Thanks to HK-TF’s Facebook page, we now have in-hand photos of Unite Warriors Grand Scourge. These photos were posted by David Ng, and really show off the awesomeness of this figure. Grand Scourge comes with two purple Ion Blasters, which can combine into one larger rifle, and the Matrix Breaker, (rumored to be so powerful that it can separate the link between an Autobot leader and their Matrix of Leadership) a reused sword from the Beast Hunters Ultimate Class Optimus Prime, and marks the sixth use of this mold.
Check out the pictures after the break and join in on the discussion.

I'll say it again:
I'll gladly whip out cash from my wallet if Makers replace that yellow with gold chrome.
Not really a chrome lover on an average day but that yellow doesn't cut it for me.

if you have a beast hunter sword you want to get rid of, i;d be more than happy to take it off your hands

Does anyone know who produces the rig/adapter piece that is holding blackjack vertically in the combined mode? With the PE backpack/waist piece you cannot mount blackjack like you used to.

I honestly think if they'd included drones like the Energon version had, it'd soften the blow a bit (90 freakin' bucks for a Voyager). Still, this guy's a premium exclusive so I guess that's why he's priced more like your average MP toy.

Bwa ha ha lmao

I'm in the same boat, I cancelled him and Battle Core Prime. Just Grand Scourge alone would run me $120 CDN before shipping, for a good looking figure that is really just OK. I can't do it. But I really, really want to.
He does look great though, I love that giant ass sword and the purple guns. I just can't justify that price, even if our dollar didn't suck right now. If it were $50 I'd be all in.

He's in at BBTS, mine is being processed. He comes with Decepticon and Unicron labels, so good news on that
Basilisk
He'd look pretty sweet with black redecos of the Stunticons.
Autobot Burnout
Oh, he doesn't come with limbs for the OP drones? Gotta say I'm slightly disapointed given how easily that could have been done (Pretty much just minor retools of the Defensor limbs – totally could get a Nosecone out of First Aid, just replace the hood kibble with a drill!) but I digress.

So, assuming Japanese Hobby shops bought straight from eHobby I wouldn't expect to see it there cheaper than $60, probably a bit more with mark up.
The HLJ price looks very reasonable by that standard for a non Japan resident.

How much is it locally?
Basilisk
He looks amazing with the Stunticons I kinda wish he had his own team too.

I'm in Asia- so no issues for me getting him off my local hobby shop.
Johntimus Prime
Yeah, he's gonna run you the typical high end Takara exclusive price no matter what because he ain't coming here.
It's kind of weird and awesome that they did a deco based on a Japan only repaint of Energon Prime, but clever since he can combine
And this toy looks way better than the Energon mold; he doesn't have that Energon gut issue!

Takaratomy special, NO release in the US.

wow, shame I cancelled my order. Now wanting it badly.

Stores are getting him? Hoping BBTS gets their stock in this week.
