Transformers Power of the Primes Predaking China Sword Exclusive In Hand Images

Uh, it's the same unmatched color it was in the promo pic which really turned me off the first time we saw it.



The sword reminds me of the ones that came with those Optimus Prime KOs you could find at Big Lots.

It may not be perfect, but IMO it's nice for a free extra, the colors are close enough to look okay, and even if you don't like it for Predaking, it could easily be sufficient for another combiner or large transformer in need of a weapon, or as an oversized blade for someone smaller. I kinda hope these become easily available so I can have one if/when I'm able to buy myself a Predaking.

Why is it also a writing pen?

The pen is mightier!

If that's the case, I'm just going to equip my Predaking with a Bic.

There is a SNL "Celebrity Jeopardy" Joke in there, that isn't appropriate for this forum, but if you are a fan of that sort of thing, google it.

Also...Predaking's a BIG BOT and deserves a BIG pen...

Is that actually in the instructions?

Indeed. I think with the arms unextended the wrists hold together more securely, but the tradeoff is definitely worth it IMO.

I didn't look at the instructions and just assumed the arms extended was correct based on the smaller combiners.

damn so big! Almost worth getting a second Predaking to get that sword!!

Same.

It is accurate to the original toy, in both instances: Scramble City arms have them extended, but Predaking has them retracted.

The exception to Scramble City arms being extended is when attached to Motormaster because of how short his torso mode is.

Edit: Groove is also an exception because he does not extend. Groove feels half-finished.
