He sounds too... intelligent...

by **ILL-Star** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 6:33 pm

Kinda sounds like Predaking has a medieval times type of accent. Fitting for a dragon.

Loved the look on the 'Cons' faces after Predaking transformed. Also, I don't mind him sounding so smart. It really stands out when you consider he was acting like a mindless beast for so long.

BOOYAH!!!! I can't wait to see where this goes.

As much as I love Peter Mensa, he could've gravelled up his voice a bit. He really does sound a little too smart.

Oh baby... please oh please kill screamer predaking!

It's a little too high for my tastes, but it's very sophisticated and erudite. Undoubtedly to show off that he's always been much, much smarter than Screamer gave him credit for.

This ep's gonna be strong, I can tell.

WHOA! He sounds... intelligent!

If he's like a genius mastermind, that'd make him the epitome of brain and brawn combined.

In other words, a non-crazy evil Rhinox.

In other words, he completely avoided both the stereotypical and the cliche by going with something more original and unique. A vicious monster who is secretly a calm-minded mastermind. :twisted:

Man you have completely mind blown me, and that is not easy to do.

WoW, now that's a entrance. The was the best robot reveal I ever saw. Come on Predaking let me see you take one of the Autobots out. You could do it. Extinguish some transformers sparks.

News Credits: 767 · by **Dead Metal** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 6:53 am

He sounds not only intelligent, but also kinda hurt and pissed off, like someone who's been suppressed and forced to do stuff all his life.
Anybody else think the Predacons will just want to be left alone and won't really care for ether Decepticons or Autobots?

If this were in real life I would say yes, but because that would make the whole name change irrelevant to actually hunting the beasts I'm going to say no for the show.

Good observation. I didn't really see that.

I dunno... the Predacons' toy bios indicate smashing and terminating Autobots, and Japan's Go! line's plot is capturing Predacons.

I expected a deeper voice for him

I agree with both of you.

I thought his voice would not only be deeper, but also older.
The figure was the cause of this perception. He just looked aged to me.

Not that it's a problem though!

Predaking does sound heroic.... but I get a vibe that there is some good in him.

From that snippet at least. He could go on how much he wants to decimate all of the Autobots in existence after that for all we know.

It would be interesting if there was a side change with Predaking at the last moments of the show. I remember seeing a preview of the other Predacons in the series a while ago when Beast Hunters was airing.

They seemed a lot more viscous than Predaking. Which could be a reasoning behind changing sides. But hey they can sound intelligent after they transform like him.

I can't wait to see what's going to happen!

Well, I'll be damned: Predaking not only finally names himself, but is pretty much the Predacon Socrates! :lol:

"Lulz" at Ultra Magnus's "Throw these beasts back to the Rust Age!"

..but never piss off Predaking, it seems. :shock:

Some of the battle scenes feel... rushed. As in they're very fast.

So does that mean Ultra Magnus is going to have a hook in place of his smashed hand? 8-}

So Synthetic Energon, combined with the CNA of the Predacons, makes the Cybertronian equivalent of primeval fauna? Fascinating! :grin:

Wonderful episode, wonderful! Can't wait for next week's!

Poor Predacons. So much potential... :sad:

You say "rushed". I say fast paced, frantic and visceral. I thought it was one of the best fight scenes of the entire show.

Mindmaster wrote:Wonderful episode, wonderful! Can't wait for next week's!

Completely agreed. I loved this episode. Just a little bummed that the Predacon army is pretty much written off, even though I think we all kind of saw it coming.
