It's really awesome how the robot mode is snarling!

If the other Predacons are as good as this, MMC is going to blow the world away more than 21/12/12!

I chuckled to myself.
wow. utter awesome. will have to think about preordering
3rd party toys, y u keep taking my money?!
I was liking the other one. But now after seeing this .. wow that's awesome stuff. Can't wait to see Razorclaw and Rampage :) think I will get this version
He looks like the Zoids Dibison or Cannon Fort, the new spin on things and articulated looking robot really brings something to the table compared to the rather simplistic Divebomb the other company has shown. The characterful face is the icing on the cake. Looks like it's the same sculptor who designed Screecher. Judging from what I have seen from Kup's Screecher that guy has a good eye for detail and little touches.
So yeah this puts Mastermind up, over the other company for me. Well played Mastermind I wonder who will make the next move.
A tad tiny bit to detailed for me. I honestly like the other one better. But the snarling face is really good.
So size wise, these probably are bigger than Fanprojects Colossus and Maketoys Giant? I would like a Predaking in a similar size to those, but it's probably okay if it was a little bigger...
I have a feeling he will be big and that's ok since Predaking is supposed to be the largest combiner.Quote:

Now we just need third parties to do more Autobot combiners. :)
As if they're not busy enough! MMC's annouced their IDW Nova Prime project.
Awww man. I loved the Predacons. But I'm so behind on my third party toys. I still haven't got Hercules.
Being behind can be a good thing -- Hercules has dropped to a price that's a tad more affordable, $455 shipped instead of the $600 you would have initially paid, whilst Maketoys Green Giant has kept at the same price, $395 shipped (from the same seller).Quote:

So far I'm not a huge fan either, mostly because his torso seems a bit too bulky, and his legs a bit too thin.
I think it's been re-purposed into Nova. I read somewhere that it was originally intended to be Prima, hence why the wings have been added on recently.Quote:

Yep! Looks like things are finally getting real! :D
Still vaporware until we get a final boxed pic but nonetheless, this is encouraging.

Looks nice. Worth considering.
I really do like to look of that wolf mode. Hopefully there's a secret 7th Wingwolf alt mode ;)
Pre-ordered this today....
:D
RK send a message on FB saying that they will be opening pre-orders soon.
This is extremely good news! :D - Wish RK were as active with their Twitter account as they seem to be with Facebook. :oQuote:

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen.
For a second I thought it was a new reveal :pQuote:

I really like the style they went with.
BBTS has just got the pre-order up, and with $20 off until this Friday 25th Jan -> from $95 to $75.Quote:

Yeah i preordered. soon Not-Predacons. soon.
Wait? Pre-order?
What happened to Tantrum?
Anyway these toys are looking a lot more unique and interesting than the other companies Predacons.
Not sure why they moved Divebomb ahead, but this is definitely the first release of the Ferocicons/Feral Cons.Quote:

Maybe the first batch had QC issues and they're putting their stock cheaper?:confused:
OOOHH it says early bird. That made me chuckle. That might be why. To use that joke...:p
The 3rd parties seem to be more 'old school' clever in their marketing. The offer is to suck you in a set of 5 expensive toys ;)Quote:

The head doesn't appeal to me that much...:cool::p
Oh FFS! :eek: - Why do they always have to do these things on an off pay week!?! :o
I want that Divebomb like it's nobodies business! - I'm with you Kup, MMC all the way! ;):cool:
Looks like this will be my second 3rd party combiner. Any word on scale? I'm guessing they'll be in line with Herc which is a shame for me, but these are just too cool.
