Transformers Prime Beast Hunters "Predacons Rising" Exclusives Revealed

I like that blue Predaking!

I like them all but I only want the ones that represent new characters. I would love to get "Fire-cryo-bs name" Predaking and name him Cryotech.

Also, do you guys see any homages? Please let the rest know, I see Thunderclash.

I really like the color deco on Sky Lynx. My only problem with it is that it's a Predacon and not an Autobot like the true Sky Lynx is. Did Michael Bay have something to do with naming this one?

I also like the Cyberverse Legion Beast Hunters 2 packs (minus yet another BB) with a new deco of Blight (they couldn't come up with a different name?) and a new deco of Ripper-Snapper called Cindersaur. I just wish they'd make three more 2 packs that would include new decos of Windrazor, Hun-Gurr, and Twinstrike so we can make yet another whole new deco of Abominous.

Sky Lynx! Too bad that mold isn't impressive. Soundwave would've been a better choice, I think. Naturally, Sky Lynx uses only the most impressive, most elegant, most well-design mold ever created. He is clearly the highlight of not only this line of exclusives, but the entire Prime universe!

..............*cough*
His color scheme is pretty damn bitchin'. Probably would never, uh, "transform" him, so to speak.


Wish they gave Bombshock there a totally different color scheme. He's not all that different from Hardshell.

New sub-line, called it.

Some of these look fantastic! Oh, and cindersaur homage, nifty.

Surprise! Sky Lynx in this continuity is a bad guy!

Anyone else seeing a Thunder Clash inspired deco in that Cyberverse Optimus?

The Dark Steel redeco of Grimwing reminds me of Slicer. Odd.

Also odd is that now there are three different versions of Blight, and only Blight. Might consider getting Cindersaur.

thank primus its target & not TRU, there are a few there that i like but would never pay TRUs prices for them. At least with target they price them like they were just normal toys not exclusives. Now just have to hope the prices dont jump back up

holy poop!

Tesco exclusives! I might be able to get these for retail price!
some great looking colour schemes as well.
lets run down the list:

Gummi Abominus - yeah, okay, if the price is decent and probably only if I can't pick up the rest of the regular coloured ones before this comes out.

Beast Fire Predaking - I don't see any difference? Probably pass.

Prime and Predaking Commander 2-pack - not really keen on Prime, but very tempted by the Giant Purple Griffon!

Shockwave and Bombsock Commander 2-pack - yeah, probably get it for the bug. Really nice colours. Casper Van Dien is scared! That Shockwave isn't bad either.

Deluxe Yellow Bee - Pass!

Deluxe Sky Lynx Beast! - Beast is right. Love those colours and had been considering the original just because it looks like an interesting toy. Now I can get a better looking version. Definitely not my Sky Lynx stand-in but I'm sure I can repurpose him or just make up a new name.

Bumblebee and Blight Legion 2-pack - Hell yeah! Bee isn't yellow, which is a start I suppose. Otherwise he's completely skippable, but dammit, Dat Blot! He looks like the Battle Beast Gorilla guy! Ave it!

Smokescreen and Cindersaur Legion 2-pack - More Hell! More Yeah! Smokey looks nice in his Retro-80s-G1-inspired ensemble, the wee fashion-plate he is, but this is all about the Cindy! I nearly went looking to see if I could get the Cindersaur Botshot because of Nostalgia(TM) so I'm very happy to get a nicely coloured homage, and one that's part of a combiner as well? EVEN BETTER!

Cryotek Predaking - looks nice. A definite maybe.

Dark Steel - very nice colours. A little off to be the Classics BW Silverbolt I might have liked, but that's a great paintjob, so I'll probably find a way to fit him into my collection somehow.


Overall, very excited by these. Colours on a lot of them that I like much more than the original releases, and will push me over the edge on buying, and some of those colours so nice that I now want toys I really didn't care for at all before. Really hope they do the rest of Abominus in wildly different colours. Now that we've got Cindersaur I'd love Air/wing/thingy (Cutthroat) to get the Flamefeather colours, which sadly does only leave Sinnertwin or Hungrr for the Sparkstalker colours, unless the red Blight is close enough?

They did it with Predaking's original inspiration, so why not?:

Why does Bombshock have a Predacon symbol instead of a Decepticon one? And why do the Abominus parts all have the wrong weapons?

Eh, whatevs. Liking the looks of most of these, they seem like decent recolors. I may pick them up.
