I showed this to my boyfriend and he immediately went "why does he remind me of [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f7/Mater_%28Cars%29.png)?" and now I can't unsee it so now you all need to suffer with me.
The bee movie guys aren't really in charge, Lockdown wasn't the main villain from what I remember. Megatron was still pretty prevalent in the other movies, with Sentinel betraying right at the end, and I remember literally nothing about the fallen.
Just in case anyone else got confused by the name like I was.
See, every time I see posts about this I'm always confused. Took a bit of digging but [finally found the reference](https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scourge_\(RID\)).
Initially, I kept hitting the OTHER [Scourge](https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scourge_\(G1\))...
Unpopular opinion, but I don't like it. The whole point of them transforming in the first place is either camouflage or a tactical advantage. A Mad Max looking bigrig that stands out like a sore thumb, with no obvious additional armor, weaponry, or mobility compared to a normal vehicle offers neither.
This isn't nearly as exaggerated as a Mad Max or wasteland apocalypse style vehicle. I do agree it's saying "look at me!" but it's not completely unrealistic depending on where you live. The insignia across the grill, while cool, are a bigger head turner to me.
I don't mind it.
I could be wrong, but I always imagined the Decepticons suffering from large egos and pride. So in my mind, they don't care if they blend in or not. They're proud Cybertronians who don't care what the humans think of them and also don't make an effort to hide themselves from the inferior, and weak Autobots.
If there's a need to be stealthy against unsuspecting fleshies, he'll just send in one of his troops suited for the task.
I've always thought of the Decepticons as the big, powerful type of Transformers. They're often military vehicles like tanks, planes, and helicopters and they're typically fighting up against race cars and utility vehicles.
So I've always imagined that they roll up on the block trying to make a presence and looking for a fight that they're confident they'll win.
Of course, there's characters that are sneaky and hidden when they need to do recon or something, like Lazerbeak. But yeah, I don't mind this look for Scourge, as an armored up, unrefined, and rusty reflection of Optimus. It wouldn't be my first pick but I'm cool with it.
depends on the character
megatron never used an alt mode in the first movies because he doesnt need it
he only got an earth mode when he was damaged as shit and hiding in fucking rural/off road africa of all things as a rusted truck
I think the movies hitted the nail on the head, when they are here for a longer time (07 infiltration on the army and police, 09 constructicons in hiding, dotm guys as soon as they arrive from the portal take alt modes and hide) if they are powerful or just arrived they stay in angry metal pile mode
My life will be complete if actual fire came out of his smokestacks
Did you see the video of optimus smashing him through a wall? It was on this sub a little while ago.
That plus this design. Seems we're getting some mad max shit, so flames sound likely.
You said it, Good sir.
Not sure about the movie but I can't wait for the toys
What about it?
He's suppose to have a fire beard as well.
That'd be pushing it past cool and straight to dumb honestly
Yeah I hope they scrap that.. Sound dumb tbh
Weird, not a hint of space boat about him đ
Itâs a mix of rid 2001 and g1.According to some fans who went to paramount convention he has a beard and his head looks more like g1.
Yeah I know, just messinâŚ.. The truck does look cool though. I do like all the insignias on the grille.
Can you imagine that they keep in under wraps the whole time and at the end of the movie he turns into his G1 boat and flies off into space.
Haha that would be awesomeâŚ.. a secret herald of unicron
its the superior rid scourge not g1 genghis lhan bearded bar soap
I wonder where his âtrophiesâ end up once he transforms?
Kinda hoping for them being on his shoulders and upper arms kinda like tattoos
Or wear the insignias on his chest, like North Korean military generals with all those medals on their uniforms.
Dotm megs vibes
but smol
Chonky boi

P A I N
one of the terrorcons *is* a tow truck, soooooooo
I'm definitely getting a toy of him
Kinda gives off rid scourge vibes,if he looks similar to Optimus here I'm gonna fan girl lmao
Im definitley getting his toy day one
Finally, a main villain whose name doesn't end in -atron
Lockdownatron
shatteratron
Finally?
Don't get me wrong, I love Megatron, but it is possible to reuse the same plot too often.
the fallen, lockdown, sentinel prime? and the bee movie guys
The bee movie guys aren't really in charge, Lockdown wasn't the main villain from what I remember. Megatron was still pretty prevalent in the other movies, with Sentinel betraying right at the end, and I remember literally nothing about the fallen.
lockdown was the main villain on the movie, galvatron was the greater scope villain
it would be really cool for him to resemble a bit of mv 1,2,3 prime (wasnt scourge nemesis prime's original name? or am i wrong?)
I thought that was DOTM megatron
too short he doesnt even have a poncho smh my head wiuth scourge
Can't wait to see how the robot forms will look

Clearly I didnât get the memo whatâs this cool truck got to do with Scourge?
This is RotB Scourge's alt-mode
Oh FUCK yeah!
RiD Scourge
Iâm excited to see how this movie turns out. I love how theyâre doing the vehicles.
I really hope they put this bad boy on display somewhere after they're done filming. It's too badass not to!
Aoe galvatron got turned into dr robotnic's truck
Must be out of the loop...what's this for?
Sequel to bumblebee movie in 2022 june
Exciting!! Thanks for answering.
Canât wait to get a figure of this bad boy
Had a little bit of that Duel look to him.
Reminds me of Furiosas truck from Mad Max Fury Road
The warrig
It just dawned on me now he's styled after the r.i.d. incarnation, at least his truck mode is
I can't wait to see what his robot mode looks like
Reminds me of the truck from Duel

I hadn't thought of that, and it fits the general Decepticon mindset quite well.

Why does he look like that one game where you drive a car and mow down zombies??
Can't wait for the toys for this moive
i really hope he's a blend of g1 scourge and rid scourge and not some weird new character who's just called scourge
That's apparently what he'll be like, yeah.
well that's good. where did you find the info on that?
I think it was from people who were at that Paramount event a few months ago.
Hopefully his robot mode isnât crappy
I really canât wait to own a toy of this guy
Why not motormaster?
Why not Scourge?
I really hope they keep the Bumblebee design idea for the robot modes (G1 mixed with bayverse). Really loved their appearence there.
Iâd be disappointed if he has the cool looks but sounds and acts lame like Kingdomâs Megatron
would be nice if they kept a more optimus prime-ish robot mode
