Board member frenzy_rumble has managed to take some new screen grabs from the 25 years of Transformers segment on the new Revenge of the Fallen Blu-ray. Among these are higher resolution images of Starscream, and a screen grab for a work in progress character named “The Plague.” Also seen on that image is concept art for Ransack.

But then that means he's not one of the generic protoforms. Which brings us back to the known-to-be-insectoid insecticon collective which eventually became Reedman.

maby hes an insectoid biped!
Chevluh
If it was just that there'd be no mention of combining. And "Plague" doesn't mean army or even high numbers outsidde of the insect context
mrfang2
he is a protofor, there are armies of them, hence the name!

I think it's just a Decepticon protoform. Called plague because there were so many of them at the end of the movie.

wow this is an old thread

It's not nice to bring back old threads like that

Well, may as well throw my two cents. To me the Plague, since it was a vehicle-less decepticon combiner, can only have been an iteration of the decepticon that was also known during development as the Swarm, the Hive, the Insecticon collective (seen there) and ended up becoming Reedman. The name would be a reference to the eighth plague of Egypt, the plague of locusts, a fitting name for an insecticon swarm.
The drawing's just a generic protoform because said decepticon only got its definitive role and look late in production.

i think that the plague was one of the decepticon protoforms that fell to earth

It's funny because i mentioned this to the Admin who posted the news article and linked to this topic. He put the story into one post, talking about Leader SS and Plague so now this topic is a mixed mess.

That's just a pre-production thing.
All transformer figures(And probably most toys.) look like that when they start out as prototypes.

Hmm. Does he *have* to be this shade of blue, or is that just pre-production?
DECEPTIKONBRAWL
hmmm…. under the plauge it says "no vehicle form only combined robot form.
so we know that he(or she) is a combiner.

I have the dvd and all the time they were holding and fiddling around with the prototype Leader Starscream I just wanted it, it looked really cool I can't wait till it comes out.
