Looks neat! I'm pre-ordering this since I never got a chance for Kingdom.

I may need to get this one as I did have both the Universe and Henkei figures simply because of the image from the good old '86 movie.

But what are the people who have the original g1 and bought the Kingdom version supposed to do now? We thought just getting kingdom with our g1 would be enough to match the movie image of the two Cyclonus' in the "And his armada" scene. 2+1=3 figures NOT 2. This Selects one is the best out of the 3 and the colors match perfectly with the g1. Had I known this was going to come out, I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT KINGDOM. If I get this (which I really want to because it's THE best looking and best packed accessories set) I'LL BE STUCK WITH AN ODDBALL OUT. WHAT DO WE DO? I really don't want the hastle of trying to sell my still sealed Kingdom Cyclonus on Ebay. I've never sold anything before and don't want to learn all the details on how to without getting burned by some buyer who might want to try to return it later for some dumb/weird reason and I'd have to figure out how much to sell it for to break even from buying at in store retail and not loose money in shipping or ebay fees or sales tax on ebay, and then worry about ebay sending me some kind of 1099 tax form next year to report the income and have extra work to file my dam taxes. What a hastle. Thanks.

The green one, no. But a purple one based on the G2 Hero figure was released in Legends:
... or was he based on G2 Archforce?
Transformers Generation 2 Archforce Gallery
Anyway, technically that's Beast Wars Megatron as the head, but still counts

I feel sorry for you now, I guess it was a blessing in disguise that I missed out on kingdom Cyclonus. God bless you, hope you can figure something out. I believe there is a setting in Ebay for "no returns."

yes, when I first saw this, I realized there was a good reason Has-Tak made the TR Megatron. But why would we need the green camo Megatron from the TR mold if we can get it off the Earthrise instead?

Nice! I'm tempted to get him myself for that. Let's see what the next couple of days brings on some sales I've got pending.

I finally got around to open, play, and upgrade my Black Zarak with the DNA Designs upgrade kit.
Seriously, that kit is pretty much essential to have a "perfect" Black Zarak. However, because the kit is so massive, it's almost as expensive as Black Zarak himself. The overall package is well worth it.
Ironically, the DNA Designs kit wasn't enough so I added a 3D custom printed hubcaps for Black Rorrichi and a headmaster stats panel for Zarak. The overall results are perfection!
And those are the leftover pieces once the upgrades were done. I'll keep them in storage inside Zarack's box.

Very nice. I was highly tempted to buy BZ for 100 bucks, but I got enough new stuff coming in I'm going to be responsible for once.

Black Zarak is looking good there Kanra! Like the Grendizer picture as well.

As you saw, I added the Centurion guy in the team to represent the base mode rada dishes and such. It works well! Then, a population of Micromasters.
BTW, that Grendizer picture is a digital color print from an artist at the Montreal Comiccon in 2018 or 2019. I also bought the his original black and white drawing. Then I framed them both in a custom frame. The total price was expensive as fok but well worth it!

Oh, I forgot to show that DK-Guard works well as Netflix's Deeseus Earth Mode. That why I changed Deseeus'sesesez faction symbol for a

I has been discussed before, but parts-swapping between the two is impossible. Especially the heads.

It does work, it's an impressive display and shows why it was better waiting for BZ over normal scorpy.

The upgrades look great Karabat. I've just never been able to pull the trigger on any of the sets. I mean if something seamlessly adds to or makes something complete I get it, but to replace current parts by taking the toy apart is something I'm just not confident in doing. But I'm glad it worked for you.
Speaking of Grenadier, did you watch Golodorak which was popular in Canada back in the day? We got a watered down Version called "Grandizer" in the U.S., only 26 episodes. Discotek released Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger on DVD a while back. I hope they get Grenadier eventually, even though I have the whole series fansubbed.

Goldorak is my childhood. Saw them live on TV in the late 1970's early 1980's. But only as an adult and thanks to the internet that I was able to watch the full series. Dubbed in French of course! It's one of those rare anime that I prefer the dub for nostalgia.
Oh, and for the upgrades, changing the scorpion legs was easy but the bot legs were lots of work. If you only have Scorponok, you can skip the legs upgrades. But for Zarak, they are included in the box. You're not obliged to do them. The set is worth it for the guns and accessories alone that truly complete the bot like the original.

Don't know why, but I could have sworn someone did a Grendizer release. Did ever do the other Go Nagai mecha anime?
