    If TFC predaking is as good as Hercules I will be all over it, although I do agree it would have be better had they shown completed Hercules. Hope they show it before allowing preorders for the predaking at least to settle everyone's nerves

    No Fansproject? That's disappointing. I want to see those Hexatron pics though. And I might be interested in Predaking.

    Hope yall took a lot of pics... seems like a few interesting items there!

    BTW, is this the Revoltech UM kit?

    [​IMG]

    Seems very cool... and would make a UM worth grabbing honestly... gets annoying to see him as a White Prime ALL THE TIME.

    Considering that TFC's Herc looks quite nice... a Predaking would be quite neat... well, minus the fact that there'd be another 600$ investment for it! Can't get the cash for Herc, won't be able to scrounge for Preda either. This makes me sad...
