Leaked From Cybertron: Transformers Power of the Primes Predaking

On a side note, think the release of Cog may boost Fort Max sales? Alternatively if they do Six Gun will they do another run of Metroplex?

Takara just did another run of Metroplex.

...and as much as we all want a new Titan Class toy in 2019, I could easily see riding 's coat tails and going the easy/cheap route by reissuing T30 Metroplex for Siege...

After all when Warden said "What Titan do you think of during the critical last days of Cybertron"...Of course my mind goes to Omega Supreme, because I'm a fan of that character, but past media shows us, that Metroplex would be just as valid an answer. I hope this doesn't happen because I'd love to have a modern OS, but worst case scenario, if they do rerelease Metroplex, then at least I don't have to pay almost $300 for the Takara reissue.

Well, I bought Prediking for my sons for Christmas, to go with Trypticon, so they both have a big ass box to open.

Sadly, I gave in to temptation and opened Big P to satisfy my curiosity.

I should have left it in package.

Combined mode, while not astounding, is not bad at all. It actually looks good in hand, and feels pretty sturdy, while not being as difficult to pose as Devastator was. Hasbro/Takara put a good effort into this gestalt mode.

That, unfortunately, is where the effort ended. The individual robot and bot modes, at best, can only be described as mediocre, and quite frankly, that is being generous. He has been sealed back up, put into storage, and will be under the tree for Christmas.

almost. I found some of them that could have been a bit better, like the ones that had to go on rounded or curved parts.
And also the glue isn't that great, some are already starting to peel off.
I'm considering to remove all of them but the decepticon logos.

You can stop at the 7 second mark

After messing around with Predaking for a few days, I have nothing but good to say about him. Robot modes are great, Tantrum and Headstrong are set back with the big leg posts. Still its not as bad in hand, as others have said. Individual beast modes are ok. Razorclaw and Divebomb look the best by far but really only Rampage has much articulation. They look good enough though with Razorclaw looking the best to me. Combined mode is awesome. I think the proportions look great, not too skinny at the waist. Suppose it could be a bit wider but he matches animation well enough. Way too many stickers and I wish some had been tampos. I enjoy putting on stickers but, just so many. I did leave quite a few off going for a Sunbow G1 animation simple look. Overall I love Predaking and as my first Titan class figure, I want more.

I'm curious, do people not have this guy yet or is there just nothing to say on him?

I think a lot of people are waiting out a sale come Black Friday time. You know, what I told myself I was going to do before my lack of willpower order him from Amazon.

I actually like him, flaws and all. I don't even regret paying full price like I did with Fort Max.

I've got to be honest about this, I hope he sells out before he goes to discount stores. Waiting for the inevitable Amazon sale is ok by me, but hoping for clearance on these figures is the way towards ensuring we don't get any more.

This.

What I've always been saying. Support the brand to ensure more of our plastic crack in the pipeline.

Would that be so bad, though? I know these titan class figures have their fans, but I wonder how much they take away from the regular lines? I dunno.
