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

...Oh.

That isn't good.

Is there something wrong with preds left arm? It looks like it's bent at an odd angle. Any pictures of the Prime master that goes with it?

Predaking looks great, but where is his sword, he needs his sword.

Updated!

The toy does indeed seem to be missing a sword. I suppose it shouldn't be surprising. None of the PotP combiners have had dedicated weapons so far. This may just be the direction Hasbro decided to go.

Hmm.

After Devastator, this is pretty much what I expected. I'm not particularly wowed, but I bet King-mode will be solid and fun.

I like these, I'd say they're on par with what we've gotten from the rest of Prime Wars. They aren't MPs, we should have always expected beasts just as unarticulated as Alpha Trion. After what Hasbro did to Devastator this feels like an improvement. I do hope Takara Tomy repackages him for Unite Warriors being a Titan (like they did with Trypticon for Legends) and toss in some weapons (like they did for Devastator).

That was a product of the time. If they’re not doing it for any of the power of primes figure they’re not gonna do it for predaking. It’s not happening. If it shares the gimmick of enigmas and primemasters you can guarantee it’ll be in the same box and be the same toy. Just like how it’s been going and just like Trypticon was.

And it's these lack of weapons that will finally push me into getting 3P add-ons.

have to say im not impressed . im looking at my G1 predaking on my desk every day and he's a far beefier affair than this effort.

but even on simple things, wheres the spiked knuckle dusters on his fists?

the display is a dark nightmare of garish colours so maybe its taking away from his look but considering how far engineering has come on TF its sad to say how lack luster these guys look. i mean its essentially the same thing - voyager sized figs that combine - and the ancient one does it better.

im FAR more interested in abominus at this stage (and picking up that studios grimlock figure, christ what a fig THAT is. i keep hearing hound from the G1 cartoon in my head "that ones a walking fang factory!" )

more and more im wondering if they missed a trick and shouldnt have made the dinobots the voyager combining fig and gone the deluxe/voyager route with the preds.

ah well least he's coming out for those that didnt get the reissue. i dont want to seem nonplussed, ive bought more figs in the last 2yrs than the last 20.

A couple more joints wouldn't explain that waist line though.

Apparently G1 Predaking was too fat for modern day Hasbro body shaming developers.
