Beast Wars! Twenty years ago, the television series and toy line gave Transformers fans, not a new world of Autobots and Decepticons, but one of raging beasts that converted into Heroic Maximal and Evil Predacon warriors! Led by the namesakes of Optimus Prime and Megatron, these Transformers explored worlds of stories that no one had previously thought possible. And while Optimus Primal, Rhinox, Cheetor, Rattrap, Dinobot, Airazor, Tigatron on-board the crashed Axalon, and Megatron, Scorponok, Waspinator, Terrorsaur, Blackarachnia, and Rampage on the broken Darksyde captivated audiences on a weekly basis, other characters stirred the imagination as well. Characters with their own agendas...
As they sat aboard their own personal space station orbiting Cybertron, the Tripredacus Council seemed to defy Maximal Intelligence in every way. Shrouded in mystery and shadows cast by a single hanging lamp, this trinity of high-ranking Predacons plotted their own path to restoring greatness to the Predacon faction. While fans never saw them in combined form on the show, we know that the Predacons General Seaclamp, Cicadacon, and Ramhorn combined to form the fearsome and towering Tripredacus!
Of course, what good is a conspiracy without operatives to carry it out? And the Predacon Council had some of the best operatives for that task! Working as a covert specialist for the Tripredacus Council, Ravage was described as one of the few Generation 1 Decepticon warriors who was rebuilt and reprogrammed... as a Predacon. Given new stealth abilities and one of the Predacon’s most advanced ships, Ravage made his presence known shortly after his arrival on ancient Earth by capturing the renegade Predacon Megatron and dispersing his troops. Although the crafty Megatron soon turned the tides back on the famous feline with his own manipulation and offer, Ravage soon made his true loyalties known - “Decepticons Forever!”
But the former Decepticon wasn’t the only one who had previously sworn loyalty to the Council. Sly, secretive, and scheming, Predacon Secret Police Lieutenant Tarantulas had been a mole inside of Megatron’s crew from the very beginning! Turning into a disgusting, giant spider with the ‘occasional’ mad scientist tendencies and personality gave fans a character the likes they had never seen before in the Transformers mythos.
As BotCon 2016 celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the Beast Wars TV series and toy line, fans can relive these great characters through new toys and a new story! With FIVE new head sculpts spread across the box set and utilizing the awesome Combiner Wars molds from the Transformers Generations toy line, Voyager Class SEACLAMP, Deluxe Class RAMHORN, Deluxe Class CICADACON, Deluxe Class RAVAGE, and Deluxe Class TARANTULAS are ready to join fans’ Beast Wars shelves individually OR joined together as the unstoppable Predacon Battle Master PREDACUS!
