It turns out, while these are real photos and not renders, they have the exact same poses found on the renders on Hasbro Pulse. These give us the best indication yet at the finished product.

Oh, so glorious indeed!
I'm so glad that I preordered AND fully paid mine months ago.

You mean the Takara price for Select Black Zarak?
My condolences.
I feel privileged to have paid 225$can plus tax and shipping for mine. Especially when the normal price for a Titan is 250$can plus taxes over here.

The OG Scorponok can be considered a leader. A big leader, but still. If you can tolerate getting an incomplete one, as long that it have it's headmaster, you can get one for a (very relatively) reasonable price.

With his bulk, he's more like commander class I think. And I wish I could get 2 of Black Zarak to display in both robot and scorpion mode.-Kanrabat- wrote:D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Absolutely gorgeous. Now I want a leader Scorponok to differentiate him from BZ. BZ looks so much better

I suppose you could install the inevitable recoloured add-on kit that will make it taller than the standard height of the recent Scorp?

I'm surprised that not even 3P thought of making a Marvel comic accurate "G1" leader Scorponok yet.

Oh, I remember that one!
Too bad that it's just 3D printed and only ONE guy can make and sell it. Must be worth a fortune if Shapeways is any indications.

Another comparison (G1 Star Convoy was Commander-sized):

And definitely lighter.
I wonder how much they would charge today if they'd make something as big and as massive as Armada Unicron today?
100$us?

The reissues of Cybertron Starscream and Primus in Platinum Edition and TLK, respectively, were exorbitantly more expensive than their original price, and Starscream was among the simplest Supremes while Primus was the among the smallest.-Kanrabat- wrote:I wonder how much they would charge today if they'd make something as big and as massive as Armada Unicron today?

I'd put the starting price at $150 at least. That was the Toys R Us (RIP) price in the US for TLK G2 Primus back in 2017.
Edit: I forgot about Greenicron, who I got for $100 from Amazon Japan in 2019. So I'd say somewhere between $100 and $150.

Almost the same price as a titan then.
This makes the old Supreme class pretty pointless for new toys today.

Weird Galvatron is the only email I've gotten from Pulse this week and I've ordered all of the Selects and SG stuff.

That's a duo that make sense in every forms.

There could definitely be worse choices though, I actually think it all 3 powerdashers were redone quite creatively.

That would have really irritated me personally. Usually, with Takara Tomy, if the toy was released recently, and there's a problem, then they'll send the parts. If not, I suspect they wouldn't fob me off with something akin to Botbots...
Howevet, horses for courses, I suppose.

I got an even better "replacement". Broken neck piece on Hades Megatron scythe guy. They sent me a Rescue Bots play center.
Sent both back and just got a refund.

Prime VS Prime has just posted his video review for the Transformers Generations Selects Reformatted Galvatron.
This special repaint is cast in beautiful transparent purple plastics with the key moving parts being solid opaque. The deco are precise line works in white to simulate when Unicron was reformatting Megatron into Galvatron.
But wait, THERE'S MORE! Also included with this leader, appart the "Revenge guns" and the Matrix-on-a-chain, there's 14 micro figures and 3 mini ships to scale with your HASLAB Unicron (if you have it.) If you don't have that Unicron, at least the micro figures are compatible with the Kingdom titan Ark.
You can watch the video review down below:
So, what do you think of that deco? Are you planning on getting it? Let us know!

It may not be "supposed to", but it is.
Now, if it's an exclusive, I have no idea.

Between the Amazon Australia listing for this thing not saying Selects, and the noted lack of packaging in this review, I feel confident in saying this probably isn't actually a Selects and the reviewer is just saying it is because it's a stolen copy and they don't know how it's releasing people did the same thing with the Centurion Drone and Tricranius, despite the packaging for both of them labeling them as numbered releases within their respective retail lines.-Kanrabat- wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:I don't think this is supposed to be a Selects release, I believe it's just an exclusive like Ravage, but regardless, the updated Pulsecon page strongly hints this is going up for order then.

There's no way he would know what line it is from without the packaging. He really dosen't do much research it seems. Although PvP is resourceful in getting items early, unfortunately it leads to mistakes or sometimes basic toy information being left out as a result. I've heard him make some fairly regular errors when he talks about details from the past, or where these items will be found.
