FUNCTION: SWEEP LEADER
FIRST APPEARANCE: THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE # 1
"Desolation follows in my trail."
Profile: Scourge is the most fearsome and implacable hunter-destroyer created by Unicron from the wreckage of dead Decepticons. Scourge is leader of "The Sweeps," a specially created wolf pack of tracker-terminators designed by Unicron to hunt down and eradicate Autobots and their human allies.
Abilities: Scourge is possessed of scanning and locating equipment, which can detect machine or human presence even if it is as small as an amoeba in the ocean or a wind-up toy in the Sahara desert. And he is merciless and capable of using such weapons as acid rays, which dissolve his targets, laser blasters, disintegrator beams, and assorted demolition and fusion devices in eliminating his prey. He can transform to a scouring vehicle, a marauding automotive mode which handles any terrain and scans for "survivors."
Weaknesses: Scourge's only weakness is his arrogance.

** Got Scourge in December2015 from another local seller I found off of eBay along with Gnaw. Got him complete with the bot, his Disintegrator Ray, Laser Blaster and his instructions. There is a bit of sticker wear, but he is pretty nice otherwise.
Scourge fits in the situation that all movie Transformers do... They are cool, but at the same time I am not overly excited about them. I liked the movie, but there were many things about it I either did not like or did not fully embrace. the movie bots for one I felt were the first where Hasbro and Takara really started going away from realistic alt modes, which I am a huge fan of from the beginning Diaclone Transformers. If these guys were real, I would still definitely notice them if I saw them in the real world... Also, I was not a fan of Hasbro killing so many of the original characters to replace them with these guys... I admit most of my movie character pick ups for my collection are more to complete the collection than because I am that much of a fan of them... **
