Is this 6th member a ferret? Oh what fun irony that would be.

If it makes you feel better, there's technically no such thing as a saber-toothed tiger. Prehistoric saber-toothed cats aren't closely related to any modern species of cat, being instead a separate subfamily of Felidae along with the two subfamilies of cats that now exist. So a saber-toothed cat would be less related to either Razorclaw or Rampage than the two are to each other, as far as their relative locations in the animal kingdom. Granted, it's a retool of Rampage, so the biological differences between a saber-toothed cat and a modern tiger might not be well-reflected, but one can hope.

But they're all still robots right?

Unlike Bulls and Rhinos.

Ouch. Just fact slapped someone!

I deserved that! Somehow that little (rather important) detail slipped my mind when I made that post.
This strengthens the case for a hippo. Damn, now I'm going to be fantasizing about what could have been.

It probably wouldn't be too hard to sculpt a new hippo head for Tantrum. Of course, then Predaking might have 3 legs and one arm...

I agree with you on the Hippo idea. Those things are vicious. They may not be predators, but they will indiscriminately kill anything that enters there territory.

Yep, I've heard they're so aggressive that they cause more deaths in Africa than lions, rhinos, snakes and elephants combined. I think a hippo would make an excellent Predacon, yeeessss.

hippos also mark their territory by launching explosive **** out and then spinning their tail thus resulting in a wide area being covered in hippo ****. this would make a great weapon gimmick ala armada megatron's ultimate weapon attack.
