HasbroToyShop has also listed the recently revealed Transformers Platinum Edition Predaking. The set is listed at $119.99 and expected to ship in late August. Click here to view the pre-order page.

Predaking is the perfect warrior. Powerful, remorseless, obedient, and nearly unstoppable, he hunts Autobots with a predatory intensity absent from even the most diabolical of his Decepticon peers. The massive x-ray laser he carries as a primary weapon is an instrument of singular destructive potential, capable of incinerating entire forests, liquefying steel and cement, and instantly turning an entire battlefield into a blasted landscape of rubble and fused glass.

Autobots beware, because the ultimate predator is on the hunt for someone to pound! He's more powerful than any Predacon, because he's made of 5 of them! Your Predacon Divebomb, Predacon Headstrong, Predacon Rampage, Predacon Razorclaw and Predacon Torox figures all convert from robot mode to beast mode and back. But when the battle calls for a giant warrior, they combine to build one enormous Predaking figure! His sword will keep any Autobot at bay!

Get a 5-in-1 force of Predacons with this incredible Predaking figure! Mighty Predaking figure is made of 5 Predacon figures! 5 Predacon figures combine into 1 Predaking figure. Includes Predacon Divebomb, Predacon Headstrong, Predacon Rampage, Predacon Razorclaw and Predacon Torox figures. Predacon figures convert from robot mode to beast mode and back. Predaking figure holds a mighty sword! Includes 5 Predacon figures. Ages 5 and up. Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.

Are they not allowed to use the name "tantrum" now, for fear it would give kids ideas or something?

Or it's probably already taken, or become generic, as his Kre-O counterpart has the same name. By the by, Torox happens to be his original Italian name.

My wife is going to buy one and repaint it. She wants to have a white/frosted white base with deep purple and frosted blue highlights.

I had one of those 'thank you' 15% discount cards that I threw out just yesterday sitting right at the top of my trash can.

Salvaged!

Thanks for the heads up.

So this boxset doesn't give us anything new, exept this is a platinum version...

why platinum? because Tantrum is named Torox now?
after buying all those great upgrades from crazydevy for my g1 predaking, seeing this platinum set looks ''naked'' without the big wings and all
