Hasbro POTP Predaking official images

[dirge]

I've never done this whole midnight sale thing. I will for this, if needed.

[hYpNoS]

I still feel off about buying this, the torso on the combined mode looks weak, the stickers in general, and its also a slight tad shorter than devastator, the worst and move unforgivable part are headstrong and tantrum's robot mode kibble, even takara pictures show it and doesn't look like it can stow away neatly (don't even think takara could fix that regardless without a total redesign

I forgave trypticon's size because he was a solid effort despite that, this just makes me question what's going on since this brand merger, its looking more like takara just saving money in general even though people were willing to pay for.

I hope reviews pop up before he's released here, I'd love me a predaking but not quite like this

Headstrong and Tantrum Torox (wtf) look like they're out partying 80's style with a boombox on shoulder.

And they look as though they'd beefed up on serious weight in alt mode. Not in a good way.

Do we have any idea what this is going to cost?

I'm really hoping that TakaraTomy do the same as they did with the Constructicons, and give the Predacons individual hand weapons and swords (and a big sword for Predaking)... but it doesn't look good if the entire POTP line so far are just identical releases to the Hasbro versions.

At the risk of being ostracized by the community, I find these to be a bit meh. Apart from articulation, I think the G1 figs (and combined mode) look way better.

These seem very blocky, and again PotP figs fail to deliver proper weapons too. I mean, what the hell guns have poor Headstrong and Tantrum been lumbered with? And to make it worse, they also have Predaking's thighs hanging off their backs.
Disappointing.
Still, I could be convinced depending on price...

Nah, I'm with you, I really like the Taktomy Titan class Devestator despite already having an unofficial Deveestator, and I really wanted to get behind this guy too, and put him on my MP shelf, but I just can't get behind this guy for the reported price anyway.

The beast modes look worse than the G1 toys, and I know they have made sacrifices for the combined mode, but I don't think the pay of in combined mode is enough to justify those brick beasts.

Beast modes are too compromised, and the back kibble on the legs in robot mode? AND, where are the fist spikes as per the art? And repurposing the robot guns as the combined guns make them very puny.

^^This for me. I was really hoping for an 'as close as we'll get to MP' style design a la Devastator and TR Sixshot, but the set looks awful IMO.

Re. the guns, it looks like Razorclaw's cannon and Rampage's gun can combine for Predaking mode, but these photos just don't have them combined. So, you know...it's a bit less puny.
