Scourge Retrospective - The Arrogant Decepticon Sweep Leader

[@chaotixcompany1427]

The name they just slap on any Cybertronian villain.

[@BladeCrossEXE]

Hm..... You have a point there. There DOES seem to rarely be any sense of uniformity with the namesake, outside of more than one of them being a servant of Unicron.

[@R0-83-RT]

@@BladeCrossEXE Probably unintentional but most if not all them are leaders of a sort, G1 Scourge lead the sweeps, R.I.D Scourge was in Charge of the Decepticon Commandos, Cybertron Scourge was the leader of Jungle Planet, & Rise of the Beasts Scourge lead the Terrorcons. All versions of Scourge are also villains, but that goes without saying Technically Shattered Glass Scourge isn't a villain, but hey its Shattered Glass, that's the point.

[@bitetheasp]

​@@R0-83-RTRID is why I keep thinking of Scourge as evil Optimus Prime instead of Nemesis Prime. lol, whoops

[@RodimusPrimal]

The thing is I like both the RiD and Cybertron characters. But Scourge they are NOT. Black Convoy and Flame Convoy should be localized as Nemesis Prime and Flame Prime.

[@R0-83-RT]

@@bitetheasp fun fact, after R.I.D called Black Convoy, Scourge in the dub, Japan went ahead and decided to call the next evil Optimus Prime, Scourge in Armada/Micron Legends, only for the English Dub team to come up with the name Nemesis Prime. I would imagine the Japanese team were a bit frustrated and confused about that decision.

[@N-GinAndTonicTM]

Scourge always got overshadowed by Cyclonus, so it's nice seeing him in the limelight as the main villain for once.

[@dpt6849]

Cyclonus. Cyclone. Zyklon. 😂

[@thehoopsobserver9078]

“This too is the fault of the matrix!” - Galvatron was a savage for that lol

[@geechie-don7157]

Galvatron/Megatron in G1 had some of the best one liners ever. So damn funny watching as an adult 😂

[@thehoopsobserver9078]

@@geechie-don7157 he really did 😂

[@PlatinumKnight-je3vy]

ROTB Scourge felt like the most intimidating version of the character, collecting of those faction symbols on his shoulder shows this.

[@wingedbluj1674]

Someone counted, and he has over 60 kills

[@justinarzola4584]

Truly the best acolyte Unicron could ask for.

[@HunterTheHero]

@@wingedbluj1674A total of 62 kills, if you count the museum guard as 63.

[@creeper_was_here]

isnt that one just nemsis prime?

[@tylertroknya9780]

My favorite scourge is the Rise of the Beasts because is a combination of the classic g1 and the 2001 Robots in Disguise. Peter Dinkalage did a great job voicing scourge. He’s a herald of Unicron and great at tracking down enemies.

[@Ryder-a-Blaze]

Scourge was an absolute beast in ROTB and a pure evil villain, I’m glad to have his Studio Series figure along with Battletrap and Nightbird.

[@Giantwaspface]

'86 Scourge is still one of my favourite Decepticon designs.

[@matthewreynoso6904]

Yay Scourge! While I would’ve preferred his G1 style self in Knightverse, it was cool how he was in Rise of the Beasts.

[@hotrod5150]

Great retrospective. I definitely like the G1 incarnation the best, but I really dig the RID 2000 too.

[@matthewreynoso6904]

Same!

[@blueraccoon1088]

I mostly like the sweep who said "how come I have to do the dirt work?!" And cybertron dragon scourge is my first he really had arc

[@jdpragmatic8644]

The ROTB version completely reinvented the character for me. He’s the one I now hold as template to all others going forward.

[@cowpuddles4851]

Scourge and the Sweeps are like Wreck-Gar and the Junkions or maybe all the Seekers. The problem is that Scourge looks exactly like his troops. They should have made him more distinct. I really liked the G1 version as a kid because of his beard. He looked like an old veteran which I thought was pretty cool. Oddly he was one of the youngest Decepticons so it didn’t really make sense.

[@darthrage1583]

Rise of the beasts Scourge was the combination of his previous counterparts. He is hearld of Unicron just like his G1 self, has an alt mode of a monstrous truck just like his 2001 RID counterpart and is from a colony world like his Cybertron version. The movie makers really made Scourge a dangerous villain in the film.

[@scottdoesntmatter4409]

Scourge and his Sweeps were more often shot by Galvatron than any Autobot vs Decepticon conflict.

[@gregorylieber8362]

I like that G1 Scourge episodes were the precursor to both Terasaur's power up episode and Waspinator/Starscream episode in Beast Wars

[@matthewreynoso6904]

You’re right! I never noticed that before

[@DJDroz-gh5nt]

Was lucky enough to get the last RID2K Scourge for Christmas, went with my mom to point out what I wanted. Wish they had rerelease the SS version alongside the windowless Hotrod so I could've got him too. I do have two sweeps though.

[@haydenreviewscustomcombos]

I like pronouncing it as Sc”or”ge, instead of scourge because the way Orson Welles says it in the 1986 movie is just one of those things that sticks with you. at least for me.

[@RodimusPrimal]

Same here. I get a lot of flack for that too.

[@haydenreviewscustomcombos]

@@RodimusPrimal I guess how somebody pronounces something it’s just how they choose to pronounce it.

[@RejonMunchausen]

I do that too lol, I just can't help it, that VHS got played to death and infected my brain in many ways...just glad I've never had to go up in front of a judge, my brain will impulsively get me a contempt of court charge

[@BladeCrossEXE]

While the typical WORD is pronounced "Skurrj", I think when talking about the G1 character, that pronunciation is valid. Kinda like how the Star Wars character Savage Opress' name is pronounced "Sah-vahj", instead of "Sav-aj".

[@ignitedmotion5807]

This isn’t anyone’s fault except the people who wrote English

[@garthdavis4320]

The original Scourge is my favorite.

[@Slyarno2795]

I always wanted a 86 studio series Scourge toy for some reason.

[@blueraccoon1088]

Why not a few sweeps?

[@TFfangeek]

Another outstanding retrospective video RodimusPrimal!!! Scourge has lived up to his name by being the scourge that terrorizes the Autobots. LOL :D Keep on being amazing.

[@drozwalker9]

This is a great refresher far as what happened to the Insecticons. Now, I need to rewatch the retrospective on the Sweeps. G1 version of Scouge is my favorite.

[@youwayo]

Apparently in an earlier draft of the movie script, Scourge’s body was based on an older Defepticon leader (based on a statue vaguely shown in Starscream’s coronation). That may explain why he has that “old man” appearance.

[@Nephalem2002]

“You know, Cyclonus is starting to sound like Starscream.” *”WELL NO NEED TO GET INSULTING!”*

[@shebakoby]

Funny story, I was resentful of Scourge (didn't exactly "hate" him but rather resented him for replacing Thundercracker - it's complicated) and the Sweeps until I saw TFTM, since I saw Season 3 & 4 first. I did not see TFTM until 1989 when it was broadcast in 5 parts with Tommy and Powermaster ("Puppetmaster") Prime on TV. Then Scourge and the Sweeps started to grow on me. They acted a lot different in the movie than in the cartoon, so I think that made a difference. But then when I thought about it I understood the behavior change - which occurred after Galvatron abandoned that one Sweep near Jupiter. It was then that the Sweeps knew that it was every mech for himself, literally, and that Galvatron would not come to their rescue if they were in trouble, despite their slavish loyalty, so thus their new "cowardly" behavior.

[@geechie-don7157]

Awesome retrospect! My fav is G1, and I picked up the studio ‘86 one. However, I am really feeling the version from Rise of the Beasts and still on the hunt for that one.

[@g1optimusprime951]

G1 Scourge is always the best

[@Exdeathmore]

I know it's a bit off-topic, but I always thought that Thundercracker becoming Scourge and Skywarp becoming Cyclonus made more sense. In the show, Skywarp was usually depicted as being the most loyal to Megatron of the Seekers, while Thundercracker was more of an opportunist, but not to the same degree as Starscream, and those personalities carried over when they were reformatted.

[@RodimusPrimal]

Completely agree. In fact, that is Flint Dille's reasoning too.

[@KamenRiderSeiryuXV0]

Thanks for the Retrospective Rodimus Primal. I had those toys, the G1 Scourge and RID Black Convoy/Scourge in my collection.

[@360degressboy]

Rise of the beast scourge is one of the best tf villains out there and literally reminds me of tarn

[@diegos7337]

I have always seen the original G1 version as the true Scourge. The other 2 had their own names already in Japan Black Convoy (Nemesis Prime) and Flame Convoy.

[@thehoopsobserver9078]

Great video. Man it’s really crazy how many different iterations that Scourge has had over the years.

[@kyledamron]

Rodimus Primal I think you have the best retrospectives of Transformers on YT, even better than Chris McFeeley's channel which I love too, nothing compares 2U.

[@RazyelKayneReviews]

Amazing retrospective, great work Rodimus. I prefer the original, but have a soft spot for RID scourge too.

[@SilverStreak9841uoattob]

Bow down to Scourge!

[@Jrasta111]

... Everyone's got to be somewhere.

[@loutzenheiser6081]

Loved G1 Scourge and Cyclonus. They were awesome!

[@dukenukem9770]

The history behind the idea of Nemesis Prime is quite fascinating! Thanks for posting!

[@ArchGeek]

Quick correction: Re-coloring Prime in this color scheme didn’t start with RiD Scourge/Black Convoy. It started with Black Lio Convoy. Folks seem to forget that a lot. We have Beast Wars II to thank for Nemesis Prime.

[@RodimusPrimal]

I actually stated that. "While he wasn't the first..." I went into more detail in my Nemesis Prime Retrospective.

[@ArchGeek]

Yeah, you noted he “wasn’t the first dark clone of Optimus” but you went on to state “his popularity sparked a trend of recoloring Prime into a black, gray and teal color scheme.” If Scourge in RiD was named Nemesis Prime, this would make sense, but he’s not. Instead he’s just the second clone of Convoy in black, grey, and teal. Beast Wars II sparked the trend.

[@thedeangaming4010]

It was still rid Scourge that made the recolor popular. Lio may have been first but he did not spark the popularity that Scourge did. So rodimus Primal is still correct and you're mistaken

[@ianbrewster8934]

Always liked Scourge and the Sweeps. Great video

[@basedpota]

I LOVE the Fallen Angel aesthetic for villains like G1 Scourge has I wish ROTB had more of that style for Scourge

[@leonigama5597]

great job about Scourge Retrospective of Discussion and Review from Transformers

[@J.L.The-runt]

Completely unrelated, but in the new Rise of The Beasts movie, I see Battletrap as a kind of Sweep since he is one of Scourge’s henchmen. Yes I know Battletrap has his own G1 counterpart but seeing him similar to a Sweep from G1 feels like it fits>>>

[@gabbpolicarpio1236]

Wrong!!! ROTB Scourge already has multiple Sweeps. The first 2, that reside within him, are Novakane & Freezer. The rest look like scorpions (a probable hint to Scorponok) even though most of them have 6 legs. Edit: anyways, that will be all... Till all are one.

[@TheGundamsword]

Scourge: the name applied to a Decepticon character that hasbro doesn't know what to call. 😂

[@ssmc2112]

Nice retrospective and I’m glad that they pick Scourge the main villain for Rise of the Beast

[@nicolekarpa7468]

Scourge G1 is my favorite, he looks cool with his Moustache!!!

[@jaysgamingcorner8539]

G1 Scourge will always be the best, imo, but RID is a pretty close 2nd. Awesome video

[@omegamaximus1727]

I love how G1 Scourge and Live Action Scourge look like demons.

[@Nagatem]

I have to say it, but RID scourge is still my favorite, He was in charge of a combiner team (Ruination) aka gold bruticus, Which he made them pretend to be good and pick up trash, control, traffic, etc. just to get a one up on the good guys and he wanted to control a titan which unfortunately did not work

[@justzillathekingofgames6867]

Besides RID 2001, ROTB, Scourge, G1 will always be my favorite out of all of his incarnations. Great video as always primal. Till all are one

Scourge is also the leader of The Sweeps a specially created wolf pack of tracker-terminators, body-clones of Scourge, designed to hunt down and eradicate Autobots and their human, Humanoid,Nebulan, and Alien Allies, Scourge is also Merciless,Arrogant,Fearsome, and An Unstoppable Hunter and Killer, Scourge also has contempt for other beings particularly The Autobots Their Human and Nebulan Allies and all their Counterparts(from Beast Wars Continuity to The Earthspark Continuity), Also Nebulan Hive member Fracas is Scourge's Targetmaster Weapon who carries a Hair Trigger and violate temper. Also Scourge's only weakness is his arrogance, Scourge is also a member of The Evil Decepticons and The Deception TargetMasters and Headmasters and a current Alliy of The Hive,Also my other favorite version of Scourge is ROTB Scourge,Scourge was absolute beast in ROTB(Rise Of The Beasts) and a Pure evil Villain, I'll probably get his Studio Series figure later this year, Also ROTB Scourge fell like the most intimidating version of the character/Bad Guy/Evildoer/Villain/Supervillain, collecting of those faction symbols on his shoulder shows this. Also The ROTB Scourge is a combination of the Classic G1 and the 2001 Robots in Disguise. Peter Dinkalage did a great job voicing Scourge. He's a Herald of Unicron and great at tracking down enemies. Also Great but Superb Retrospective. I definitely like the G1 Incarnation the best but I really dig the Live Action Movie version of Scourge too. Also This a great refresher far as what happened to the Insecticons. Now I going to watch the Retrospective on the Sweeps tomorrow G1 Scourge(Cartoon) is my favorite. Also Amazing but Nice retrospective and I'm glad that they pick The main villain for Rise Of The Beast. Also Cybertron Dragon Scourge is my other favorite. '86 Scourge is still one of my favorite Decepticons of all time, Also thank you for sharing Rodimus, all I can say is keep up the good work stay safe out there have a good day and until next time TILL ALL ARE ONE.🙂🟢🦸💪🇺🇲🌆🏋️💚

[@cyberprime9355]

Scourge, I feel, is one of a few names that I think is reasonable to re-use time and time again. This name can mean so many different things. Be it in reference to a plague of insects, especially of biblical proportions, a rampant virus, or even an invasion of an alien or cosmic force. I feel that the ROTB version of scourge was the best considering he sounded so cold. So...devoid was he that he became a bounty hunter that Lockdown wishes he could be....Just probably the most callous villain to date.

[@shebakoby]

Geewun Scourge, hands down.

[@shebakoby]

by the way, I had a slight influence (via the Dreamwave boards) on how Scourge was portrayed visually in those comics. I said Scourge should have fangs, so they gave him fangs. (this was before I knew that Scourge was supposed to have fangs in the earlier drafts of TFTM). The first portrayal had sharp incisors in between said fangs (pointed), so I told them maybe next time flatten those incisors out and they obliged, so that's why in Scourge's appearance (attacking a ship that had Skyfire on board) was slightly different, still with fangs, but with flat incisors instead of pointy ones. I may also have been partially responsible for the idea that Scourge was created by Unicron as a being all his own, rather than being a recycled Thundercracker. (my own preference in my own fanficverse is a bit different from that - although Scourge is still his own mech and not someone else redone - but close enough). I think I also might be (indirectly? I didn't write/draw it or nothing but by planting the idea in their heads) responsible for the Sweeps literally gnawing on Autobots in the IDW comics.

[@nicholaspeberdy8537]

@@RodimusPrimal oh pardon me i was getting confused, thought you did one and redid it for RoTB to add that Scourge. I forgor.

[@RodimusPrimal]

@@shebakoby it's Mirage I need to redo for that reason.

[@shebakoby]

@@RodimusPrimal ah, i see. I think I was confused cuz there's other youtubers out there that did vidya on Scourge and somehow I thought you did one because of that. But it'll be great to see the refurbished Mirage video anyway when it comes.

I remember that before Rise of the Beast was released, there was the rumour that Scourge was the Bayverse PRime, tha would have been great
