Official Images: Transformers Prime "Beast Hunters" Deluxe Ripclaw

Am I the only one who thinks her head looks kinda like BW Inferno's?

I thought she was going to be grey, can't say I'm a fan of her real color scheme. Hmmmm, I'm really on the fence about this one. robot mode is okay but in beast mode the limbs look really awkward. I think I'll wait until she gets some reviews in before I decide

Looks more like BW Wolfang's mutant head, how he looked in the comics.

honestly don't know about some of these beast hunters figures, this one looks pretty interesting, maybe when seeing them in hand will have more of an idea, holding out for the new foc figures in uk too. It's gonna be an expensive year.

The symbol on her chest doesn't look right. Is it just me?

On another note, I might get all the Predacons, and ignore the spiky vehicles.

I've dated worse.... (In all seriousness - must buy)

Atleast we now know what Ser-ket's figure will look like. If we get him. Ripclaw just doesn't look female enough though.

WANT! So much WANT!

Look alright to me.

Ripclaw... the Christmas dragon!

Christmas SCORPION dragon, no less.

Looks alright, better than Lazerback. Still not sold on this line at all. The spiky vehicles are growing on me but I'm not picking them up if they're just new versions of the same figures I already have. So far it's just seeming like a good time for me to bow out of the collecting game for awhile and recoup my finances.

My interest in the candy colored monsters is quickly waning.

Looks like the dragon's head does drop into back kibble.

Ewww! the color scheme is terrible!
and she doesnt look female enough.
the figure also doesnt look to good either.
BUT, i will give the figure a chance.
ill wait til i see a review of her for my final choice.

Yeah, I hate it when you can't actually look at a toy and visibly TELL it's a female. The proportions need to match up.

That said, I generally hate the head-cowl look on a Transformer anyway. (Makes me think of the wolf and dog Beast Wars era.) It's like the toy line is trying to draw in the superhero-action-figure fans with the mask, proportions, and general spandex-tights look.

I'd rather they look like robots. Bulky, mechy, squared-off, G1-ish, robots... ala the fansproject Swindle bot.

But I digress.

Given, for a younger audience they are fun dragons and monsters. Though they're not for me, I do see that they're good animal designs and pleasing (albeit very bright) color schemes. I can see a lot of Beast Wars fans getting really excited.

you mean she doesn't look like another stereotype with boobs and high heels? Sound the alarm!

starwarrior1227 wrote:the figure also doesnt look to good either.

Looks about as decent as any average beast bot from the Beast Era, Cybertron, or Animated has ever looked.

starwarrior1227 wrote:BUT, i will give the figure a chance.

Yay.

Clunky, over-sized hand reminiscent of RiD X-Brawn, colors barely one notch above G2 color schemes. Looks like something spewed forth after a night of Jaeger bombs and Jello Shots.
All the vehicles in this line are nothing more than colorful rip-offs from the Mad Max films. I cannot see one redeeming point in this series whatsoever. I'm sure the 4 to 9 year olds will get a kick out of it but honestly, I cannot see what everyone else finds so appealing about any of these. I try to be open minded as far as the new toys are concerned but this new line just seems like a train wreck in progress. Those who do like them though, feel free to enjoy my share of them.

Not a fan of those colors.

Other than that, the mold actually looks decent. Not quite persuasive enough for me to snag her, but close.

That claw is a detachable hand-held weapon.

yeah im getting all the predicons.

I would not write off these figures by photos alone. The BH Figures so far have been great. The autobot remolds are more interesting than the originals they copy, and Lazerback is way better in hand than his photos come across. True, not all figures are for all collectors, but I am still so amazed at how much better 'bee turned out than the original pic indicated. The automatic write offs might just be missing out. But, to each their own

Sorry but this looks like it was designed and made by Fisher Price. It doesn't do much to change my opinion of 2013's lineup. Good news for those who want it, there will be at least one more available to buy.

I thought it was going to be grey too. Were the original photos/packaging that off? I like these colors two but if there's going to be a running variant/change I don't know which one to get.

How come Predaking and Laserback have the dragon head predacon symbol?
I think these colours suit the body type better than Ser-Ket, but his character sounds alot cooler, and to whoever is saying she doesn't look feminine- TFA Strika is female but she's as bulky as they come XD

1. If it was done correctly.And now that i look at her more, i dont think the colors could look better on the figure, meaning i think the choice of colors is a fail to begin with, and no, i dont hate the scheme.
2. I dont need boobs or high heels, it would just be a little bit more consistent if she looked more like a female.
3. Im not a fan of those either. My problems with her are her lack of wing mobility and what i fear is a lack of a neck or head joint. If the head can move up and down, i'll be fine.
4. .....

Yeah, I meant this one:

There are apparently two Predacon symbols this time around. Hopefully, we'll see what comes out of this, eventually.

OK, I'm missing something. Who's Ser-Ket?

Good gosh, that's a SHE?!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:OK, I'm missing something. Who's Ser-Ket?

Predacon character from Rage of the Dinobots.

Hey its Annihilus i didnt know he was in transformers

She looks so awesome! I think I'm in love.

Think I might wait until I see what Takara does, will they be Dragaon microns?

ausbot wrote:Think I might wait until I see what Takara does, will they be Dragaon microns?

If anything, they will be the weapons they wield here in America that transform in either animalistic forms similar to the Decepticons' Arms Microns or humanoid forms.

And the weird part is that one or more of the Jagex moderators overseeing Transformers: Universe appear to use the same emblem and variants of it. Predacons arriving to the upcoming MMO?

And now, through the power of Photoshop!

See, now if Hasbro or Takara had the sense to repaint Ripclaw into those colors, I would buy that. That actually looks really nice.

Reminds me of the prototypes of FOC Thundercracker and Kickback. But I hope Takara makes the toy look like it's from the show.

Fixed it for you.

With the exception of the retail version of the FOC Combaticons and their combined form Bruticus (first ones that comes to mind), Hasbro makes fiction-accurate toys as well. Takara just makes them a bit more detailed and shinier.

The colors look really bad compared to what we saw on the packaging. Ugh. The only thing that will motivate me to get this is if she appears in the show. Otherwise, I'll save for the possible Ser-Ket.

Further precedence for this character being female is that Ser-Ket is also a female.

How did I miss reading that?

wow what a bad color scheme

Hey, baby. Why don't you come on over and warm one of my shelves. It's cool. If your sister Ser-Ket sees a release she can join on in. As long as the price is right, my wife will understand...

Yeah, I'll stop now.

Lost it after "shelves".

Pass on this one as well, i rather save my money.

Because we just learned about it. Ultra Magnus called Ser-Ket a she in the latest Rage of the Dinobots issue.

I'm digging that beast mode. Great looking dragon. I'll most likely keep her in beast mode.

I agree. Seems to me this figure would have benefitted from double jointed knees. I also kinda like the robot mode, but as a Transformer, I find lacking. Too much "lean forward and roar" for me.

STngAR wrote:I'm digging that beast mode. Great looking dragon. I'll most likely keep her in beast mode.

Yeah, I feel the same way about Lazorback and voyager Predaking; they look really cool in their dragon modes. I think after I get a nice complete set of Preds I'll leave them in their beast modes in my Prime display.
