Not a fan of it kup. too much gold but its nice.(apart from being brittle. hence my idea of repainting a G1 scorponok and appling a new head mold to creat one that is not brittle and resembles the cartoon one more [I.E yellow where all that gold is.]) Me well I love the old G1 japanese TF's. [But would not buy many of them due to high prices. raiden, dino king etc]

Ramjet: No that black zarack is a recolour of scorponok with a different head. (and brittle gold plastic).

If I remember right.
Image
Yep supposed to be yellow. Now how in the inverse would I create the spear?

Currently though Black zarack (the real one) is top of my list [For 2008 though]. I've got a few more things on the list for this year (mostly a mirage alternator). [Maybe If I do get one I can make a custom that I can play[Transform] with and put the real one in a safe place so he don't get broken (in his box of course, as otherwise he'd be broken). Now that sounds great to me. Why did the japs not use yellow plastic? Guess I'll never know.

BTW. As for the G1 scopronok goldbug I think he is one of (if not the only) G1 transformer with moving hands [Claws] so he can grip and crush. Is this Correct [To anyone who can clarify]?

No, the pretender Octopunchs claws could move. Not much but they could.

In order to make the spear, look on the auction site for the repro fort max swords. Chisel out the details and its already red so that could work

So why all the gold plastic? I'll get a complete scorponok to repaint I think as I don't like the sound of this:

'the toy features a heavy downside - the gold plastic parts (the dual guns, the gun shield, the shield/tower, the feet, the Headmaster component (Zarak/Scorponok) and Guardminder, BlackZarak's version of Fasttrack) are very brittle, and can break from even the slightest handling'

But that means I will need to make the spear and the head...

Technically, Trypticon could 'crush' things as well. Small things. Mine is currently latched on to and eating Powerglide & Huffer.
