| The name or term "Scourge" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Scourge (disambiguation). |
- Scourge is a Terrorcon from the Rise of the Beasts portion of the movie continuity family.
Scourge is an evil, black truck! It happens quite a lot.
Fiction
Rise of the Beasts film
- Voice actor: Peter Dinklage (English)
Further information in this article is coming soon - it just needs someone like you to write it up. |
Toys
Studio Series
- Scourge (Leader Class, 2023)
- Movie: Rise of the Beasts
- Hasbro ID number: 101
- Accessories: blade weapon, detachable blaster and claw
- Known designers: Sam Smith (Hasbro), Takashi Kunihiro (TakaraTomy)[1]
- Released as part of the eleventh wave of Studio Series Leader Class figures, Scourge transforms into a frightening truck in 31 steps. Scourge is compatible with the Core Class Freezer figure as a blaster for his hand and in his truck bed.
- Like the majority of Studio Series figures from Rise of the Beasts, Scourge is based on early concept art, evident by his neck, his smokestacks being visible in robot mode, and the inaccurate chest section/truck grill.
- The hexagonal hinges required for transformation, added with the fact that Scourge's truck cab is entirely clear plastic, can cause the plastic to crack. As there are no known fixes at this time (if any even exist), please be careful when transforming the figure.
- Hasbro revealed the figure on January 30, 2023.
Notes
- Scourge's altmode was first revealed on Steven Caple Jr.'s Instagram account, along with the other two Terrorcons.
- Scourge's design as a large evil semi-truck evokes his Robots in Disguise incarnation. It's also worth noting that this universe's Megatron also adopted a similarly Mad Max-esque truck form during the events of Dark of the Moon.
- Scourge's grill is decorated with insignia "trophies" taken from his slain enemies. Looking closely, one can identify Autobot, Decepticon, Maximal, Mercenary and Wrecker (specifically the two-hammer symbol used in the 2019 IDW design) insignias. This may be a reference to the 1971 film Duel (directed by Steven Spielberg), which featured a similar evil truck with "trophies" along the grill in the form of license plates (and Duel has been referenced in Transformers before).
Foreign names
- Japanese: Scourge (スカージ Sukāji)
