30+ years of advancements in engineering... and they can now move slightly more of their legs.

Why isn't there a SDCC version anyway? Hb did it for Metroplex and Devastator. PK isn't worth it?

Do we know there isn't an SDCC Predaking yet? I mean granted it's all speculation either way, but if my info is correct SDCC 2018 isn't for another two months or so, and we have no idea at this point what (if any) Transformers-brand exclusives we'll be getting then.

No leaks? Nothing. Also, could this be the result of the unification business model? No more special Titans editions? Trypticon didn't have any.

No offence but you seem to be taking some of the other users criticisms personally. Just because others don't like these figures shouldn't have an effect on if you like them or not.
I might be getting burned out with some of the negativity in some of my other fandom forums, and it might be bleeding over here. So thanks for checking me on that. I'll try to be more mindful. But you're right at the end of the day. Whether I enjoy Predaking (and I intend do) really doesn't matter at all if *anyone* else buys him.
In many ways I'm just happy to be seeing an official new version at all. I'd always wanted the original growing up (eventually got the re-release) and as much as I appreciate the G1 for what it is.... in a post Beast Wars world (ball joints) it makes it hard to enjoy the older figures from an interaction standpoint.
I suppose another reason why I'm fearful of (sometimes quite valid) critisims with Transformers... I've seen the brand die off twice in my lifetime, combined with Toys R Us folding, cost-cutting/design choices with much of the other action figure liness (dropping to *basic* articuation) I wonder if sometime toys are a bit of a dying breed.

Really surprised it made it to release with that in the design... instead of having them detach into big missile batteries or... well... something else.
