- Scourge is a Destructicon Decepticon from the (fanon) Aligned continuity family. He's sometimes known as Black Convoy.
Despite his resemblance to the Autobot Leader Optimus Prime, Scourge is originally an abandoned Sweep, taking his name of his leader, and he rebuilt his own body. He is also the founder of the Decepticon group known as the "Destructicons". Rumors said that he had battled countless Autobots without being defeated, and claims their body parts as prizes/upgrades. He wields the almighty Fusion Rifle, a powerful weapon built by the Destructicon himself. However there are some obstacles in his way: Ultra Magnus and Evac is currently hunting him down.
- "I shall stand...the rest shall fall."
- —Scourge steals a motto from other bots.
Toys[]
Prime[]
- Destructicon Scourge (Voyager)
- Accessories: Cybertronian Battle Sword, Plasma Cannon
Destructicon Scourge is a redeco of the First Edition Optimus Prime features translucent red plastic at the windows (including his faux chest window), a cooler shade of gray plastics, and replaces the red & blue plastic to dark grey.
He comes with his "Cybertronian battle sword" and a "plasma cannon", which it can be pegged onto either the 5mm-compatible trailer hitch, or onto each peg-hole beside it.
However this form is a toy-only figure.
- Destructicon Scourge (Legends Class)
- Accessories: Fusion Rifle, Blaster
A minor redeco of the Thrilling 30 Legends Class Optimus Prime, Destructicon Scourge is about the size of a Cyberverse Commander Class toy. He transforms from a Black-colored generic cab-over convoy into a robot, and features 5mm-compatible hands and roof. He comes with a blaster which has both 5mm and 3mm posts.
Some of the teal has been replaced with Sliver, like the face (to ressemble Loyal Subject's and the AOE Voyager Nemesis Prime's paint job) and the knees.
He also features the Fusion Rifle, which is reused from Energon Cruellock's gun.
In the first restock of the products, Scourge also features a paint application variant: His teal paint is replaced into silver.
- Battle at Nemesis (3-pack)
- Accessories: Fusion Rifle, Blaster
Packaged with Commander Class Optimus Prime & Megatron, This Scourge is a retool of the Legends Class figure above, featuring a skeleton-sque face with a metal mustache. He also features the paint application from the second variant.
Trivia/Notes[]
- Scourge is based on the Decepticon Commando in the same name from the RID/Car Robots cartoon.
- Unlike most Transformers in Transformers Prime, his Transformation sound is reused from the live-action film series, which is used from Megatron from ROTF and Sentinel from DOTM.
- Scourge's skull-ish face is clearly a nod to Armada Nemesis Prime and Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus.
