In the end, everything you cared for... will be consumed.

~ Scourge’s most famous quote as he vows to destroy everything Noah Diaz loves.
“
I enjoy that look of confusion. When an inferior being meets a higher power.
„
~ Scourge taunting Optimus, his second most famous quote.
He is a Cybertronian trophy hunter who leads the Terrorcons to serve under Unicron. In 1994, Scourge learns that Optimus Prime and his Autobots are hiding alongside the Maximals on Earth, so Scourge and his subjects go to the Earth eager to hunt them down, tracing them to Perú, South America to bring his master Unicron to the planet.
He is entirely beholden to Unicron. Through his power, he possesses Scourge’s soul.

~ Airazor about Scourge
Scourge is full of malice and sadism, willing to serve the Chaos Bringer despite the fact that his own planet was destroyed by Unicron, probably indicating he has nothing left to go back to, yet was likely humbled enough to accept his master, viewing it as more of an act of nature and a twisted sense of supposed enlightenment and humility.
He enjoys taunting and confusing his opponents show at the sight of him, the thrill of the hunt, and has no qualms about killing innocents such as humans, whom he feels no real prejudice towards, showing only indifference and seeing them as hardly worth his time. He is focused only on the mission given by his master, as well as taking faction insignias of any other Cybertronians he kills (such as Autobots, Decepticons, Wreckers, Cybertron Elite Guards, Cybertronian Mercenaries and Maximals) as another trophy to his collection. Though claiming he loves Optimus' fire, but he mocked the Autobot leader that he is going to die in a speck of dust.
He was shown to not care for his teammates, as he tried to shoot at Bumblebee but didn't cease his attack when he was accidentally shooting at Nightbird nor was saddened by her death or Battletrap's death. He is also arrogant, as he considers himself as "higher power" while he looking down on Optimus as an "inferior being". His merciless nature has led him to hunt down and kill multiple Cybertronians (be they Autobots, Decepticons, Maximals, Predacons, Cybertron Elite Guards, Cybertronian Mercenaries and Wreckers), showing them no mercy. Overall, his arrogance and his power hunger led him to his demise as Optimus brutally killed him by cutting his arms and ripping his head off with his gauntlet blade.

Biography[]
Some millennia ago, the planet-consuming deity known as Unicron sent his army of evil Terrorcons, led by Scourge, his most powerful enforcer, down to the Maximals' home planet to retrieve the Transwarp Key, a device that would allow him to enter other galaxies and devour their planets. Scourge managed to track down the Maximals in a nearby forest and came face-to-face with their previous leader Apelinq. After a brief scuffle with the Maximal, Scourge fatally wounded Apelinq but declared to him he was too late to stop Optimus Primal and the rest of the Maximals from escaping the planet with the Transwarp Key and his master, Unicron will be trapped in the Maximal's Galaxy forever, before Unicron arrived and destroyed their home world. After being reprimanded by his dark master for letting the Maximals get away with the Transwarp Key, Scourge vowed to search the entire universe for the artifact.
Centuries later, in 1994, Scourge lands on Earth, alongside his fellow Terrorcons Battletrap and Nightbird, after having detected the Transwarp Key's energy signature from a museum in Brooklyn, New York. Upon arriving at the museum, Scourge sends two of his Sweeps to retrieve the key from two humans: Noah Diaz and Elena Wallace. Soon enough, the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, arrive on the scene and a grueling battle ensues, with the Terrorcons proving resistant to damage due to being infused with Unicron's dark energy. Scourge managed to overpower Optimus and kill Bumblebee before taking the latter's Autobot insignia as a trophy. The Terrorcons take the Transwarp Key just before the Maximal Warrior Airazor arrives and drives them off with her fire breath. During a conversation with Unicron, Scourge proudly professes his accomplishment to his master but is instead tortured, realizing that the key was split in half when the Maximals landed on Earth centuries ago (the other half located somewhere in Peru). Unicron then tells Scourge that if he fails his mission, he will wish he had perished along with the rest of his kind.
The Terrorcons follow the Autobots to Peru and Scourge once again sends his Sweeps in to retrieve it from the humans. After the Autobots locate the key, a chase scene ensues, with Scourge tackling Optimus Prime off a cliff, while Battletrap and Nightbird pursue the other Autobots. Though the Terrorcons end up retreating again due to Airazor's interference, Scourge manages to corrupt her by using Unicron's dark energy. When Noah, Elena, Airazor, and the Autobots regroup with the other Maximals, now led by Optimus Primal, the dark energy begins to corrupt Airazor, resulting in her kidnapping Elena and delivering the other half of the key to Scourge. Airazor then attacked her friends, forcing Primal to kill her.
Meanwhile, Scourge reassembles the key on top of a volcano and uses it to open a portal above Earth that Unicron can pass through. Soon after, the Autobots and Maximals join forces to defeat the Terrorcons while Noah and Elena sneak toward the Transwarp Key to deactivate it. Though Nightbird and Battletrap die in the battle, Scourge manages to fatally wound the Autobot Mirage. Despite his injuries, the young Autobot transforms the remains of his body into an exosuit for Noah to assist Optimus in the fight with Scourge. During the battle, Scourge destroys the control console just as Elena entered the failsafe, meaning the portal can't be closed. An enraged Optimus then puts an end to Scourge's murder spree by slicing off both of his arms, but not before taking Bumblebee's insignia back from him and removing his head, avenging the deaths of Apelinq, Airazor, and all the other Cybertronians he killed and corrupted. After destroying the key, causing the space portal to collapse, the Autobots and Maximals regroup and honor their victory in saving the Earth from Unicron's wrath.

Trivia[]
If counting previous Michael Bay films, Scourge is the second main villain of the live-action Transformers franchise to be a cybertronian hunter serving a higher power (Unicron), the first being Lockdown from Transformers: Age of Extinction, who is a cybertronian bounty hunter that served both Harold Attinger and the Creators.
If one looks closely at Scourge's insignia trophies taken from his slain enemies, which transform into his arms and shoulders in robot mode, one can identify Autobot, Decepticon, Maximal, Mercenary, Predacon, Terrorcon, Autobot Elite Guard, and Wrecker (specifically the two-hammer symbol used in the 2019 IDW design) insignias.
In the Japanese dub of the film, he is voiced by Nobuo Tobita, a regular Transformers Japanese voice actor.
Though he was revived, Scourge is the first and probably the only Transformers live-action villain to directly kill Bumblebee, a feat no other villain has managed to achieve.
He is based on his G1 counterpart, but his appearance is based on his RID counterpart.
In G1, Scourge was reformatted from Thundercracker. This version of Scourge is a separate character and doesn't have connection with Thundercracker from Transformers Bumblebee movie, the first being from Transformers Cybertron.
Ironically, his death is foreshadowed, as Optimus promised to Scourge that he will kill him, he even said "I will take Scourge's key, and then take off his head" as well "I can think of no better place to bury you" which is what Optimus did to Scourge when he kills him, as he brutally rips his head off, as well as his body getting sucked out by the space portal when Optimus destroyed the key.
Scourge's quotes to Optimus "You call yourself a Prime?" is similar to Megatron's quotes in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron.
Earlier versions of the film included dialogue that suggested Scourge was actually being forced into serving Unicron, rather than being a loyal servant under his command.
