The Terrorcons' leader resembles the type of cybernetic beast that might emerge from a post-apocalyptic wasteland, with worn components that have seen better days. You know, like some sort of scrapyard Transformer. Apparently, the Terrorcons will go head-to-head against the Autobots for the prized Transwarp key. Scourge will be battling against Optimus Prime for sure!

The Mad Max Version of Transformers?

Leader 101 of the Hasbro Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Studio Series Scourge is an articulated 8.5-inch action figure of the commander of the Terrorcons, exhibiting his rusted junkyard appearance in all its glory. As with all cybernetic aliens in the franchise, it can transform into a vehicle, notably a semi-truck resembling Optimus Prime's robot mode, albeit with the same weathered and beaten appearance. Incredibly, the vehicle appears to be covered in layers of grease and soot, which, curiously enough, gives the figure a pretty cool appearance. According to the Hasbro Pulse webpage, the robot can change modes in 31 steps.

Terrorcons Are The New Decepticons?
