I guess the following is a "toggle" block keeper?

Technically, these would be glider-to-B and pi-to-B, since there is a left over block that does not get cleared in the "almost-R" initial mess. It is very clean indeed!

A shift operation that has working periodic solutions can also work with sacrificial still lives instead: x = 139, y = 40, rule = LifeHistory 4$65.A54.A$25.A38.A.A52.A.A$24.A.A23.2B12.A.3A36.2B12.A.3A$10.2B12.A. 3A20.3BC8.2A.A4.A34.3BC8.2A.A4.A$9.3BC8.2A.A4.A20.B2.C7.A.A.ABABA35.B 2.C7.A.A.ABABA$10....
