BH Voyager Wave 5 packaging images

Wave 5 Voyagers, as some know, is the up-sized Cmder class wave of Optimus and Predaking... and it seems that we still have some wait for them to be released in December (Wave 4 with Sharkticon Megatron was released way back in June, globally).
So even if we see them here, it won't be until the new year.
A small image of them in packaging can be seen here though.

Note, that despite the "cheap" nature of just upsizing previous toys by two size-classes, these are bigger than regular Voyagers (which can be noticed by how tightly they fit into their Voyager class boxes).
So for those who don't have the original moulds of these two toys, this wave of Voyagers (and the corresponding wave of upsized, over-sized Deluxes) will be better value for that price point than previous waves.

While Optimus is pretty obviously an upsizing of his Commander class mold, Predaking has significant differences: the wings are different, the transformation of the dragon head looks different, the back legs are different in dragon mode, the leg transformation into robot mode is different. My opinion is that while Optimus isn't worth it because of being just an upsized Cyberverse toy, Predaking seems to be a new figure and thus might be worth it as a "budget" large Predaking - I believe it's nearly as big as Ultimate Predaking! Plus, the translucent plastic, which it looks from these pics as if they are using, is slightly more show accurate in colour. I hope these do arrive here because I am in favour of that Predaking.

Wow! Its great to see some new characters in the Prime Beast Hunters line!:).........................NOT!:mad:

And they're selling these for the same price as a previous voyagers?

I'd say so, if not a few bucks cheaper like BBTS have compared to older Voyagers like Magnus. $27 vs $30

in addition to the voyagers, images via Seibertron of the oversized deluxes Bumblebee, Smokescreen, Twinstrike & Windrazor

Notice how they are highlighting the simple transformations in '5 steps', keeping with the lines new direction.

What wave is Sky Lynx in? Or is he a USA Target exclusive (I vaguely remember reading that somewhere but could be wrong)?

Hmmm, I wonder if Takara will have Windrazor and Twinstrike in more appealing colours? Those colours are ghastly.:eek:

Thats right. From the supposedly Target exclusive Predacons Rising subline.
DLX Wave 1 is Sky Lynx
DLX Wave 2 is Nova Blast Bumblebee

Is that Target - everywhere, or Target - USA (like many of the Animated figures)?

Yea, I guess we won't see them. Hasbro AU told me that we should be seeing the commander two packs in Big W and the rest in Target and that was supposed to be here mid September.

Cheers my 2-headed font of info :)

I really like that Predaking. Way cooler looking than the original one. (The original Beast Hunters Voyager, that is)
