Depends on whether you prefer resemblance to G1 (UT) or updated-but-different-design (MMC).
Personally I'm going for the MMC version (they're not especially faithful to the originals, but they look amazing), but if you want G1 accuracy with better posability then UT would be the way to go. TBH if the budget stretches far enough then I'll get both sets.

That said, maybe wait on reviews once people actually have them in-hand...right now it's all just a few pics on the internet.

I share very similar thoughts to Odey here, personally I already own a G1 Predaking so I'll be going for the MMC set. ;):cool:

I'm going for MMC easily despite less accurate G1 alt-modes. I welcome the update and consistency, since Green Giant and FP Colossus's individual robot modes are also different to their G1 incarnations.

Im looking forward to seeing some side by side comparisons.
Ill have to wait till these are out first though.
I don't know which one I'll pick them again ive only seen mmc version.

While the UT ones look pretty cool I do have to say they sort of look like a "What if Hasbro/TakTomy made the Predacons with todays technology".
Which in itself isn't a bad thing, but seeing as I only just bought the 2010 reissue Predacons if I was going to buy one or the other I'd probably get the MMC one.
But if the complete set ends up being a bargain basement price I might end up reconsidering.

Okay this is a quick review on the new not Divebomb. He is deluxe size and really
does have the G1 look and feel. This I do like so it was that and the price that made me get this over MMs version. The Botmode has all the standard modern articulation. Waist, shoulders, elbows, head, ball jointed hips, Leg swivel. knees. the wings are great. Each feather can move and the wing can move up and down and in and out.

The Bird mode.. Well its more or less the same as G1, But again with articulation.
The Head moves and the mouth can open. The wings can move around same as bot mode and the legs can move. Each Bird foot has three articulated claws. I think that was a nice touch.

Arm Mode.. Looks quite nice, and has a full range of movement. Its about as long as the Hercules Devastator Arms. But with less bulk. The Hand is fantastic. Sharp spikes and fully articulated. Every part of each finger moves. Hands down BEST Combiner hand ever :D

Plastic... Its all hard plastic as in none of the softer plastic. So feels a little brittle. But not cheap and nasty like that $100 Impossible Toys Arcee that came out. Divebomb is not going to shatter if you drop him. But does feel a little cheaper than a Fansproject figure.....But they are the best so that not fair... It feels better in hand than most modern Hasbro figures.

If you can afford it I would recommend the MMs versions. We all know they are amazing. But if your on a bit of a budget and want one real nice Predaking (Cause I think thats going to be this sets strong point) Get this set.

Thanks for the review! This Predaking set does seem like a perfectly good alternative for those that want a more 'G1' articulated Predaking.

The arm mod does look amazing.

Not-Razorclaw prototype pics up at tformers.com.
Alt-mode looks pretty decent but bot mode is let down by the oversized lion head for his chest. Aside from the oversized lion head/chest both modes are noticeably less faithful to G1 than Not-Divebomb, not that that's necessarily a bad thing here.

It's still MMC by a long shot for me.

Yeah the Lion head is huge. I will be getting this. Im committed now cause I have Divebomb. This kitty will make a great Predaking chest. And look this Razorclaw has arms....As in the G1 had arms like stumps :D Hope they release the next one soon.
