Thanks to another eBay auction we get another look at Transformers Prime "Beast Hunters" Voyager Class Predaking In-Package. We got a look at his packaging last month, but this auction show both the front and back in higher quality. The figure comes with Twin Hydrafire Missile Blasters and his tail becomes a sword. Images from the auction mirrored below.

I'm less than impressed with the Voyager Predaking. I'm hoping the Leader-sized one will be better.

Judging by the last two leader class sized figures of this line,I highly doubt it will be that much if any better than this.

Part of me is glad I preordered him, because he looks fantastic in package. However, Voyagers are quite small these days and that package seems to dwarf him. If I'm going for scale, I might have to go with the Weaponizer. But this seems to be a far superior figure. :( Doggone it.

I'll wait till we get some in hand pics before I decide whether to get him. I'm not a fan of weaponizer's either, the gimmick always seems detrimental to the figure.

We don't know if it's a Weaponizer. It's a larger figure with no confirmed class.

Weaponizers aren't Leaders. They're an entirely different class.

Howso? I mean Optimus is a bit...eh. But Weaponizer Bee is easily the most screen accurate one, he just suffers from lack of paint detailing, really.

Personally, I disagree. This one looks much better.

Initially, I still give him a harshly-put pass, but secretly, I want to see more. Lemme see him in action, show me his bigger toy, and then we'll talk.

I can't wait until I see this thing warming shelves. I'm less then impressed, but I'm sure others are thrilled.

Not me though... not me.

We now have our first in-hand images of Transformers Prime "Beast Hunters" Voyager Class Predaking courtesy of a TaoBao auction. We get a look at the Pedacon leader in both dragon and robot modes. This guy will join Beast Optimus Prime in "Beast Hunters" Voyager wave one. Images mirrored below.

Those extra dragon heads look terrible... I had to spend some time looking to find the eyes just to establish what the head really looked like...and the necks suck.
Overall... meh. So far, not a single must buy from this line just yet..but there are some contenders.... The leader version of predaking looks kinda cool.

Hmm, those heads definitely make better guns when they don't have necks. :lol: They're still pretty bad though, who thought it would be a good idea for them to be orange when the rest of the dragon is black? The Aesthetics clash strongly with this one.

I hate the robot mode hands and how they hold the weapons. Hate, hate, hate.

It makes for a horrifically akward looking figure in my eyes.

the predaking looks stupid. Sorry. I cannot like any part of him other than his legs. It looked like Megatron's legs. Why are the dragon heads detachable. It's beginning to look like model, with various parts to form dragon? heads do not turn into guns, lazers, or whatever. Sor far, optimus is the only one worth getting. The figure in the package looks horrible. I will not even consider him.

I agree with MINDWIPE and Mkall about those dragon heads and those terrible hand gun....neck fist..... weirdness goin on there that sucks pretty hard ,BUT, I think i kinda like the figure over all. At least i think i do....not entirely sure yet.

The bot mode i feel is pretty successful for the most part(hands?) and looks good. The alt mode is something i need to see more in hand images/video of before i condemn it or praise it. Seems too me that there's potential there that isn't coming across in the few pics we've seen.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

I know the character will probably be "bad ass" in the show but the figure is meh and this is supposed to be Predaking.
