Scourge (Kre-O)

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 Decepticon from the brick-built world of Kre-O.

Scourge is old. Cranky and old. Cranky and old and falling apart. All these younger Decepticons just don't have the respect for the elders they should have. They also lack sweet mustaches. Take that, whippersnappers!

Fiction

Toys

Kre-O

• Scourge (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2013)
  • Collection: 2
  • Bag number: ***** 72
  • Accessories: Stand-brick (or plate, 2015 releases only), small pistol, 2 clip-on rifles

As part of the second wave of blindpacked Micro-Changers, Scourge is a Kreon resembling Generation 1 Scourge and the craft he can be rebuilt into is presumably the same spaceship/hovercraft thing that Scourge turns into. He reuses Mirage's helmet, Starscream's arm guns, and Bumblebee's pistol.

This Collection was still in circulation at "dollar" stores and drug stores up through 2015. They eventually lost the individual-identifying bag codes, but other changes were hidden inside the bag. The 2015 releases replaced the 2x4 logo stand-brick with a new 3x4 logo plate. The Kreon was also given the slight retooling to the arm seen in the 2014 Kreons, making the "cuff" parts more sharp-cornered and better adapted to being used as studs. Some of the add-on pieces may also be slightly off-color, possibly due to a change in factories in mid-production.

• Scourge (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
  • Collection: 2
  • Accessories: Stand-plate, small pistol, 2 clip-on rifles

In 2016, Collection 2 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released Kre-O sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Scourge's paint operations have also been altered to replace the flat light gray paint with shiny silver, as well as changing his faction symbol from solid black to a white-outlined purple.

Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.
