Every bit of non-dragon footage in that promo was old footage recycled from episode 1 and such.

we can't even get characters from prime like breakdown, or the jet vehicon or unicron.. so even if there was an insecticon made.. or a new mold smokescreen, there's no guarantee that we'd see them on our shelves. that's what has really killed TF:P for me.. not getting the characters from the show.. yet we've gotten quite a few repaints so far.
hopefully the beast aspect of it will draw my attention. that figure looks awesome... so it's working. but i really hope we get the figures that have already been made.

Oh, wonder if these Predacons will be a small band of bots like the original Predacons (and maybe even a combiner!) or a full army like the BW Preds, and if they'll be largely "real" creatures like both previous Predacon groups or more mythical like those ancient Decepticons in Cybertron were implied to be.
... I wonder if this guy being called Predaking had anything to do with the Kreon Combiner that is obviously meant to be the original Predaking not being called by his proper name?

Here's my two cents:
A - It looks brutal. I'm sure the pictures aren't doing it "justice" but I think it looks pure balls
B - They'll call him Deathsaraus

kinda wanted him to be a combiner -if he turns out to be ill be happy but other wise its only ok could be better. plus i have a feeling smokescreens going to buy it to recharge cybertron -as he isn't in the group shot this isn't a good sign -also can we get at least a few new bots -overall we have had a lack of new bots for a while now -id like to see a few new faces on the autobot team as well as the cons.

Because it's recycled footage of the first 5 episodes. Smokescreen wasn't part of the team then.

Ok, I'm in! guess now we know who that dragon head was in the "leaked" promo image from S. America back when we first heard about Beast Hunters... The figure has my attention! I'm a sucker for dragons, so add that to my love of TF's, and I'm sold!

Yeah it was some dragon character from a piece of Dungeons & Dragons artwork.
No joke.
But this, however, is the real deal.

No, that wasn't the same dragon, although he might have been intended to be a stand-in.
That was a just a dragon-thingy-abomination from Dungeons & Dragons:
After looking over the original poster, that says Fall 2013 and now it's Spring 2013. So happy for the date change.

Seems my relief over Prime not finishing was premature. Please let this be limited to only one 'beast'. Bad enough we already have Thundertron.
Animal forms have always made such bad toys.

I disagree. Thundertron is glorious.
From photos I've seen of this figure, the torso looks very Megatronesque, while the head is just generic Prime-sideburns style. With a see-through orange crest. I'm not sure how many dragon parts can be hidden though, afraid it'll be a kibble fest.
That will be the selling point, really.

I love beast modes, personally. I grew up on Beast Wars and I've been yearning for a return to some animalian alt modes. They don't have to ALL be creatures, of course, but some more than we've gotten is appreciated. And it seems that's exactly what we're getting.

Good grief, just when I was enjoying Transformers Prime they have to ruin it with Beast Bots. Robots in Disguise.....disguised as a bloody great monster. There are many more bots they could have dumped into Prime before scraping Beasts off the bottom of the barrel.
Having said that I do like the Dinobots so I have no consistency.

I said this back when we had the last-season-of-prime scare.
Animal forms make bad toys. Usually have one of 3 problems with their engineering.
1. Lots of animal leg kibble. Organic shaped legs just don't fold up into nice robot shapes.
2. Recycled limbs. Incredibly lazy transformations. Flip up the claws to form arms, straighten hind legs to form robot legs and those poor ankle ball-joints just can't take it when animal heads or wings are incorporated into the top heavy torso.
3. Massively shellformer. Mammoth Big Convoy anyone?

it will not be a continuation of Beast Machines or anything like that.
My hope is we'll get a Prime-verse version of Optimus Primal so we can have Prime(Cullen) and Primal (Chalk) fighting side by side.

Seriously, why PREDAKING? If it won't be a gestalt (and by the looks of that dragon, it won't be), why use a gestalt name in the first place?

It's the second, actually, if you consider Thundertron. But the lack of Insecticons is disappointing.
