Honestly, it's just a breath of fresh air when they do G1 characters that no other 3rd party or official company has already made several of. It was hell for me just to narrow down which 3rd party Dinobots to get.
RID was the series on TV when I was a little kid (I think I was 3 at the time) and as such is responsible for starting my love for Transformers. It's nice to see people paying respects to that show via new figures, like this and Takara Unite Warriors' Baldigas (clearly "Ruination" from RID)
I just realized that Scourge's transformation is literally stand the truck upwards and then shift some parts and then his robot mode is revealed. His transformation is so very simple yet the aesthetic of his robot mode is one of the most badass looking ones.
@Autobot Sideswipe Either you misread my comment or didn't get my point. First of all, I recently watched The Decepticons approximately two days ago and I know exactly what happened. Second, I made a mistake. I typed "RID Scourge looks more like RID Optimus Prime that RID Optimus Prime does!" and that wasn't correct. It was supposed to be "RID Scourge looks more like Optimus Prime that RID Optimus Prime does!". RID Scourge looked more like G1 Optimus Prime that RID Optimus Prime did.
In Japan, it was originally just another Black Convoy, with this one being a black variant of Laser Optimus. RID, is the first cartoon to bring a black convoy in as a character in its own right. Since then every F show has tried to have a Nemesis Prime somewhere in it.
I'll only get this guy if they make a RID Ruination the size of titan class Devastator. If we also get an RID Gigatron/Megatron from these guys that's either around Scourge's size if not a little bigger that would be perfect!
Jarmo Verriet Oh I know, I've already pre-ordered that. The only problem is it would be out of scale with this 3rd party version of RID Scourge, that's why I brought up them making a titan class version of Ruination. At least the original RID Scourge will scale nicely with Takara's version of Baldigus/Ruination, I'll just have to hold off on this nicer looking version of Scourge because I really don't like my collection being out of scale.
I love Laser Prime, it was one of THE Optimus that I had as a kid. I always loved him, and seeing how he never had that form in any cartoon saddens me. Nowadays because of Scourge, everyone associates this "truck" version with him and not Optimus... Wich it wouldn't be as bad if this character wasn't always an exclusive of somekind
Ive just started a group channel that includes a member doing toy reviews, and I've started watching reviews to become familiar with them and had NO IDEA it was so common to show the box! What a nice touch!
This is a much easier transformation then yesterday's video, that transformation was very stressful, it stressed my brain out, and I was just watching it.
You know, if you get the trailer for this guy, the toyhax reprolabels for the trailer, and BadCube's Captain Huffy, you could recreate the M.A.S.K. Outlaw vehicle pretty effectively.
I love the look of this toy, I've always loved this colour palette and design. Although I do wish the head was a bit bulkier, like the original toy one, it would make it a bit more accurate and it would set it apart from MP-10 a tad more. But that's a minor nit pick, it's still a great toy :)
The only reason I'm skipping Scourge here is because there is a G2 Laser Optimus version of this guy coming out later (in May I think), complete with an Ion Blaster and Matrix! Although they did go with an Ion Blaster instead of the double barreled gun that Laser Optimus had, which is odd, but I digress...
I have one other nit-pick about my copy of him as well: I really wish that the had a separate chromed-out grill and bumper in order to match up with the other chrome bits. There is also so much room in the hood and cab, that I would have loved a light-up gimmick for his lights.
okay, if we arent able to open the chest so why are the "not openable" chest pieces uneven? the left side is higher than the other, usually indicating they can be moved and are loose... THE TEASE IS REAL!
Good review. I probably won't pick up the figure myself, but the figure does look cool. I kinda wish this guy had the engineering if the RTS Deluxe Laser Prime.
Do you think their Armada Optimus will be an extensive retool of this guy, or just a new but similar mold? I mean, Armada and G2 Laser Prime share most of their transformation engineering, with the real chest underneath both trucks, the nose of which splits in half to form the shoulders and all. Except Armada Prime's arms form the smokestacks and his grill is a separate part that accordions down to become the front of his chestplate...
it just looks like they took Scourge from R.I.D. added paint details and more articulation. It's still badass and would go great with generations Skybite and Takaras Baldigus/ r.i.d.s Ruination.
I would like to see this company make the decepticon team and how they will turn out. More importantly how the company would make the team so they can combine into ruination.
Hasbro made a huge mistake in not making a tie-in cartoon for the new molds they released in G2. Imagine an early 90s G2 cartoon with tank Megatron and laser Prime.
Personally I feel that Ultra Maxmux was quite over-engineered, and this one is really simple. But maybe it is just too simple to be a Masterpiece transformer. To me, it still looks too "truck like" in robot mode to fully pull off a realistic robotic mode.
The aesthetic in robot mode isn't supposed to look realistic. If you want that, then try the upcoming Masterpiece Movie Series figures. The figure reviewed here is based on him: tfwiki.net/wiki/Scourge_(RID)
Im 14 i think i can still use that it says ages 15 and up i think i have common sense to not put a small piece in my mouth and not choke to death on it
Completely different character reusing a name from an older series. In Japan he was Black Convoy, created by accidentally scanning a tanker truck and Optimus Prime (Fire Convoy) at the same time.
this ones ok... I like the looks of the updated ones... but the original is still the best. easy transformation good looks and sexy useful trailer... stands the test of time
I really like how third parties are making Masterpiece-scale figures from other lines than G1.
slasher1113 Yeah I really enjoyed g creation's ultra maxmus
Derek Dye I just bought him. How long did it take yours to come in?
Not too long.

Takara is official so even official sources are paying homage!
I just realized that Scourge's transformation is literally stand the truck upwards and then shift some parts and then his robot mode is revealed. His transformation is so very simple yet the aesthetic of his robot mode is one of the most badass looking ones.
I like simple transformations with a good looking robot mode with good articulation
Holy crap I sounded so stupid back then
RID Scourge looks more like Optimus Prime that RID Optimus Prime does!
The Real Chapdala that's because in the show when megatron had a protoform(scourge) the protoform scanned the truck and optimus then

RID scourge is optimus primes I guess clone or copycat for optimus
The Real Chapdala To be fair the toy wasn't meant to be Optimus Prime in Japan.
In Japan, it was originally just another Black Convoy, with this one being a black variant of Laser Optimus. RID, is the first cartoon to bring a black convoy in as a character in its own right. Since then every F show has tried to have a Nemesis Prime somewhere in it.

I freaking love the color on this figure.
*no RID precious, scourge yelling his actions, or saying NO*
Still a good end skit and review.
Need this
I never thought to compare him to Super Fire Convoy. What a great idea!
"evil truck of murder death" XD your awesome emgo
Emgo I've been binge watching your videos, getting blue balls looking at figures I can't afford, but worth it because you are so entertaining :)
This is a much easier transformation then yesterday's video, that transformation was very stressful, it stressed my brain out, and I was just watching it.
TheTrueMorse64 yeah, and for this 1 he didn't have to say "untab" a billion times
TheTrueMorse64 the Idw prime?
A random Fox I don't remember, but there was one that he had to say untab a lot
I wish it came with a gas tank trailer.
Hopefully to complete the look they release an add-on.
NoScopeWave do I have to wait one year for a add on because that happens a lot.
my version archenemy chest can open and hold mp-10 matrix
They told me on Facebook, that they're working on making one.
So, what, another $100 for a trailer that should have been included in the first place? I call that ripping off the customers.
You know, if you get the trailer for this guy, the toyhax reprolabels for the trailer, and BadCube's Captain Huffy, you could recreate the M.A.S.K. Outlaw vehicle pretty effectively.

I wish there was a Fire Convoy to go with this guy
So this is the first and kinda only MP from RID 2000-2001?
The only reason I'm skipping Scourge here is because there is a G2 Laser Optimus version of this guy coming out later (in May I think), complete with an Ion Blaster and Matrix! Although they did go with an Ion Blaster instead of the double barreled gun that Laser Optimus had, which is odd, but I digress...
they actually remolded this figure in the g2 laser prime colors scheme and it looks really cool
Megatron:let's go get ice cream. Me:Icecream ICECREEAAAAAAAAMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want a movie version Prime deco so bad I actually like the flames.
Now Fans Hobby needs to make a RID Prime to go with this Scourge.
Megatron and Scourge: an everlasting friendship.
I have one other nit-pick about my copy of him as well: I really wish that the had a separate chromed-out grill and bumper in order to match up with the other chrome bits. There is also so much room in the hood and cab, that I would have loved a light-up gimmick for his lights.
After handling Archenemy and the Wei Jiang MPP10, MPP10b and M01, my MP-10 is starting to feel cheap in comparison.
If you still have him, EmGo, you should have compared RID Optimus with Fans Hobby Archenemy...
He did, that was his last comparison. He just didn't show RID Optimus without his extra armor and such.
They should make a figure for Omega Prime one day.
okay, if we arent able to open the chest so why are the "not openable" chest pieces uneven? the left side is higher than the other, usually indicating they can be moved and are loose... THE TEASE IS REAL!
Good review. I probably won't pick up the figure myself, but the figure does look cool. I kinda wish this guy had the engineering if the RTS Deluxe Laser Prime.

Nice review of nemesis prime-I mean black convoy-I mean scourge
holy shit that figure looks awesome!
You forgot the most important part! The Card!!!!!!
Love. Love. Love this figure. I was hoping you would do a review on him. Completely agree. I am bummed that the chest does not open.
The truck he is based on have ramps that are not moveable hanging off the back of the truck
it just looks like they took Scourge from R.I.D. added paint details and more articulation. It's still badass and would go great with generations Skybite and Takaras Baldigus/ r.i.d.s Ruination.
Can't wait to get mine. He does need a gun and his trailer though.
Nice Step Brothers reference
it would be hilarious if they started arguing about burritos and pizza bagels and then Megatron tells Scourge hes a stupid Prime copy
hey emgo did you know i been watching your channel will i was a kid and i love your channel
My reaction to the skit: O.O...What the hell just happened?
Ice cream! Which came first as a concept Scourge or Nemesis Prime?
gmon78 no, the egg.
I would like to see this company make the decepticon team and how they will turn out. More importantly how the company would make the team so they can combine into ruination.
Like this review. Keep up the great work
yes. that's how best friends can be bought together by menny things Especially ICE CREAM! 😃
EmGo, was there any reason you never got the Gunfighter II repaint/retool? Just curious. I love it.
didn't want it.
Weird how Laser Optimus design is not that well known. I mean, its so perfect to me
Hasbro made a huge mistake in not making a tie-in cartoon for the new molds they released in G2. Imagine an early 90s G2 cartoon with tank Megatron and laser Prime.
FRIENDS FOREVER
Friend Ship is formed by Hachured
I'm not going to get this figure, but he looks great. I wonder how he'd scale with Wei Jiang's MPP10 upscaled KO Optimus?
Will they ever make a trailer for him..???
Personally I feel that Ultra Maxmux was quite over-engineered, and this one is really simple. But maybe it is just too simple to be a Masterpiece transformer. To me, it still looks too "truck like" in robot mode to fully pull off a realistic robotic mode.

It's based off of the source material
cool end happy Valentine's day
nice new table
You just now noticed?
first thing I noticed when I opened this guy was the strong chemical smell it had, great figure tho.
I wonder if Fans hobby Will do a RID Optimus
I was waiting for this
and the pile of boxes beside the table gets bigger and bigger lol
Love RiD Prime mold!
Truck reminds me of tfp prime
Still one of my favorite figures...
Awesome review, Emgo. Just wondering, how much is this guy? I might pick him up
It looks so much like my old toy of this!
Hi Emgo, REALLY weird question but did your figure stink of weed when you took it out of the box? Just bought mine brand new and it stinks!
I'm guessing archenemy didn't come with his tanker trailer? I wonder if you can buy his trailer separately?
yes, it was released separately
Im 14 i think i can still use that it says ages 15 and up i think i have common sense to not put a small piece in my mouth and not choke to death on it
Prime has been akumatized! We need Ladybee!
Sorry not sorry.
I don't know if it's just me, I just wanna see a series of megatron and scourge together.
Masterpiece RID toys? Sign me up!
Ikr? Just imagine if we get masterpiece Armada toys from this company too, those bricks could definitely use a good update.
Chaotic Tyrant *cough* Energon Wing Saber *cough*
...'Scuzi?
Dat Bastard Oni Energon Wing Saber is like the definition of a brick. He can only wiggle his lower arms.
MP transtech pls we need those figures
It looks like a vehicle from M.A.S.K.
Scourge-SWORD OF FURY
oh this just looks beautiful. @_@ Just in time for valentines day, im in love.
Griffin gterra same
Sad Pacman!
Where You At, Bro?!
Is the T-plug cross compatible between companies?
He matches my table,lol.
not shown: a betrayed Shockwave
Emgo, did you have RID Megatron?
Honestly I think this figure was not needed becuase the original toy was very accurate but it is welcomed
RIP LASER OPTIMUS MOLD
Mascot needs a review
You should do cloud 9 quake blast or cloud 9 shockwave
would you say he rolls...... LIKE A DREAM
I never watched RID, but how the hell did scourge go from G1 design to this?
Completely different character reusing a name from an older series. In Japan he was Black Convoy, created by accidentally scanning a tanker truck and Optimus Prime (Fire Convoy) at the same time.
Like Mascot said Evil Prime Time.
Megatron and Scourge are best friends and Scourge is a awesome Masterpiece toy thank you for the video.
That ending tho XD
Who thinks RID Scourge needs a new Name Since there's Transbots' G1 Scourge...
His Third Party Name is not even Great...
Hey emgo this is the guy who was asking about which is better for my custom beast wars megatron can I have a link to Planet X Vulcan btw BIG FAN
I love swords where you can murder and death with (that's a joke btw I don't love murder and I don't love death, but I do love swords)
instructions say don't do it. i can literally hear all the knives and flathead screwdrivers prying it open
"evil prime time" lol
Murderdeath?
Seriously, Emgo?
this ones ok... I like the looks of the updated ones...
but the original is still the best. easy transformation good looks and sexy useful trailer... stands the test of time
He's got a few blind spots. Lol. He cant seea thing to his left or right in robot mode
He looks like if optimus prime and ultra magnum fused
you rule emgo
They should’ve masterpiece G2 Megatron
Hm. Scourge looks a lot more like Nemesis Prime than I remember.
@Ratchet Theres another character named Scourge
They should also make a masterpiece g2 laser Optimus prime
Frankie Prete they did and it's on tfsource
why did you change the table
