Impressive. I don't get why people are miffed about the combined mode thighs hanging off the back of the leg bots, they're not too obtrusive.

Human nature. We become accustomed to a certain standard and forget how lucky we are.

The fact is these are poseable Predacons with legs that separate & yet they still combine... but we've become accustomed to less kibble nowadays.

I'm super impressed with this offering & can't wait for my set!

Predaking's thighs are a bit obtrusive on Tantrum's and Headstrong's robot mode, but people also need to remember that Predaking is the same size as CW Devastator using only 5 Voyager size Transformers. Devastator is made up of 6. Basically the toy needs to do something to make up the additional bulk and size being literally one man shorter than the Constructicons. Because the alternative would be a smaller Predaking and people would still complain.

Aaahh, fans.

I can’t say I’m too impressed with how the individual Predators look, though they stay pretty true to their original incarnations I guess. Predaking looks pretty good.

I look forward to picking this lot up to have a play

Firstly, I thought Hasbro was all about pre-applied stickers these days. So I'm actually surprised that they are customer applied.

As for the thighs. While I appreciate the attempt to minimise kibble by putting them on backs of Tantrum and Headstrong, ultimately I feel it only hurts the individual robot modes. If I were designing the set I would have actually rather gone with kibble over putting it on their backs. After all it wouldn't be the only kibble in the set.
