I notice LaserBack and Sinnertwin have a different faction symbol than the one that was revealed yesterday. Early production photos or second beast faction? Or does Predaking get the revealed insignia all to himself?

I'm loving the Sinnertwin figure, but I'm not sure what to think of Predaking.

Predaking is an awesome looking figure, but the name is what bugs me for once. With a name like Predaking, I expect a freaking combiner.

Omega Supreme looks amazing and I can't wait to get it.

What a truly ugly selection of toys that is. Messy, ill-considered designs and remolds and sickening colour schemes. Yuck.
A couple of the existing Prime designs are quite nice, but this next wave is a disaster. Imagine what these are going to look like without the carefully applied Photoshop sheen they have in these pictures.
They look like someone vomited coloured plastic.

Oh, what I'd kill for a couple more Classics right now - at the appropriate size, of course. A Trailbreaker maybe. Or a nice Springer.
Hasbro, please take your plastic dragon and stick it up your arse.

Somewhat excited for Prime (especially the Cyberverse), not so much Kre-O. Also, with 'Beast' Hunters being the new thing, anyone think Airachnid might return?

Omega Supreme alllllmost makes me regret blowing most of my money on Encore Fort Max. Almost. Prime, not so much. I'll wait for eBay, unless they're actually sold separately.

Has anyone noticed the Omega Supreme has retooling to resemble WFC Omega Supreme? I really like it. I hear everyone talking about a Laserbeak but I don't see one

I think they mean LaserBack.

Personally I think Laserback looks atrocious.

Wheeljack - yes
Bumblebee - maybe
Twinstrike - maybe (if there ends up being a deluxe, I'll have that instead)
Laserback - yes (reminds me of G1 Cindersaur)
Soundwave - probably (liking the new deco and remolding, don't really care about Ravage)
Smokescreen - gimme a deluxe and we'll talk, I won't do Cyberverse (Scout/Basic) for a character like that
Platinum Omega Supreme - Yes, but only if he looks anywhere near as good as the photoshopped custom paint job they show him in, otherwise no
Ripclawstrike - Why do you have to be made of Lego Kreo? I would have bought you :(
Voyager Predaking - yes, now show me the bot mode already Mr Scourge err...Bruticus err...Flame Convoy err...whatever, I like dragons, so gimme that :P

And g1 predaking is still close to the top of my must haves... Not to mention the insecticons.. Also beast wars was such a great show...and high moon concocted a decent dinbots origins story..

So any misgivings logic tells me to have, I'm curious to see the new direction prime will take. Also I'd like to see a back story for the organic tf's in prime like airachnid and the insecticons.

I'm just glad there won't be many interesting prime toys so I might somehow find enough for the g1 goodness ie fortress maximus and the masterpieces... Though that predaking intrigues me and they seem to enjoy teasing us with him by not showing the roboto mode.


Honestly, I can relate with what you have just said. Because when I was a kid, I had Shrapnel. And lets say that his joints became loose, the metallic paint started coming off, a part of him broke, and I lost his weapons. That, and the Dinobots were one of the two reasons why I did not like Beast Wars. So when it comes to Beast Hunters, we are on the same page. I am anxious to see how it turns out, even though as we speak, I am uncertain what my 2013 holds.

But with the rest... I am not sure how I feel. I like the new Omega Supreme, and wonder what series he is going to be in. Predaking is interest, but he cannot beat my G1 badboy when it comes the idea of owning him. And also, why does the combination of this and Fort Max make me hope that Takara Tomy reissues the Terrorcons and Gnaw? :-?
Slimming down my collecting in favor of refocusing on both Japanese exclusive G1 (re)issues (1985-1987) and Super GT pieces. All profits from the pieces I sell will go towards getting my "Encore" Fortress Maximus graded by AFA (current estimate: $200, before shipping).

PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR WHAT I HAVE FOR SALE!!!.

Thank you. (^_^)v

So I definitely want the Voyager Predaking! He will look great with my many other beastformers! I will only buy Laserback if he's in the show. The rest are very iffy for me. They're not quite different enough...although I didn't buy PRID BB and this mold does look better. I just don't know yet, but I won't be preordereing. Also, it looks like Ravage fits into Soundwave's chest just like Laserbeak did on the PRID mold. Not sure though.
