Dunno how that work in the Outback for you, but Black Zarack is actually CHEAPER than Scorponok based on the 250$CAN Toys R Us price.

Age 3 and Up have the preorder open for 230$CAN. Add only one tax for this Québécois and a surprisingly cheap shipping price, and it's mine for 256$CAN total! :shock:

I thought this sucker would be like 300$+ or something.

So, preordered and paid in advance to make sure he'll be mine.

I'm still getting Scorponok from Pulse too. 8-}

With him just going for MSRP, and the fact that I skipped out on Scorponok....I pre-ordered him this AM.

So this is how Hasbro is sneaking in a yearly Titan without doing one at retail after 2021. For the same price I'm perfectly fine with that. Sure, I do want an Omega Sentinel, Gigastorm and Metro Titan, but more than anything I really want Brave Maximus! Due to my love for RID (and regretfully cancelling a pre-order at BBTS for the Korean original back in the day) that's the guy I have the most attachment to and need to add to my collection. Plus we need to complete the Maximus trio.

I suppose Double Punch is still unlikely even though we now have the correct head.

Man, I wish. Sadly, the Ark is gonna be the last new Titan mold before the size class is put to bed after this year, with a second Commander class toy taking its place instead.

Man, you just woke me up with that news. I'm gonna have to talk HasLab into it with a goal of 1 so I can get it. I mean, they can retool Metroplex... Extensively... Okay, back to dreaming I guess.

He looks pretty nice.I think the colors look more menacing.

Day 455 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

I could be way off. But I think it would actually be cheaper to develop a new (maybe deluxe size?) toy of the AM Elites, rather than try to do do a color redeco of a Titan that doesn't fit the gimmick. As much as I hate those colors, I wouldn't mind deluxe size Double Punch, Turbo Master, or Omega Spreem. While they do homage larger bots, I always considered them different characters, so no need to make them the same size. Plus the simpler transformation would fix deluxe scale well I think.

I'm still hoping for Leader Class Fortress Maximus or Scorponok at some point. I'd rather one of those be turned into the obnoxiously colored (but still awesome) Double Punch.

My only question is ... does he come with gold plastic syndrome? No Black Zarak can be complete without it!!! :michaelbay:

Imagine a line sorely dedicated to the comics. Like a comics trilogy. First would be Marvel. Zombie Starscream, Leader Scorponok creator of the Pretenders, and other weird bits. All full of "old comics print" tampograph effects.

I'm not into the comics at all and I never was. but I'd be all over such a line!

My dream is finally coming true always wanted the original but just didn't want to spend that kind of money on plastic that old so this just makes my day. Along with Metrotitan I would love to get an Omega Sentinel to finish my big bigbots. So glad i picked up Grand when it came out.

Latest from the rumormill: This Generations Selects Black Zarak figure is not going to be a "War for Cybertron Trilogy" figure, but will instead be labeled a "Legacy" figure, with "Legacy" allegedly being the name/theme of the next trilogy after WFCT.

"Legacy".

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........................ :-?

This look promising.

Just like Earthrise Scorponok it looks awesome, I want it, but titans are way out of my price range. I also don't know where I'd put one I'm kind of running out of space to display Transformers as is.

It fits with the preexisting rumor that next year's line will be like Kingdom, being 50% G1, 50% other non-G2 stuff.

EDIT: Here we go. Dorkside Toys uses that name.

Space is my problem. I currently have room for another titan but if the Ark is actually coming I want an Autobot to go with the Scorponok I picked up last year. But if the Ark looks like pants I might get this anyways.

You had me until the tampograph effects. I'm not a fan of that nor cellshading or comic "accurate" colors like that blue Masterpiece Grimlock. I knew as a kid that the blues were black!

Now "old comics print" Transformers comics set in the old school Marvel Universe ... that's awesome!

I like the sound of that :-?

They could still do more g1 stuff across other japanese series as well as other non g1 lines that need the modern treatment like the armada prime super mode we got teased with that was standing by selects star convoy a couple years ago

He is actually cheaper then Scorponok...Pre-oredered him as soon as I saw it. I' running out of space though with Unicron upcoming soon...

Openly admitting Hasbro managed to surprise me. I do wonder: where did the design for Zarak come from?

Do you charge when the item is available? And how do we preorder through this site? Sorry, I never knew I could.
