Directly from the Seibertron.com hotel room at BotCon 2016, we are proud to present a preliminary gallery of in-hand images of the event exclusive box set 'Dawn of the Predacus' - with Generals Cicadacon, Sea Clamp, Ramhorn, and Ravage and Tarantulas - in robot, vehicle and combined modes. Also, check out the attendee figure Terrorsaur in vehicle and robot mode, with the possibility of using as a limb with any CW torso.

Full gallery available here, or click on any of the images below!
(With thanks to koopakawa for the help with Predacus.)

Sea Clamp looks like an old man waiving his cane at youngsters.

Hes a great exclusive, but they've managed to make 3 red limbs leaving you with either of the other colours left for a limb.

Unless they did another red toy I'm missing here as an extra exclusive?

Ramhorn removes all doubt I had with going with Takara's Computron.

Man this gets my mind going....It would be neat if next year they released the Maximal Elders as Magnaboss. I just wonder what vehicle modes they could choose? (Ironhide-a Prime/Motormaster retool, Silverbolt-any Airealbot limb, Prowl-CW Prowl retool) and who would be the 4th/5th members...I know it wont happen...just fun to think about though.

Prowl, Silverbolt, and Ironhide are already in this comic in their G1/CW bodies.

Yes but the Maximal Elders (Ironhide, Prowl, and Silverbolt) are not the same as their G1 namesakes, so they would be different characters.

He is right. G1 Ironhide, Silverbolt and Prowl became Magnaboss. :MAXIMAL:

Hrmm... I always thought G1 Prowl became the Transmetal Owl in BW that had no memory of his prior existence...

Transmetal 2 Prowl is Chip Chase in Binaltech Prowl's Alpha BT body, redubbed "Prowl II".

Are we just going to ignore that Megatron is in the background of some of the Terrorsaur pictures?

The Sourcebook did it, then Hirofumi Ichikawa (via Ask Vector Prime) made sense of it.

I understand it's a necessity with the characters chosen but that is a very visually boring set, colour-wise (besides Tarantulas).

From the looks of it, Reflector can be accomplished with three unaltered Shockwaves. Looks like I have two more Shockwaves to get!

Well I'm excited to pay way too much for that Megatron, then pay slightly less way too much for Under-3.
