Greetings Seibertronians! Have we got big news for you today! Hasbro Pulse have just revealed something titanic for Transformers Tuesday, something many fans wanted but didn't dare to wish for...That's right, Titan Class Black Zarak us heading our way!

Please note that the following are only digital renders.

Special thanks to all the Seibertronians (GeekyGamer Gal, Big Grim, and Shiningstar7896)who let us know about this amazing news, and to those who shared it on the forums (Nuclearxpotato, TF-Fan Kev777, and AllNewSuperRobot).

Hailing from the 1988 Japan only Transformers Super God Masterforce anime, Black Zarak is a retool of last years Earthrise Titan Class Scorponok (just as the 1988 Black Zarak toy was of the previous years Scorponok). In the fiction, Black Zarak is the Villainous Scorponok in a new, stronger, smaller body, having it built around his Headmaster body.

Along with the black and gold colour scheme, Black Zarak comes with the Tyrant Spear, a remoulded head and a remoulded Titan master.

Personally, although he looks interesting I have no interest in him. Since I have no knowledge or investment in Masterforce. To me, he's just a wacky Scorponok redeco.

Those mad lads actually did it. While it’s cool and I like it, it’s a light pass for now solely because I plan on leaving the Army later this year and will have to move all of my belongings back to my hometown so that takes priority for now sadly.

Yes, I had to do that last year when my bank issued me a new card number.

As for when BZ will ship, most Hasbro selects have been on time or slightly early, so I would expect BZ to follow suit, unless it is a Takara Selects that we aren't aware of yet, then mandatory 2 month delay minimum.

Awesome Thank you. ;)^

I also just noticed the eye-patch on Zarak's Headmaster, that is a nice little nod to Zone, surprising as this is a Hasbro Selects as opposed to TT, there was a lot of love put into this.

Now we just need some 3P company to make capes for the Nine Destron Generals

I forgot about that with Black Zarak in zone. Does his chest get damaged like that as well?

Meanwhile, fingers crossed for Gigastorm, I guess? Trypticon is the only City Bot mold without a redeco now. Plus it wouldn't require much more retooling than Black Zarak.

Nah, he just gets zapped by the Autobot Space patrol Micromasters, and that's about it

. I could be wrong, but I think the chest scar is a reference to his 1st Body (Megazarak) getting cut in half at the end of Headmasters. Although Masterforce really didn't do much to connect both Megazarak and Black Zarak (same character but in a new, more powerful, but smaller Transtector), it was pretty obvious, same voice actor and all etc...

While ER Scorponok did a really nice job homaging both the American Scorponok as seen in the Rebirth, and the various forms of Scorponok/Megazarak in the Headmasters Anime, This BZ has nice little nods to both Masterforce and Zone.

As for Gigastorm... Yes it would be easy, but It's not something I personally need/want. In fact the original Gigastorm (which was retooled from Trypticon) still scales really well with the modern BW figures. I'd rather see Metrotitan next personally.

You're missing out. It's a very good story, the best of the Japanese G1 trilogy in my opinion. Also, Devil Z, who later becomes Black Zarak, is probably the most evil of the Destron leaders in the entirety of G1. But even if this was just a Scorponok redeco like you said, it's still worth a double dip, because Scorponok is the best of the Titans, and there are enough differences between the 2. Now we definitely need a Commander Class Overlord to go with him. And having 2 CC figures schedules per year, I think Overlord is a definite possibility now.

I could go for an additional set of shoulder cannons for Scorponok, his proper "blaster" (maybe in a Weapons pack from Hasbro???), and even a proper Takara Headmasters cartoon head / G1 toy head for Scorponok with the more unique toy face and face shield.

I'll take the extra shoulder cannons and blaster for Black Zarak as well too please!

Oh I'm definitely down for that. About 5 years ago I had the chance to purchase a customized Titan Metroplex that was repainted as Metrotitan for about $250 shipped and it was a beautiful piece. I didn't pull the trigger and I've regretted it ever since.

And with Black Roritchi being released, Black Zarak can have 2 spears!

I tried with the Takara series. I think I got about halfway through Headmasters. It just wasn't doing anything for me.

As for double-dipping. Metroplex and Scorponok are currently still in their boxes, due to space issues. I haven't even seen what either looks like in person yet. I couldn't possible add another City Bot to that.

I can respect that, in fact I know a lot of fans that are the same. In fact, while some fans have hundreds, or even thousands of smaller bots in their collections, they may have few, if any larger ones simply because of space. I am the opposite. While characters like Prime, Megatron and Starscream have reached Icon status, Omega Supreme was my first, and to this day Favorite Transformer character ever, Titans and Combiners ARE what collecting is all about for me, so while my collection is smaller than most, it has all the BIG BOTS (well except Unicron...

) , and I *hopefully* won't stop until I have what I believe is, in my mind, a complete modern collection of All the larger Transformers that exist.

Also, about the anime, I get it. It's not for everyone. I however have very strong pull towards it as it has been a part of the franchise for me, before most fans in North America even knew it existed, and it is a favorite of mine. While something like Marvel UK (for example), is something I have little interest in. I collected all the volumes that IDW released until they stopped, and neither the art, nor the stories were compelling for me. I'm an animation guy, and I always will be. Different strokes for different folks. ;)^

I like Headmasters, but its definitely a little more kiddie and a little boring in a few places. But Masterforce is my favorite of all of them.

Yeah, The Headmasters is the weakest of the three. It gets better toward the end, but it is obvious that it was Takara's first try at their own Transformers show on their own.

Masterforce feels more like a fresh start and a breath of fresh air, though it's also very human-centric since the premise is that humans get to become Transformers themselves and fight to protect their own planet in the absence of the Cybertronian Transformers who left the planet years ago (though, some of them did stay behind in hiding, namely the Pretenders who also take on the forms of organic beings such as humans and demons). I was fine with this because I'm also a fan of human superhero series and mecha series, so the human Autobots and Decepticons didn't bother me. And the story got really good as it went along.

Victory is back to being Cybertronian-centric and feels more like a traditional Transformers series, but with a completely original cast of characters, a futuristic setting, and a larger ongoing storyline in its second half that gets bigger and bigger toward the end.

The high kicking Hardhead (a bot with a gun next to his head) and Galvatron's "demise", are some of the reasons Headmasters lost me. Then for whatever reason, a couple years later, I watched Zone. Which is... strange.

Following those I also tried the Takara BW series and disliked them even more. Still I would like to see Gigastorm represented through the modern Trypticon mold.

Wow! I’m really actually wow, this is real. This actually happened, not for me but this is so cool we’re getting figures like this. Gives me hope for idk maybe a new Deathsaurus? No I don’t want my hopes getting too high a new Terrorsaur will do for now
Edit: Metrotitan would be so amazing please didn’t even cross my mind until I read the thread

Yeah, it was pretty much after that low point that the show got better (and a bit dark and violent at times, oddly, despite the otherwise brightly-colored tone).

AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Following those I also tried the Takara BW series and disliked them even more.

Yeah, one kinda has to know what to expect when going into these Japanese shows.

These two blog reviews of Second and Neo pretty much hit the nail on the head for both. A must read for anyone considering watching the two but before going into either of them, IMHO.

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-}

Posted by Emerje on March 30th, 2021 @ 4:21pm CDT

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

Anyone want to pre-order at $159.99 plus shipping through Seibertron.com? I have 12 on order currently, but will sell them at market value when released. If you pre-order through me now, I'll just charge you whatever MSRP is plus shipping to your ZIP.

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