So if you didn't notice, but on my copy of battletrap, there are tabs on his forearms and when you are going to transform him into his truck mode, there are slots on the underside of the cab section where his arms tab in. It's hard to notice it. but, It made his vehicle mode look a lot cleaner without the gaps on the sides of the vehicle mode
I agree with it works-ish. I got my kit about 5 days ago and everything for the most part…being Battletrap and Nightbird… works great. But the shoulder pieces for scourge…they fell very short of my expectations. I thought I was crazy or doing something wrong but you have the same issue as I have with mine. The front grill won’t stay in place. The shoulder joints don’t line up right…it looks great if you plan to keep scourge in robot mode but if you want to be able transform Scourge…I’d go without the new shoulder pieces. Just my two cents. For the value. Absolutely worth it if for only Battletrap.
Scourge's new shoulders are also a lot smaller. And impeding the transformation like that... bleh. At this point I'm tired of the peripheral frippery that comes in most upgrade kits, and I'm like holy s*** can we please just get a kit that fixes his transformation issue?! I've only transformed my Scourge once and it hasn't cracked, but that's probably because I've only done it ONCE, and now I'm afraid to handle the thing. I realize a kit like that would replace his entire torso, but as someone in the comments said, these kits from DNA are eh, already more or less on the path to making their own figure anyway.
Just wish I could get a kit JUST for Battletrap. I don’t mind inaccurate Scourge, I actually kinda like the toy design better than the movie. And I don’t even own Nightbird, nor do I plan on getting her.
I put the new wings on my nightbird but one side of the doors doesnt want to be in place when in car mode . I saw in the trailers and the film that her wings goes from small to big when transforming , so i think that in car mode i keep the small wings and in robot i put the big ones.
I personally prefer the bigger shoulder pads since it gives scourge a lot more presence/a bit of an RID 2001 homage. Also it would be funny if DNA releases a 3rd kit for scourge just to replace his toes. Since that's the only inaccurate part left
Ngl, I only wanna get this kit for Nightbird, thise wings go such a long way in improving the fugure that Im willing to justify the purchase, and when I eventually get Battletrap and Scourge, Ill have some extra parts for em too, tho honestly seeing how fiddly the transformation for Scourge becomes, Ill pass on the shoulder mod, besides I like how thwy looked more before so eh
Yeah I decided to not install also. Another reason I decided to not use shoulder parts because DNA removed front grill insignias that comes from shoulder/truck hood parts.
@DiegoA-bv2gj, it's a late reply, but it doesn't seem to be. I've watched several videos to make sure I'm getting my money's worth, and it seems that, like Emgo stated, all figures tolerance is different. Meaning this can go well or atrociously badly.
@@DiegoA-bv2gj I didn’t see the notification for this. But if you don’t have it yet. It’s not worth it solely for the shoulders. The transformation doesn’t work well anymore and like I said. It broke the tabs of scourge so I was forced to put the original shoulders back on. It improves Nightbird for me
I personally thought the 1st upgrade with the new blade and claws and filler pieces were enough though I do like the extra left hand for Scourge with this kit! With that being said I absolutely WOULDN'T switch out those shoulders at all. I saw when you were transforming him that the arms had to be pushed DOWN into the slider notch while the shoulder pieces had to be pulled UP the central column. So that the new hood pieces could be shifted. ALL the wear from pushing down on the arms and pulling up on the shoulders will make that plastic crack or break in no time. I'd rather wait on a completely NEW updated figure than break this ONE figure from so much add-ons. However the upgrades for Battle trap and Nightbird weren't so drastic in their effect on the figures themselves! Thank You for reviewing this upgrade kit EMGO, definitely helps us decide what We want.
Ya know I simply do not throw away any packaging that comes with my toys bc some of them come with an amazing background artwork display so I can replicate every single thing that happened in the films and so forth which is totally Puptastic and PAWSOME bc it's so cool to do that with anything out there!! Which I'm sure I've proven my point my now alright cheers and have a wonderful first day of June!! Toodles and Bye-bye!!
I personally had no issues with either of the kits, so I guess I got very lucky. Mileage may vary is definitely something to live by with 3rd party and upgrade kits. 😂 Great review as always Em, keep em coming!
Just installed mine, and jeeze they ruin the transformations. Scourge’s truck mode is basically impossible to do without him falling apart and having tons of untabbed tabs. Nightbird ain’t much better. Battle trap comes out pretty great tho.

I like what it adds to Battletrap and Nightbird, but I think at this rate I just want to get the Baiwei Scourge.
I did and it's good, but damn I wish it at least came with a more DNA Design style blade arm
I think that the 3-pack is a pretty good deal, especially with these new colors for the Scourge upgrade kit.

I like that you called Nightbird "Nightwing"
Coz she's a d**k
Scourge does look like a brand new figure with the upgrades

I don't remember the movie and I never watched the original scourge review, but I like the original shoulders more. The new tiny ones look weird.
The scourge of theseus
Emgo you will review the Go better studio upgrade kit from ss 102 ROTB optimus prime???
Short review: pretty good, paint chips very easily tho
Amazing review have amazing rest of your day
finally for god sake its out
Time to grab a snack
Alright! I love snacks!
A purity good upgrade kit again from DNA.
Off topic incase you do not know.
Looks like Dreamstar toys is doing a Devastator set after superion.
I put the new wings on my nightbird but one side of the doors doesnt want to be in place when in car mode . I saw in the trailers and the film that her wings goes from small to big when transforming , so i think that in car mode i keep the small wings and in robot i put the big ones.
i really interested for scourge shoulder work. thanks for the vid.
Scourgery for Scourge! 😂😂
I think the battletrap and nightbird upgrades are amazing, but the scourge upgrade is kinda odd in my opinion.
I personally prefer the bigger shoulder pads since it gives scourge a lot more presence/a bit of an RID 2001 homage.
Also it would be funny if DNA releases a 3rd kit for scourge just to replace his toes. Since that's the only inaccurate part left
Just got mine today
Can he transform with the humanoid left hand instead of the claw, and does it clean up the truckbed?
Yes he can! And....kinda? 😂😂 It definitely looks better than the giant claw.
when are you got to review the legend dino bot combiner upgrade kit
I don't know if you've answered this question but are you going to be reviewing the robosen grimlok or megs
Ngl, I only wanna get this kit for Nightbird, thise wings go such a long way in improving the fugure that Im willing to justify the purchase, and when I eventually get Battletrap and Scourge, Ill have some extra parts for em too, tho honestly seeing how fiddly the transformation for Scourge becomes, Ill pass on the shoulder mod, besides I like how thwy looked more before so eh
Not going to install the shoulder parts, to much of a hassle
Yeah I decided to not install also. Another reason I decided to not use shoulder parts because DNA removed front grill insignias that comes from shoulder/truck hood parts.
Definitely ordering from you next time
Hey Emgo, will you review Masterpiece Kaen please?
I’ll get to it.
Can I keep original shoulders if I wanted do u need to use the upgrade shoulders
you don't have to use any parts you don't want to.
Yeah mines delayed for some reason
Scourge is more Upgrade Kit than Official Toy at this point lol.
Sweet
I see why that one toy guy hates showzstore
The shoulders kinda look off? Idk although not screen accurate his old shoulders seem to fit the body more idk
damn it where is dk-48 for my takara monkey? 😅
This kit broke one of the tabs on my scourge. Pain
Its worth getting? I only want Scourge sholders

I just want the Nightbird parts.
Lol PEW PEW FLING FLING
am i really going to buy the kit just to utilize one third if the kit?
I don’t know… are you?
15:36 why did you call Nightbird "Nightwing"?????
Because I’m a stupid dumbass idiot.
@emgo316 No need to talk like that! I just thought it was kinda funny. I mean, it is kinda easy to mix the two up
That is not Nightwing, that is Nightbird.
Night bird
Is it just me, orders everyone gets renegade vibes from these 3?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
I personally had no issues with either of the kits, so I guess I got very lucky. Mileage may vary is definitely something to live by with 3rd party and upgrade kits. 😂 Great review as always Em, keep em coming!
Gonna put the obligatory "Hasbro could never" comment on every single upgrade kit videos, because Hasbro is such a disappointment nowadays 🗿🗿🗿
So you are Cool
Just installed mine, and jeeze they ruin the transformations. Scourge’s truck mode is basically impossible to do without him falling apart and having tons of untabbed tabs. Nightbird ain’t much better. Battle trap comes out pretty great tho.
I wouldn’t say it ruins Nightbird’s but it does seem strange.
Thew shout-out?
If there was, it was unintentional.
Guys just buy the baiwei scourge is amazing and better than the ss scourge don't buy expensive upgrade kits! For the ss one !
That joke was corny as heck
