Scourge's vehicle mode is a truck. This mode is pretty cool- black trucks with red windows have to be- but it's definitely missing something. Say, the trailer? Somehow, Scourge just doesn't look..right...in vehicle mode without his tanker trailer. And those stupid feet halves sticking up from the back of the truck don't help much either. :P  Also of note is that, even though Scourge has six "real" wheels, only four of them actually roll. The middle two are actually molded into the pieces behind them. However, this is necessary for the transformation, and at least they ARE real wheels, unlike on Basic Ultra Magnus and Basic Optimus Prime.
    Scourge's robot mode is also pretty nice (which pretty much singles him out as the only really good-looking Spychanger in robot mode). This mode is pretty dead-on accurate with the larger Super version, and the toy even has a similar transformation to the bigger version. His shoulders are a bit oversized, but it's not big deal. The paint detailing on this toy really shows through in this mode- teal detailing is everywhere in this mode, and loks really nice. It's amazing how much detail Hasbro managed to squeeze on such a small face. What really does hurt this mode, though, is pretty much the complete lack of articulation. The only parts that can really move are his arms at the elbows. His shoulders can also technically move, but this is a side effect of the transformation and merely makes him look like he's shrugging. As such, this really, REALLY limits Scourge's playability in this mode, and makes him...well...boring, despite his looks.
    Although Scourge has it in looks, he suffers quite a bit from a lack of articulation. Neat if you like to merely sit your TFs on a shelf, but it you like to play with them, I'd suggest the Super version over this one.
