    Have no idea about the KO, but yes, that alternate combination was a function on the original Feral Rex.

    So, the few points I noticed on the KO is that Predaking's hands are simplified, lacking the individual finger articulation. The back cannons are simplified, being one piece, instead of having telescoping barrels. The port in the middle of the codpiece is new. Rampage's fists are left rotated out, which might be a simplification, or just a mistransformation. Divebomb's rifle (the "scope" on Predaking's wrist cannon) looks like a solid piece, rather than having the folding barrel of the original.

    going from photos, I suspect Talon/Divebob's chest was simplified too.

    These undersized KOs are probably the best representation for a CHUG CW Scale combiner
    Here's mine

    I've been thinking of selling my set of 5 with the claws, weapons, and head upgrades. No boxes $250 +shipping

    I'd really like an add-on kit for these to make the combined mode a bit more lean looking Predaking like I've seen for the Jinbao KO.

    IMG_8142.jpeg So….. I bought these guys way back when they were released (2014 or so) like most of you I’m sure…. And I didn’t appreciate the asthetics and never understood all the rage….. I really didn’t like the figures…. I just wanted a modern predaking.

    Well I just took them out of a bin full of stuff that was in my crawlspace and boy I sure appreciate them now. I love their asthetic now and absolutely appreciate their build quality. This is an exceptional set and although I was questioning why I bought them at the time…. Future me sure appreciates them.

    I think I’ll keep them in individual bot modes….. funny how tastes change. Hats off to MMC for their excellent build quality which is holding together well over time.

    They are almost identical (even are compatible), only some detail diferencies, you can watch youtube reviews (two or three) where an asian guy compare both.

    There's a pinguine figurine in MMC I believe Tigris' chest and a mini-bomb in someone's else. Not mentioning instructions/comics and TF cards.

    Expounding on an idea that popped to my mind in the middle of another thread:

    The first run of the Feralcons finished release in 2014, so 2024 will be the 10th year anniversary. The set was the first huge sales success for MMC, and it really put MMC on the map in the market. I think a commemorative re-release next year would be a pretty fun thing to do. There are obvious sales challenges, though, what with the molds being really old at this point, the number of existing KOs, and Cang Toys just releasing their Predaking. MMC's 2024 production calendar is also probably looking pretty full already. Given all that, I thought a wild color scheme (a la Nero Rex) might work best in the alternate future where this happens, and these were my ideas:
    • Shattered Glass: Basically a Sky-Lynx-inspired deco of white, blue, red, and gold
    • Shattered Glass (alternative): Dinobot-inspired deco of silver/gray, red, gold, (and maybe blue for Talon's chest)
    • "G2": Seacon-inspired colors of teal, fuschia, light-gray/lavender, and blue
    (I know SG Razorclaw exists, but it's really ugly, so I ignored it.)

    Other way around. Tigris had the "bomb", and Felisabre (Catilla) had the penguin.

    Does anyone know where I could get one of the swords/blade for Fortus. Bought one used and it did not have one.

    ope if anyone has a fortis junker also that has the blade.
