    Man, I was initially on board with Predaking, but when I noticed that Predaking (or any of the Predacons) don’t seem to come with their swords, I think I’m gonna pass on them.

    Yes, the lack of swords is actually influencing my decision. Hasbro, if you’re reading this, give them their swords back :(

    Predaking is so damn awesome, and he's huge!

    The new Prime Masters look epic as well, dem Terrorcons too. Lots of good stuff on display here.

    You're
    not
    gonna burst any kind of bubbles
    with one piece of stand alone
    art.
    Show me better than that or I win :p 
    Same for
    Devestator. You can come up with
    a
    whole lot of reasons why
    his getting
    a titan toy
    was sound, but I was talking about his
    relative size in fiction.

    Predaking looks on Devs' level, which I'm A-Okay with. Primal is excellent, loving the face sculpt, though his robot mode Optimal eyes should really be green but whatever.

    Fair enough. There is a ton of different combiners and, I can see how in all this excitement that a mistake can be made. I thought I missed something.

    Optiomal will be a total pass if the other two modes are not part of the engineering. Tank mode, and starfighter mode need to be a part of the deal.

    First impression of Titan Predaking:

    My Feral Rex is safe.

    Seriously, not too hot looking. Will likely hold together better than UT Warlord though, I can be sure of that (*eyes Warlord funny, some random piece just fell off*)

    For Predaking, I don't need to? You said "In every piece of fiction, Predaking was the same size as all combiners." That is one of the pieces of fiction where he's significantly larger (it's not stand-alone art, it's from the comics). Whether you accept it isn't inherently my issue, nor is it a competition. It's a discussion. As for Devastator, I never said he wasn't the same size in most fiction. I was simply stating why he got a larger toy despite his uniform size in fiction.

    Predaking looks fantastic!
    But where are the swords and Razorclaw's cannon?

    Just remember, this is the first official showing. Personally, I'd be surprised if they don't have the swords shown at SDCC.

    Curious though, am I the only one looking at the combined form and seeing Predaking's thighs as a separate piece? (like the 3rd Party Constructor) I feel like there's more plastic there than we see on Razorclaw's single form

    The cannon seems to be on Divebomb. As for the sword, I'm just as curious as you.

    Yeah, I don’t know what I was expecting, but the individual bots barely look different from the original G1. But then I’m not really a Generations collector... Primal though, really liking him. He stands out against the other leaders because his two robots are so distinct. I may have to get him.

    I assume tank mode should be in there, which i always felt was the cooler of the alt modes for him. But let's face it, on the original Optimal Optimus figure, starfighter mode was basically him just lying down with his arms stretched out

    Starfighter is gorilla on his stomach. Worst case scenario PE comes up with a kit for ATV mode.

    Datum: Fans desire swords.
    Datum: Third parties often produce weaponry that is left out.
    Datum: The swords are not included.

    Conclusion: A 3p will produce swords for the Predacons and Predaking. 97.8% probability.
