One of Megatron's twisted schemes involved corrupting a stolen Autobot protoform with Decepticon programming. In the process, the protoform scanned some attributes of Optimus Prime, but the Decepticon programming held—and Prime's dark doppelgänger Scourge was born. Scourge is arguably Megatron's second in command, leading the new Decepticon forces, a much more effective unit than Sky-Byte's Predacons.
He is a ruthless and cunning warrior who contains all of Optimus Prime's strengths and skill, but none of his compassion and mercy. He's also a very ambitious warrior, with plans to dethrone Megatron!
Scourge's greatest strength is also his weakness—his temper. Fearless and furious, he charges into battle wildly hacking his broadsword as his trailer combat deck launches missile barrages overhead. Yet his rage also makes him impatient, petulant, and easily provoked; it also scares the heck out of his subordinates.
Naturally, Sky-Byte sees Scourge as a threat on just about every level. For once, he's right.
