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? :-?

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.

Cyberverse Airachnid > Deluxe Ariachnid.
No surprise there.

Loving Bumblebee, Wheeljack and Soundwave. More than that, Omega, and Prime are musts.

Other than that, think Predaking looks interesting, but he reminds me a lot of R.I.D Bruticus for some reason.

I wonder about Omega's head. The original Energon Omega Supreme was a Headmaster, I am curious if this one is too. Where does the spot where Omega's head attaches to end up on the toy when in vehicle mode?

Here's an angle, although I doubt this is what Hasbro's doing: If Shockwave built them, perhaps because he's not actually Primus/VectorS Sigma/Allpark/Dues Machina he can't build the kind of complex lifeforms that he himself is. Surgeons can replace organs in humans, but they can't build an actual human. What if Cybertronian physiology is fundamentally the same?

To quote Arcee and Jack "You turn into a motor cycle, don't you know how to build one?

Your a human Jack, can you build me a small intestine?"

Or, maybe, deep down, Shockwave is really a psychopathic whack-job with a secret passion for monsters.

Shockwave didn't/couldn't have created the Predacons, as they already existed long before the current generation of Cybertronians. The Predacons are like the Cybertron equivalent of dinosaurs, in that they were Cybertron's first ancient race and were said to have been destroyed in a great cataclysm.

How they return, however, will be revealed in the show.

All i see is that a majority of these "new figures" are repaints and retools.

If Hasbro thinks that's what i want they have not been paying much attention.

So let me tell Hasbro what i want, i want proper remakes of the G1 Headmasters and Targetmasters for my Classics collection, a Deluxe Class Classic Blaster and a Voyager Class Classic Galvatron. I woulden't mind a DOTM Leader Class Megatron either, i think Hasbro even promised us that he would come. Now that we are talking DOTM, release Leadfoot and Soundwave for Alpha Trion's sake that's what i really want.

Funny thing...for years now, I've been using my Cybertron Scourge figure as the leader of a new Predacon faction under the name of "Predaking" (long story short: the gestalt broke free of Razorclaw and Co. and gained his own body). Now Hasbro introduces a new Predacon faction led by a bot based on Cybertron Scourge who is named "Predaking."

Either Hasbro is stripmining my imagination without me knowing it...AGAIN...or I can officially see the future.

Are there no images of the Leader Predaking? That one looked particuarly interesting.
Or was it just the Voyager, with different paint apps?

While I find the three "retools" interesting, I'm not sure I want to replace the current cast members on the shelf. I might just focus on the beasts from now on.
With that said, Lazerback looks really really interesting.

The symbol, however, confuses me: Image

That doesn't look like the Beast Hunter symbol at all. Is it a pre-production one?

Predaking is the only thing that might interest me. If there's a leader class I'll probably get that instead though.

Isn't anyone going to complain that Omega Supreme only has one hand?

1. There will be a leader version of Predaking, as shown from the photos of the girl holding him at NYCC

2. Nobody's gonna complain about Omega because he's NEVER had 2 hands, just the claw-hand on his right arm and a blaster arm for his left one. It's always been that way. Why complain now about a toy not having any real hands when it's of a character who's never had any real hands to begin with?

The one we saw in the photos before the stock photos in the 1st post showed up was the leader Predaking.

90% of that is crap. Is this really what kids are wanting from toys? Thank you Hasbro, thanks to crap like this I can afford Encore Fort Max, Masterpieces and of course the resident four letter word, third party products (ok, not 4 letters but it makes the point). I like the show but I hope the Prime toyline dies very soon.

After reading all the replies it looks like I'm in the group way over to the right that likes.

I cant believe myself that I'm gonna say this but that Bumblebee looks all kinda of awesome in bot mode. I'm a huge Beast Wars fan so this new Beast Hunters direction I'm looking forward to. Omega Supreme look great but that damn open mouth plate is a big turn off on Optimus(looks like he's got a huge ass smile from telling himself a joke). I'm wondering if they will work in the Maximals somehow.
:-?

Not a big fan of the Kreo stuff and the Cyberverse stuff. :MAXIMAL:

Thank you, Hasbro, for giving me the opportunity to save up to get Takara's stuff. I can't believe that I was worried that you guys might come up with something that might make me change my mind on Fortress Max :lol: . The only thing I see that I want right now is Soundwave. I may get Omega AFTER Max is in my hands. He does look cool, though. Never was a Beast Wars toy fan, except Megatron, so those guys will be a PASS. MAYBE leader Predaking, if I like seeing it in person. Optimus Prime- well if I see him WAY on down the road, and there is nothing else out for me to get during that time, then maybe.

Just how many "new" figures are actually coming out? I see more repaint/retool than actual new figures. Are we not seeing everything? And I guess that the "Platinum Edition" transformers will most likely be nothing but repaints/retools. No surprise there, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see then. *sigh* At least Takara is producing stuff to look forward to. :DANCE:

I want ALL those deluxes, Predaking, and Omega Supreme. It looks like every character in Prime is going to get "Wrecker - fied".

Wait. LEADER Predaking? Image link? The one at the preview night on the white stand?

Hmm... it looked similar to the Voyager in the presentation.

It has weapons under its wings, the wings themselves are black and orange, rather than just orange, and is much bigger.

Weird, so makes three versions? Cyberverse Commander, Voyager and now Leader?

Apparently so, yes.

If the Leader version is real, I might just have to go for it.
I'm not that impressed by the Voyager.
