Official Images of Beast Hunters Deluxe Ripclaw Released

Whaaaaaaaat?

lol whooops!

did you open it yet? maybe they put ripclaws instructions in there too.

Hahahaha what? That's a pretty big screw up. Figure looks cool though. Nice to have a female character that isn't a twig.

Cool looking figure. Will pick up when wave 2 comes out.

His colours remind me of the Dinobots' colour scheme, Hmmmm.

Ripclaw is a Girl?

I had a feeling Ripclaw was a fembot.

EDIT: She looks a helluva lot like Ser-Ket.

"HER"? Did we know that? I didn't!

Wow, is it just the back? Wonder how that got thru?

And yay, a fembot that doesn't look totally supermodel-ish.

Hey that's the character from Rage of the Dinobots with a different color scheme for some reasons. And she's a femme? Interesting I thought Ripclaw was a male in the comic.

EDIT: Never mind the character that's in the comic is Ser-Ket. Although she does look a lot like him. Maybe she's his twin sister?

Quick! Retcon every character ever named Ripclaw to female on the wiki!

Oh wait, there's not any. Continuity is safe after all!

That looks awesome!!! Great to see more fembots, cant wait to get this one!

Reminds me of ser-ket from the comic, think a ser-ket repaint and new head in robot mode is on the way :-)

Different character but similar design, the comic guy is ser-ket

Ripclaw looks great! At least from the pics a lot better looking than Laserback. That's a pretty cool error there. Looking forward to wave 2 now.

Well I'll be damned! That's a pretty amazing factory error. Ripclaw is looking really good. Looks a ton like ser-ket from ROTD. Wonder if she's a repaint of him? Either way, pretty stinking cool we've got a fembot predacon. I dig it!

Wait, what's that IDW thing on the back of the box?

Whoo-hoo! Very nice! Thanks for sharing this with us Yobuster! I love finding out about new toys like this, there's a thrill of discovery you just don't get when it's all official press releases or poor, blurry photos of stolen test-types.

What about the instructions? Were they Soundwave's as well? And any new figures listed on the little "Also Available" thing on the bottom?

Ripclaw looks like a halfway decent figure too, I'm curious to see who her wave-mates are.

Colour me interested! Always happy to see more of these new Predacons, even more so one that's a girl AND has a cool design.

Huh..I might actually pick this one up when it gets released.

Looks like I made the right decision deciding to only get the beasts in this line, digging the aesthetics in robot mode.

I wonder if these characters are going to have any speaking parts...

At first glance I thought it was the alien creature that hatched from the asteroid egg in G1's "The Secret of Omega Supreme".

Anyone notice that she's Deluxe No. 6 in the line?

Smokescreen as No. 5?

Finally a female Predacon/Decepticon that's NOT a Mary Sue Spider Bitch.

Hey, that's a character (model) used in Rage of the Dinobots! Yay.

I have to say, these beasts actually look pretty cool. Way cooler than the spikey Autobots, who are just the same figures but with added stuff.

These are great news for people who love Beastformers. Not sure if I will ever pick any up, but if I would, I could see myself just go for the beasts and not the Bots & Cons.

I know, I can't stand Blackarachnia.

Aside from the obvious Photoshop, that's a good looking figure.

Just to answer a few questions of fellow boardies:
- no i haven't opened Soundwave up yet, the inset sheet is the Soundwave sheet, the cross-sells at the bottom are just the wave1 cross-sells.

- Yes Ripclaw is #6 in the set.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!!!

Stupid question though. Are all the Perdicons going to be based on dragon-like beasts?

Are we sure this line is Beast Hunters and not Dragon Hunters?

Not that I am complaining, I would love a Predacon team of just dragons! So far we are up to 3!

Another dragon please let there be more i would love a team of dragons

huh, so Far Beast Hunters has not been that impressive to me personally.
Guess I'll just bypass the majority of this line for the time being, just as well, I've repainted too many wheeljacks for my Con shelf to have much more space.

Now that is cool, she looks much better than Lazerback and I definitely hope she's in the show.

We'll hopefully hear more about her and the rest of wave 2 at Toyfair in February.

What I'm predicting though is this:

Deluxes Wave 2
-Smokescreen
-Ripclaw
-Spikey Arcee

Voyagers Wave 3
-Spikey Bulkhead
-Insecticon
-Grimlock (I can dream)

can't wait for that!!!

Nice, a lady dragon.

She looks almost exactly like the Predacon Ser-ket in that Rage of the Dinobots mini-series that's out right now.

Bought on sight.

Cool, nice to see more Beasts coming out since they're the only releases in BH I'm interested in.

Not bad. I am still hoping for more G1 Terrorcon homage toys though.

One question, does it have the tech specs of Soundwave or Ripclaw?

Why it's a goil! That's always nice to see (listening Hasbro?).

Funny that Ser-Ket borrows a character model from a toy (show?) character without being her. Making you wonder if he's going to escape his comic series alive. Grimlock isn't a merciful sort.

That's unexpected!
Does the front show Soundwaves name and such?

That is Ser-Ket's body!

Wow, that's a pretty big error. While this isn't the best picture I'm judging by, this might be the coolest looking new mold, after Weaponizers Predaking.

Wait, "she"! So we finally get another female TF who doesn't look it. I hope she's in the show. A big, black and yellow female Transformer. Not a pink one or a tiny bike.

Was Ser-Ket's gender ever specified in Rage?

I mean "he" is named after the egyptian goddess Serket.

That is the best fembot design ever and I need it.

What are the cross sell figures on the package??

WOW, very intersting...
