'''Scourge''' is [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron's]] implacable tracker and leader of his own cadré of huntsmen, the deadly [[Sweep]]s. He was created by [[Unicron]] from the remains of a dead [[Decepticon]]. Immensely powerful like all the Unicronian Decepticons, arrogance is his only true weakness. Despite being quite powerful in his own right, Scourge generally acts as a near subordinate to [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], and, despite his leadership of the Sweeps, is generally content to take orders from others.  Scourge tends to grumble and complain a bit (a habit sometimes shared by his Sweeps).

Following the Battle of [[Autobot City]] in 2005, Scourge was created from the remains of [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] by [[Unicron]]. Scourge was designated commander of his legion of huntsmen, the [[Sweeps]], and traveled with his new leader, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Galvatron, Scourge and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] then returned to Autobot City and sent the remaining Autobots fleeing into outer space.

After blasting their ship, the Decepticons believed the Autobots dead. Unicron sent a painful message to Galvatron, informing him he was wrong.  Galvatron argued the point until Scourge reminded his leader "we belong to him". The Decepticons then tracked the Autobots to [[Junkion (planet)|the Planet of Junk]] where Scourge and the Sweeps dismembered [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and stole the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Unicron learned of Galvatron's intended rebellion and attacked Cybertron. Whether Scourge, who was vocally loyal to Unicron, fought to protect Cybertron is unknown. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

After the Decepticons were sent packing to [[Chaar]], Cyclonus and Scourge went on an expedition to track down their lost leader, Galvatron, who hadn't been seen since Unicron went kablooey. They found Galvatron soaking in a lava pit on [[Thrull]], and much to their disappointment, discovered their leader had gone totally nuts. Galvatron was set to plow his way through his minions before Scourge took to bended knee and appealed to Galvatron's ego to stop. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness}}

Scourge continued to serve the Decepticon cause, though his effectiveness was debatable. Scourge would prove to be a very poor leader, with his followers, the Sweeps, constantly ignoring his orders (though they were scared to death of Cyclonus). {{storylink|Thief in the Night}} He was later possessed by the disembodied [[spark|ghost]] of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], though this eventually became a mutual partnership.  Starscream intended to help Unicron turn Cybertron into his new body in exchange for a new body of his own.  Scourge began to have second thoughts about this until Unicron reminded him that "what I have given you, I can also take away". Scourge eventually left Unicron and rejoined the Decepticons. Why Galvatron accepted his return instead of, oh...reducing him to composite particles is unknown. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine}}

and sent the remaining Autobots fleeing into outer space.


At one point, Autobot commander [[Hot Rod|Rodimus Prime]] was separated from the Matrix of Leadership by Galvatron. Galvatron, who was haunted by the spirits within it, instructed Scourge to dispose of the Matrix. Scourge decided to use the power of the Matrix to his advantage and installed it within his chest.  ''Very'' bad idea. The Matrix proved incompatible with Decepticon programming, causing Scourge to morph into a hideous freak with the power driving him mad. Scourge attempted to seize control of the Decepticons until Hot Rod took back the Matrix. Scourge was left at the mercy of a very unhappy Galvatron, but somehow beat the reaper yet again. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

In 2007, Scourge journeyed to [[Nebulos]] with his fellow Decepticons while following the Autobots. The Decepticons formed an alliance with the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]], and Scourge was [[Binary-bonding|binary-bonded]] to [[Fracas]], becoming a [[Targetmaster]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

At one point they attempted to prove their worth by stealing [[Trypticon]] and using him to hunt down a mysterious sixchanger. However, that plan failed miserably when that sixchanger turned out to be their own ally, [[Sixshot]].  Both Scourge and Cyclonus ditched Trypticon in battle, leading to the Decepticon city's destruction (though he was eventually repaired). Scourge and Cyclonus did little of anything noteworthy after this. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}

''Following Unicron's consumption of Cybertron's moons, Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge traveled back in time from 2006 to 1986 as part of a plan to free themselves from Unicron's control by constructing a massive cannon that would destroy him upon their return to the future. The three Unicronian Decepticons proved themselves almost invincible in the face of the Autobots' attacks, but were finally defeated when Galvatron was duped into believing he was trapped in a temporal paradox, and returned to his own time to live out the remaining events of 2006.'' {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

to have second thoughts about this until Unicron reminded him that "what I have
given you, I can also take away". Scourge eventually left Unicron and rejoined
the Decepticons. Why Galvatron accepted his return instead of, oh...reducing him
to composite particles is unknown. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap

''Following the destruction of Unicron at the hands of Rodimus Prime and the [[Matrix]], Galvatron transported himself back in time to 1987, leaving Cyclonus and Scourge in the future, under [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]’s command. The duo were attacked by the freelance peace-keeping agent, [[Death's Head]], who was seeking the bounty on Galvatron’s head, and Cyclonus revealed Galvatron’s whereabouts to him. {{storylink|Wanted - Galvatron Dead or Alive}} Later, Shockwave hired Death’s Head to kill Rodimus Prime, but Cyclonus and Scourge interfered with the job as they sought to kill Rodimus first, in order to reclaim their lost standing amongst the Decepticons. {{storylink|Headhunt}} This did not please Death’s Head, and consequently, he willingly accepted a contract from Rodimus to hunt down Cyclonus and Scourge, eventually tracking them down to the planet of Junk as 2008 dawned.

Death's Head, however, was able to fight the mind control and work with the Autobots long enough to stop the chaos-bringer's plan. As explosions destroyed Unicron, Death's Head tackled Cyclonus and Scourge, pushing them through a time portal Unicron had built, promising to kill them another time. The two Decepticons were hurled into the past of Cybertron by the portal, where they came under the command of Scorponok. {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}}''

the power of the Matrix to his advantage and installed it within his chest.

''Cyclonus and Scourge’s displacement into the past had circumvented the normal mass-replacement method used by time-travel, and had hence unbalanced the space-time continuum, causing a rift to appear in the fabric of space and time. Cyclonus' death, twenty years before he was even created, proved to be the final straw, accelerating the rift, which soon threatened to consume Earth and Cybertron. Realizing that the only way to stop it was to return himself, Galvatron and Cyclonus to their original time, Scourge attempted to recover Cyclonus’ body from Shockwave, only to be attacked by the deranged Decepticon, who had lost his mind due to the illogical nature of the situation, and had strung Cyclonus' remains up like a twisted trophy. Scourge staggered back to the time rift and allowed it to take him, hoping that that would have some effect on the situation. It didn't. [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]], however, succeeded where Scourge had failed, and was able to bring Shockwave back sanity enough for him to deposit Cyclonus’ remains after Galvatron and Scourge, and then seal it with an x-ray blast. Scourge was not seen again after this, and it is unknown exactly what happened to Scourge after he entered the rift. {{storylink|Time Wars}}''

Both Scourge's and Cyclonus' intelligence seemed to have evaporated by the
year 2011, leaving Galvatron's once right-hand men nothing but a pair of
bumbling oafs.  


: Some releases of Scourge came with a piece of a four-part ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' poster with glow-in-the-dark elements.

: Scourge once again transforms into a retro-futuristic hovercraft, this time with a more accurate sculpt to his animation model. While not 100% accurate, the wings in particular are now hinged in the middle to allow them to open wider, and the legs have a much more closely detailed design. But man does he have a big forehead.

<I>Following Unicron's consumption of Cybertron's moons, Galvatron, Cyclonus
and Scourge traveled back in time from 2006 to 1986 as part of a plan to free
themselves from Unicron's control by constructing a massive cannon that would
destroy him upon their return to the future. The three Unicronian Decepticons
proved themselves almost invincible in the face of the Autobots' attacks, though
a lucky shot destroyed Scourge's weapon after he had incapacitated <A
class=mw-redirect title=Trailbreaker
href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Trailbreaker">Trailbreaker</A>, and Scourge was
relatively weaponless (most of his weapons could only be used in vehicle mode).
Though he also took down <A title=Grapple
href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Grapple">Grapple</A>, Megatron managed to down
Scourge and use him as a barganing chip. The future Decepticons were finally
defeated when Galvatron was duped into believing he was trapped in a temporal
paradox, and returned to his own time to live out the remaining events of
2006.</I> <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap

* It's not known how much (if any) communication there was between Marvel's US office and the UK offices where Simon Furman was churning out his behind-the-scenes stories, but regardless, Cyclonus and Scourge completely disappeared from the US book after ''[[Headmasters (comic)|Headmasters]]'' -- leaving Furman free to send them off to find Galvatron. {{storylink|Wrecking Havoc}}

<I>Following the destruction of Unicron at the hands of Rodimus Prime and the  
<A title="Matrix of Leadership"

transported himself back in time to 1987, leaving Cyclonus and Scourge in the  
future, under <A title="Shockwave (G1)"
href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Shockwave_(G1)">Shockwave</A>’s command. The duo
were attacked by the freelance peace-keeping agent, <A title="Death's Head"

bounty on Galvatron’s head, and Cyclonus revealed Galvatron’s whereabouts to

Decepticons.</I> <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap

<I>This did not please Death’s Head, and consequently, he willingly accepted a
contract from Rodimus to hunt down Cyclonus and Scourge, eventually tracking
them down to the planet of Junk as 2008 dawned. Before he could finish the job,
however, all three of them fell under the mind-controlling influence of Unicron,
whose disembodied head had survived the destruction of his body and had landed
on the planet, where he was having the native Junkions construct a new body for
him.</I>

mind control and work with the Autobots long enough to stop the chaos-bringer's
plan. As explosions destroyed Unicron, Death's Head tackled Cyclonus and
Scourge, pushing them through a time portal Unicron had built, promising to kill
them another time. The two Decepticons were hurled into the past of Cybertron by
the portal, where they came under the command of Scorponok.</I> <SPAN

&lt;I&gt;At this point in time, the comic book personalities of Scourge and Cyclonus
had been well-established, and distinctly different from the cartoon—here,
Scourge was the intelligent, scheming brains of the duo, while Cyclonus was the
dull-witted brawn, and that personality trait remained as strong as
ever.&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;I&gt;Unfortunately, Cyclonus accidentally let slip that they would kill
Shockwave in the future. Naturally wanting to ensure his continued existence,
Shockwave unleashed a brainwashed Megatron clone upon the two. As Megatron
killed &lt;A title="Nightstick (Decepticon)"
href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nightstick_(Decepticon)"&gt;Nightstick&lt;/A&gt; and
grappled with Cyclonus, Scourge took aim at the clone...but stopped. He realized
that killing Megatron in 1988 would likely prevent Galvatron's creation in 2006,
and possibly his own as well. Unwilling to take the chance, he abandoned his
comrade and fled.&lt;/I&gt; &lt;SPAN class=tt1_nowrap

told Shockwave about me and Cyclonus killing him. Should I kill him? I...
can't... resist..."&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;I&gt;Cyclonus and Scourge’s displacement into the past had circumvented the
normal mass-replacement method used by time-travel, and had hence unbalanced the
space-time continuum, causing a rift to appear in the fabric of space and time.
Cyclonus' death, eighteen years before he was even created, proved to be the
final straw, accelerating the rift, which soon threatened to consume Earth and
Cybertron. Realizing that the only way to stop it was to return himself,
Galvatron and Cyclonus to their original time, Scourge attempted to recover
Cyclonus’ body from Shockwave, only to be attacked by the deranged Decepticon,
who had lost his mind due to the illogical nature of the situation, and had
strung Cyclonus' remains up like a twisted trophy. Scourge staggered back to the
time rift and allowed it to take him, hoping that that would have some effect on
the situation. It didn't. &lt;A title="Ravage (G1)"
href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ravage_(G1)"&gt;Ravage&lt;/A&gt;, however, succeeded where
Scourge had failed, and was able to bring Shockwave back sanity enough for him
to deposit Cyclonus’ remains after Galvatron and Scourge, and then seal it with
an x-ray blast. Scourge was not seen again after this, and it is unknown exactly
what happened to Scourge after he entered the rift.&lt;/I&gt; &lt;SPAN class=tt1_nowrap

An alternate version of Scourge later made a brief appearance, inhabiting an
alternate future world of 2009 where Cybertron had been destroyed and Galvatron
ruled Earth. With only seven Autobots left alive, Scourge battled &lt;A

Scourge, arriving on Cybertron, managed to reactivate &lt;A

href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Shockwave_(G1)"&gt;Shockwave&lt;/A&gt; for the purpose of
observing him, but Shockwave was soon attacked by &lt;A title="Sharkticon (G1)"
href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Sharkticon_(G1)"&gt;Sharkticons&lt;/A&gt;. Scourge managed
to destroy a number of Sharkticons and drive off the rest. As a way a saying
thank you, Shockwave shot Scourge in the back, took him prisoner, dissected him,
and rebuilt the Unicronian Transformer.

legs have a much more closely detailed design. But man does he have a big

He was created by <A title=Unicron href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron">Unicron</A> from the remains of a dead <A title=Decepticon href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Decepticon">Decepticon</A>. Immensely powerful like all the Unicronian Decepticons, arrogance is his only true weakness. Despite being quite powerful in his own right, Scourge generally acts as a near subordinate to <A title="Cyclonus (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cyclonus_(G1)">Cyclonus</A>, and, despite his leadership of the Sweeps, is generally content to take orders from others. Scourge tends to grumble and complain a bit (a habit sometimes shared by his Sweeps).

But then again, you'd also complain if your boss spent so much time beating you up, wouldn't you? His <A title=Targetmaster href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Targetmaster">Targetmaster</A> partner is <A title=Fracas href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fracas">Fracas</A>.

Scourge was designated commander of his legion of huntsmen, the <A class=mw-redirect title=Sweeps href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Sweeps">Sweeps</A>, and traveled with his new leader, <A title="Galvatron (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Galvatron_(G1)">Galvatron</A>, back to <A title="Cybertron (planet)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cybertron_(planet)">Cybertron</A>. Galvatron, Scourge and <A title="Cyclonus (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cyclonus_(G1)">Cyclonus</A> then returned to <A title="Autobot City" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Autobot_City">Autobot City</A> and sent the remaining Autobots fleeing into outer space.

After blasting their ship, the Decepticons believed the Autobots dead. Unicron sent a painful message to Galvatron, informing him he was wrong. Galvatron argued the point until Scourge reminded his leader "we belong to him". The Decepticons then tracked the Autobots to the <A title="Junkion (planet)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Junkion_(planet)">Planet of Junk</A> where Scourge and the Sweeps dismembered <A title="Ultra Magnus (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ultra_Magnus_(G1)">Ultra Magnus</A> and stole the <A title="Matrix of Leadership" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Matrix_of_Leadership">Matrix of Leadership</A>. Unicron learned of Galvatron's intended rebellion and attacked Cybertron. Whether Scourge, who was vocally loyal to Unicron, fought to protect Cybertron is unknown. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="The Transformers: The Movie" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Transformers:_The_Movie">The Transformers: The Movie</A></SPAN>

After the Decepticons were sent packing to <A title=Chaar href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Chaar">Chaar</A>, Cyclonus and Scourge went on an expedition to track down their lost leader, Galvatron, who hadn't been seen since Unicron went kablooey. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Five_Faces_of_Darkness,_Part_1">Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1</A></SPAN> They found Galvatron soaking in a lava pit on <A title=Thrull href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Thrull">Thrull</A>, and much to their disappointment, discovered their leader had gone totally nuts. Galvatron was set to plow his way through his minions before Scourge took to bended knee and appealed to Galvatron's ego to stop. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Five_Faces_of_Darkness,_Part_2">Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2</A></SPAN> Scourge and Cyclonus took their leader back to Chaar to command the Decepticon army, only to find the planet all but deserted. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Five_Faces_of_Darkness,_Part_3">Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3</A></SPAN> It turned out that the other Decepticons had allied with the <A title=Quintesson href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Quintesson">Quintessons</A>, which after some negotiation led to a Decepticon-Quintesson joint attack on Cybertron. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Five_Faces_of_Darkness,_Part_4">Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4</A></SPAN> Scourge participated in this attack, but the Decepticons were eventually driven away. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Five_Faces_of_Darkness,_Part_5">Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5</A></SPAN>

Scourge and his Sweeps were working with Galvatron and Cyclonus to hunt Rodimus Prime, when they came across the <A title="Autobot Mausoleum" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Autobot_Mausoleum">Autobot Mausoleum</A> in deep space. Infiltrating the space barge, they continued their attack on the Autobots until <A title="Optimus Prime (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Prime_(G1)">Optimus Prime</A> himself rose from the grave to fight back. Scourge and his huntsmen fled before the former Autobot leader, forcing Galvatron and Cyclonus to withdraw as well. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="Dark Awakening" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dark_Awakening">Dark Awakening</A></SPAN>

Scourge and Cyclonus were hunting the <A title="Aerialbot (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Aerialbot_(G1)">Aerialbot</A> called <A title="Air Raid (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Air_Raid_(G1)">Air Raid</A> for sport, but were caught in an ambush when the other Aerialbots jumped them in an asteroid field. The two Decepticons fled through a nearby vortex and crashed on the peaceful planet known as <A title=Paradron href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Paradron">Paradron</A>. Finding the world rich with energon resources, Scourge and Cyclonus immediately alerted Galvatron to their find and began to plunder the world of energy. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="Fight or Flee" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fight_or_Flee">Fight or Flee</A></SPAN>

When <A title=Octane href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Octane">Octane</A> took <A title="Trypticon (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Trypticon_(G1)">Trypticon</A> to <A class=mw-redirect title=Carbombya href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Carbombya">Carbombya</A> without permission, Scourge came with Galvatron and the other Decepticons to chastise the fueler for disobedience. His discovery of super-energon made from Carbombyan oil temporarily assuaged Galvatron's anger, but once the Decepticons were forced out of Carbombya by the Autobots, Galvatron expelled Octane as a traitor to the cause. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="Thief in the Night" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Thief_in_the_Night">Thief in the Night</A></SPAN> Sometime later, Scourge was hunting Octane on Cybertron with Cyclonus and the Sweeps, when their prey fled underground into the <A title="Decepticon Crypt" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Decepticon_Crypt">Decepticon Crypt</A>.

He was later possessed by the disembodied <A title=Spark href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Spark">ghost</A> of <A title="Starscream (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Starscream_(G1)">Starscream</A>, though this eventually became a mutual partnership. Starscream intended to help Unicron turn Cybertron into his new body in exchange for a new body of his own. Scourge began to have second thoughts about this until Unicron reminded him that "what I have given you, I can also take away". Scourge eventually left Unicron and rejoined the Decepticons. Why Galvatron accepted his return instead of, oh...reducing him to composite particles is unknown. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="Ghost in the Machine" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ghost_in_the_Machine">Ghost in the Machine</A></SPAN>

While searching for a new source of <A title=Anti-electron href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Anti-electron">anti-electrons</A>, the Decepticons attempted to raid Unicron's brain. Galvatron and the <A title="Terrorcon (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Terrorcon_(G1)">Terrorcons</A> occupied the Autobots while Scourge and Cyclonus went after the prize. They found a flask of anti-electrons just waiting to be drained, but upset Unicron in the process and were blasted by his internal defenses. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="Grimlock's New Brain" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Grimlock's_New_Brain">Grimlock's New Brain</A></SPAN>

Galvatron, who was haunted by the spirits within it, instructed Scourge to dispose of the Matrix. Scourge decided to use the power of the Matrix to his advantage and installed it within his chest. Very bad idea. The Matrix proved incompatible with Decepticon programming, causing Scourge to morph into a hideous freak with the power driving him mad. Scourge attempted to seize control of the Decepticons until <B style="COLOR: black; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff66">Hot</B> <B style="COLOR: black; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #a0ffff">Rod</B> took back the Matrix.

In 2007, the Decepticons stole the <A title="Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Key_to_the_Plasma_Energy_Chamber">key</A> to the <A class=mw-redirect title="Plasma Energy Chamber" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Plasma_Energy_Chamber">Plasma Energy Chamber</A> on Cybertron, and Scourge was set with infiltrating the chamber whilst the other Decepticons performed a full-scale assault on the planet as a diversion. He succeeded, but inserting the key into the chamber led to a plasma energy burst that very nearly killed him. He was saved by an <A title="Energon infuser" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Energon_infuser">energon infusion</A> from Cyclonus, and was subsequently sent to find the Autobots who had taken the key back while Scourge was unconscious.

After clashing with the brand new Autobot <A title="Headmaster (technology)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Headmaster_(technology)">Headmasters</A> and losing badly, Scourge and the others were kidnapped by the Nebulon group known as the <A title="Hive (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hive_(G1)">Hive</A>, who offered to <A class=mw-redirect title=Binary-bonding href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Binary-bonding">binary-bond</A> with the Decepticons and increase their power. Scourge chose to become a <A title=Targetmaster href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Targetmaster">Targetmaster</A>, getting the loud Nebulan <A title=Fracas href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fracas">Fracas</A> as his partner, and the Decepticon Headmasters and Targetmasters subsequently attacked and defeated the Autobots. Scourge got the key to the Plasma Energy Chamber back and voiced his desire to destroy the Autobots completely before moving on, only for Fracas to threaten to shoot him unless the Decepticons went back to the Hive as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the Autobots copied their Targetmaster technology and went back into battle, and <A title="Arcee (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Arcee_(G1)">Arcee</A> managed to knock Scourge down and steal the key back. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="The Rebirth, Part 2" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Rebirth,_Part_2">The Rebirth, Part 2</A></SPAN> <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="The Rebirth, Part 3" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Rebirth,_Part_3">The Rebirth, Part 3</A></SPAN>

Realizing that the only way to stop it was to return himself, Galvatron and Cyclonus to their original time, Scourge attempted to recover Cyclonus’ body from Shockwave, only to be attacked by the deranged Decepticon, who had lost his mind due to the illogical nature of the situation, and had strung Cyclonus' remains up like a twisted trophy.

It didn't. <A title="Ravage (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ravage_(G1)">Ravage</A>, however, succeeded where Scourge had failed, and was able to bring Shockwave back sanity enough for him to deposit Cyclonus’ remains after Galvatron and Scourge, and then seal it with an x-ray blast.

Scourge transforms into a Cybertronic hovercraft. On early releases, the

blue on the center of Scourge's alt mode was paint. This was changed to two stickers for later releases. The stickers on his ankles tend to get damaged through normal transformation.

Some releases of Scourge came with a piece of a four-part <I><A

  • Scourge (6-inch Cybertron Heroes, 2006)
Scourge once again transforms into a retro-futuristic hovercraft, this

time with a more accurate sculpt to his animation model (well, minus the head) and significantly improved articulation. While not 100% accurate, the wings in particular are now hinged in the middle to allow them to open wider, and the legs have a much more closely detailed design. But man does he have a big forehead.
