The time is now! Our first Generations Selects character for 2022 is Deluxe Class Lift-Ticket! This figure is inspired by its 4WD Wrecker Diaclone red variant. As we bring universes together in Transformers Legacy, we also updated the look to our Generations Selects packaging to feature line art of the character.

primalxconvoy was joking. If his video had been properly embedded, that would have made it clearer.ZeroWolf wrote:Also memory is fuzzy but wasn't the character called Black Zarak in Masterforce anyway? I certainly remember the English subs referring him as such.

Yes, that's always been the characters name. I think based on the OP YT link he was joking. At least I hope he was.

I have been waiting to get a toy like this of him since I was 8 years old!
Finally can afford him as a working adult.
I hope the golden parts are brighter like in the promo shots rather than how they look in these pics.

The new pics are of the final product. The gold is most likely painted and will look like it does on Studio Series 86 Grimlock and Slug.

Lift Ticket looks nice. I did not get Hoist, so this will be my first time handling the Hoist tooling. Looking forward to adding him to the ranks of Diaclone bots. I might need my own diaclone shelf by the time I get the Den put back up

Additionally, his hips and shoulders feel a bit loose. May have to sort them too.
Strangely, I honestly can't tell which of the two I prefer. He's a damn near perfect mould in my opinion.

Prime VS Prime has just posted his video review of the highly anticipated Legacy Select Black Zarak.
Black Zarak is a repaint/remold of the Earthrise Titan Class Scorponok. Black Zarak comes from the Japanese G1 continuity, introduced in Transformers Super God Masterforce. He was the ultimate foe that God Ginrai had to fight against.
Appart that obvious black, red, and gold color scheme, this version have the head component almost completely remolded for the new character. He also come with a brand new spear weapon that can separate in multiple components. And contrary to the original, super rare, and super expensive G1 original, this new Zarak wont disintegrate due to the dreaded Gold Plastics Syndrome.
You can watch the video review below:
Scorponok for comparison, but he have the DNA Designs upgrade kit equipped.
So what do you think of this release? Did you had Black Zarak on preorder since months ago? Are you planning to get him? Or is that an easy skip?
Please leave a comment!

Me too!
It's also one of the reason I cancelled my ER Scorpy preorder. The second being having the OG G1 Scorpy and to never, ever being able to buy and enjoy G1 Zarak. So that titan is a blessing. Black Rorichi called it, despite the naysayers.
Just a few more weeks to wait, if distribution doesn't screw up.

Is it meant to be a visor or just some panel to cover his chin in alt mode?

Just a face cover when not in head mode.
Speaking of panels, PvP complained that there's no extra panels to cover the crotch area for the scorpion mode.
I don't agree at all. I find this head absolutely PERFECT for the scorpion mode. The crotch area of the deluxe headmaster with the pins gives the scorpion an extra pair of shiny eyes plus a sinister mouth that is wide open, ready to swallow whole some unfortunate fools.

I agree with it looking like a mouth, but no the pins as eyes. However if someone were to add googly eyes ...

How much power do you have in the community to get Reprolabels to make a range of stickers, just for THAT area/use, Burn?

As a result I went to my closest GameStop last night, while there were no Artfire's, I did find it odd that they had one of the Galactic Odyssey Micromaster set.
Apparently the Artfire's have been shipping for those who pre-ordered on GameStop website a while back (now sold out). The employee in store just told me to keep checking back in the coming days.
If I can get one in store before my Pulse Preorder ships (January), then I will, if not, then I'll wait. I don't think I'll be able to find a better deal online at any retailer to get this single item shipped to me for $35 or less.

I have several GameStops in my immediate area, including one just down the street. Not sure if they all carry toys, or just video games....

EE's shipping boxes though, let me tell you, those are some absolute cringe. "Who's ready for an unboxing?" plastered on the side makes me suddenly not want to unbox anything, rather, it makes me question some of my life choices.

That's how I feel about Amazon using tape that says "Prime Day!" all over it for Prime Day packages, there's more likely to be something expensive in there. Just glad I live on a private road and don't have to worry about porch pirates. Hasbro Pulse boxes annoy me a little, too, not everyone needs to know I'm buying toys.
Thanks to Scotty I'm now having some regrets choosing to order MP Thundercracker from EE.

Of course, it was more of a joke than anything else....

Over the years I'm sure we've all had our fair share of judgement on our chosen hobby. For me, that time of even slight concern for the thoughts of the small-minded is long over.

As a FedEx Enployee, the first time I found out Pokémon Center has a box tape decorated with Pokeballs Pikachus and CHarizards wearing postal satchels was in the middle of the sort when like 20 of these boxes showed up and I had to fight so hard to keep my geek flag from totally unfurling right there with 50 complete strangers

I can't imagine how you'd be in my local convenience store.
Even the alcohol has anime on it...
