By way of the Australian fansite Ozformers we have our initial retail sighting of the Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Ultimate Class, which consists of Beast Fire Predaking and Beast Hunter Optimus Prime. The pair were found at a Sydney K-mart. Hopefully these two will be making their way Stateside soon!

That's a first; same Size Class, but different size boxes between individual figures. One is Robot Mode and the other Beast mode no less :-?

And both of them are at different prices! Optimus is $79, whilst Predaking is $69. Rather strange.

I want Predaking if the details are right. I want to see good pics of him transformed before I make my decision. But I have no interest in Optimus. The only voyager I really wanted i got already. SHOCKWAVE!

It's sad to have these figures released in Australia instead of the United States. :sad:

But, they look like they will be great and awesome figures of the Beast Hunters toyline.

It's a common trend for toys to be released in Australia and even Canada first, before the US. Give them a month or so.

Which is off-set by the prices we're forced to pay.

It's just cheaper to import Takara from Japan.

Really looking forward to getting Predaking in hand soon!
Been watching the Cmmndr. and Vgyrs going on sale all over the place but this is the iteration of the character I have been wanting.

WTH? Released before reviews surface? What's going on?

I've just seen that Predaking isn't due in the uK until Aug/Sept!

Thanks for the pictures. That helped seal the deal, he is a definite purchase now, still dont want prime. They just killed the head and really paint job, make him like he is in the show and I would get him.

I really can't wait to see the video reviews for this guy. I like dragons and I need a figure to go with my Air attack Optimal primal. And this would be perfect for that if it turns out to be an alrit toy. But those additional photos got me leaning towards buying it.
