Thats just to give him a better view of the teabagging.

Great! Now you've made me want to see him teabag a fallen autobot, preferably Bumblebee, cuz he just need to die already.

I have a feeling the Beast Hunters toyline might take place similarly to Primus Unleashed from Cybertron.

Just an FYI, but Thylacine is attending the NYCC event on behalf of TFWiki.net, and got us that promo video! So he is not making things up or having pants that are on fire.

Because, aside from Beast Hunters being part of the show, both Primus Unleashed and Beast Hunters are subline imprints. They're partially changing the name of the toy line by putting a subtitle in to reflect on one gimmick.

Primus Unleashed isn't the only ones to do this, but it was the only one I could think of off the bat. Especially when TFWiki is down for me. Others include AllSpark Power, N.E.S.T Alliance, HFTD, etc.

That's recycled footage from Darkness Rising.

Every bit of non-dragon footage in that promo was old footage recycled from episode 1 and such.

It's recycled footage from all five Darkness Rising Episodes, not just the first episode.

we can't even get characters from prime like breakdown, or the jet vehicon or unicron.. so even if there was an insecticon made.. or a new mold smokescreen, there's no guarantee that we'd see them on our shelves. that's what has really killed TF:P for me.. not getting the characters from the show.. yet we've gotten quite a few repaints so far.

hopefully the beast aspect of it will draw my attention. that figure looks awesome... so it's working. but i really hope we get the figures that have already been made.

Oh, wonder if these Predacons will be a small band of bots like the original Predacons (and maybe even a combiner!) or a full army like the BW Preds, and if they'll be largely "real" creatures like both previous Predacon groups or more mythical like those ancient Decepticons in Cybertron were implied to be.

... I wonder if this guy being called Predaking had anything to do with the Kreon Combiner that is obviously meant to be the original Predaking not being called by his proper name?

Posted: **Wed Oct 10, 2012 8:47 pm**

Here's my two cents:

A - It looks brutal. I'm sure the pictures aren't doing it "justice" but I think it looks pure balls

B - They'll call him Deathsaraus

His name is Predaking.

Posted: **Wed Oct 10, 2012 9:17 pm**

kinda wanted him to be a combiner -if he turns out to be ill be happy but other wise its only ok could be better. plus i have a feeling smokescreens going to buy it to recharge cybertron -as he isn't in the group shot this isn't a good sign -also can we get at least a few new bots -overall we have had a lack of new bots for a while now -id like to see a few new faces on the autobot team as well as the cons.

Because it's recycled footage of the first 5 episodes. Smokescreen wasn't part of the team then.

Ok, I'm in! :lol:

guess now we know who that dragon head was in the "leaked" promo image from S. America back when we first heard about Beast Hunters... The figure has my attention! I'm a sucker for dragons, so add that to my love of TF's, and I'm sold!

Yeah it was some dragon character from a piece of Dungeons & Dragons artwork.

No joke.

But this, however, is the real deal.

No, that wasn't the same dragon, although he might have been intended to be a stand-in.

That was a just a dragon-thingy-abomination from Dungeons & Dragons:

After looking over the original poster, that says Fall 2013 and now it's Spring 2013. So happy for the date change.

Posted: **Wed Oct 10, 2012 10:36 pm**

Eh, ok they used a stand-in image ... After seeing the toy, I don't care, I'm still thrilled haha :grin:

Well, I've successfully been reeled back in! 3 months of not really finding ANYTHING new, and now there's this!

I'll be buying that dudicus on sight.
