    They confirmed at Hascon that the Predaking reveal will not happen until next year's NYTF. NYCC likely will be the same stuff that was at Hascon, with maybe an actual prototype of some of the stuff in the dinner presentation.

    We've had renders of Predaking shown... The toys themselves aren't fully ready yet. They showed off Volcanicus, as well as the individual Dinobots. Is that what you're referring to? Just Predaking/Predacons?

    You are. Companies don't like their products to be known too far in advance of release to help prevent competitors from copying them. We know Hasbro has enough trouble with companies like Wie Jaing.

    Well it did ten years ago. If you consider 3rd party companies have already beat Hasbro to Dinobots and Predicons then they should go a head and front load those reveals. They're doing doing it the way they did it 20 years ago and things, for Transformers at least, have changed.

    Gonna buy volcanicus. Might leave predaking alone as he is not the same size. Hasbro should have made volcanicus titan class as well

    I really like those Dinobots, including Slash. She was a pleasant surprise though I wish she incorporated into Vulcanicus. Speaking of which, it's about time the Dinobots got a combiner and I think it looks awesome. I'm so happy that the body-builder shape to Grimlock has remained a staple to his design since the FoC game, he really looks proper that way. It's unfortunate that the Dino mode must suffer from wide hips as a result but to me it's a reasonable compromise. The amount of molded detail and the clear plastic over the gold really makes these guys pop. I don't even mind the sticker details. I like what they've done with the redesigned combiner hands and feet though I'm concerned Grimlock isn't getting any additional weapons aside from the combiner feet as some crude attempt at fist weapons. He needs a sword dang it! I do like that the combiner feet can be used on the dino modes feet to give him shoes which is kind of funny(if emgo doesn't make a gag about the fact that he can have dino slippers in his youtube toy review I'll be slightly disappointed) and helps with fixing the tiny dino toes they gave him.

    Did we? The leaked render awhile back was proven fake, and the leaked slides were just artwork.

    I love the design they gave them with the translucent plastic and gold. Really brings it back to the 80's.
    My Dad passed down Transformers to me when I was 6, and I've been a fan ever since. He even game me a few of his G1 figures like, Optimus, Soundwave, Grimlock, Swoop, Slag, And Megatron. These are definitely the Dinobots I've been waiting for though. A hole is going to burn through my pocket lol

    Well, Soundwave has always been my favorite Transformer since he gave me his. I also have the Titans Return one now.

    That's True. I've got the CW G2 Bruticus box set and G2 Superion box set. I've also got a Computron box set but might sell it so I can get the DinoBots when they come out. Computron Box set is practically perfect condition. He still has the poster (which has no punctures from tacks) he still has the card, he also has the plastic mold and ever character still has their weapons.
    I really want to sell it though.

    G2 Defensor, G2 Optimus Maximus and G2 Sky Reign would disagree.

    As we've seen this year, Hasbro have gone off boxsets in a big way :-(
