After a low quality photo from earlier this month, we now have our first good look at Studio Series Leader Scourge from the upcoming movie, Transformers Rise of the Beasts. Images come from Sonic Bomber-Core over on Facebook.
These pics give us a much better look at the figure in his robot and truck modes as well as showing us his weaponry and a few poses.
Check it out and let us know what you think on the boards!
Update: Added additional photos.

I haven’t heard anything about that, but there is an upcoming G2 Grimlock that’s exclusive to somewhere (nobody knows where yet) and an SG Grimlock, presumably on Pulse. Maybe whoever posted that info confused it for one of them?

Ok. It's still a voyager.
I'm also buying it at retail the first chance I get. Because it's the coolest voyager we've had in years.

Reminder, you need to justify your decision to purchase or not purchase to anyone but yourself. If you buying cool, if you’re waiting for a sale also cool, if you’re skipping a figure, once again cool.

Not just big. Chunky. He's got ratchets everywhere even compared to Sludge.

These figures will be on sale, it’s not a surprise to anyone. Good move for those that are waiting for the sale and good move for those that preorder them right now.
People have different opinions, who cares?

I've said before I was gonna wait for this to go on clearance before buying, but if I have cash to burn and I just so happen to see him on shelf, I'll probably buy him on spot.
Gepard
And I really suspect he's going to shelfwarm hard; high price plus dull colors and mildly boring robot design doesn't suggest he'll be popular, even being the villain of the movie.

Hey man, that's just my opinion. I can voice mine just like you can yours.

BINGO! Being a little patient is in no ways being a hater.

Most of the live action stuff in this area peg warms for ages (while SS86 disappears fast). Heck, we still have Grindor at Walmart.

Not to mention thanks to JT prime we already know Scourge is getting re-packed 1-2 times in the coming waves. There will be plenty of him clogging the shelves for the whole year.
Dachande
I don't think I could ever bring myself to pay full retail for another wave 1 movie figure even if I was still into the movie stuff. Wave one is always overstocked everywhere, and considering how Target and GameStop like to run specials to move product, these will be easy to find. If patient enough, for much less than retail.

Who the h3ll is stopping you? Buy 20 of'em if you want. Then buy a Space Bridge in Brooklyn after that.
At the end of the day, you're the one hating on other people's opinions.

I feel like this guy is in the same field as SS86 Ironhide,he's definitely not a voyager but he really doesn't get the value of a Leader

Feels good to have the G1 Dinobots in a proper size.
Agreed that being said at least he's tall and not a Voyager-sized bot.
Definitely which is why a little after Sludge got revealed I tried to track down finally a 86 Slug/Slag (he was sold out on BBTS and Amazon) and luckily found one for a little over retail but it was worth it cause I just knew when the other 2 comes out, good luck finding them for close to retail. Hopefully they get reissued in 2024 when we get Swoop.

Grimlock more so than Skyquake imo, he still feels like he isn't $20 more than a voyager. Of course naturally since the Dinobots seem worth it, they sell out instantly and get scalped so I don't get them.
I heard something about a grimlock re-issue, was that true?
Seanprime
Yup! I remember being caught off guard how big 86 Grimlock was when I first got it
TF Hot Rod
And then there are some that are Leaders that are big beefy bots with a bigger like the 86 Dinobots or Prime Skyquake.
Seanprime
I think leader class as a whole provides the least amount of value in the size classes. Some of them are in this weird spot where they are a leader and you can basically see why but them at the same time they don’t feel like $20 more than a voyager, going by U.S. prices of course
