    Thanks, Predaking and Devastator are my favorites, that’s why they get special attention. While customizing my 1st Predaking (see my other thread), I really wanted a set of separate Predacons optimized for Beast & bot mode, to go along with Predaking. I tried to give each of them that kick-butt “umph” they deserve.

    Thanks! You can see some deeper explanations in the earlier posts. As for a “tutorial”. It would take another set, as lots of this one was “I have this idea, hope this works!” experimenting as I went. Having done this (and my other), one *could* make a set like this still combine with dedicated “parts forming” pieces. But I already have one set in Predaking mode, so I don’t really *need* that, as these’ll stay in bot/beast mode. If you have any particular questions though, I’d be glad to help.

    I’m *really* happy how these turned out. And I think I was able to bring out the “bad-ass” in each one that the Predacons deserve. All I need is for the DNA kit to arrive (for the PK hands, waist, and sword), and my “love letter” to Predaking will be complete!
