Toy Fair 2018 - Gallery of Transformers Power of the Primes Predaking #HasbroToyFair #NYTF

Alt modes look pretty spot on, for what they are meant to be, except for razor claw who looks like an elephant with a lion’s head.

It’s interesting that razor claw looks super beefy in lion mode, but ends up super trim in combined mode. Where does all that bulk go?

Maybe a little more carbs in his diet can help out with that ballerina waist.

The Predaking on the show floor seems to be mistransformed. The legs of his arm components are fully extended, whereas they are retracted on the CGI render and box art. It would explain why his arms look so off and why his hands reach all the way down to his knees.

I like the longer arms - seems to fix his proportions somewhat. Third party hands will definitely go a long way. I'm still not sure about that skinny torso though.

The waist doesn't really bother me. I think the figure looks really cool.

Robots ate my wallet...

And price of Jinbao Predaking goes through the roof. Looks like I'm gonna pass on em. Hopefully he might turn up at Ollie's for $50 then I might pick him up

Easy pass. Just like Devestator, it's too big, and too plain looking.

I like him and I like the fact he’s a boxset. Collecting individual teams is getting tedious. Don’t mind the svelte look... he was quite solder in some depictions though, the toy was pure bulk.

Not as excited about anything in the potp series as I was for CW and TR but I’ll definitely be getting a few inc the dinobots, predaking and the legends toys. But many more figures are a pass than in the other lines

Even the box artwork has his spiked knuckles! Yet the toy's knuckles are flat.

Will Onyx Prime get a Pretender shell, like the ones being released in stores? Initially I passed on them, but I might start picking them up, just for the shells and gunmodes.

He should get his own shell in the main line, in fact his detailing may reveal which character... unfortunately I have no idea:



I'm leaning towards Icepick, but I'm open to other suggestions.

Looks like Predaking has been hitting the gym in his time since the G1 days. I guess I'll pick this up at some point. Too bad Takara is doing a copy and paste on all the Hasbro products this time around. It would have been interesting to see what changes they would have made with a Unite Warriors version that would almost definitely include a sword.

I like him. And the Preds sizes individually compared to the Leaders is encouraging. But I will say this Predaking looks a lot leaner than the beefy linebacker Predaking of yore. But I will take something over nothing!

Can he fit a Prime Master in him somewhere or is that for scale?

Onyx Prime will be held/stored by Predaking, and in fact only come with Predaking!

Ouch.

Yikes... the whole leg including the hip!

Guess it won't be so bad as no one is going to be displaying the figures that way round but still...yeesh

They definitely should've gone the Devastator route and made Razorclaw close to leader size so this wouldn't have happened.

Tell me honestly, guys. Would anyone here have been genuinely upset if they had made Predaking with Razorclaw being at least a little bigger (if not more than a little bigger) than the other four Predacons? Does Razorclaw being exactly the same size as the others really matter than much?

I had guessed at the leg/hip being a part of Tantrum and Headstrong was going to be a thing when I saw some photos where you could partially see something huge and black was tucked into them in beast forms. I wish I tucked in better for bot mode, but not a deal breaker. He'll be king most of the time and I like how Predaking looks still.

I try not to make negative posts, but seriously it’s been 34 years, you’d think they could make something other than bricks on sticks.

Sadly, Yes you are right, and why is Divebombs beast mode so off?
