It was indeed not the only Black Zarak delivered today. Much to my surprise, a large Monolith of a package was delivered into my hands today, entirely unexpectedly.
He is very impressively chunky...

Returned home to find as feared that Zarak had been shoved behind the bin rather than in it. So the outer box was totally sodden. Fortunately the inner one doesn't seem *too* badly affected, but we couldn't be calling it mint anymore. I slit open the seal to check the figure inside is fine. Which is odd, because I haven't opened Scorponok yet so that's the first time I've seen that mould. Big... isn't it.

I only had a chance to check the box contents weren't damaged. What little time I've had at home this weekend has been a rush. Looks cracking though.

Black Zarak
Giant robot, turns into scorpion and base.
There's nothing not to love here

I've only had a muck around with Zarak's toy, but Guardian's base mode is pretty decent with the tank and rocket. And a Micromaster!
Trypticon looks fun. A giant dinosaur spaceship? Every kids dream. I have no idea how good the base mode works though.

...I wish you were my dad... (Actually, my dad got me big Boba Fett and Cardboard Death Star, so I'm not complaining.) There is only one answer: OMEGA SUPREME. 'Cos I'm sure the child is being correctly educated in Transformersness. Not sure how available the big fella is though these days. Energon Metroplex didn't have a base mode did he? Just a big guitar? |

Cybertron Metroplex transforms from a giant bucket wheel excavator, to huge robot, to even bigger robot.

I went with Zarak. I was sort of leaning that way and if anybody knows, surely Phil knows.

Zarak is here. He is a mighty lump of plastic. Child number 1 is very happy.
I'm now wishing I'd got some ramp bots when they were cheap.

The Ramp Bots break very easily when transforming as the hinges are on translucent plastic. You have dodged a bullet.

Second only to Megabolt Megatron on Brave Max, but still pretty neat.

Were you, perhaps, being as little bit Hashi Bashi with yours? This shall probably horrify Phil, but I have never used a rampbot, and actually forgot they even exist. <ADDS NAME TO LIST> I've not used mine for a bit, we may need to get the ramps out in the garage The clear plastic isn't ideal. I know shapeways had some solid ramps, and adaptors for Micromaster & Titans Return ramps |

A Transformer that breaks so easily is a shit toy and a complete waste of money. -Ralph |

I had the first one, transformed it a few times and I think I toy-fu'd it in the last consignment (if not then it is in the current lot). It was too unweildy to make a good shield, and not necessarily terribly compatible with the characters I wanted to use it as such. Karl |

I don't think they'll be the only ones offering that, I'm sure I saw this is a general reissue.
