@@optisprimusproductions it's weird we never had 3rd party for Transformers animated, more idw comic characters or ect because they be focus on g1. Look, I get why the people want g1 but I want some form of diversity like Dr wu making wheelie, scalpel and mowhawk
Bro Scourge's arm blade swinging into his hand is SO DANG COOL. Honestly Scourge in terms of his appearance is both super cool and badass and kinda weird, janky, and bizarre. He just confuses me quite a bit in both modes.
@@saadkhanimran8327 ain't no way he appears at Walmart before July, that's just how Walmart rolls. As long as there's not enough space to unload an entire box of leaders they will never restock
I got scourge a couple of days ago and managed to pose him in both the Chad meme pose and the Axel in Harlem pose, so the play value is above and beyond for me.
I really like Cheetor for how balanced he is, really. I have no issues when trying to make him stand on one arm. And the mix of fur and plain surfaces also works for me.
Scourge is easily my favorite design to come out of this film so far. He just looks downright terrifying. I can’t wait to get him. I just got Freezer, and I love his design too. Once I get Battletrap and Scourge, I don’t really think I’ll need many more of the ROTB toys.
I hate to be that guy but, really? Why does everyone like this figure so much. It looks nothing like him. His shoulders are the wrong shape, his neck too long and long skinny legs which looks ugly. This figure makes him look less scary and as a joke imo.
The design of the figure of scourge was the one used in test screenings and basically the final film before the film got delayed scourge design here was gong to be the final design.hasbro dint had no time to remake the figure to have his final design since the figure is basically finished they dont need to remake it again this happned with some past transformers figures using there ealry concept/designs also sorry for my bad english not my first launguage
They're not called "blast effects", they're... 🔥🔥🔥BLOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!🔥🔥🔥 ... And yes, Hasbro should make them more available than just in Commander Class figures! 👍
Imagine another SS leader class Scourge with a mold that is more accurate to the movie. One possible way would be a version of Scourge where he transforms/integrates into that ship he travels with at the start of the movie. The ship can even be a weaponizer, coming with all the arsenal and weapons we see Scourge use in the movie than just his big claw and regular bland sword pieces. Again his only transformation would be to become part of the ship he travels on, in turn sacrificing the truck mode.
I've watched your videos here and there, and decided to subscribe with this one! If I'm being honest, it is because you called out other reviewers getting figures super early (like literally right after they get announced or something). It is such a pet peeve of mine and I'm happy to see someone else who also avoids videos with stolen figures! Great content!
Awesome review! I agree with every point you made! Regarding Scourge's clear plastic backpack, I don't think it's an issue that only plagues factory-rejects. I bought my copy of Scourge from Smyth's Toys UK (because I live in Leeds, England) wayyyy back in June/July 2023 after I watched the film in cinemas and because of the way the hexagonal hinge is connected to the clear plastic backpack which you need to use for transformation, the orange clear plastic just broke. Scourge can still transform and while the clear plastic hasn't broken off completely (though it is pretty close to giving out), that is inevitable as the more you use the transformation joint, the further the cracks will spread. Honestly Scourge was designed poorly. Scourge's truck mode cab should have been made out of hard plastic with orange clear plastic inserts for the windows.
Bro, the timing of this review just saved my sanity. I was literally worrying and wondering earlier today if i het Scourge cause of that breakage. Now im not afraid anymore, and i will be getting him as soon as i can. Thanks man! 🥳
Good lord, I can't wait for my own Scourge Pre-order from Big Bad Toy Store. The wait is agonizing, but it's going to be worth it come early to mid April. Worst part is no specific delivery date, it just says "April 2023" and only that.
THANK YOU. the very IDEA of scourge being bayverse prime just because of a reused asset on the cgi model is sooo dumb! Now just to wait for these guys to be put on shelves here in the south
I kinda find it funny that he says that he doesn't look like Optimus Prime, yet in that same sentence, the top of the head does look like Bayverse Prime's. Like, if it's his opinion, I respect it, but the top of Scourge's dome behind his mask does have the same structure that Prime did in the first three films and the beginning of AOE.
Like, I get that a lot of people are probably being annoying about it(and they really should stop being annoying), but I do have to agree with them on this.
I'm only just getting back into collecting (collected a handful of DOTM when that movie came out and then before that only collected G1 figures) and I have to say scourge may be my first studio series in a WHILE
I wish Cheetor was more on the yellow than this nothing color tbh. I doubt Toyhax would make a sticker set to give him more spots but I still have hopes.. Sorta
you have a point about the factory rejects being sold as the “stolen goods” and ppl just complain abt the quality of the toy and how bad it is but they never acknowledge that it might just be rejects that Hasbro just doesn’t care about so just don’t buy stolen things😐
I wonder if the Terrorcon symbol on his grill represents Transit. We just had him announced and he didn't seem to be in the trailers. Might off him for failing to kill the bots or something.
I think Transit will get killed by Optimus and Scourge finds his body and takes his insginia. Then again, Transit has a Decepticon insignia on his forehead.
I really want them, but here in Mexico they're only available through Amazon and they want the equivalent of 52US dollars (70 Canadian) for Cheetor and *82* USD (110 CAD) for Scourge and that's way too much for them.
You keep talking about the furnace in your videos but I've honestly never heard it come across to your microphone so you should just stop worrying about it. We literally don't hear it and only know about it cuz you keep pointing it out
Yeah nah, the only figure we've had release early down here is legacy motormaster and that's because big W negotiated it as a timed exclusive. For the most part we get figures a lot later than the US. The stolen copies are all factory samples or rejects coming out of the factories in Vietnam, hence the missing packaging, occasional non final paint apps, and shoddy QC
0:48 You know, you *can* filter out any furnace noise in post by recording a long sample of the furnace hum and use that to cancel out the furnace in the recording.
Instant subscribe. I love my little Cheetor copy so much. The coolest thing I’ve found with him is you can combine the spear sword weapons together and have him grip a small nub to hold it upright with one hand. I have mine displayed like a royal guard standing at attention. He’s sick!
I’m to really watch you more than the others. You seem like your a pretty chill person. Definitely like that. I think your approach is very therapeutic. Thank you 🙏
I like Scourge but in hindsight Hasbro should’ve learned from their sins of early Studio Series bee movie figures. Just why, why base it on concept art if that’s not what they’re gonna look like in the final version. They had a lot of time to change Scourge too.
Also good luck trying to find this figure nowadays. $100 for a design based on concept art. I’m really hoping the mainline Scourge is accurate, if that happens that is
Love the video (Edit) Transformers fans try and either cancel everything or put everything together with theories or just complain about everything like 50 percent of the fandom is just that and its annoying I dont see scourges head as bay prime it has a slight resemblance but it's too different
You should try out the Transformers Prime beast hunters' predacons, they are surprisingly fun to handle and i think you'd like them! If I was to recommend one in particular, it would have to be Lazerback or vertebreak.
You did really well on the video, but one thing bothers me, THE WHEELS. Scourge's hind wheels that are closer to the feet actually can come out to line up with the other wheels. Also, there is a clip that goes into the claw when you are putting down the sides.
Dude, find the furnace on/off switch with the red plate and just flip it off before recording. Easy peasy and won’t hurt anything. Also thanks for the content since I’m writing anyway….still come back to your videos 3-4x as I kinda of obsess about scale and stuff so, yeah thanks!
He always complains about the furnace making noise in the background of his videos but yet I never hear it at all like it has absolutely no effect on the audio to me, I never get why he always complains about it, i can hear everything just fine 😅
Freezer looks better on his arm upside down using the blade as a support going between freezers legs, also in truck mode you can leave the cannon on freezers back tucked the way it is in robot mode facing forward with the truck making it a mobile artillery cannon.
I was honestly kinda iffy on Scourge’s design, but this review has completely sold me on him, he looks so epic in every angle. If only I wasn’t waiting until the movie comes out to buy him, heh
I love the newer figures for having less kibble and better engineering. I just wish they were bigger.
Deluxe and voyager has gotten a bit smaller this year but I'm guessing budget issues since plastic must be a tad more expensive
At least he scales with other ss toys
Just wish it wasn’t coming at a compromise of the vehicle modes
Don't worry. In just a few months after June, third party companies will make them
@@optisprimusproductions it's weird we never had 3rd party for Transformers animated, more idw comic characters or ect because they be focus on g1. Look, I get why the people want g1 but I want some form of diversity like Dr wu making wheelie, scalpel and mowhawk

Scourge is on that Victor Zsasz mindset.
Or Killmonger, lol
I hope they decide to go full all out with that and make Scourge a scary maniac
They look like burnt plastic. Stop the 🧢
Or Yaujta (Aka: the Predator)
@@twister107I can see the Yaujta
Thanks for easing my concerns about Scourge's backpack. His status as best figure in the wave is confirmed.
Edit: the backpack is still an issue.
He’s gonna be out in Walmart in April(early April)
@@saadkhanimran8327 ain't no way he appears at Walmart before July, that's just how Walmart rolls. As long as there's not enough space to unload an entire box of leaders they will never restock
I'm still disappointed it looks different from the trailer. This figure is clearly based on the concept art instead of the final design.
@@dsharp4763most of the new movie ones do. BBM Optimus was based on concept art too
@@Deinobi Yeah ik, which why I didn't buy them.
Can’t wait to see the rest of the figures, especially Optimus, Transit, Primal, and Stratosphere
Stratosphere is my most anticipated one
The messed up part is that his airplane mode will probably be the size of Scourge.. He should be titans class..
@@ThatToyGuy nirvana❤
Stratosphere is one hundred percent gonna be a titan
Imagine stratosphere being the first titan or commander for studio series
I got scourge a couple of days ago and managed to pose him in both the Chad meme pose and the Axel in Harlem pose, so the play value is above and beyond for me.
ROTB Cheetor would be sick in Ravage's color scheme
Oooooo yeah he totally would
i seen a custom where they made it look like Tigatron and i think it just works as Tigatron a lot more
@@alexandersilva3327 I've already seen it, and it looks really great indeed.
I really like Cheetor for how balanced he is, really. I have no issues when trying to make him stand on one arm. And the mix of fur and plain surfaces also works for me.
I like how scourge has light piping in his eyes
Really appreciate the comparisons you put in, not a lot of UA-camrs actually listen to their fans lol. Great job on this video by the way!

There should be more packs like the Tricranius one
Having watched this again I like how you have him casually holding a voyager like it's nothing..love that
I think the furnace is fitting for this review given that Scourge himself has a straight up furnace inside of him
good joke.
@@springy5082 I’m serious
Lmao nice one, that’s pretty funny
Scourge is really the only one I want. He just looks pretty cool
I suggest getting freezer too the combining feature is pretty neat
8:48 FINALLY some how talks my language, Scourge is not Bayverse Optimus Prime

and much less clear plastic.
Honestly think cheetor works better as Tigatron

Dear toy guy: my retail copy of scourge has a CRACK in his back clear plastic. So no, it's not an issue of being at the len.
Good lord, I can't wait for my own Scourge Pre-order from Big Bad Toy Store.
The wait is agonizing, but it's going to be worth it come early to mid April.
Worst part is no specific delivery date, it just says "April 2023" and only that.
Hasbro pulse is june
Amazon is releasing tomorrow
I like how you ask us to be careful with it like it’ll hurt you if we break it 😂
Scourge is Dreamwave's The Fallen with an Earth-mode.
Ok that intro was FIRE! but my only critique for the scourge figure is the legs need more bulk to em
I quite like that he's lanky, separates him from megs
@@moonwhooper fair nuff, but me personally the skinny legs don’t work with the torso. Also I prefer my robots with a bit of bulk to em
THANK YOU.
the very IDEA of scourge being bayverse prime just because of a reused asset on the cgi model is sooo dumb!
Now just to wait for these guys to be put on shelves here in the south
Can't forget the the special guests of these videos: The Furnace
6:02 stuff like this is why I wait until things are officially released to see if I can buy them
I kinda find it funny that he says that he doesn't look like Optimus Prime, yet in that same sentence, the top of the head does look like Bayverse Prime's.

I wish Cheetor was more on the yellow than this nothing color tbh. I doubt Toyhax would make a sticker set to give him more spots but I still have hopes.. Sorta
This gotta be your best Intro
you have a point about the factory rejects being sold as the “stolen goods” and ppl just complain abt the quality of the toy and how bad it is but they never acknowledge that it might just be rejects that Hasbro just doesn’t care about so just don’t buy stolen things😐
man back kibble has been killer lately. ill take a slightly odd looking flat back over an insane backpack tbh
Studio Series Rise of the Beast Scourge looks awesome as hell.
-And Cheetor is cool too.
18:40 There is also four Wrecker symbols, which implies the existence of the Wreckers meaning we could get Ultra Magnus.
I wonder if the Terrorcon symbol on his grill represents Transit. We just had him announced and he didn't seem to be in the trailers. Might off him for failing to kill the bots or something.
I think Transit will get killed by Optimus and Scourge finds his body and takes his insginia. Then again, Transit has a Decepticon insignia on his forehead.
Well that didn’t happen😢
Yes! Change the instructions Hasbro.
It took me almost 4hrs to work out the MPM Blackouts many moves using the microscopic pictures.
Battletrap looks like he hates EVERYTHING and EVERYONE, even the one handling him
I really want them, but here in Mexico they're only available through Amazon and they want the equivalent of 52US dollars (70 Canadian) for Cheetor and *82* USD (110 CAD) for Scourge and that's way too much for them.
*Optimus in the background*
"Nope, not gonna address that"
You keep talking about the furnace in your videos but I've honestly never heard it come across to your microphone so you should just stop worrying about it. We literally don't hear it and only know about it cuz you keep pointing it out
Ya
Most of those “stolen copies” are from Australia where they released it wayy earlier than america
Yeah nah, the only figure we've had release early down here is legacy motormaster and that's because big W negotiated it as a timed exclusive. For the most part we get figures a lot later than the US.

@@marcelinenolan6284 Nahh I’ve seen Scourge towards the end of February in Adelaide, it might be just a thing here but idk
Glad to see he's not a bad toy, was looking forward to getting him!
I like how you give little tips here and there, reminds me of peaughs old reviews

Man I'm so happy I'm getting battletrap for my birthday on June 27th and scourge and cheetor are just beautifully done.
0:48 i cant lmaoooo this is just funny af
I mean in the original RID scourge was a recolor of laser optomis prime so they kinda sorta do look the same
Hasbro really took their time on Scourge
Just got mine in from Hasbro and it cracked on the back hinge. One should still be careful That being said, it's a gorgeous figure.
It'll be interesting once I get my hands on a scourge AND a fallen. And I'll pose them probably fist bumping or fighting.
Great vid btw!
8:47 | I take it then that you have no interest in that Bay-Prime = Scourge theory?
You should try out the Transformers Prime beast hunters' predacons, they are surprisingly fun to handle and i think you'd like them! If I was to recommend one in particular, it would have to be Lazerback or vertebreak.
Razor claw is my favorite she is so easy to take amazing photos of in natural light!
just got the baiwei scourge, and it's freaking awesome. but honestly that original scourge head looks like the Egyptian god of death
Does your cheetor have any loose joints?
You did really well on the video, but one thing bothers me, THE WHEELS. Scourge's hind wheels that are closer to the feet actually can come out to line up with the other wheels. Also, there is a clip that goes into the claw when you are putting down the sides.

Is the door a solid core or hollow core? Solid core core doors help insulate sound
you can also push in the far rear wheels into the legs for bot mode and push them out in truck mode but it is a bit of a pain to do on my copy
the way you said Truck is the best thing I've heard all day
When are they going to be in stores
"He does have a waist rotation...............weeee"😂😂
He always complains about the furnace making noise in the background of his videos but yet I never hear it at all like it has absolutely no effect on the audio to me, I never get why he always complains about it, i can hear everything just fine 😅
It's funny that you bring up the background noise in your house yet I never notice it lol
Dude, I'm a gas tech in Ontario and at least in this province there's nothing wrong with insulating a mechanical room door that I can think of.
Ok I was a little scared of buying scourge but you changed my mind I’m gonna buy this work of art oh good video btw
1:17 Oh hi Thok!
Do you think we'll get a leader Optimus fig for rotb?
Now I'm waiting for DNA Design to give him an upgrade kit for his legs
That neck man! I will never get over why the designers of the to decided to give him such a long neck.
Nice Sauron review. When does Scourge come out? :)
I remember the spaghetti test figure of Scourge, thank God that's fixed in the release
The grill of the alt mode looks so cool
Freezer looks better on his arm upside down using the blade as a support going between freezers legs, also in truck mode you can leave the cannon on freezers back tucked the way it is in robot mode facing forward with the truck making it a mobile artillery cannon.
I also want them together with galvatron ss
Scourge is the only figure in this wave i 100% plan on getting, the rest are maybe or probably
Where did you get scourge
I like Scourge's truck mode but I'm just not a fan of his robot design. His head looks odd to me.
how much they cost in canada, cause in Slovakia the price is 33€for deluxe, 19€ for core, 48€ for voyager, 75€ for leader
8:49 But... but... he's a truck , so he must be optimus prime.... from some tormented alternate future, because that makes total sense.
Happy that Scourge works as good as it looks
Great instruction of Truck Mode. Well done.
I was honestly kinda iffy on Scourge’s design, but this review has completely sold me on him, he looks so epic in every angle. If only I wasn’t waiting until the movie comes out to buy him, heh
When is wave 2 of figures? Or collectibles
The furnace intro lol
When does he come out
I just ordered mine.
I had a bumblebee in my hands in the shop yesterday, but decided to get legacy road hauler instead. Hmm maybe next month
for an otherwise awesome design, scourge's neck thing ruins the whole thing
