So, what are the chances that Scorponok gets remolded/repainted into Black Zarak for Generation Selects and includes a repainted Fasttrack as the spear?

It'll probably be a selects, only available through Hasbro Pulse in the U.S. cost $350, and have an open window pre-order time of one week...and have a 6 month release date delay

I hope they repaint the hell out of this new Arcee mold like they did with the Moonracer mold. We need a lot more females.

Preferably Decepticons. The prices for the Legends female Decepticons on eBay are horrendous.

A little concerned by Scorpy's super tiny ankle joints. Looks like they were made to fail. Otherwise I'm really happy with him and pretty surprised he comes with his shield, I thought the tower detail would just be the underside of the hatch door.

People seem to have missed that Fasttrack is listed as having a third "staff" mode to be used by Titans. Interesting choice and you can see the blade for the staff on the back of his alt mode.



That tip looks an awful lot like this:



That's the end of Black Zarak's staff. I doubt we'll get a Black Zarak repaint, but it's a nice Easter egg. Also he does have a wide assortment of pegs and peg holes so he probably can function as a Weaponizer, too.

To be honest, when the staff mode was pointed out, that's straight where my mind went, but I didn't want to get my hopes up that they would reference Black Zaraks signature weapon. I doubt as well they'll do a titan repaint, especially since Takara has only done one up to now and even then it only had limited success. Still, nice to think about, hopefully we'll see Scorpy wielding fast track on Saturday.

The Arcee looks lovely, it's a definite buy. I may also get Sky Lynx to have at least one BEEG Autobot, because I still don't have Omega Supreme. I can always go with head canon that Sky Lynx fights Devastator.

It's great that FastTrack has that spray mode but it is greatly disappointing that Scorponock doesn't come with a handheld weapon. Would it have cost THAT much?

[Tigerhawk7109]

Is Fast Track not a weaponizer then?

Judging by the way the legs connect to the torso, and the fact that I can't imagine him transforming without a bit of Cog-style separation, my guess is that he is both a Siege weaponizer and an RiD style weaponizer. Yay!

According to a leak which seems to be pretty spot on so far, there is going to be a Hasbro Generations Selects Roritchi. Black Roritchi is the name of BlackZarak's redeco of Fasttrack. That doesn't necessarily mean BlackZarak will be made, but it's a pretty strong indication. I still wish they would do a Cog redeco to go with Legends Grand Max.

[Skritz]

If he's a weaponize then he's a greyish one, meaning he'd look great with Siege Megatron.

[Bonfireben]

Notice the release date for Fasttrack is October. Last year Wave 2 was June, Wave 3 was September. The only Deluxe with an “announced” October release date was Ratchet - the Walgreens exclusive.

He’s also WCF-E35, Ratchet was S34.

Arcee’s release seems a little off the normal release schedule too. She is E17. S17 was a Wave 2 Micromaster, but S15 was Greenlight, the first Amazon Exclusive.

So I was looking at Arcee and wanted to point out a few things. It's a render, so I guess bending physics should be expected?

So the grey panels in alt mode seem to turn pink in hoverboard mode, circled in yellow. I'm assuming the forearm panels are that bit circled in blue, but there doesn't appear to be a missing bit on the backpack. I think someone else pointed this out, but the arrow seems to show where the trunk may peg in. Also what the hell is that bit under the car circled in green? Her big honking heels? I'm assuming the heels with what looks like 5mm holes are used to secure things in alt mode.

The double jointed knees (probably for transformation) and clear wheels are nice touches. There's a lot about this figure I like.

[Cyberpath]

They all look great. CHUG has come a long way. But I'm skipping all of it. Kind of want Fasttrack though.

Why does EarthRise Arcee have a better face-sculpt than the upcoming Masterpiece?
Not crazy about the blunt part-forming, it's cheating.

That would be awesome, to have a gold version not subject to GPS https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Gold_Plastic_Syndrome

Aragon is my stand in for Grand Max's Cog, until, if ever, a proper one is made.

We do not speak that word here. Many of my brave soldiers have fallen to that damnable disease!

I only ever had G2 Slingshot. 17 year old me saw him crumble almost instantly, never went back to purchase a second one....heh...hindsight and all that. Never knew it was a running problem either until a few years ago.

[Rodimus Prime]

I'm also glad they didn't give Scorponok that stupid face shield.

[Cyber Bishop]

All of these will be welcome additions to my home..

[Jelze Bunnycat]

You sure about that? That purple collar on top of the scorpion's head (which is the same as the robot mode head, just turned 180) is similarly shaped.

It might be a similar part but it doesn't look nearly as prominent and it looks like it can rotate to the back in robot mode which was my main concern. I don't like the face obstructed, even if it's not accurate to the original toy or the cartoon appearance. I always favored the comic version, and he didn't have it in that.

I've been pretty unlucky. Optimal Optimus, 10th Anniversary Dinobot, Torca, Magnaboss, Protoform Starscream, Universe Superion, and Cybertron Repugnus are the ones I can remember off the top of my head.

[Wireless_Phantom]

Well with Fasttrack turning into a spear, it looks like I have a reason to get that selects repaint!

[-Kanrabat-]

Arcee is a damn CHEATER! But I like it a lot.

However....

FASTRACK!
SCORPONOK!



Holy mother effing kah-rayst!
Those will get preordered so hard!!!!

[Deadput]

This toy just reminds me of just how terrible of a "Transformer" design G1 Arcee is, just an Android Leia in appearance with no regard for actual kibble in the design for any plausible transformation.

Skylinx ans Fasttrack look wonderful and I can't wait to get them, the Scorponok images look too "cgi" for me to give an opinion on it.

I hope they repaint the hell out of this new Arcee mold like they did with the Moonracer mold. We need a lot more females.

Can we like not do that again?

All female Transformers using the same base mold was just...dumb, even worse when that Moonracer mold wasn't even that good to begin with.

I agree that more female transformers in lines would be wonderful, but please let's start giving them their old molds and treat them like we do with male Transformers, revamping their designs to be anything other then "human female but metal with a kibble backpack/stocking" would also be preferred.

I'm stoked about Scorponok. So who is ready for another grueling period of applying stickers when he arrives to your door?

I'm hoping that he'll be like Omega where he didn't have stickers. Though, now you have me worried
