This awesome DK-2 Guard figure is based on the Diaclone Onebox Cherry Vanette toy, which was originally planned to have black deco. The black deco was changed to red for release as Ironhide in 1984. Now, the DK-2 Guard figure is finally joining the Autobots in the originally-planned deco scheme. This figure converts from robot to van mode in 22 steps. Figure comes with blaster and shield accessories.
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. 5 1/2-inch robot figure includes shield and blaster accessories. Ages 8 and up.

Yep, that's Overcast!

Not at all. It only takes glue if you go for the colored taillights. The rest is like those toys that used to come out of the quarter machines, where you pop them off a sprue and put it together.

Pasted it but it didn't post for some reason

Yeah he really is just beefy and solid. Fun transformation too. And fwiw I quickly watched the Emgo vid on the upgrades (I kinda just skimmed through it a bit) and it didn’t seem like it needed glue but he went over it. I’d check it out if considering.

Glad you dig him! I got him as part of the Pulse sale a few months ago, and I've been very happy with him. I can see why people would be disappointed with the mold as Ironhide and Ratchet, but black tends to cover a multitude of sins when it comes to transformers, & the end result is a big, beefy bot. The van mode is a chunk as well, & that gold stripe along the side is sweeeet.
I usually don't go in for upgrade kits, but his van looks so much better with the doors on the back. I see the nonnef ones say they need glue, is that accurate? How difficult are they to install?

Interesting! Is that your OC Combiner at centre back of the last photo?

Here’s the sled kit.

Oh interesting. I have heard of the kits but didn’t realize how much they do. I think I’ll pass but thanks for bringing it to my attention : ) : )

Turns the shield into the original sled if you want it.

Just got this guy on a whim and boy do I actually love him. I absolutely get the criticisms of the mold and tbh I don’t really agree with them fully.
The feet, yes are disappointing and wish were hidden in vehicle mode but I can’t find myself caring all too much to be quite honest.
I actually quite like the shield. I know a lot of folks don’t like partsforming but I like the homage to the original Diaclone toy and tbh it is a convincing shield. Love the spikes and the cannons.
Overall he’s solid and tbh if I had the Ironhide/ Ratchet versions I’d probably not feel urged to replace them with SS86. That being said I’m not going to try to get them nor do I really care about SS86 in general tbh.

Amazon doesn't typically carry selects figures directly

Does Amazon have this up for order? I can't seem to find it. They usually stock all the Selects, right?

Nice, thank you. Usually I get charged the same evening the emails come in. I had a few preorder cancellations (pre arrival) earlier this year and was afraid I was on the secret bbts slaglist

Got my DK-2 Guard Ebonyhide today and had some Nonnef upgrades waiting on him. Also place a leftover sticker from toyhax on the front. Fits in well with the rest of my Ebony Squad

This may have been more of an automated e-mail, because there have been no shipping updates since and the Gamestop website has changed the expected release date to June despite the item being in stock at Hasbro Pulse.

Mine arrives tomorrow.
He will join his Diaclone brethren.

“DESTROY CAR”. LOL!

Definitely familiar with the cute little things, as someone who loves both TF and M.A.S.K. I approve.

It’s a fun one. You pull it back and let it go and it “transforms” automatically. Lol.

Eyy, you even got the little flip-out one.
Byootiful.
