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?
Beast Hunters is coming. Well played Mayans.

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.

Well now that's just ugly.

I'm feeling like I did with Beast Wars.
Great show.
Awful toys.

Transformers Prime really didn't need to go and do this, at least not yet.

Because Predaking is a good name for a Predacon Leader? We don't need a full blown remake of G1 up in here.

We knew it was part of Transformers Prime not long after we saw they applied for the trademark. Nothing new in that regard.

They've proven with Vehicon that they're capable to take plenty of what should be ugly kibble and put it elsewhere.

3. Massively shellformer. Mammoth Big Convoy anyone?


Ahem........that was in the 90s. Not long after Brickformers. Don't compare those turtles to our present-day beast transformers.

Our most recent beast transformer:

We haven't had many shellformers since Beast Wars/Machines, and the numbers reduced further during Cybertron. You could count this piece of frozen crap-in-a-box:

I do have to admit that I agree on one point, Beastformers tend to have rather uninspired transformation schemes. But it's also been quite a long time since they put beastformers to the grind, I'm looking forward to some new and awesome molds!

They tend to be lazy on the transformations, I'll give you that, but having an alt mode that does more than roll is a huge plus.
