Next Botcon '09 Figure Revealed: Scourge


Article By Destron23

Botcon.com has updated their site with new pictures of the upcoming Scourge out of the Botcon Box set. More pictures can be viewed by clicking here.

This is his quote: "All who defy me shall lay at my feet; broken, crushed and defeated!"

This is his bio:

Scourge fears no Autobot or Decepticon. While loyal to the Decepticon cause, there is no one he will not defy if he feels there is a better way to bring destruction upon the Autobots. Alongside Cyclonus, Scourge and his Huntsmen will not be stopped from searching out and destroying any Autobot that may stand in the way of the Decepticon Empire!






Talk about anti-climatic! Last year's figures were a lot better. About the only one I like this year so far, is Sky Quake and Leozack. This mold doesn't suit Scourge, though I do like the blue used on him, but the red is too much contrast. It doesn't even appear to have the benefit of the Sideways mold with an insignia swapping gimmick. The head is interesting, though a bit flat or plump for Scourge. I don't think this is botcon standards, it's hardly mainstream release standards. Though I wouldn't turn down the figure if it were given to me or was a regular deluxe price. That's another thing. As a main character in the set, Scourge should have been made from a Voyager mold, not a deluxe. If the other toys are this standard, I won't feel sorry for not going to Botcon. And I don't believe the money should be payed for these figures either, unless the next toys we see are awesome.
