- Olin Zarak is a Nebulan from the Wings Universe portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
You know how it goes. You toil your whole life to make a name for yourself, pull yourself up by your bootstraps, and subjugate the citizens of your planet under the rule of a mighty Hive. You hope you can pass that legacy on to your kids, right? That they'll live up to your example? Make you proud? That's what Mo Zarak thought. But no, his son Olin Zarak ran off to become a pirate. Well, at least it wasn't art school. That crap's expensive.
Fiction
Wings Universe
Olin was son to Lord Mo Zarak, born to a mother who was kept separate from Olin as he was raised in a "sterile" environment till he matured. Mo desired to keep his son under his thumb, refusing to allow him the sort of free will Olin's half-sister Llyra had that led her away from her father. Olin was cast aside when the Decepticons arrived on Nebulos, but, when Mo expired, Olin inherited Scorponok. He eventually joined the Star Seekers, acting as their muscle. Tornado's Personal Journal

Timelines
- Pirates vs Knights (BotCon 2014 box set)
- Olin Zarak is a retool of the Encore Spike/Fortress Headmaster pilot figure, with a new head-mode face based on Scorponok's US animation model. (He still uses the Spike/Fortress flip-around forehead piece, though.) He transforms from an armored humanoid into a robot head compatible with any classic Headmaster robot body... or the retooled neck-piece to his way-bigger companion Scorponok, who he comes with.
- Scorponok and Olin were only available as part of the BotCon 2014 five-piece "Pirates vs Knights" toy set, along with Cannonball, Ferak & Tornado, Devcon and Ginrai.
- The original version of this mold was also used to make Grand, Car Robots Plasma, and Robotmasters Master.
Notes
- Olin's identity was only mentioned in the run-up promotion to the convention. In the comic book itself, he's merely referred to as "Zarak" and Scorponok's profile card doesn't mention him at all.
