It's happened with Tomahawk, Terradive, Darkmount to Skullgrin, Lockdown to Axor, Bumblebee to Cliffjumper, and Thunderwing to Black Shadow (Cross your fingers), so why stop now? Instructions for both upcoming Generations figures, Kup and Scourge, have landed on Hasbro.com. Seibertron.com member El Duque notifies us that their heads certainly do not look like either Kup or Scourge, so we can only assume that these instructions tell a tale of a future remold. Check them out below!

I hate to say it, but for some reason the not-Kup head reminds me of Hot Shot.

Fools!
It's Orion Pax!
As for not-Scourge, I don't know. Leozack, I guess. Go Leozack.

Almost reminds me of Armada Smokescreen/Hoist. I could also see Gears in that head... and that Orion Pax (or Optronix?) guess could be interesting, as well.

I'll thrown my hat in with the Senator Ratbat crowd... but the Kup remold's too vague to make an informed opinion on, it really looks like it could be just about anyone (well anyone with a round-ish head)

I don't get a massive Gears or Orion Pax vibe from the Kup remould. Any other ideas? Is there a Micromaster pickup truck somewhere?

kinda weird that Scourge would get a repaint/remold considering most people will get more than 1 Scourge so they can have sweeps as well
ill agree with everyone else that Kups might very well be Orion Pax considering the original Kup was repainted as an exclusive Orion...wait for it people we'll get wheelie repainted into Dion lol

I can get behind that for Orion Pax. Scourge does resemble Leozack which is a shame because the Botcon figure looks effing amazing in those colors. Skyquake too. I wouldn't mind Ratbat or someone else. LioKaiser maybe?

Some of these figues shouldn't be on a Classics "redundancy" list. PCC Huffer doesn't replace BotCon Huffer for the "Classics" shelf. Power Core Combiners is its own continutiy, which now seems to actually be part of the extended live action movie continutiy. Similarly, Banzaitron is technically a movie figure.
BotCon Ironhide and Ratchet were released two years before "Classics" even existed, are totally outclassed by their Universe 2.0 incarnations, especially in robot mode.
BotCon Kup is really a much younger, alternate history version of Kup, whereas the Generations figure is obviously the choice for the character we all know and love from G1 in terms of alt mode and his grizzled old-man face.
With Springer, we get two distinct figures representing one each of his triple changer alt modes from G1.
BotCon Scourge was great for a time, but such an important character really does deserve his own "Classics" mold instead of a repaint and head swap of another character from another continuity's toyline.
BotCon Thrust and Dirge are still unique from their Generations Counterparts. Thrust has different tooling between the two versions, and BotCon Dirge is just a Ramjet repaint, while Generages Dirge has all new wing moldings.
So, that really leaves Leozack, but all signs are pointing towards the Generations Scourge repaint/remold being "Senator" Ratbat instead.
I don't think Hasbro is really stepping on FunPub's toes at all with its recent releases.

Whilst I agree with many of Wolfman Jake's comments, I'd say that, continuity be damned, PCC Huffer is a great classics Huffer and quite G1 toy-accurate (visor, chest, silver arms etc.). As far as Botcon Ironhide & Ratchet are concerned, they may be less accurate to the G1 cartoon models but the Tow-line mould makes a fantastic (and, undoubtedly, intentional) update to the original Ironhide/Ratchet toy.
On topic:
Leozack = hope not, not the right mould, Botcon version is amazing and, well, who wants a blue re-use of a blue mould?
Gears = meh, though a Swerve could be cool (better colours IMO), the head is more Gears-like though.
Senator Ratbat = would be EPIC
Orion Pax = with Black Shadow hopefully on the way, this could actually happen - who'd have thought, eh?

For the most part I agree.
*Ironhide and Ratchet replace a worse mold and mediocre Botcon head molds. Upgrade IMO.
*Springer is redundant only because of Fansproject to me. The Hasbro offerings were just nothing interesting for my money.
*Thrust and Dirge, yeah. I'll concede here. The new ones are pretty near perfect though and I gladly replaced my Botcon versions with them.
*Huffer is still the most "Classic" version we've gotten. That's despite my fondness for the PCC 2 packs.
*Kup, he was a stand-in for me at best until we got something nicer. We are now and I'm still unsure whether or not to box him away since he fits a subsect of my "Classic" display.
*Scourge, Kinda the same deal as Kup for me. Except I definately want to keep them out. Maybe I can just group the historical segment of that years set together and display it all.
*Banzaitron, IMO, Botcon version wins. No contest. I love the colors on the ROTF mold but he fits nowhere in a "Classic" display. Since I already own Bludgeon and my movie figures are few, he'd be very redundant.
*Leozack, I love the Energon Starscream mold in the colors used for both figures. Skyquake SHOULD be a God damn disaster but it works. I'm really hoping we get something a little more fresh with that one. The Generations Scourge mold looks very interesting.

The exclucive toys aren't made worthless just because there's a more regular release put out.
As for the teo new heads ... Ratbat does nothing for me. It's a tape or bust for the tape guys in my book. Having got the G1 reissues, I have a proper Ratbat. The other rings no bells.

The new Kup head could easily be two things -
Gears (with the lamp on the side for his Infrared ability)
Trailbreaker (with the lamp on the side similar to the G1 cartoon and toy)
For the sake of those that want a complete 1984 cast, I hope its Trailbreaker. Gears was a minibot, and hopefully they can squeeze him out in Legends or something.

Kup is obviously Gears... wihich is really disappointing. I was hoping he'd be a scout, although the fielrst time I saw kups robot mode I thought the chest looked like Gears chest in the old comics.
Scourge remould looks like Divebomb to me, but it does look a lot like Ratbat too. I can see Leozak but I can almost see someone else too...

I didn't say they were worthless, just redundant. As my signature says, I wouldn't mind owning the BC 2009 Scourge and Sweeps, even though Generations Scourge is the superior/cheaper figure. I guess I'd just like the two entities to try to avoid doing the same characters to allow for a more diverse offering year after year.
Even if this is Senator Ratbat rather than Leozack, that still makes the Target Exclusive Ratbat (Cybertron Sideways repaint) redundant. While this version may turn out to be the superior version of "Senator Ratbat", I'd rather just have one and had Hasbro use the repaint of Scourge for somebody else. Perhaps G2 Falcon or an American version of G1 Strafe or even G1 Jumpstarter Topspin would have been a better use of the remold? I'm sure there are other, better choices

By the way, there is a better pic of not-Kup's head if you zoom in on the instructions - you can see he does actually have a mouth.
Here we go:
I'm not entirely convinced it's Gears, but it would make sense as Hasbro seems to be doing all the 1984 lineup. And they may have taken liberties with his head since the G1 head is not going to look great on the Kup body.
Maybe it is a half-Gears-half-Swerve headsculpt. I see a few possible Swerve elements.
Someone said Crosshairs, which would work pretty decently with the body, and the head is close-ish:

Gonna Toss my pennies into this mix. So far, I'm guessing Gears and Leozack. If hasbro is willing to possibly do a Blackshadow (unconfirmred still) then I don't see why they wouldn't do a Leozack. If the character ends up being Ratbat, I won't complain.
As for the possible extras with Botcon and Hasbro's release of Scourge and Leazack:
For me, Scourge is himself and he will have all kinds of sweep clones. With this release, I'll have him, my Botcon, and my 2 Titaniums to have a a troop build army. Botcon Scourge's facial hair is grey so he will be he oldest, and the other Botcon sweeps will be his main inner circle, and the newer additions, will be generics.
Leozack...hey, looks like Botcon one becomes...Lyzack

That would be cool, but it REALLY looks like Leozak. Not that it would stop them, but they already released Ratbat as a Sideways repaint in the comic two pack with Springer.

That can still be a straight repaint as Alpha Trion at some stage though...
If the remould is Ratbat, I'd love for FunPub to repaint it as the Batman-styled SG Ratbat. It'd not only look great, but it'd pretty much be a Batman transformer too. What's not to love about that...?

Maybe Scourge will be Bombburst.

Call me crazy, but before reading all the Leozack/Ratbat comments the first vibe I got off of not-Scourge was Devcon. Maybe just wishful thinking.

Ok, for whats it's worth I'm actually seeing G1-Skids on the not-Kup sheet, especially after the front-on close up posted on the previous page.
As for not-Scourge, the only thing I can see (for some odd reason) when I look, is Jaruga, but since he wasn't a jet it's highly unlikely!!

Maybe Kupp's remold is Micromaster Big Hauler?
http://www.tfu.info/1990/Autobot/BigHau ... hauler.htm
As for it being Skids... I dunno. (G1) Skids has more of a square head, with almost horns on the side. His head more resembles G1 Sideswipe than what we're seeing there.

Instructions for both upcoming Generations figures, Kup and Scourge, have landed on Hasbro.com. Seibertron.com member El Duque notifies us that their heads certainly do not look like either Kup or Scourge, so we can only assume that these instructions tell a tale of a future remold. Check them out below!
Scourge
forgot to ass lugnut to the list
Kup
In the future, if your Kup and Scourge do not come with instructions, be sure to bookmark the links too!

I'm thinking it's definitely Senator Ratbat for Scourge and it would make a lot of sense for Kup's remold to be Orion Pax. Kup's original figure was repainted into Orion and the head does look pretty similar in my opinion. I hope they both get new weapons to fit better with their characters as well.

I saw those and thought Slugslinger and Hotshot. I do like some of the other suggestions put forth so far though.

Hmm... Nothing comes to mind. Scourge's alternate head reminds me of some Japanese Transformer, much like Black Shadow. Kup's, I'm not sure either, but it definitely has an Autobot-esque head.

The Kup mold I'm not really sure on, but I'm sure the new head mold on Scourge is Mindwipe and not Ratbat or Leozack. We already got a Ratbat figure in the Universe 2.0 line up with Springer.

Not-Scourge seems to fit Senator Ratbat.
Not-Kup seems to fit G1 Skids. http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Skids_%28G1%29
Between the pics and the card game character bio, Skids seems to fit best.

* Skids (3D Battle-Card, 2007)
A 26-point "common" character in the 3D Battle-Card Game's "Energon Wars" expansion, Skids "transforms" into a grey pickup truck of indeterminate make. He uses the same parts layout as movieverse Ironhide and Dropkick.

Plus, it generates interest among the fanbase for what might be coming out. (See the last 7 pages of this thread.)
Any chance Scourge might be Jhiaxus? I know Terradive matches the color scheme of KB Store Exclusive Jhiaxus, but the not Scourge head looks a little like Jhiaxus. And aren't we supposed to be getting a Jhiaxus, or was that complete speculation?

I think it's being done on purpose actually.
Yeah, to save money on Instruction Sheets by reusing art and only changing the name.

I can't say for either of them. I personally love Ratbat from Universe 2.0, but a I'd get a new one too.
