Nothing yet. I wouldn't be surprised if it will be a while. We haven't seen very many prototypes or sketches yet.

MMC just posted their Divebomb on facebook.

This wins on so many levels. War Lord Beasticons are out, this pic has settled the debate for me.

So far I like this version the best. It's outside my area of intrest (season 1 - the movie), but .... it's Predaking, Goddamnit!

But I'd really like to know the price too.

Each one is about the size of one of TFC's constructicons. I'm keeping the first post updated with all the collected images and info.

Yeah, unless this thing is $200 a piece, I think I'm sold. I'm not much into the HOS stuff, though it looks cool, so I don't have any MMC stuff. If Hexitron has really bad quality (which sounds like it would be highly unlikely) then I may rethink this. But I think I'm in on this bandwagon.

I'm gonna need a bigger house...

I hope he comes with a package of bandages, because that picture is looking sharp!

Thanks for the updates. I appreciate it. I know it means extra work for you guys.

Someone asked on the facebook reveal how big Divebomb is and this was their reply:

Height:7.25" (18.4cm) from feet to head
Wingspan: 18.1" (46cm) fully expanded

It's a big one, isn't it :BOWDOWN:

Divebomb looks great! This is the Predaking to get, no doubt about it :grin:

I took a measurement: He'll stand on par with Voyager Inferno, and slightly shorter than Ultra Powerglide.

Pre-ordered, naturally

I measured him against Powerglide and Herc Scrapper. Didn't think about Inferno or Grapple #-o

They are big voyagers, these guys are going to be awesome :BOWDOWN:

Edit: looks like they will be better value than TFC as well :-?

And with the price break, I'm committed. Now I just have to avoid getting committed by my family...

The wingspan is nearly half a meter. :shock:

Where in the world am I going to display this? :BOOM:

Just inside the entrance to a room. Every time someone enters the room, there is Predaking with his big-ass sword

R-01 is Hexatron,

I suspect they rushed this one to preorder to compete with the other Predaking that's in the works.

And now up @ Captured Prey: http://www.capturedprey.com/store/maste ... _r02_talon

Oddly an appropriate naming combo - Captured Prey and the Predacons.

That $20 price break makes this a great deal!

And it looks like they will, in fact, be larger than Herc, as Predaking should!

I'm loving it!

MMC's stuff has made me a very happy camper so far, so I'm looking forward to this, though they can be a bit fragile with some small parts and details.

This is my only concern with these guys. One wrong move and you have a broken sword or a clipped wing. Beside that small worry, these guys really do seem like the superior option for my Classics Predaking. Pretty soon I'm going to have to apply for a credit card though if these 3rd parties don't take a break and give us collectors a rest. :sad:
