I've been hiding in the shadows but this is easily my most anticipated release this year. Predaking has always been a magnificent specimen but in gold it takes him to the next level imo. He just looks so goddamn majestic. :cool:

So what you're saying is that you want to see Predaking done in AM Thundercracker's colours?

It's my legacy to the fandom: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Gold_Plastic_Syndrome

(I would assume a 2010 Transformer would have the gold plastic designed with avoiding GPS.)

Including Drift? :p

The gold Predaking compared to the regular yellow Predaking, is like the JP Animated shiny toys compared to the regular anime coloured Hasbro Animated - people prefer both for different reasons. I like the JP Animated toys because they are pretty, and like the Hasbro ones because they are cartoon accurate. The same goes for the Predacons for me, as the combined mode deserves to look regal.

Amazon Japan have added heaps of pics, which have been mirrored at Seibertron.

Ah, no, I would never buy Drift. But I would buy any Transformer in Action Master Thundercracker colours. So you see, Kup, it's quite simple, if they happened to release Drift in Action Master Thundercracker colours then I would simply... um... I would just... er...

LOL, Well said! :p:D

A clean shot of the boxart from the TakaraTomy website:

While part of me still would have liked a straight up D-78 box-art, this new one is most definitely to my taste :)

Plus, shots of the new tech-spec cards!

I am soooo happy I have this on pre-order. I can't wait to get my hands on him. Hard to tell from the box scan above if this will be a 'bookcase' style of packaging. I hope so as I want to gaze at him through the box window without having to open him up. Yeah... I'm different :p

This looks better all the time... can't wait!
