RID Scourge

Scourge! He ain't the first toy to rock the black and teal color scheme that would become the evil Optimus Prime color scheme (that honor belongs to Black Lio Convoy) but he's definitely the one to have popularized it.

He's a redeco of the 1995 Laser Optimus Prime toy from Transformers Generation 2, although the electronics from the original toy were removed for Scourge. On the other hand, super shiny chromed trailer.

Just like Starscream & BB, Scourge here also demonstrates the totally fun gimmicks Hasbro was doing back in Generation 2. While Scourge himself - outside of his deco - is pretty ordinary, the amount of crap his trailer can do is just next level and is probably one of, if not the best trailer battle stations ever.

You got a disc launcher (also accessible when the trailer isn't in battle station configuration), a missile launcher that fires five missiles, and an air pump rocket launcher that actually fires pretty damn far when you slam the bellows.

It puts pretty much every other example of a base/battle station formed out of a trailer to shame, to say nothing of the utterly pathetic showing that is the Legacy Laser Optimus Prime's battle station. Pathetic.

Also check out Scourge's amazing light piping. That ain't painted eyes nor is it me shining lights directly on his head to catch it, that's just what you get naturally from having the lights on in my den. Amazing.
