It's another Tuesday and Hasbro has revealed a new figure again. This time it's Generations Selects DK-2 Guard. This toy is not exclusive but the preorder link given by Hasbro brings us to Big Bad Toy Store's page, which has the info we inserted below. You can preorder him here.
This toy is based on the original Diaclone release labelled as DK-2 (image below)
Fans can take their Transformers figure collections to the next level with Generations Selects, a fan-dedicated line of figures featuring fan-favorite, special edition characters you can’t find in the main line.

Now, the DK-2 Guard figure is released in the originally-planned deco scheme. This figure converts from robot to van mode in 22 steps. Figure comes with blaster and shield accessories.

Unless there was a KO Ironhide that was black too I'm fairly certain I had the Diakron release of the mold way back in the day.

Was anyone aware that Deluxes were going up to $25? Every preorder I've seen (I ordered mine on Pulse) had him at $24.99.

Speculation (and hope I guess) is that this is related to the ER Ironhide/Ratchet mold using too much mass/parts to fit in a regular deluxe price point.

Interesting that Legacy Selects are all getting unique boxes with character line art on them (yet still get their names on stickers). The first three shown, Black Zarak, Lift Ticket and Guard aren't even boxes they can reuse later. I wonder if with the inner box having to be unique now that they aren't using plastic trays that maybe they're punching out both the inner and outer box at the same time leaving more room for customizing the art.
Ordered mine off BBTS, it's the exact same price as on Pulse rather than them adding a buck or two as they often do over the Pulse price and now I don't have to pay $7 for shipping or scramble to find something to add for free shipping.

Also the boxes themselves are smaller. In the below link the reviewer compares Legacy Selects Lift Ticket to a previous Selects Deluxe box, and it is smaller:
https://youtu.be/0QVb45t6BNs
This makes sense considering the effects packs for the last 2 years (Centurion Drone and Tricraneous) both came in the same size deluxe box than all the others but still managed to pack in the extra box of parts.
I know a few people have Black Zarak in other countries, but I haven't seen anyone compare the box size to other Titan Boxes I am curious to see if it is any smaller.

We've seen images of these toys already but this is out best look yet at two upcoming Generations Selects figures, Nightprowler and Buzzsaw. Both of these toys have aspects that callback to their portrayals. While the original Waspinator mold had both a mutant and robot face, Waspinator was always shown with his mutant face while Buzzsaw's art always had him with his robot face, hence why this toy has a new head. As for Nightprowler, he was originally supposed to show up in the Universe line, which had Autobots vs Decepticons, even though the line was rereleasing molds from the Beast Wars era. So, this release of Nightprowler is also an Autobot rather than a Maximal.
These images come to us from a Chefatron review.

Yep, for bot mode, you push those flaps in to form his chest. He forgot to pull them back out for beast mode. At least he is consistent?

There's still a lot of room for retooling if they're going for accuracy like they did with other crossovers like Ecto-1 and the DeLorean. At that point color wouldn't matter.

Maybe the other stores will get theirs when HP is ready to ship?
I paid mine months ago and Age 3 & Up still have no clue when Zarak will ship.
It's worrying.

Asia and Europe has received him already (I cant speak for Pulse UK, but I know other European retailers have already shipped him).
I mean...we know it's out there, because many fans in other countries already have it. I just don't know what's going on with North America.
Surprisingly, I was turned on to the idea of using GameStop as a barometer, which I found to be true as I got Artfire in store from them about 6 weeks before it shipped on Pulse.
GameStop however, keeps delaying their release date of BZ as well, so like everyone else, I am stuck without any barometer other than Pulse's ever fluid shipping date which is *currently* 3/1/22.

They are likely still on a ship waiting their turn. My guess would be Hasbro shipped everything for North America together since Gamestop doesn't have theirs yet. Asia is much closer by boat, and it wouldn't surprise me if Europe got theirs by air shipment if the numbers were small enough.
Also remember scale, we are probably talking multiple cargo containers for the BZ shipment versus 1, maybe 2 for Lift Ticket. If a ship has room for an extra container or 2, Lift Ticket would go first before BZ.

Just got G2 Ramjet, and man is he awesome.Don’t have the Ramjer, Dirge two pack so had not seen the mold changes to the seeker mold but they are fantastic. He looks imposing and cool. The black, purple and dayglowteal work together really well. His joints are much tighter than on Thundercracker or Skywarp.
Also, his head seems to be locked in place, or the joint is so tight I can’t actually move it.
The only thing that’s weird are his thigh-high boots. While the other seekers tuck the knee pads under the waist piece. Ramjet’s go on top of it but don’t actually peg anywhere that I can see.

They're talking about the shield that forms the top of the van. It's a very big extra accessory compared to the original Siege deluxe mold.

I managed to sneak my Guard Preorder in when it was still $22.99, didn't know it would go up. Guess we'll have to see when the next deluxe goes up if that is an actual price change or just a unique case.
I too was told Lift Ticket is prepping to ship. Interesting, but kinda Argh that there is something else yet coming early. I am not liking the amount of early items right now.

Thanks to Seibertron user hiway7, we have notice that a new video review has been posted for the new Transformers Generations Selects Lift Ticket. Lift Ticket is the diaclone repaint of the Earthrise Hoist figure, which was released 2 years ago, featuring a red and yellow paint scheme complete with the Wrecker logo across the doors. Lift Ticket is currently coming in stock at Hasbro Pulse, and has either shipped out or will be shipping out shortly for those who preordered him.
Check out the video review below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Lore Keepers review of Selects Black Zarak may not be the first, but it's certainly one of the best and most comprehensive so far.
Also we get confirmation that BZ is in stock at BBTS. If it wasn't for the taxes making it more expensive, I'd cancel my Pulse pre order, but I'm still hoping GameStop in my the United States gets it soon,since Canada now seems to be getting them in stock.

^ I recall you saying you already paid for your BZ in advance. Are you able to cancel and get a refund? I was just wondering in case you were able to go to a local GameStop and actually find one in store, I've read online they are showing up at Canadian GameStop stores, and they are supposed to start shipping to customers who pre-ordered in the U.S. starting next week sometime, which would place them starting to show up in U.S. stores I'd imagine as well around that same time.

I think it's too late for a refund.
Beside, mine was at least 50$can cheaper than GameStop over-all. I'll just have to wait some more.

I get that. As I said earlier. If not for the increased price and taxes, I'd be ordering from BBTS right now and canceling my Pulse order.
Fortunately GameStop (at least in the United States), charges the same amount as Pulse was initially (before the price increase), plus there would be no shipping cost, and I have GS discount coupons on top of all of that, so getting it form GameStop in a store would be an all around win vs Pulse. I would order form their site, but the item is not available currently, which is a shame, because GS had a great sale on toys which would have included BZ if it were available to pre-order.

I was hoping for a TF Tuesday reveal today, we shall see in the next few minutes if anything. I know there have been a ton of name leaks, and store listings, but I believe (correct me if I am mistaken), but Diaclone Bluestreak is the only leaked toy image of anything from Generations that hasn't been officially revealed correct? well...I guess Titan Cybertron Metroplex counts too, but I figure that reveal is still a ways off.

I think that is accurate, yeah, although Silverstreak is supposed to be a Target exclusive, so the most likely candidates for a Tuesday reveal would be DK3/Blue Trailbreaker and the Cyclonus' Armada repaint as the only remaining Selects that we know of (assuming Clampdown has had his Selects release cancelled as the leakers believe).o.supreme wrote:I believe (correct me if I am mistaken), but Diaclone Bluestreak is the only leaked toy image of anything from Generations that hasn't been officially revealed correct? well...I guess Titan Cybertron Metroplex counts too, but I figure that reveal is still a ways off.

Cool. There haven't been any leaked pics of DK-3 yet, so either its a ways off, or he has been leak proof, which isn't bad. I wasn't even aware of the possibility Clampdown...interesting though.
yeah...I got the email about the Sar Wars and Marvel Legends X-Men drops. Cool for fans of those lines, no TF news is sad though.
I'll keep holding out hope for some news about Black Zarak this week from Pulse or Gamestop...Probably not though.

If Selects Clampdown is cancelled though, I'm curious if Hasbro's going to release another Selects we haven't heard about yet to replace him (Detritus, Loudpedal, and/or another missing Seeker please).
Posted by Nemesis Primal on February 8th, 2022 @ 1:07pm CST
Clampdown is in a weird spot. When he first leaked, he was in the same situation as Deep Cover last year, where he had a Selects listing and a separate Walmart exclusive listing, so people were speculating one would be the Siege mold and one would be the retooled Kingdom mold, but now the leakers have said more recently that Selects Clampdown has been stricken/is missing from the more recent order sheets, so that release may have been cancelled? It's up in the air.o.supreme wrote:I wasn't even aware of the possibility Clampdown...interesting though.

Or maybe Clampdown is being moved to a multipack with other uses of the Kingdom Sideswipe tooling? They did that for Spin Out and Cordon from the Earthrise Sunstreaker mold. It would be an easy way to put out the “Earthmode” versions of Tigertrack and Deep Cover, for instance.

Earth mode Clampdown and Deep Cover as a two pack would make a lot of sense. I don't see them revisiting the Siege mold, but starting fresh with a pair of Earthrise molds would make for a nice set.

I thought CLampdown was in Velocitron with an Earth Mode (which makes no sense)?

Forgot about that, was a mold ever said or was it just assumed because it's the most recent? Using the Siege mold for the Velocitron series and using the Earth mode in Selects seems like the best way to go similar to how Deep Cover was done.

....I don't foresee them coming out with Earth mode versions of those 2, honestly. Hasbro still hasn't done an Earth mode redo for Hound yet, despite those who claim that Hasbro needs to, I highly doubt they're going to prioritize updating two nobody repaints when they aren't even committing to updating all the Ark cast. Plus there's still so many other characters Selects could do, I don't think they need to do repeat characters (Megatron gets a pass because he's Megatron, of course they did multiples of him, and those had VERY different decos).Wolfman Jake wrote:It would be an easy way to put out the “Earthmode” versions of Tigertrack and Deep Cover, for instance.
A Clampdown is in the Velocitron lineup, we have no clue which mold it uses. The whole "one will be the Siege mold, one will be the ER/Kingdom mold" was what people settled on as the only logical reason why there would be 2 Clampdowns (doing the color-invert they did to Deep Cover doesn't really work here), but we honestly know nothing about either release other than "we had listings for 2, one of them is gone now".sol magnus wrote:Emerje wrote:Earth mode Clampdown and Deep Cover as a two pack would make a lot of sense.

Honestly I'd rather have proper Earth mode versions of Clampdown and Deep Cover than some of the random Diaclone repaints we're getting.

Black Zarak continues to look nice. I had a fakeout this morning thinking i was charged for him, but it was only a marvel legends astral Strange.
I'm kinda surprised there were no selects reveals friday, but that is ok for right now

JD Red Knight exist.
It's a repaint/remold of a Movie toy.
On the box, no truck nor Paramount license is seen.
Does that means Movie Select toys are possible, even if those would too, be Hasbro Asia exclusives?

The thing about the Studio Series live action movie molds is that they're based on designs owned by Paramount. JD Red Knight went and stripped away enough of its visual resemblance to AOE Galvatron in robot mode to pass legal. But at which point would beg the question of what good reusing live action movie molds would be if so much of the molds' original identities would need to be excised for such use in the first place.
I would think more Movieverse fans would prefer that the molds be used in such a way that let them resemble the designs they were made to resemble instead of stripping them of so much of their core identity as live action movie designs.
Basically, it's a question of what good it would do to "de-Movieverse" the Movieverse molds, especially in lieu of just using other non-Movieverse molds for said purposes.
