War Lord Beasticons Unlicensed Generation 1 Predaking

Posted on 12-03-2012 at 03:46 AM by Sol Fury under 3rd Party Unlicensed

Facebook group Meteor Operation has posted a couple of images showing a prototype of what they are calling "War Lord Beasticons", an unofficial and unlicensed Predaking (not the same as the Mastermind Creations one teased at TFcon in July). The picture shows a detailed robot form, featuring articulated fingers. There's no detail at this time of who is making this, or when they plan on releasing it. And as always, it is not officially licensed or endorsed by Hasbro.

Valkysas

Oh. Hello.

Zyros

Looks awesome... But I'd be more inclined to get the MMC version partly because their latest figures are pretty great, and this is an unknown company.

supervir2

Looks BOSS. Of course, need to see more, but very promising start.

Megatron31

that looks like prototypes to me not renders

these are pretty far along they might be out before mmc's

Z005WFT

This is great I'm glad I didn't go devy crazy with G1 predabrick and waited for a real manueverable predaking. I just hope it's not mini size. I want one in scale with Herc and Uranos.

Naztok

I'm so excited for Mastermind's, but if this ends up coming out first, I'm not sure if I'll be able to stop myself.

Can someone mirror the pics please? Don't have Facebook...

Updated first post.

Compewtrawn

pretty sick, the hands and fingers are doing it for me, bad.ass.

thielmj

pretty sure this was a custom originally made by one of our board members

Looks like he, or someone else, is producing it for release.

Megatron31

its similar to that custom but there are some differences from what we see in this prototype

jourdo

Looks hawt! Although that second pic makes it look a little top heavy. Maybe the angle?

UltraPrimal

Meh. I'll wait for the MMC version. I don't need a knock-off of a kitbash.

What's with the big spikes coming out of the sides of his hands? Looks painful!

...it's accurate...

SPLIT LIP

Saw thread title and got excited.

Just another God damn G1 combiner.

OMEGAPRIME1983

That thing had best be huge, because that would be a great version to go with the current MP line I think. Regardless of if it is though, GIMME!!!!!

CodeXCDM

The positions for the shoulder blasters looks good on Rampage (if you look at the original custom) but on Predaking... yea... needs another spot on the back to properly place them.

Still... impressive custom.. if it's being mass produced I can see folks debating whether it or MMC's is better... it'd come down to the quality of plastics I suppose.

dwong1207

Very interesting...c'mon MMC, show us what you got!

AnegefalosGR

Holy Mother of Beasts O_o

Cheem The Rup

yes promising but Ferocicus seems to have more appeal.... this seems a custom G1.... anyway I'll buy also this at day one

DJW107PRIME

Okay didn't see this coming.

Ultrawave

That first image is almost definitely a 3D render. There's a noise filter or an error/something weird going on with the shadow to give it a texture almost so it looks like a casted prototype.

flamepanther

I like it, mostly, but the proportions look a bit weird. That let arm is wicked long.

Squallte

WOW! This looks awesome. I wounder who is doing this? If not MMC's they may have the whole Giant Vs. Hercules thing again. We need more info stat!

Swaldem

i think the one who customized it before sold the figure maybe someone purchased it and started making the fig.... lets wait and see how this looks

cylor

^Hope so, because buying a knock-off of a kitbash would be out of my comfort zone. (yeah, I know, every 3rd party product is stealing IP's, whatever).
Anyway, I also hope that MMC doesn't back off because of this. Theirs will be probably better articulated and more detailed than this.

unicronic

Looks good. Sadly 3rd parties aren't getting any cheaper, that should come with experience but no sign of that.

deaculpa

<--confused.

TigerBlade

His Devastator is for sale here so maybe someone has picked up his work to be mass produced.

TOYMODA.COM - ROBOT IN STOCK

miscreant

^ Anyone who's going to throw 2100 at that when Hercules and Giant are available...is way more hardcore than me.

No shit Sherlock. My point is that it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that a 3P has struck a deal tho is it for this Predaking? The similarities are too close for co-incidence in my book.

Transformed

He looks rather thin from the side, and those shoulder cannons do look weird were they're placed. Is this the final version?

Burnout

And hasbro wonders why it cannot keep a line going....HERE IS WHY HASBRO... START DOING STUFF LIEKT HIS AND MAYBE YOU'RE TOYLINE WONT FADE AFTER TWO OR THREE 2-4 FIGURE WAVES!!!!

CVprowl

i trust mmc to make an awesome product.

kaos

and so it begins...

Cyclonus79

Oh my! This looks all kinds of good

Feralstorm

Looks cool, though an unknown quantity (though I've never owned anything from MMC either)

An advantage or disadvantage depending on viewpoint, this Predawhatever looks more along the lines of a beefed-up version of the G1 design, compared to 'how many robots make it up again?' Ferocious.

Ezilla82

Man, I looks like it blows the G1 version out of the water and it looks pretty cool.

zebramatt

Currently I'm leaning slightly towards MMC because... Armpit cannons?

Necro Prime

Hubba wha? Uh oh! Am I gonna have two not-Predakings to choose from as well?

deathsheadII

don't like where the cannons are but the rest looks promising not going to make proper judgements until we see all of this and all of mmc's

MisterGuyMan

Damn... I hope both Predakings suck because otherwise I'll buy one. I still need to get not Superion and Herc.
