepticon army 😈, it will be awesome 😄. It is depend on us weather we want that action figure or not 😐, nothing to force 😔. Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday from Malaysia 🇲🇾, EmGo's 😊!
Am I the only one who thinks the Sweeps lighter colour is actually more cartoon accurate for Scourge than the darker paint he got. I rewatched the movie and the season three cartoon and Scourge is definitely lighter with an obvious contrast to his darker chest panel.
Dont worry. There was no difference but the name in the 86 movie. You can buy any and say its scourge or sweep, its so silly and hasbro is just making money out of this. They all have the same color in the movie and have no difference. By the way, the toy sweep is more accurate to him than scourge because underneath has the light blue color when closing the wings, just like in the movie. For Emgo: made me laugh with the sarcasm saying and effect: ITS LIKE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT FIGURE....jajajaja.... Wasn't expecting that.
I mean honestly does it even really matter if we call this guy sweep like let's say we can't actually get a proper version of scourge all we have to do is just buy this guy as an alternative so if anything this is more like a back up plan collectible
BOOO HASBRO BOOOOO! This is Decepticon Sweep, the base of displayage should have featured the scene from one of the Insecticon reformats. Because this is just Scourge's base with the wrong character. Fake nitpicking Joke aside, excellent figure and excellent repaint.
Every time he shows up in the intro, I positively marvel at how intact Mascot's ball joints still seem to be. I don't think any of my Stronius' red parts exist anymore. EDIT: Called him Minion.
@@emgo316 Was typing distracted and accidentally put in another minor Bionicle character's name... Sorry. 🤦♂️ Still, props. IIRC, even the red Technic pins in the torso broke on mine after only a couple years of careful play, so it's especially impressive to see yours so intact after a decade of handling.
I accidently disliked it. Didn't mean to. I got a message saying "message sent to creator" & my heart sunk. It shouldn't mean anything but it does. Dang it UA-cam.
i only got sweep because everyone kept buying out all the scourges for army building. i bet everybody is feeling really stupid in hindsight, as they should!!!
I do not know why, but both Scourge and the Sweeps are almost shellformers to me. Tell me how I am completely wrong and the punishment for thinking like that. I definitely do not know what I am talking about and needs to be punished for thinking like that, Ultra Severly.
I received one of these for Christmas. And a couple of years ago, I ended up with 5 Titans Return Scourges. So even though I missed the SS Scourge, I just use the SS Sweep as Scourge and the Titans Scourges as the sweeps on my shelf.

good plan
I mean it makes reasonable sense to save money, as an alternative since I wasn't able to get the studio series version, I have three of the Titan returns scourge and I'm planning to basically do the same thing by just buying this guy and calling it a day
I've got mine with Galvatron and Titans Return Scourge waiting for Cyclonus to come to my house soon
Same I have mania king galvatron and 2 of the generations scourge and I got this guy for my birthday so I'm using him as scourge and the generations scourge as sweeps
This figure looks so good in hand and on display. When you hold it, it feels like you're holding one tough robot.
It's good for those who missed Scourge
Yeah I'm not buying Scourge he the inferior figure and he's more expensive.Hes not even G1 toon accurate
How so?
Got this for christmas along with a few other 86 studio series figures. The sweep is such a good figure.
I like the look of the Sweeps vehicle mode, as I feel it's a Cybertronian mode. I want to see what they and Cyclonus would take for Earth vehicle modes :)
I found my 2nd Sweep Christmas eve, i think owning 1 Scourge and 2 Sweeps is enough. It's nice as a small army builder
There were 3 at a Walmart but I only bought 2. Sorta regretting it now. Cyclonus, Scourge, 3 sweeps...that's quite a display!
I love how Sweep isn't just a redeco of Scourge and they went a little further and remolded him a bit too. I also love the fact that he's a redeco, that they changed it up at all when they were under no obligation to do so given that Scourge has never looked any different in any way from any Sweep in any of the media they've appeared in.
EmGo just got himself a shiny scourge that's no sweep that's a shiny scourge
I wish new sweep toys had different heads or some other way to make them different aside from being basically Scourge but not
Personally I'm not disappointed cause I missed out on the original Scourge, so I am using the Sweep as my Scourge instead, and I rather have Scourge with a neutral face lol.
There is a slight repaint of this coming up called MOP.
I picked up the sweep thinking it was scourge. It would help if i read the box. My son was still happy. I just not wanting to pay eBay prices for scourge lol
Wow 3 years later and I'm just now realizing I mustve never taken the effect piece out of the package and threw it away
I'm tempted to get this and use it as Scourge mainly because I like the colors better.
Did you get a new camera or is my monitor just being extra crisp today? The video in this looks minty fresh.
Also it occurs to me how many of the 86 movie characters are army builders: Sharkticons, Sweeps, Junkions...a contrast from how individual most S1-2 characters were.
That's what I did.He looks far superior to Studio Series 86 Scourge in terms of G1 cartoon accuracy.
Yes, he got a new 4k camera.
On my computer he sounds muffled if he was talking through a mask.
I just picked this guy up at Walmart a few hours ago 😂
I just got my sweep from my local Walmart last night
You both are terrible story tellers
Emgo! Did you get a new camera and/or microphone?
hasbro has us so enslaved that they can release the exact same figure in a slightly different shade of blue and it’ll still sell
Hey, I'm not mad cause I missed out on the original Scourge, so I'm using the Sweep as my Scourge instead. Plus I like the blue on this one better anyway. Maybe its Hasbro's way of giving fans another chance of buying a good figure they missed out on. I'm just hoping they do the same with Netflix Soundwave and the Coneheads somehow. I missed out on them bad 😥
Watching this and the Scourge one back to back was hilarious.
I couldn't resist the urge to army-build, seeing as how I have nine Seekers and six Refraktors. Actually had these up on pre-order elsewhere when I saw that BBTS had them in, so I dropped that other pre-order and put in for them, and put them in my Pile of Loot for about a minute so I could ship the other stuff I had waiting there all at the same time.

Also also, I just remembered that one BotCon set, and realized they did basically the same thing by having the Sweep be a lighter shade of blue than Scourge.
Picked him up a couple weeks ago and he’s my scourge for the time being…then I proceeded to buy a cyclonus and galvatron.
I find it odd that they bothered to paint the back of the smaller wings on this version. It’s quite a bit of paint and you only see it if you look at the back of bot mode or the bottom of alt mode. Scourge does not have that paint so it’s another difference between the two.
the only problem with starting in robot mode is no spinning before transformation , maybe see if they can breakdance before transformation
BGM is very lovely... haha
I need an EmGo shirt that says "Why not?.... Dare I say why not?!".
I ended buying him in a case with another Sweep and Wreck-gar now all I need is either another sweep or Cyclonus’ Armada to complete my heralds of Unicron.
What’s bad is I actually missed the 86-05 scourge and I want buy this one until I get him even though it’s the same thing I just want the original one
I really want to army build... but I also don't want to spend $200+, because even though there's only 4 in the movie there's 6 by Season 3. The Duality of Wallet.
The bloosh looks like something else that I won't mention...😄
I got him myself and have him as my Scourge since the official named Scourge never made it where I lived I also feel it makes more sense for Scourge being Blue as he is a reformatted Thundercracker
I got one recently at a flee market and didnt check the name i guess cause i was confused why online scourge and my copy hands were diffrent sides turns out hes a sweep
I was never able to find Scourge, but I got one of these guys, so this is my Scourge now
Just came home from the new Spider man with my family and all I will say is You will cry!
Anyway, on the Sweep? I have two of them and am planning to get Scourge at some point.
I'm actually surprised you reviewed this one since you didn't review the second dread they put out, I think it was Crowbar, the Shadow Raiders, or any of the other KSI figures they put out even though they were in the movie?
I never found a Scourge, but I found this guy. He is my Scourge.
I honestly would have preferred a different mustache sculpt like the Tranformers Legends toyline (Although not being show-accurate).
Would've gave Sweep a hint of different personality.
This guy looks sweep!

emgo the transformers studio series core shockwave is now in big bad toy store for $12.99 in a pre-order you should get
I have all that stuff preordered :)
I already have 4 Scourges and I like the purple, is it worth it to troop build this guy 🤷♀️ . Aren’t they all purple (gal and cyclonus ) ?
Well that video review was a clean sweep! 😆
Chesticles. Awesome as always. No brush?
Hey emgo have you gotten war for Cybertron Trilogy tyrannosaur
Sweet Sweep!
What is he going going sweep?
Hey emgo, are you going to be reviewing any of the premium finished transformers?
nope, don't have any interest in them. sorry.
If the kingdom Cyclonus was remolded to have articulated hands, have a darker shade of purple, and released in the 86 line, would you consider picking it up? I would. Not to take anything away from the kingdom Cyclonus, I love that figure.

I would like a repaint of Cyclonus in his G1 toy colours, the darker purple looks a lot better than the colours that were used in the cartoon!
@@superomegaprimemk2 you should get the 3P figure Quietus then.His colors are dead on to the G1 cartoon.
@@aaronallard7716 i wouldnt say dead on. Quietus is a way darker shade of purple to the g1 show colour. Cyclonus has always been a much lighter shade of purple then Galvatron.

@@markpayne7821 well considering WFC Galvatrons color is the wrong shade of purple...
Now this is a shellformer
Meh. I'm not all that in need of an army builder. Maybe to cannibalize the hands, but that'd be it.
Hey emgo316
Which Studio Series from BB Movie would you recommend me?
(The new ones)
Hey emgo are the hands the same color on both versions cause i was thinking that if they where you can change them and give Scourge two open hands instead of just one am just asking in case i decided to get him i like to change parts with figures that have the same mold
*Scourge 2: Electric Boogaloo*
For some reason mines ankle clicks back into place it kinda springs back ehen i tilt it
And people say I'm crazy 😂😂😂!
Papa Scourge! LOL!
I got 3 sweeps 1 scourge they are very nice
Nice
If i have Scourge and his minion, the Sweep, i can build the great Decepticon army 😈, it will be awesome 😄. It is depend on us weather we want that action figure or not 😐, nothing to force 😔. Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday from Malaysia 🇲🇾, EmGo's 😊!
Did you go for 24fps for this video? If you did, I like it.
See this is why I love ss transformers because they are so fun to play with and so easy to transform
Am I the only one who thinks the Sweeps lighter colour is actually more cartoon accurate for Scourge than the darker paint he got. I rewatched the movie and the season three cartoon and Scourge is definitely lighter with an obvious contrast to his darker chest panel.
I believe that in the entire time I have followed your videos after so many years the joke in 4:49 is my overall favorite 🤣🤣🤣
Hey EmGo, if you had to pick one over the other which would you go for? 86 Scourge or 86 Sweep?
I would expect the sweeps to be lower priced and simpler than Scourge.
You can switch one hand each so that they'll be symmetrical. Lol
happy new year from me and greetings from you 🎇🎇🎇🎇👍
Scourge and Sweep can hold hands :D:D:D
Dont worry. There was no difference but the name in the 86 movie. You can buy any and say its scourge or sweep, its so silly and hasbro is just making money out of this.

Emgo is the best TF reviewer of all time!!!!
I actually like this figure. Good review.
It’s like looking in a mirror
We obviously know that scourge why Hasbro
What has been up with your microphone during the last few videos? Sounds muffled, like you are talking into a box (Maybe time for an upgrade)
If you take note during recent vids and livestream, emgo upgraded his camera but couldn't figure out the audio problem
this is the upgrade LOL! I got all new equipment. just working out the bugs.
@@emgo316 😳 Ouch! 😂 Oh well: Happy tinkering!
Always seemed like a flying coffin to me :)
Even if it just a repaint, I'll buy it.
Amazing figure
i feel incomplete buying only one Sweep
Same.
I mean honestly does it even really matter if we call this guy sweep like let's say we can't actually get a proper version of scourge all we have to do is just buy this guy as an alternative so if anything this is more like a back up plan collectible
It's your toy, call it whatever you want. I call mine Kevin. 😁
@@enix627 nice
Yo Emgo swap the hands on them both of the open hands on one and closed hands on the other that would really confuse mr Mascot Lol.
To me his alt form all ways looked like a boat.
Scourage but NOT scourage. Quote from hasbro themselfs
BOOO HASBRO BOOOOO! This is Decepticon Sweep, the base of displayage should have featured the scene from one of the Insecticon reformats. Because this is just Scourge's base with the wrong character.
