I love the newer figures for having less kibble and better engineering. I just wish they were bigger.

Scourge is on that Victor Zsasz mindset.

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.

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.

Can’t wait to see the rest of the figures, especially Optimus, Transit, Primal, and Stratosphere

ROTB Cheetor would be sick in Ravage's color scheme

They're not called "blast effects", they're... 🔥🔥🔥BLOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!🔥🔥🔥 ... And yes, Hasbro should make them more available than just in Commander Class figures! 👍

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.

Really appreciate the comparisons you put in, not a lot of KZfaqrs actually listen to their fans lol. Great job on this video by the way!

Honestly think cheetor works better as Tigatron

Scourge is really the only one I want. He just looks pretty cool

I think the furnace is fitting for this review given that Scourge himself has a straight up furnace inside of him

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!

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.

Having watched this again I like how you have him casually holding a voyager like it's nothing..love that

Ok that intro was FIRE! but my only critique for the scourge figure is the legs need more bulk to em

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! 🥳

I like how you give little tips here and there, reminds me of peaughs old reviews

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 like how scourge has light piping in his eyes

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!

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’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 🙏

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.

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.

Can't forget the the special guests of these videos: The Furnace

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

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

Man I'm so happy I'm getting battletrap for my birthday on June 27th and scourge and cheetor are just beautifully done.

This gotta be your best Intro

I had the same problem with the cab hinges to 😂

8:48 FINALLY some how talks my language, Scourge is not Bayverse Optimus Prime

6:02 stuff like this is why I wait until things are officially released to see if I can buy them

Yes! Change the instructions Hasbro. It took me almost 4hrs to work out the MPM Blackouts many moves using the microscopic pictures.

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!

Great instruction of Truck Mode. Well done.

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.

man back kibble has been killer lately. ill take a slightly odd looking flat back over an insane backpack tbh

The grill of the alt mode looks so cool

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.

Most of those “stolen copies” are from Australia where they released it wayy earlier than america

Studio Series Rise of the Beast Scourge looks awesome as hell. -And Cheetor is cool too.

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

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

It's funny that you bring up the background noise in your house yet I never notice it lol

*Optimus in the background* "Nope, not gonna address that"

I had a bumblebee in my hands in the shop yesterday, but decided to get legacy road hauler instead. Hmm maybe next month

Nice Sauron review. When does Scourge come out? :)

I mean in the original RID scourge was a recolor of laser optomis prime so they kinda sorta do look the same

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.

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.

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😐

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.

Battletrap looks like he hates EVERYTHING and EVERYONE, even the one handling him

Bro looks like giant robot Witch King of Angmar. I gotta buy him based on that connection alone.

Glad to see he's not a bad toy, was looking forward to getting him!

I love Airrazor and Bumblebee, I have both and both are just amazing I have the Legends Studio Series Rhinox and that’s probably my favorite rn I plan to get the Cheetos at some point

Great informative review.

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’m ready for BBTS to get their Scourge stock

I remember the spaghetti test figure of Scourge, thank God that's fixed in the release

Is the door a solid core or hollow core? Solid core core doors help insulate sound

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

The furnace intro lol

I swear bro, every time you mention the furnace I strain to try to hear it and I never do lol.

The only figures I'd want to get are Scourge and Battletrap. Though the arm kibble on Battletrap makes me a bit more hesitant.

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.

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.

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

Does your cheetor have any loose joints?

1:17 Oh hi Thok!

Gotta see how Scourge looks with ROTF Lockdown at some point 😁

Hasbro really took their time on Scourge

I wish you could put the claw arm in the gun barrel and give him a crazy arm

Now I'm waiting for DNA Design to give him an upgrade kit for his legs

0:48 i cant lmaoooo this is just funny af

how much they cost in canada, cause in Slovakia the price is 33€for deluxe, 19€ for core, 48€ for voyager, 75€ for leader

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.

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.

"He does have a waist rotation...............weeee"😂😂

Do you think we'll get a leader Optimus fig for rotb?

All these figures I do custom paint on so I'm good if I don't like the paint when new

I don’t like the back of the truck, it just looks like the smokestacks doesn’t tap and unfinished so yeah that’s my only gripe with the truck figure mode

When are they going to be in stores

I just ordered mine.

0:37 "This idiot in here!" 🤣

Is anyone having a problem with the smoke stakes being very loose & not staying in place while transformed ?

8:47 | I take it then that you have no interest in that Bay-Prime = Scourge theory?

I didn't know the tremors movies and transformers were related😂

Scourge his truck mode looks like the truck megatron was in DoTm

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.

That neck man! I will never get over why the designers of the to decided to give him such a long neck.

I own battletrap but who knows I might get scourge in the future

I also want them together with galvatron ss

Hope someone makes a rid 2001 looking head for it

the way you said Truck is the best thing I've heard all day

Battletrap is by far my favorite design of all of these, shame hes not a great figure
