Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2012 4:32 pmEh, it looks a little underwhelming, but maybe it'll get some more detailing as things go along. For now, I'm hedging on the leader being better.
Re: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Predaking Robot Mode Revealed
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2012 4:48 pmI preordered him a while back and will be keeping it. I'm really digging the orange because it'll really pop on my TFP shelf. Also, I really like that the beast back appears to form the robot legs and the dragon legs are hidden (at least in the pic) in robot mode.
I'm curious to see the larger version too though, be it Supreme, Weaponizer, Leader, etc. If it's another good model that is different enough to justify (maybe even just by the size), then I might be getting both!
P.S. I believe I was the one who brought this to everyone's attention with my post earlier (http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/robot-mode-photo-of-transformers-prime-voyager-predaking-t91117.php). Could I possibly get a shout out for the news find too?!
Either way, I'm just glad I could share this with all my fellow Seibertronians! I've been enjoying the discussion (as usual)!

Looks like they flip behind and fill his hollow robot legs, kinda like PRiD Arcee.

Thanks for pointing that out. I thought it was his lame hand.
Better than I had hoped but I still don't think I'll be buying any beast hunter toys for the next 3 years.

Re: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Predaking Robot Mode Revealed
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2012 5:45 pm*sighs* I'm horribly conflicted, here.
After seeing this, I had to dig up pics of the Leader Class. It's massive, it has light up features (which are not a selling point for me, but it usually means it's larger...) and it has full weapons.
On the other hand, the Voyager seems to have a more intricate transformation (whereas the Leader seems to just stand up, fold down, etc.) and it's cheaper. I dunno.
I'll keep the preorder for now, but I'm rather tempted to cancel and go for the Leader due to it's massive wing span.

What do you mean "finally"? It was the gimmick for one size class in one toyline. Only 8 figures, assuming Skyquake ever makes it to market. And it hasn't even been a full year. I know it wasn't a popular gimmick but you're making it sound like it infected the entire brand.
Where do you get any indication he meant the entire brand? The "Powerizer" gimmick was strictly PRiD, so I'm sure he was referring to those Voyagers.
My point is that he's making such a fuss about it that you would think the problem was more wide-reaching than it really is.
One could easily connect Mechtech and Powerizers together, given the very similar gimmick. I for one am also glad that the Powerizer/Mechtech gimmick is done with, because as far as I was concerned, they were the same thing, and the whole reason I didn't collect DotM.
Re: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Predaking Robot Mode Revealed
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2012 6:33 pmI dunno. I may pick it up, but I'm probably not going to preorder it. Right now my money is going to expanding my G1 collection.

It's also very similar to the Mechtech gimmick in DOTM, so if you consider it a continuation of said gimmick (I do), it's a welcome change. [Edit: Lord Onixprime agrees also

LOOOOOOL! That would be most hilarious.
As for my opionion on the figure: Meh. I think I can safely pass on this line unless they continue to release some legit, non-spikey vehicle modes.
TRUKK NOT MUNKEY 4EVA.
Re: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Predaking Robot Mode Revealed
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2012 7:25 pmThis is actually better than I expected. Totally kibble-free, if you don't count the wings, and the bot mode's proportions are excellent. Not a fan of the guns, but that's easily forgivable.
Curious to see what the leader class toy brings to the table.

I think the beast mode hind legs fold up and become the back half of the bot mode legs, but they're well hidden and I for one like how it's done, from what I can see. 2 distinct modes ... well played!
I know it's not the first, but given that most of the beast figures are either "stand up" transformations, or shell formers, this is a VERY welcome sight. And I will admit, there have been some very good beasts, but majority are underwhelming and repetative feeling. And considering the rest of the BH line (remolds, that have been a disappoint for most people), the downsizing the last couple years, weapon gimicks AND that he's getting an impressive larger figure, I had very low expecations for this.

Re: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Predaking Robot Mode Revealed
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2012 8:43 pmA bit underwhelmed, but I'll still get it nonetheless.
Re: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Predaking Robot Mode Revealed
Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2012 5:06 amI was quite interested until I noticed the gun. If there's going to be a leader class I think I'll wait for that, cos clearly he's going to be big in the cartoon.
We'd all better pray to Primus that they don't give him the Weaponizer treatment and screw him up like OP.

Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2012 6:30 pmI wanna thank hasbro for ruining TFP for me. But I will say this figure isn't that bad it's just laserbeak and the other deluxe figures look like crap to me. So as far as I'm concerned the TFP toy line is over for me I will now be only looking forward to downgraded deluxe generation/FOC figures. At least I have 3rd party to keep me happy when ever they release.

Lazerback! Not Laserbeak.
I told you people were going to get easily confused.
And, the addition of Predacons ruin TFP for you? They're not gonna stop making carformers if that's your dilemma.
Re: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Predaking Robot Mode Revealed
Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2012 8:42 pmThat's pretty goddamn COOL!!! 
Guess Hasbro has shown anyone who was complaining about the back legs become legs and front legs become arms.
I'm still a little confused as to whether there is indeed an leader sized figure in the works but I'd like the biggest Predaking figure they are willing to give us.

No, the front legs are the arms. It's the hind legs that flipped the bird on the complainers.
I'm still a little confused as to whether there is indeed an ultra sized figure in the works but I'd like the biggest Predaking figure they are willing to give us.
There is, but the size class is unknown. Ultra, Supreme, Weaponizer...it's all speculation at this point.
Re: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Predaking Robot Mode Revealed
Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2012 8:54 pmThe larger figure does exist.
Re: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Predaking Robot Mode Revealed
Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2012 11:22 pmlooks like the back legs on that one will be the legs of the robot.
can't say I'm particularly impressed with either offering. Maybe get one if he's awesome on the show, or I end up being able to get him for dirt cheap somewhere down the line, but right now he's not a must have.
