Looks awesome. But I don't want him with guns on his back. I hope they come off.

Bot mode makes him look like he's dancing. :DANCE:

I wonder if I'll have Predaking by X-mas... :-?

This alone makes this set a winner. Love how sleek the lion mode looks!

Looks like Predaking's waist kibble can come off Razorclaw's alt mode, which is good.

Uh-oh. Are they that close? Could we get hit with a couple of figures bam-bam? My credit card and accountant are not going to like that.

Good to see the prototypes!

Do both figures use the same arm design, just reversed?

Kinda looks that way. It makes an amount of sense. These are forming very similar leg pieces, and the overall shape of the rhino and bull are not far from each other. (And it could help save us some costs too!)

The hind quarters do look different.

They share the same body mold with some personal tweaks. One of the sculptors accidentally discovered that you could turn one upside-down to make them look more different. But that's old news. What they're showing off here is that they made new hooves. They used to share a single, non-split design, now they're more accurate to their animal origins. MMC said they listen to their fans.

I think that's new info for this board, so thanks! (I certainly don't remember that tidbit, and I've been following the project here since the beginning.)

Also, I love the fact that MMC is making these for fans by listening to the fans. :APPLAUSE:

I can't agree more! TFC could learn a few things from these guys

Great looking stuff and I can't wait to see some team pics!

Now I'm interested in seeing how the 6th member looks... Gotta admit, I'm partially concerned it'll be a straight repaint of Rampage. Regardless of how the 6th looks though, these are the epitome of updated Predacons. Bravo, MMC! :APPLAUSE:

Cool pics!

These new color renders are nice, but I'm ready to at least see a date for Headstrong/Tantrum (can never remember which one's which or which one we're seeing first). Initial reports said they'd ship Q2 2013, which I think we can all predict is no longer the case unless they arrive and ship in the next ten days. So I'd like a new projection of when we can expect these to be ready. Doesn't have to be immediately, but we've seen solid test shots of the feet at least, so surely something's going to be ready soon.

Looks like all five have been finalised

So hopefully more pre-orders will be up soon and the first one or two will be released in the next month :PRAY:

6th member has to be Ravage, right? "Mercenary/Surveillant" I wonder what the color scheme is going to be. Mostly black and grey? I am loving those pics, even the Dancing Leo. :lol:
