G2 Laser Prime or Scourge?

[@miraitrunks1019]

Scourge 😈

[@nathanvanhelvoort468]

I agree scourge

[@TheAutisticOwl]

Scourge definitely

[@silentone3357]

Nemesis Prime

[@90lancaster]

Black Battle Convoy is a bit over decorated in robot mode i'd say. Also "they were to cheap to chrome the trailer" I note.

[@tfdude4891]

I was expecting a more typical trans-red for the windows and weapons, but the bright pink really pops against the black and teal.

[@crimsondynamo615]

Yeah that’s a change that honestly helps to improve the look

[@duyphan4617]

it's actually Black Convoy true color. THe hasbro color is just a variant of it.

[@aidansedelnick4443]

The translucent pink/magenta is actually the original Japanese deco of RID Scourge

Same, I couldn't stand G1 Bruticus since to me their accents in the G1 cartoon are so annoying.

[@LiamDyC]

Especially since this series was affected by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001

[@TheJourneyman03]

Was not going to get the G2 prime because I was not a fan of the color design, but this Scourge repaint makes every detail of the mold pop. This is a must-have.

[@crossover1015]

With this multiversal toyline there’s so much we can get. If Legacy Menasor sells well we can get the other combiners. And if we get the Combaticons in this new line then Hasbro can repaint them to make the Commandos. And RID Optimus and Ultra Magnus would be a great Haslab project: Optimus would come with all his fire engine parts so he can combine into his super mode and he can combine with Magnus to become Omega Prime. So much we can get, keep it coming Hasbro you’re doing great! 👍🏻👍🏻

with them making a new Menasor, I hope we'll be getting a new Defensor too.

[@crossover1015]

[@austinung4710]

"As multiverse as it gets" Literally looks like nothing to the original design in terms of paint choices

[@TheRisingStorm316]

I did use Siege Ultra Magnus and Siege Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime to make a fan-made version of Omega Prime, and it kinda works.

[@juliegrine2875]

You predicted it

[@kobaltblueknight]

It does make me wonder if we might at some point get updated versions of other characters from that RID cartoon? The Fire Convoy Optimus Prime and Angsty Magnus would be great, especially if they combine. Not to mention a new mold for that show's Megatron

[@BushidoBrownSama]

Maybe a remold of Legacy Motormaster into RID Prime?

[@kobaltblueknight]

@@BushidoBrownSama It would be a kind of heavy remold, going from a cabover semi trailer to a firetruck cab; but possible. Basically be a new mold at that point, but with shared engineering. And the trailer would be replaced with the back of the firetruck, breaking down into the armor pieces for super mode.

[@brycethomas4290]

I would love a modern RID build team to have a newer landfill since he's one of my favorite combiner. Especially since I'm always scared to mess with mine in fear that something will break

[@brotquel1592]

With all due respect for G2 fans, Scourge absolutely slays! G2 Laser Prime, being red and black, always struck me as someone who didn't know what did he want to be: Optimus or Nemesis while Scourge... Scourge really wears the "Nemesis Prime" tag and elevates it to a form of art!

[@elijahhaynes216]

Honestly, I view Laser Optimus as being because of what happens when he becomes Nemesis Prime. I think that after he has been touched by that darkness of the Matrix of Chaos/Dark Spark/etc that the Matrix of Leadership will not enter his body again. Thus, Optimus is left in an in-between state. He has the leadership ability and wisdom of his normal self, but the brutality and fighting strength of his Nemesis self.

[@fduranthesee]

@@elijahhaynes216 AKA Movieverse Optimus

[@elijahhaynes216]

@@fduranthesee No, cause last I checked Optimus didn’t have the Matrix of Chaos before he became prime.

True, even though both G2 Laser Prime and Scourge to me look alot cooler than G1 Optimus after all XD

[@gracinnall9041]

Which is why i get it I’d use it in my story as g2 laser nemesis prime

[@daosxion776]

Scourge was my favorite of the decepitcons in the Robots in Disguise series growing up, so it's awesome to see a reimagining of his old model which i still have somewhere.

[@myriadmediamusings]

Been seeing some wild and varied reactions to this one. I guess it ultimately depends on whether or not you saw RiD Scourge as his own entitiy or just as another Nemesis Prime.

[@plantainsame2049]

I know nothing about robots in Disguise but personally I prefer this guy to the other Nemesis Prime that came out in Kingdom due to the simple fact that he looks significantly different compared to earthrise Prime. I think he looks better next to Galvatron in contrast to Optimus and Megatron. Even though I never seen it and have no plans to the Netflix show does have my favorite origin for Nemesis Prime I like it when the evil version of the main character is just the main character but evil and robot Satan is the perfect way to make Optimus Prime Evil

[@MrFedoraFilm]

His purpose, to serve Megatron. His desire, to destroy Megatron's enemies,. His mission, to lead the Decepticons to victory. There is no denying on who this is. Returning after so long for the Legacy Velocitron subline, gaze upon... Black Convoy aka RID 2001 Scourge! Love how this looks. The black/grays/blue teal and metallic transparent pink colors really pops. He also has the G2 Autobot insignia flipped upside down. And the comparison with G2 Optimus Prime, it's like he's looking into a evil mirror of himself that has a life of its own. Black Convoy is on my get list. -I swear, I can hear the Mad Max Fury Road theme song while he's in truck mode. That's how badass he looks. Hope we get a third use of this G2 Optimus Prime mold, repainted as Toxitron.

[@HelenaSan425]

The black looks great on him and it fits the design well great review primevsprime!

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Thanks so much!

[@jdpragmatic8644]

“G2 Laser Nemesis” Sounds cooler I just got Laser Optimus last week, now I’m going to have to get this one as well

[@DerpyDude777]

Finally realizing RID Scourage was made and that I never got him but I really wanted him... This mold was definitely designed for him, perfectly at that!

[@Daltinian95]

I'm really loving how this turned out though I would prefer if they had gone with the gray and black on the chest and shoulders like the original scourge and Black Convoy. That's really my only complaint I love the pinstriping on the hood of the truck and on the rear fenders. I just really hope that we can get a toxatron now based on the old canceled universe 2003 one. Would really be cool to get a Japanese G2 Ultra Magnus from this as well.

[@crumplezone4286]

I was thinking that looked off as well

[@DragoonMS]

G2 Magnus may not happen, considering that they're using the Kingdom mold as Delta Magnus with a lame head swap for Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus (when SG Magnus is supposed to be a repaint of G2 Laser Optimus/RiD01 Scourge with a different head).

[@Autocon609]

@@DragoonMS SG Magnus has two heads included. A Diaclone recolor of the G1 head (same colors as SG) and the Skeletor face.

[@crumplezone4286]

I’m probably going to do a video on why they did that a theory at least

[@Nediablo]

Same! It's the one thing I think looks a bit draft! Saying that though, having looked at my G2 Legacy Prime, it would be pretty easy to paint those bits black if you wanted 👍👍 Sadly passing on this one for one reason only, I don't have the space but if I did, I'd get him in a heart beat! And I know this is unlikely, but a new Big Convoy would be the nuts!

[@rodakscreens]

Held off on G2 Prime because Velocitron Scourge listings leaked about a year in advance, and it looks like my patience has been rewarded! Hoping to see the rest of the Velocitron lineup soon!

[@PlatinumKnight-je3vy]

Tick off Cybertron Override and RID (2001) Scourge off the list! Next up Cosmo, Blurr (hopefully Armada), Clampdown, Roadrocket, Burnout and Hauler!

[@GeekCreek]

I've never been a fan of Nemesis Prime or Scourge or whatever, but you've sold me on this figure. I love your videos; you are thorough and enthusiastic but also clear-eyed about a given figure's faults without being tiresomely, theatrically cynical. Keep up the great work!

[@UnnamedSeeker]

Original RiD Scourge also had awesome lightpiping that lit up in pretty much any lighting conditions. Rally added to the sinister looks. Though it is funny that while this figure adds much needed wrist and foot articulation to the joints original one had, shoulders are quite a downgrade.

[@jasongoodman3495]

I still have mine i love it

[@DetectiveBarricade]

Not that much of a downgrade considering the shoulders were limited to protect the (non-existent) wires. (Laser Prime had a light up feature to light the sword and gun, but the electronics were gutted for Scourge)

[@UnnamedSeeker]

@@DetectiveBarricade true, they were limited to a similar degree. But stationary shoulder pilons are much more of a hindrance for the sword, especially with wrists now jointed, compared to ones that move d with the arm and got out of the way.

[@Kaizer617]

Well.... I saw this coming. Leave it to Hasbro to release a pretty awesome Prime figure, then give it a sexy black repaint! Also, I love how they included his signature upside-down G2 Autobot symbols! That awesome!

To be honest, a lot of folks probably knew that was coming when word of the Velocitron series releases got leaked. (Black Convoy, G2 Road Rocket, etc.)

[@drexsonaljames8345]

Bro I was blessed to find him today at Ross for $17... such an awesome action figure

[@boobs_n_bots]

I think his clear plastic color does for him as the red flames do for Optimus. IE gives pop to the cab. I could see ToyHax making teal cab hood flames for Nemesis & brighter color windows for Optimus. As is they both pop in their own ways.

[@angusmcnay5449]

Oh so THIS gets the right logo, g2 bot upside down, but laser still suffers the g1 bot logo. I see.

I bought this as my son first transformer I got it out of a whim saw it thought it was Optimus prime later figured out it wasn’t checked this video out and I’m so glad I got him. My son was very happy

[@crimsondynamo615]

I was on the fence of getting the Legacy Optimus, because I was content with the Earthrise Optimus, but seeing they’ve done a Scourge sold me on picking up this piece. Scourge really rocks that design.

[@plantainsame2049]

I literally know nothing about robots in Disguise but I think this figure is better then the kingdom Nemesis Prime due to the simple fact that it looks different enough from earthrise Optimus Prime. Say what you want about Netflix but I do think they have the best origin for a Nemesis Prime character

Honestly if the shoulders weren't pink and were instead just black, or gun metal grey, or silver I would absolutely LOVE this figure

[@zeoman45]

You can actually fix the eyes on G2 Prime. The back panel of his head is cast in translucent blue. You can use rubbing alcohol, or nail polish remover and give him his light piping back.

[@BrendanSith1997]

Maybe.

[@novermbergamer4787]

I m gonna watch this all day, until i get this guy, awesome pvp.

[@jamescm38]

I have a funny feeling they’ll release a generations legacy G2 prime with more G2 color scheme, yellow light piping and Stickers to mimic the exact G2 style (trailer)

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

NGL, Legacy is really putting out some amazing character renditions. With the original RID mold, and that deluxe variation of Laser Prime minus the trailer in my collection from years back this is probably the best take on this entire design. As good as the mold is for Optimus here, it is absolutely stunning in every respect as Scourge. Love that not only did he get the proper teal highlights, but also has impressive light piping. Miss the chrome on the original trailer, however the scaled away weapons, and removal of the original air blast weapons make for a less convoluted mess of a battle station Which for the most part remained in trailer mode anyway. Sword looks fantastic and about as accurate as the original, though the combined shield attached is subjectively a miss for me as it looks like one of those piecemeal Energon weapons that usually came with the smaller scouts. Guess I'll see if I can hunt this one down as well, and keep the original in truck mode, as the articulation/stability/design is so much better/dynamic than any before it.

[@muffinknight8101]

This velocitron stuff is so fucking cool

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Agreed! Shaping up to be better than the mainline!

[@Papai_Pai]

This mould was built for him every inch of him including his back cable makes him look like he jumped straight out of robots in Disguise

[@Peshi80]

Grabbed mine yesterday and I love'em!

[@battleupsaber462]

this release is a disappointment to me. There's way too much black in the chest and shoulder areas. It's missing the grey and teal accents that the original RID Scourge had that helped to break up the deco. It's a small difference but vastly changes the character's aesthetic and appearance.

[@EagleBot13]

completely agree

[@yellowvegtables454]

It looks badass but it strays too far away from the original figure.

[@puremisanthropia]

I agree, its highly inaccurate and that unpainted translucent red on the shoulders is just... meh.

[@AnimalTTC]

I don't hate it but as someone who loves RID Scourge this is a disappointment. Its that pink really kills it for me. I would have perferred a deeper red overall or at least a teal for the rockets. My first thought was "well toyhax can save the chest.." followed by a quick realization that doesnt help the rocket pack bleed through. And why the lack of paint on the matrix? Just stopped at the "handles"... Most anticipated reveal and it just stumbles across the finish line.

[@AtariChann]

There are too much Shiny Sliver on Robot mode. And skin color should be darker gray instead When I saw the preview pic of Black Convoy, I was planned to buy the Chocomint color paint for it . Glad I haven't buy it too soon.
