It's that time of the day again when something gets in the way of production planning, and images are shown before they're intended to be shown. The news cycle is what it is, and so we're reporting what appears to be an image of a mockup from the Transformers: Power of the Primes toyline, featuring a potentially Titan sized Predaking figure, next to a smaller Megatron which fits the recently seen Cyber Series design and was part of the previous leaks under the 4.5 inch simplified value chain figures.

The source appears to be 4chan, though at the time of writing the original link could not be found, but the background of the image does indeed show the correct font and beginning of the line's name. Check it out for yourselves below, and stay tuned next week for official information about upcoming new toys from Hasbro and Hascon!

The final gallery left for now from New York Comic Con 2017 has to do with the sensational reveal of the stunning new combiner figure from the Transformers Power of the Primes line, in its majestic Titan class: Predaking... well, the wings that will be part of Predaking, which also seem compatible with Dinobot Volcanicus, too.

Adding to what we've previously seen about the Predacon combiner - i.e. the size and colour model, and the Live Reveal Of The Wings - the images below show them hanging out with the rest of the NYCC 2017 reveals. Check them out!

Now if only Swoop could do the same thing. But those are some pretty big and awesome wings!

With a few clear rubber bands (or some clever Shapeways designworks)you'll probably be able to put those wings on many other figures. Power of the Primes Power Surge Optimus Prime

Damn, this might actually be good! Though I must say those wings are VERY reminiscent of MMC's take on Predaking. Not that that's a bad thing, that guy looked awesome in gestalt mode.

To be fair, MMC's Feral Rex take one Predaking is very reminiscent of Hasbro's Predaking :-P

It's a shame Swoop's wings don't come off as they'd look nice on the Dinobot combiner's back.

The wings really opens up a lot of questions. Is this the front or the back? It matches mostly the back of the G1 figure, but has what looks like a pop out tab for connecting to the body. Why is the tail looking part so thick and why is it slotted? For that matter why is the tail connected to the wings in the first place? I would think if that slot is for attaching Razorclaw's massive gun it would have to be on Divebomb. In the closeup image it looks like the wing portion and tail aren't all that well connected, you can see a gap. I wonder if the tail slips in there in bot and bird mode, but in combined mode it stays on Divebomb? I hope Divebomb has big heals because he's going to be very back heavy.

Surprising absolutely no-one, but always nice to have more confirmation, Australian toy retailer and distributor The Little Toy Company has posted pre-order listings for the third wave of Transformers: Power of the Primes, plus the latest offering from Hasbro in the Titan class category: Power of the Primes Predaking!

The combined mode of the Predacons, featuring for sure the wings of Divebomb and the other Voyager class figures Rampage, Tantrum, Headstrong and Razorclaw (says the listing), is listed at 195 AUS$ (approximately 153 USD at the time of writing).

If you look closely enough you can see the silhouette of the lion head on his chest. It seems a bit small if I'm honest, but overall I'm just glad to see that Razorclaw isn't too small.

Posted by Jelze Bunnycat on February 14th, 2018 @ 12:09pm CST

How much you wanna bet Headstrong and Tantrum only got their names back thanks to a "Predacon" prefix, after "Headlock" and "Torox"? Not that I mind that

From the silhouette it's quite surprising Predaking looks proportionate. I wonder how they did the torso Razorclaw?

I’m not ready for the complaints about how hallow he looks or his fingers are one solid piece with a knuckle hinge like devastator.

What I do see is slight variations in brightness, the image is not 100% black throughout.

I have tentatively high hopes for this.

While I like my MMC Predaking, I feel that at this point, something with better engineered hips in combined mode could well replace it.

Looks promising so far, not weirdly bloated or blocky like I was expecting! Elbows look kinda strange, but there's not much to be seen from this. Hyped for the full reveal!

I hope only one thing ! Prey to god Pand crossed my fingers OTP Predaking will be not so bad like Hung-rr that cannot be saved except a 3rd party figure or a heavy 3rd party addon !

I can barely make out the shape and size of Razorclaw's lion head... and it look really tiny! With the mane it could be covering the chest, but the abdomen would be left bare.

I'll take it! It will be nice to have an official updated Predaking. Just like Devy, I'll take whatever limitations where imposed on the individuals as long as the combined mode is fun, since that's what he will be in 90% of the time.

Posted by steals_your_goats on February 14th, 2018 @ 5:09pm CST

So is it just me or does the scaling seem really off? They said it's 5 voyager figures but unless the limbs make up the entire leg (not just knee down) and the arms make up a bit of the torso Razorclaw is going to be MASSIVE and Divebombs wings will be too big for his body.

Nice, you can see some of the details, of the lion head and the hands look strange almost built in!

Should be the star, as, if it's anything like the others, this should be out at the beginning of summer, so it should be a near production model I think.

Posted by Emerje on February 15th, 2018 @ 11:59pm CST

Looking good. The torso appears to extend which probably would keep Razorclaw just a bit bigger than the rest, not necessarily Leader sized. Between the extending torso and non-integrated feet he should be more than capable of getting to Devastator's 18". One advantage these guys have is they don't need extra joints to form their combiner parts (aside from maybe Razorclaw) so they should have normal articulation and no missing standard joints like elbows.

I agree that we should be seeing this at Toy Fair. Hopefully Hasbro gives us a preview Friday.

Directly from the floor at Times Center in New York City, at the Hasbro showroom part of New York Toy Fair 2018, we have a couple of Power of the Prime full reveals at least, as seen in the panel coverage posted here.

In this post, we share his majesty Predaking, the fully combined Predacon team, consisting of the five voyagers Divebomb, Headstrong, Rampage, Tantrum Torox, and team leader Razorclaw. We have a couple of shots from the table, though better galleries will appear later this evening, including close ups of the limbs and the table's surroundings. Check it out below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

I don't mind him. He's definitely slimmed down since his G1 days, which makes me wonder if Hasbro is now into body shaming (considering poor Moonracer and her Prime Master gimmick)

But it isn't good at all. The individual robots and beasts look like trash, the combined mode is a mess proportionally, there's stickers everywhere because apparently tampographs ain't in the budget anymore, the fingers are inexcusable for that size, and there isn't even a sword.

Generations is dead.

But hey, at least the Studio Series looks good.

After seeing Hasbros official pics of Predaking, I retract my earlier statement.

It looks like they've modelled him on the Kre-O version. And I don't know how they did it, but they've made the individual modes blockier than G1.

Re: Rumoured Transformers: Power of the Primes Predaking Mockup (1939811)
Posted by Lore Keeper on February 17th, 2018 @ 3:37pm CST

The toy does indeed seem to be missing a sword. I suppose it shouldn't be surprising. None of the PotP combiners have had dedicated weapons so far. This may just be the direction Hasbro decided to go.

Re: Rumoured Transformers: Power of the Primes Predaking Mockup (1939815)
Posted by Emerje on February 17th, 2018 @ 3:42pm CST

So is this Onyx exclusive to Predaking or is this our only Onyx and we wont get one with a shell?

I like these, I'd say they're on par with what we've gotten from the rest of Prime Wars. They aren't MPs, we should have always expected beasts just as unarticulated as Alpha Trion. After what Hasbro did to Devastator this feels like an improvement. I do hope Takara Tomy repackages him for Unite Warriors being a Titan (like they did with Trypticon for Legends) and toss in some weapons (like they did for Devastator).

That was a product of the time. If they’re not doing it for any of the power of primes figure they’re not gonna do it for predaking. It’s not happening. If it shares the gimmick of enigmas and primemasters you can guarantee it’ll be in the same box and be the same toy. Just like how it’s been going and just like Trypticon was.
