Scourge, disguised as the [[Autobot]] [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]], interrogated the captured [[Tripredacus Council|Tripredacus]] agent [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]]. Upon determining that Flamewar could be trusted not to betray her employers, he invited her into the organization of the Predacon insurrectionist [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]. She accepted. {{storylink|Intimidation Game}}

Scourge was among the Predacons recruited by [[Magmatron]] following his arrival on ancient Earth, from one of the many [[protoform]]s scattered across the planet. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 2|The Gathering #2}}

Sent to find Maximals out southwest, Scourge ventured into a swamp along with [[Transquito]], [[Insecticon (BW)|Insecticon]], [[Retrax]], and [[Powerpinch]]. He was very happy to be able to fire onto unsuspecting prey. Unfortunately, they encountered the territorial [[Mutant (BW)|Mutants]], who proceeded to beat the slag out of them. Being the only two Predacons standing after witnessing Powerpinch being dismembered, Scourge and Insecticon quickly turned abdomens, noting the area as "clear with nothing to report." {{storylink|The Gathering issue 3|The Gathering #3}}

He later accompanied [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] and many other Predacons in seeking out [[Razorbeast]] and his forces at the Maximal lair. They managed to surround the Maximals, and he prepared for the final blow...

...only to have his right wing torn off by [[Bantor (BW)|Bantor]] (and left behind when he ran off) during a large battle between the Predacon and Maximal forces when [[Torca (BW)|Torca]] burst onto the scene with reinforcements. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 4|The Gathering #4}}

The Predacons didn't give up so easily, though, and Scourge later participated in another attack on the Maximal lair. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 1|The Ascending #1}} As part of the flying insect squad, he fought well against the ground-bound Maximals... until his wings were broken again and he got kicked in the chest by [[Mach Kick]]. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 2|The Ascending #2}}

The battle was interrupted by the arrival of [[Rartorata]], a minion of [[Shokaract]] sent to destroy both the Predacons and Maximals. After firing at this new foe from the ground for a bit, Scourge took to the air again and helped several other fliers wrestle him to the ground. Shortly afterwards, he was deemed fit enough to return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and help defeat Shokaract himself. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 3|The Ascending #3}} Led by [[Noctorro]], Scourge participated in an aerial attack on Shokaract, and was blasted out of the air almost immediately for his efforts. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 4|The Ascending #4}}

'''Skurge''' (though he liked to spell his name "Scourge" like [[Scourge (G1)|the infamous Decepticon]]) {{storylink|Derailment}} was on the Predacon team in a monumental match of the [[Games]], which was interrupted by [[Lio Convoy]]'s assassination of [[Supersonic]] and call for an uprising against the [[Builder of Cybertron|Builders]]. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}} He remained behind with some teammates, declaring a victory for the Predacons. {{storylink|Head Games}}

Subsequently, he became part of Queen [[Rage (BWN)|Rage]]'s army during the [[Grand Uprising]]. When the [[Vehicon Apocalypse]] came, Skurge and [[Shutterbug]] were deployed to scout the infested [[Proximax]]. Shutterbug was assimilated by the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]s, with Skurge barely escaping with his life, forcing Rage to take the Vehicon threat seriously. {{storylink|Derailment}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
Scourge was one of [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Onyx Prime]]'s Maximals. When the Maximals invaded Cybertron, he was one of the many warriors who wound up battling [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]]. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|Unforgivable}}

[[File:BW Scourge toy.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66| ''Tell me I'm pretty.'' ]]
: Scourge transforms into a [[Transmetal 2]] bio-mechanical monstrous locust. His beast mode does not clearly homage any singular species of locust, but instead combines several of their common traits, including elongated rear legs and a brightly spotted abdomen and wings. His [[spark crystal]] is in his left [[alternate mode]] eye. His wings swing forward by pulling a plunger-mechanism in his [[beast mode]] abdomen; the left wing conceals a spring-loaded missile launcher. The other wing also holds a launchable missile, but the wing proper is only for storage. The missiles have a blade-like appearance and can be held as swords in the [[robot mode]]'s right hand. Like the rest of the Transmetal 2 line, Scourge is heavily shaped by asymmetrical detailing, particularly on the most prominent features of two his modes. For example, his organic compound locust eye is mirrored by a tessellating, hexagonal dome eye which is deliberately fractured to serve as a grip for lifting the eye and revealing his spark crystal. Unfortunately, Scourge is susceptible to flaking on his orange, 'transmetalised' chrome parts. The figure has no known repaints existing or planned, and was never given a release in Asia.
