Looks like I was right, Pulse has more Lift-Tickets up now that the Premium window has passed.

Any who had access have any clue why Lift Ticket and the other reveals from today are under the 1027 collection banner? I mean, I get that today is 10-27, but does a collection portend doing something similar on this day every year? Or, will their be another batch like this on a random weekday in November like the 1117 collection?

Edit: I just realized that is probably something that appears only on the page that has the 4 items revealed today and most likely just a website organization thing.

But it looks like there is a first for everything. I think they may actually have some for the General Public. Get em while you can. ;)^

Oddly enough the Cobra officer that was not sold out earlier when Lift Ticket was, is now sold out while Lift ticket is available.

*shrugs*

They're stressing the 1027 because they did this from Hasbro HQ, which is building 1027, and they did equal parts new reveals, marketing stuff, and somewhat of a building tour to make it more of an event than just a Fan First Friday, so they also scheduled it today for the date to match.

It was also supposed to be exclusive to Pulse Premium members, but apparently only by RSVP (which they did not specify was actually a requirement), and the YouTube link for it got shared/posted around the Internet anyway, making that exclusivity kind of a moot point.

I am surprised that there's only 4 figures actually listed so far, Lift-Ticket was the only TF reveal but from what I saw and heard there was also a Classified Alley Viper and like 4 Star Wars figures that just aren't up on Pulse.

I think the Ghostbusters Haslab was supposed to be the main event anyway wrapped around the haunted/Halloween theme.

There was a small Pulse member exclusive panel today but you didn't miss much if you are not a member. They revealed Generations Selects Lift Ticket (diaclone red Hoist) as well as the new packaging for the line this year. We saw boxes for both Lift Ticket and Black Zarak. And speaking of Zarak, we got some in hand photos from Twitter too. You can see all the images below along with the blurb from Hasbro for Lift Ticket, which includes a link to order him now.

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.

Black Zarak's cardboard box is gonna be HUGE.

I want Lift Ticket but as a regular Select, it will be available everywhere easy like all the rest sooner or later.
I'll wait.

Black Zarak will be my X-Mass gift... bought one year in advance!

So Black Zarak officially will be called a Selects Titan or a Legacy Titan? Or is it just Megalo Convoy?

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Thu Oct 28, 2021 8:42 am

He'll be the Legacy Selects Titan Class (first of his kind) so completely separate then Megalo Convoy who is the legacy retail Titan class

Why do they have to call him "Black Zarak"? Why not just call him "Zarak"?

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.

primalxconvoy was joking. If his video had been properly embedded, that would have made it clearer.

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.

Yeah I don't click on links without Previews, too many Rick Rolls made me cautious :lol:

I’m really liking Lift Ticket. The red and yellow really pop on the Earthrise Hoist mold. Now I want to see a black redeco of Legacy Skids as Burn Out to complete that old BotCon pairing. Actually, I’m ready for the whole set of Skids repaints: Crosscut, Reboost, Screech, and “Green Skids.” Am I missing any? I’m betting at least one of these repaints will show up later in the Legacy line.

Really wanted a purple Hoist to go with Impactor, I'm liking the red one though and even though I have the botcon one I'll likely pick him up but I'm not in any rush. Typical hasbro reveals X amount of stuff from their IPs and the one thing I want I cant preorder anywhere

Black Zarak! =P~

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.

For those playing along at home, My PulseCon Venom shipped today by FedEx. I think the different shipping providers depend on where the item is coming from.
