Do you love your new Hercules set? Can't get enough of FansProject's items? Upset that you bought a knock off when you thought you were getting an original? Use this forum to tell everyone your thoughts about unlicensed and knock off TF products.

If it makes you feel better, there's technically no such thing as a saber-toothed tiger. Prehistoric saber-toothed cats aren't closely related to any modern species of cat, being instead a separate subfamily of Felidae along with the two subfamilies of cats that now exist. So a saber-toothed cat would be less related to either Razorclaw or Rampage than the two are to each other, as far as their relative locations in the animal kingdom. Granted, it's a retool of Rampage, so the biological differences between a saber-toothed cat and a modern tiger might not be well-reflected, but one can hope.

I deserved that! Somehow that little (rather important) detail slipped my mind when I made that post.
This strengthens the case for a hippo. Damn, now I'm going to be fantasizing about what could have been.

It probably wouldn't be too hard to sculpt a new hippo head for Tantrum. Of course, then Predaking might have 3 legs and one arm...

I agree with you on the Hippo idea. Those things are vicious. They may not be predators, but they will indiscriminately kill anything that enters there territory.

Yep, I've heard they're so aggressive that they cause more deaths in Africa than lions, rhinos, snakes and elephants combined. I think a hippo would make an excellent Predacon, yeeessss.

hippos also mark their territory by launching explosive **** out and then spinning their tail thus resulting in a wide area being covered in hippo ****. this would make a great weapon gimmick ala armada megatron's ultimate weapon attack.

I've also seen a Hippo steal a Zebra carcass from a Croc and ate it. Saw it on the Discovery Channel. Can't seem to find the clip but here is another clip form youtube. It's not as clear cause in the discovery I saw the Hippo swallow it whole...
Think HIPPO would be a great choice indeed.

It might work.
And yeah, TFC is

I think TFC's Ares is Bruticus. They wouldn't try to compete with MMC's Predaking. They'd have to put out a seriously stellar product just to get a decent market share and even then they'd probably split the sales pretty evenly, meaning less for each.
So, something about Divebomb's bird head seems off. Maybe I need to see it in color. I'm still sold, but....it's weird. The tail also doesn't look prominent enough from this angle. Ah well, I'm sure this will be fantastic regardless. BRING ON MORE!
