CrazyDevy isn't the only company that wants to redefine the Gestalt legend. We recently gave you prototype images of the add-on, and now we've got even more images of Junkion Blacksmith's creation. The images show that the giant sword will split into five seperate pieces. The remaining add-ons give Predaking new hands and shoulder cannons. It looks like the individual swords can be wielding by any Transformer with reasonbly sized fist holes. No word on the release, availability or cost of the set Check out the images below!

I want everything here sans Predaking parts. A shame really; that MP Grimlock shot is truly plastic awesomesauce 
. Wait and see, I guess.

I'm not exactly keen on the sword. But those hands and shoulder cannons are pretty sweet. If I order that set it would be for the hands and cannons.

You can probably sell someone the sword too!

So...if you bought this kit, and found an incomplete Predaking with head, wings, and feet...you're pretty much set, correct?
Because that actually sounds doable, if you do it piecemeal.

I really dig this.
I'm not even displaying my G1 Predaking at the moment, and I want this set.
Worst case, I would have a pile of cool swords to distribute to other TFs.

I hope Fansproject decides to grab the bull by the horns and make some "Classics Predacons". My problem with these G1 add ons is that while they make the combiner look great, nothing is done for the individual bot modes. Or in Predaking's case, the friendly looking beast modes with no articulation. Custom labels are as far as Im willing to go to upgrade my G1 figures. Id rather save my money for more modern figures from newer, more exciting molds.

I do like the pictures of the sword with Drift and Metroplex.

Don't care about Predaking, but I do love that sword. I would buy that alone in a heartbeat if it wasn't too expensive

I like the CrazyDevy sword better than this one.
And yet, I say that first to preface how ironic it is that I hope this set really hurts CrazyDevy, since it's how they should have tried to upgrade Predaking in the first place, not trickling out replacements for parts that looked fine to begin with, some of which damaged the expensive figure they were meant to upgrade.
Yes, I know they gave out replacement wings, but why didn't they just do a whole new backpack that doesn't flop around?!
But no need to be so negative; I simply wish this JB company the best. All the new Junkion toy's we're getting this year are surely a good omen for them.

This. The CD upgrades for Devastator at least gave him better elbow joints, a ball-jointed head, knees and hips. For most of the Scramble City combiners, that's simply not possible.
It's some good looking stuff, but the original Predaking gear is just fine for me.

I like this set WAY better than CD's version. I love the wings that CD did, though. They look great on my Predy, but I doubt I'll be getting anything else from them for it. I'm definitely getting this.

I'd like to get this. As it looks, you can use each of those parts as weapons for other figures except for the fists. You have pegs and peg holes on every part, including those triple cannons/claws, so they can be wielded by a deluxe. If it costs like 30 bucks... it will be hard to justify. Hopefully around 20 bucks max.

hopefully they will look at CD's overpricing of their merchandise and think to do better....

The box art seems to signify that the clear pieces will be transluscent red (including the fists), with the rest being all black.

I got the impression they were clear, illuminated by red LEDs.

The fists in this set are just on standard 5mmm pegs, you can use them on various combiners. I used the fists from the blue Infinity Warfare set on Energon Superion Maximus here:
