Ah, but an emperor is an even better a rank compare to a mere king. So it's all the more in your favor.Mkall wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Emperor, actually.Mkall wrote:I'm happy I've held off on other leader-class Predaking figures. This one is the true Predacon King on my shelf.

What exactly do either of those names mean if you don't mind my asking?

It's probably supposed to be an homage to Transmetal 2 Megatron.Metrosuplex wrote:Maybe I just love Halloween, but the Hasbro version of Predaking looks better. I can't believe there isn't ONE comment about how "Playskool" this guy looks. You guys just jump on anything with a bit of color and call it Playskool. Seriously, this black and red motif? No one has a silly quip about it being made for babies?
But those were intended for the 2008 Universe toyline. They only got put in the Movie toyline (as Walmart exclusives) instead because the retailers requested it. They wanted more Movie products to sell, so Hasbro reshuffled what was intended for the Universe line into the Movie line.Metrosuplex wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Why would any of them be?griftimus prime wrote:i wonder how many of the prime figures will be repainted for tf4
Well, they did re-release a ton of Energon toys for the first, 2007 movie.

Well, Takara's Dragotron toys (or at least, for now, the Voyager one) does at least resemble his appearance in the Go! cartoon. It's the Prime cartoon model that diverged from the toy designs enough to make them less than satisfactorily show-accurate.RhA wrote:I like Hasbro's version better. But why, oh why, does neither company give him the paintjob he deserves? He's very detailed, but only an equally detailed paintjob can really make him shine.

"Guren Dragotron", however, I'm not completely certain, but I think it means something like "Red Dragotron" or "Crimson Dragotron".
"Final Form" sounded cooler and more ominous to me than simply "Red/Crimson".
