BIRTHDAY BLOG PART THREE-CYBERTRON CYRO SCOURGE

This is the third figure that I received for my Birthday from kind friends and relatives who know of my collection.

This figure is from 2006. He is a Decepticon but at first he was neutral joined the Decepticons then ended up as an Autobot.
He is the leader of the Beast/Jungle Planet.
I don't think there was any fiction as Cyro Scourge but he did appear in the Cybertron Cartoon as normal Scourge.
In the cartoon as normal Scourge he was apprenticed to Backstop along with Snarl. The Beast planet was in chaos because of civil war. Scourge wanted to fight and restore order to the beast planet but Backstop believing that Fighting would make things worse and cause more chaos and destruction did not want this. Scourge went ahead anyway and joined the battle. he defeated all that apposed him and became leader of the beast Planet. He became a tyrant. Snarl became one of Scourges body guards to keep an eye on him for backstop. Overhaul went to beast planet looking for the Cyber Planet Key. He asked Scourge for the key but he refused telling that only the leader has the key and if you want it you will have to take it by force. They fought and Overhaul lost. Snarl intervened and stopped Scourge from destroying Overhaul. Overhaul knew he had to defeat Scourge somehow so he trained and to survive Scourges fire attacks he trained in a volcano  so he could become resilient to the heat. he went back and fought scourge again. He was now more powerful and able to withstand the fire but Snarl was attacked but Megatron. He had been hanging around the Beast planet checking things out. Overhaul went to help Snarl but while he was distracted Scourge knocked Overhaul down. As he was about to finish him the cyber planet key reformatted Overhaul into Leobreaker. He grabbed Snarl and rescued him form Megatron. When Optimus prime turned up he had many fights over the Cyber Planet key with Scourge eventually Optimus managed to win. Optimus however let Scourge still be the leader but to stop being a tyrant.


BIO; Long exposure to the freezing waste of deep space has irreversibly mutated Scourge. No longer a flame-spewing monster consumed by his passions, he is now a creature of ice and cold. Calculating, cruel, and without mercy, he radiates a freezing aura that causes circuitry to short out, and renders Autobot alloys brittle and easily shattered. His breath, once a raging firestorm, is now a creeping cold that sneaks into joints and mechanisms, destroying them from within. The blade of is axe is a razor-sharp shard of supercooled hydrogen ice that leaves a deadly numbness wherever it strikes.

Beast Planet Cyber Key

He is a huge figure being Ultra class. The translucent plastic for his claws and axe bland is a nice touch. He has a really nice colour scheme. I think this is the best painted version of this mould.

He has a lights and sounds gimmick. His eyes, the inside of his mouth and brain light up when you press the button on his back.
When the Cyber key is not inserted he makes a roaring noise. When you use the key the extra dragon heads flip out and you get a transformation noise.
When you have the key in the slot and we press the button on the back it will make a laser firing noise.
Unfortunately the dragon head on my figure is prone to flipping up even when I don't use the key which can be annoying at times. The extra dragon heads have spring loaded jaws. the back of the heads have a lever which opens and shuts the mouth.
His tail becomes his axe in Robot mode. I don't have any problems with this axe other than size. The figure has no wrist articulation so is difficult to pose except down by his side.
In transformation his robot head can be hard to get out without long nails.
The wings are just for show as they are rather small and I can;'t remember him flying in the cartoon.
overall this is an excellent figure and if you like Dragon transformers then this is the figure to have. Just choose the version. This one or RID Bruticus which is garish colours
