Looks great. On the fence still about getting it though. 

 

Just realised how Predaking's skinny waist resembles the Call Of The Primitives animation model. If that's what they were going for, that's pretty cool.

Also..



This explains so much

 

So from the combination schematic, Razorclaw forms the head and chest(plate) of Predaking, but who forms the waist? The wings that attach to it are obviously from Divebomb, but I'm not sure if the waist is also a detached part of Divebomb (with the rest forming an arm), or if Razorclaw splits into at least two pieces (one which forms the head and chest(plate) and the other that forms the waist with Divebomb's wings attached separately to it). From the yellow coloration of the waist though, I'm assuming it's the latter.

 

Looks like the waist slots are part of Divebomb's wings and the actual hip ratchets are part of the legs. Hmm how about that, leg bots that are actually all of the legs vs just shins.  

 

I really hope we get an oversized Volcanicus to go up against this guy.

 

They are trying almost every trick in the book to make it so you don't notice the giant limb parts that Tantrum and Headstrong have to drag around on their backs...

 

Well, if you don't notice it, then it's a win, right?

 

I think Predaking looks good, it looks just as Id expect. I personally am only interested in Onyx Prime, he is needed to complete the set, while making him entirley exclusive to Predaking IS a good business move, what are the chances that Onxy Prime also gets a regular release? or some other kind of re;ease that includes a decoy armor? Does anyone have any hope to share on that? seems like there might be a special Megatronus coming with the POTP Blastoff mild but nothing officially confrimed so far as I know.

 

I noticed it. But then, once it's seen, you can't unsee it...in fact, you kind of look for it.

For the past four titans, I've pretty much bought without waiting for a deep discount. This is the first time I'm actually thinking about waiting for a major deal before pulling the trigger...

 

I don't know. If he's starting out at $150 as a combiner, I'm debating taking the chance that it'll drop sufficiently enough to take the chance of him not dropping in price and then get nailed (as I did with Trypticon...somehow, every single time he went on sale I didn't have the cash) as the prices shoot up. I'm currently looking at the Dinobots like that right now. Grimlock for $40 or more online. And that was because I was on the fence about getting them but then they announced Predaking so that sealed it, got to get the Dinobots now so they can go head up.

 

I haven't been this excited for a non-MP/3P TF in a long time. Will BBTS or any other e-tailer put these up for PO anytime soon?

 

I really like this but wish it was smaller like the other combiners wars toys for scale. Devastator too. Gah...

 

Predaking isn't the problem. The individual blocky looking Predacon's are.

This is why I'll be waiting till word hit's that it's on sale for $50 at Ollies this time next year. Or I'll just be content with my G1 set.

If Hasbro want's more of my money then they're going to have to put more LOVE in the designs of these Voyager, Leader and Titan class figures! Blame TRU for lower quarterly sales all they want but I know what's really going on....

 

Is it going to come in one combiner box like Devestator or in seperate boxes for each figure?

 

He's a set of figures like Devy was

 

It's a boxed set like Devy.

 

Boxset...

 

The good news here is that the godawful waist section is part of the gigantic Divebomb backpack and not Razorclaw, so a third party fix might be a lot simpler than originally believed. Won't help the giant thighs hanging off the back of Tantrum and Headstrong, but it's a start. Two or three upgrade sets might have it looking halfway decent.

The notion that this is anywhere close to MP is insane. Like I realize that this is probably the closest HasTak will ever come to it but wow.
