It's that time of the day again when something gets in the way of production planning, and images are shown before they're intended to be shown. The news cycle is what it is, and so we're reporting what appears to be an image of a mockup from the Transformers: Power of the Primes toyline, featuring a potentially Titan sized Predaking figure, next to a smaller Megatron which fits the recently seen Cyber Series design and was part of the previous leaks under the 4.5 inch simplified value chain figures.
The source appears to be 4chan, though at the time of writing the original link could not be found, but the background of the image does indeed show the correct font and beginning of the line's name. Check it out for yourselves below, and stay tuned next week for official information about upcoming new toys from Hasbro and Hascon!
The wings from NYCC 2017! (Just like Trypticon's leg previously.)
While the Hasbro staff did not want to reveal too much during their NYCC 2017 panel, it is clear to any fan that the wings they showed belonged to none other than the upcoming Titan Class Predaking. These are part of the Predacon Divebomb and can be removed to place in the back of the combined Predaking. You can see the detailed sculpt of both sides of the wings. John Warden was just having fun with the idea of placing the wings behind Volcanicus for visual effect, there is no word on them actually being able to connect to Volcanicus.
Seibertron has a gallery ready for this reveal which you can see by clicking here or on any of the images below.

The final gallery left for now from New York Comic Con 2017 has to do with the sensational reveal of the stunning new combiner figure from the Transformers Power of the Primes line, in its majestic Titan class: Predaking... well, the wings that will be part of Predaking, which also seem compatible with Dinobot Volcanicus, too.
Adding to what we've previously seen about the Predacon combiner - i.e. the size and colour model, and the Live Reveal Of The Wings - the images below show them hanging out with the rest of the NYCC 2017 reveals. Check them out!

Now if only Swoop could do the same thing. But those are some pretty big and awesome wings!

With a few clear rubber bands (or some clever Shapeways designworks)you'll probably be able to put those wings on many other figures. Power of the Primes Power Surge Optimus Prime

Damn, this might actually be good! Though I must say those wings are VERY reminiscent of MMC's take on Predaking. Not that that's a bad thing, that guy looked awesome in gestalt mode.

To be fair, MMC's Feral Rex take one Predaking is very reminiscent of Hasbro's Predaking

It's a shame Swoop's wings don't come off as they'd look nice on the Dinobot combiner's back.

The wings really opens up a lot of questions. Is this the front or the back? It matches mostly the back of the G1 figure, but has what looks like a pop out tab for connecting to the body. Why is the tail looking part so thick and why is it slotted? For that matter why is the tail connected to the wings in the first place? I would think if that slot is for attaching Razorclaw's massive gun it would have to be on Divebomb. In the closeup image it looks like the wing portion and tail aren't all that well connected, you can see a gap. I wonder if the tail slips in there in bot and bird mode, but in combined mode it stays on Divebomb? I hope Divebomb has big heals because he's going to be very back heavy.

If you look closely enough you can see the silhouette of the lion head on his chest. It seems a bit small if I'm honest, but overall I'm just glad to see that Razorclaw isn't too small.

How much you wanna bet Headstrong and Tantrum only got their names back thanks to a "Predacon" prefix, after "Headlock" and "Torox"? Not that I mind that
From the silhouette it's quite surprising Predaking looks proportionate. I wonder how they did the torso Razorclaw?

I’m not ready for the complaints about how hallow he looks or his fingers are one solid piece with a knuckle hinge like devastator.
People just need to accept cost limitations

It is just me, or does the cannon on his arm look like a giant Prime Master shell gun mode?

If you look close enough, you can see the foil stickers beginning to peel.

I don't know, I don't see the sticker sheet
What I do see is slight variations in brightness, the image is not 100% black throughout.

Wonder if somebody could Photoshop it to up the brightness, to see what details we could make out...

I have tentatively high hopes for this.
While I like my MMC Predaking, I feel that at this point, something with better engineered hips in combined mode could well replace it.

Looks promising so far, not weirdly bloated or blocky like I was expecting! Elbows look kinda strange, but there's not much to be seen from this. Hyped for the full reveal!

I hope only one thing ! Prey to god Pand crossed my fingers OTP Predaking will be not so bad like Hung-rr that cannot be saved except a 3rd party figure or a heavy 3rd party addon !

I can barely make out the shape and size of Razorclaw's lion head... and it look really tiny! With the mane it could be covering the chest, but the abdomen would be left bare.
