Hark The Herald!

The Story about the heralded Decepticon tracker, Scourge. The 1986 Transformers: The Movie introduced us to a wave of new characters, but few stood out quite like Scourge—the master tracker, Unicron’s herald, and low-key the most stylish of Transformers with his vampire-esque design and legendary mustache. But was he really just a mere reformat of Thundercracker? And how did he go from space surfboard to Matrix-wielding menace? In this story, I’ll explore Scourge’s journey from animation to toy shelves, his role in the comics, and his many reincarnations—including an evil truck and a three-headed dragon. If you’re a Scourge fan (or about to be), hit LIKE, leave a comment, and let’s celebrate one of Transformers’ most underrated villains!
