Question about the Lord Zarak figure (Scorponok's Headmaster)

Postby Seibertron » Fri Mar 02, 2007 12:35 pm

Motto: "Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest ... is silence."
Weapon: Twin Shock-Concussion Missiles
For years, my Lord Zarak head won't truly connect to the body of Scorponok. The spring inside the body simply pushes the head back out. Fortunately, the helmet keeps the head in an half-in and half-out out position. So I've always just kind of dealt with it. I figured it was something wrong with the body. It occurred to me late last night that I've never tried to put Zarak on another Headmaster's body or vice versa. Much to my surprise, the same problem happened when I connected Zarak to Cerebros's body. Spike connected just fine to the body of Scorponok. I thought it was going to be something wrong with the body of Scorponok, not with Lord Zarak. Nothing looks broken or worn on him. I swear Zarak used to work at one point when I was a kid. Does anyone else have this problem with Zarak and Scorponok? Maybe I just need a new Zarak.

I don't thik its just yours Ryan, mine has the same problem and I thought that I'd just got a dodgy one, i have to almost wedge my Zarak head down with the helmet and then every couple of days push it back in.

I think the main problem lies with Zarak's Headmaster reader on the left as you look at him. Mine seems to be too big(wide) so he pops out all the time and doen't engage the clip like all my other Headmasters.

You can try to get another Zarak but Prices for him seem to be going up and up.

I don't think it's the read on the Scorponok body. Try another Headmaster head on Scorponok's body. Then try Zarak on another Headmaster body. The problem seems to be with the Zarak figure.

Sorry Ryan I meant on the figure (headmaster)
I measured it up when I was gonna Kitbask E-Scorponok using the leftover reader from a dead Chromedome but the fit was too tight and I didn't wanna wreak a £20 head.

My Skorponok worked just fine. I loved that head, the purple and cream color...

but I lost it. I've been wanting another zarak, but he seems to go for as much money as skorponok complete. Seems like he is the most expensive part of the toy :-(

And on that note, I bought the one that was on eBay tonight that I've been watching during the past 24 hours. Your comment about him being about as much as a complete Scorponok made the $60 not seem as bad. I hope this one works. If it does, I'll try to figure out what's different between my old one and this one so that I can share that information with everyone. Here's the one that I just bought:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0089996952

I'll probably sell one of them on eBay along with all of the other stuff that I've replaced in the near future. I've got a lot of doubles from the past couple of years. Zarak will be added to the list now.

I'll let you guys know what I find out with Zarak. If this 2nd head doesn't work, maybe diablien and I can compare our Zaraks next time we hang out so that we can figure out the difference between them. It's so weird that all of the heads work on the Scorponok body except for the one that belongs to it.

I had a similar issue. I used clear nail polish in light coats till it fit right. Obviously, let dry between light coats and try it, then coat again. ;0
