ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: SWEEP LEADER
FIRST APPEARANCE: THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE # 1

"Desolation follows in my trail."

Profile: Scourge is the most fearsome and implacable hunter-destroyer created by Unicron from the wreckage of dead Decepticons. Scourge is leader of "The Sweeps," a specially created wolf pack of tracker-terminators designed by Unicron to hunt down and eradicate Autobots and their human allies.

Abilities: Scourge is possessed of scanning and locating equipment, which can detect machine or human presence even if it is as small as an amoeba in the ocean or a wind-up toy in the Sahara desert. And he is merciless and capable of using such weapons as acid rays, which dissolve his targets, laser blasters, disintegrator beams, and assorted demolition and fusion devices in eliminating his prey. He can transform to a scouring vehicle, a marauding automotive mode which handles any terrain and scans for "survivors."

Weaknesses: Scourge's only weakness is his arrogance.
