I don't think Takara has plans on releasing most of the secondary heads on these figures. Blurr and Scrapheap are most likely it, it seems.

So Meister79, is any other part of him clear blue or are his eyes that color for no reason? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif)

Hasbro, I am disappoint. Maybe it's good though, because I have little doubt Takara's will be red, and it will further differentiate the versions if one chooses to use the Hasbro version as Sweeps. Meister, can the head be disassembled to change out the light piping piece if someone like Darkov at the 2005 boards eventually makes a replacement piece in red?

For some reason, I'd like to see yellow-orange eyes.
Other than that, I don't have a problem with the eyes. I'm not one that has to have Decepticons with red eyes; a little variation here or there is fine with me. This post has been edited by NightViper: Jan 13 2011, 02:08 PM -------------------- |

Thanks! Gives me hope for the proper color on the United one, and like Jeremy said it differentiates the two versions if people want to use it as a Sweep.

Yeah, but if anyone should have devil eyes, it's Scourge. Plus it would tie in really nicely to the other red on him.

I'm not one that has to have Decepticons with red eyes; a little variation here or there is fine with me. I like it two, but I think blue is the last color I want for him. Yellow or red would work (I really liked the setup for the BotCon 2009 Scourge & Sweeps). It's like IDW's first close up shot of Thundercracker had him with blue eyes (the inside flap of the comic) which worked. Though usually I prefer Decepticons with yellow, orange, red, or purple eyes. Unless it's Straxus than black is preferred. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif) Randy -------------------- |

Looks good, but I'm going to wait for Ratbat. I don't have Galvatron or Cyclonus, so Scourge would just tempt me to get them.

The new version is a better representation of the character, but I think I still like the BotCon Scourge based on the figure's own merits. I'll still buy the new one, of course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif)

The colors on it are very striking and the headsculpt is great. |

Seems they bumped Scourge's stats up a bit! His Strength is now a 10 among other things (if I'm reading it right). Don't want to mess with him Cyclonus. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-fire.gif)

I quite like the "official" angle of the wings. It evokes the G1 wings reasonably well, I think.
Putting him next to Titanium Scourge really does show how faithful he is to the show model, even with the different alt-mode. |

I think in my ficverse I'll have United Scourge as Scourge, Generations Scourge as the Sweeps, BotCon Sweeps as an Augmented Sweeps, and BotCon Scourge as Augmented Sweeps Captain. --SoS |

 The original darkstream since 2003! Group: Supporter Posts: 19,597 Joined: 18-October 03 From: Aka K.I.R.A. Member No.: 3,718 Faction: Minicon |
next time you do a photoshooot, can you please use a different background if the figure is white? He blended in so well that he looks like he has chicken legs. A black background would have made him pop more.
Thank you --------------------  |
