This is both accurate to the character of Predaking and a realistic approach to the toy, in that it's a dangerous living weapon. If you threw this at someone, you'd either knock them out or leave multiple lacerations.
I definitely dig this design over the g1 a whole lot. It manages to still pay respect to the g1 while incorporating a lot of angular modern elements to the figures. If I had the money & space, i’d definitely pick up.
Personally I feel it’s just missing a few too many design ques. I think if the head, lion head, and feet were like 20% more accurate to the design it look better in my opinion.
You're right about razorclaw and the predaking head being just a bit off. I really like the parts forming bits becoming their own thing instead of just being extra parts to store away and lose.
Cool looking combiner. I comes together much better then I feared. I don't have the space for such a stylized piece in my collection, but it sure is tempting in combined mode. Thanks for the look at these over the last year or so.
Simply an incredible piece! I have exactly ZERO room to display him, which is why I've literally messed with none of the pieces aside from popping the boxes open for a whiff. I'm actually on the fence as to what I like more, though - the combined mode, or the individual alt modes. I really dig it all - the feet transforming, the sword, etc. Super cool all the way around.
I 100% agree with the chest and head looking a bit too small but either then that it's a very good TF action figure combiner set. The materials, build, hardware, overall engineering, sculpt, paint, look in all modes and value per dollar are very good. This set will display amazingly in any of the 3 modes, my least favorite is the combiner mode and that is manly because of the chest and head size. Thanks for the review Mr. Skullface.
As I told in another instance: stylize 5 predacons and I'm here for it; call Predaking a barbecue of wolves, crabs and monkey and that's. not. predaking.
No!! Am the Same way! I thought he was the largest of the Combiners too! Yes, I think it was due to the Teletran 2 files saying he can lift 500 tons without straining a circuit, no planet is too big, ect and on Top of that the Predaking Toy was much larger than the rest. Also the Machinima Transformers power of the Primes introduced him as a Really large combiner as well. As always great video review Bobby.
I have to admit, I'm impressed. I don't regret not going in on it but it's a nice piece. Honestly, more than anything it makes me want to get a Predaking statue and I don't collect statues. Good review. Nice to see you bring a friend.
It blows my mind that they added a dedicated bot for thighs and the proportions are still trash. Huge hips, tiny waist, short thighs, and a small torso. If the individual bots looked better, I might have gotten this for a non-combiner team, but I remain in search for a Predaking that can stand next to Constructor.
Completely agree. That chest and head mode just take me out of it but I like the rest of it so much so I still go back and forth on this one. Sometimes less is more
I hope you win the bet on an alternate head getting released for this. It’s the only thing aesthetically that just feels off. I have the set and am happy as is, but would be even more so with a replacement head.
Honestly no matter what you collect if you display this on its own isolated from other collections it’ll probably be a show stopper. If you like the design that is
Now I actually want to combine mine. They are currently displayed in bot mode because I love how they look as a team…but this looks crazy in a great way
Its funny that you mention that he should be bigger as if you watch that character intro you speak of his combination is a 2 part step.....step 1 is they combine and then when they are combined into predaking step 2 is predaking then increases in size and DOES get bigger.
Hi!, congratulations for the video and for the magnificent Predaking. I wanted to ask you two questions: -where do I find the leg supports (min. 8:26 of the video)? -where can I find the Predaking hands (min 9:34 of the video)? Is it a robot to buy separately? Thank you.
I had my doubts about this set as time went on, but I have to say that the final result is nothing short of spectacular. It's easily one of the most impressive figures I own. Is it perfect? Nope, mainly because it doesn't gel as well with other combiners due to the stylised look, and I'd love a better/larger head sculpt (plus maybe something a tad more g1 for the chest), but at the end of the day, it's a stunning set and a nifty bit of engineering all round.
I have no attachment to the G1 design, in fact I always thought they looked pretty lame, so I think this thing looks fantastic. And I don't have any issues with the head and torso either. If the head were slightly bigger and had an optional mouthplate that would be cool but not a big deal for me. And I think the torso design ties the aesthetic together even if it does make Razorclaw a pain in the ass with all his pointy bits. The wings help to balance out how narrow the torso looks in my opinion so it all works out. I have half the team already. Still waiting on Rampage and Tantrum to finally assemble this beast.
Forget adding a new head to it, what Cang Toys (or an enterprising 3D print modifier) should do is come up with some feet covers for the animal feet in bot mode for Razorclaw and Divebomb. That's where these guys lose me.
Now I just need a Voltron, Voltes V, and Megazord that scales with this. That would be awesome. TBH, I've collecting Transformers since 2014, and I am really sick of hearing G1 this G1 that, there are collectors who's only thing you'll hear from them is G1. Most of use are in our late 40's and we are still stuck in our kids days with no imagination.
I ordered mini divebomb and got him in yesterday. Very nice figure. Some really tight joints and the instructions for transformation suck but worth the $50. I've pre ordered the rest. The only thing I'm disappointed in with the mini is that the hands and feet are not transformers like in the large version. I thought that was a really cool thing with the big version.
Another thing that hyped him as large and in charge was a bit of artwork - possibly Studio OX given how janky it is - that has a bunch of Combiners going at it...all lookin' like a bunch of Micromasters compared to Predaking. _ALSO_, the G1 toy was literally bigger than the other G1 toy Combiners, so that probably only added to that. Especially considering that in recent years, there's been downsized KOs *of the G1 Predaking toy*, which is just pure lunacy. (I can understand somewhat if someone wanted a downsized KO of like Power of the Primes Predaking to match the other Combiner Wars/PotP peeps. But why would anyone want a downsized G1 Predaking???) This set looks cool, but that's about it. I'm impressed that instead of being the six-man squad they've been hyping (because of the ape that becomes the hips and thighs), it's actually an eight-man squad (because the feet transform, too). But it's definitely not for me. Especially with that goofy tiny Predaking head. I'm gonna have to go back and look at the Razorclaw review again, but did you compare the Cang Toys Razorclaw by itself to the MMC one?
Glad to see some actual posing. Everywhere else I saw this it was A stance or with it's sword planted, but the knees barely bent. I was worried, but after seeing this review I dig it.
Didn't expect this review to be as positive as it is! Cang won't see a cent from me again, but I hope the people who went all-in enjoy it. Very curious to see how the joints last over the next 18 months. That being said, the Dinobots they've teased look horrible, if they weren't labeled as such, you'd think they're some Aliexpress KO. Its a shame Cang fell into the hyper stylized abyss that the 3P Gundam models have Fallen through over the past few years. Just a bunch of sharp angles in a pile.
Your efforts are commendable as always great review. I don't recognize Predaking here what I see is some insane Japanese anime Super Robot combiner that never made it past season 1.......
There are some rubber pads that helps with the feet thankfully. The face sculpt I'm not crazy about but I reckon we'll see something to get it closer to G1 eventually, if not I may paint the silver bits of the mouth gold to reduce it. It has an amazing presence (wings always help that) and overall I'm really happy with it despite its foibles.
One of a handful of times where an updated look far exceeds an OG design and does it better by concept. This is by far the best combiner to date with MS Raiden on that exact point. I don't know what these companies are on but please, more. I don't mind parts-forming but I know damn well that a combiner can be made to work without it, though this set took its creative liberties by making each individual component a figure in its own right. I don't like calling things a 10/10 but like... come on. What are we really shitting on this set for?
Actually, if you’re going for cartoon configuration accuracy, Divebomb and Headstrong are Predaking’s right side, whereas Rampage and Tantrum are his left side.
A G1 head would be the worst thing to happen to this beauty, but you know he's right, some silly head will be made. G1 Predaking is by far one of the ugliest G1 designs and lore wise, sucks. THIS is what Predaking should have looked like. The only other acceptable version is the MMC Feral Rex. As to why Bobby thinks he should be bigger, it's cause Predaking should be bigger. The Teletran II files said: "Predaking has no equal. As a weapon, has no known weaknesses." Well he just hadn't met SkyLynx yet.
I’m starting to think that Constructor is just never going to be topped. They just did it right. And for some reason, no other company will follow their lead.
@@r.c.r.vankempen9235 just curious why you prefer partsforming to getting whole new transformers? I love monkey pants, dog feet and crab hands. I wish every combiner did it the same.
@@Darksbane100 it's just a preverance. I understand and get your point, but i want my combiner to look more cohesive as a whole. Doesn't take away what they did is quite awesome that i do agree. But then you must agree that what mmc did with ther combiners is the next level. Yes i know the combiner isn't masterpiece scale ;)
I don't like the presence. It's not for me. I have an issue with that skinny waste, and small upper body in proportion to the rest of him. I am impressed by his size, and he should be bigger than the rest of the combiners. I still love the aesthetic of the MMC one, but it's not big enough, and it's not stable. I'm going to hold off to see if Zeta sold the blue prints to their Pretaking to someone else. Possibly Moon Studios?
Has anyone else had problems with the legs being different height ryno when transformed into his leg mode is higher than bull in his leg mode making him lean over to one side more can anyone help cheers
Bobby: There's something about this thing that has plagued it from the beginning..." Me: Yeah, the fact that it's effing ugly and just looks like a giant pile of squares and triangles.
I don't see the point in having bespoke pant/shoe guys only to STILL have to attach miscellaneous other gubbins to them to get them to do their job. The excuse I usually hear is that having the pants turn into a guy is better than having them just be separate parts... but if you wind up with separate parts anyway you haven't gained anything. The final product is impressive but ultimately there's just too many design decisions here that don't work for me. Can't say I regret bailing. Also, the upper torso is just too small in relation to everything else.
When they first started coming out, I was all in. Then they started to move away, further and further from the G1 Aesthetic. Then there are the Color choices. Too many. Very ZOIDish. Not my style, as I was hoping for an Ode to G1. Stylized can work, if it's done tastefully. I would be curious as to how the Team would have turned out, had they kept to their original Game plan. I can overlook the Feet and Hips, it's original and more importantly it works. Is it Very Impressive? You betcha. He is Definitely Imposing. Would I have preferred a more G1 Aesthetic? ABSOLUTELY. I also would much have preferred the Original color palette throughout. Too many colors, just makes it too busy. If there are upgrades in the future, I would like to see GOLD Foiled Wings, a better G1 Accurate Sword and Head. They could also REPAINT Rampage and Tantrum to match the others, I think this would help. Criticism for the vid, I would like to have seen actual comparisons of the others, such as Devastator and Superion, not a stand in. I have him, they will neither be in Alt or Bot modes, and until a BETTER more G1 Accurate one comes along, he will be a place holder. Thanks for the review Always appreciated
This is both accurate to the character of Predaking and a realistic approach to the toy, in that it's a dangerous living weapon. If you threw this at someone, you'd either knock them out or leave multiple lacerations.
Or both
If the joints ware not easly moved tho i am with ya
Predaking looks like hes a god damned ####ing wakanda styled voltron bwahahahahab😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If you think Cang Toys Predaking has the same leg braces as Stone Cold Steve Austin, give me a HELL YEAH!
Amazing video, thanks caleb and bobby
So Saint Seiya and Gundam had a big spiky baby 😆
Great job, gentlemen. Thanks for reviewing this. I'm glad I decided to get this set.
Head looks REALLY good when it lights up!🔥
the g1 Predaking Toy was the biggest combiner, that's probably why you feel like he should be bigger
The chest and head reminds me of a Megazord.
I definitely dig this design over the g1 a whole lot. It manages to still pay respect to the g1 while incorporating a lot of angular modern elements to the figures. If I had the money & space, i’d definitely pick up.
The Zoids aesthetic is what sold it to me
Personally I feel it’s just missing a few too many design ques. I think if the head, lion head, and feet were like 20% more accurate to the design it look better in my opinion.
You're right about razorclaw and the predaking head being just a bit off.

Bobby "so many pointy things on this guy" Face!
I heard theirs a mini version now. I just wish their was a CHUG scale version.
Cool looking combiner. I comes together much better then I feared. I don't have the space for such a stylized piece in my collection, but it sure is tempting in combined mode. Thanks for the look at these over the last year or so.

Im fine with the design choices, just wish the coloring was toned down a bit. The combined head gets lost in the details/colors of the chest, etc.
Bring some peanut butter for all the jelly I'm seeing in the comments!! CAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNG TOYYYYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSSS!!!

The "mouth" could just be a stylized version of the faceplate, similar to the Oni masks of ancient Japan.

Honestly, more than anything it makes me want to get a Predaking statue and I don't collect statues.
Good review. Nice to see you bring a friend.
Have you heard anything about an upgrade kit yet for this piece? Love the video, awesome job.

If the individual bots looked better, I might have gotten this for a non-combiner team, but I remain in search for a Predaking that can stand next to Constructor.
All the other components are fine, they basically just need to change a lot about razorclaw, from what I’m seeing.
Completely agree. That chest and head mode just take me out of it but I like the rest of it so much so I still go back and forth on this one.
Sometimes less is more
I sooo cant afford this...But I did just order it...cant wait til it shows up...
Good looking set. I might pick up a set for myself. Or at least, the mini set they're coming out with, since I'll likely have room for that.
I got some cheap mouse pads from Amazon to keep my figures from slipping on smooth surfaces.
Looks like a combo of Bayformers and the monster from that commercial that says, "That's toxic metal...in yo lungs!" 😉
Looks like he's wearing a diaper 😂
I hope you win the bet on an alternate head getting released for this. It’s the only thing aesthetically that just feels off. I have the set and am happy as is, but would be even more so with a replacement head.

Another great review bobby. had the feat wrong on mine, he dove off the TV stand mon moring. Needs ratcheting ankles forward and back
Oh no... Did yours survive?
@@jacks1678 the lion tail the big gold pice it's attached too broke off otherwise fine
Good review! I'm curious if Cang will release a repaint that's more G1 reminiscent. I'm still on the fence about this guy but he sure looks awesome.
Emgo said its the best combiner.
It is imo!
@@fernandoflores3161 i got my last figure 2 weeks ago but i still haven’t combined the set yet.
@@donaldjackson4456 it's quite heavy, so just be aware of the weight distribution

Try removing the mane pieces that connect separately around the lion head. It gives it a cleaner look and allows the lion head to look more g1.
Don’t worry, he’ll have that Volcanicus to stand against in 2 years.

Not for me. It looks like a mixture of a power ranger megazord and a gundamn with undefined results.
The lithograph with predaking fighting superior and defensor is pretty cool and shows how big he could be too
The way this thing all combines together you could really day it's... groovey.
I think the issue is the chest doesn’t look enough like a lions mane and the head is way to small, other wise this is niiiiice
Head reminds me of the Dinobot combiner. And anyone remember Bobby’s first review when the elbow couldn’t hold itself up? What happened with that?
Now I just need a Voltron, Voltes V, and Megazord that scales with this. That would be awesome. TBH, I've collecting Transformers since 2014, and I am really sick of hearing G1 this G1 that, there are collectors who's only thing you'll hear from them is G1.

I think cang toys is doing a mini version of this combiner which is gonna be an interesting set, a legends ish predaking would be really cool to have

The transformers side of me doesnt really like this
The Gundam side of me really loves this
You didn't mention how much range he has in a 'pec flyes' motion, which is rather important.
Another thing that hyped him as large and in charge was a bit of artwork - possibly Studio OX given how janky it is - that has a bunch of Combiners going at it...all lookin' like a bunch of Micromasters compared to Predaking. _ALSO_, the G1 toy was literally bigger than the other G1 toy Combiners, so that probably only added to that.

Preda being a center that plays basketball wears two special knee braces like Patrick Ewing.
Glad to see some actual posing. Everywhere else I saw this it was A stance or with it's sword planted, but the knees barely bent.
I was worried, but after seeing this review I dig it.
These look so cool, but the price tag is going to be the main concern
I would own this if I had the space for it. But I’m going to wait for the legends sized one.
Looks pretty solid! Gotta give them credit for completing an ambitious set but it's not for me.
Didn't expect this review to be as positive as it is! Cang won't see a cent from me again, but I hope the people who went all-in enjoy it. Very curious to see how the joints last over the next 18 months.

What hapend to turn you off Cang
Damn. What's got you off about Cang Toys :( ?
Your efforts are commendable as always great review. I don't recognize Predaking here what I see is some insane Japanese anime Super Robot combiner that never made it past season 1.......
Personally it just looks way too busy.
Yeah, less is more in this case.
Depending on the size of the case 😂jk
I don't know. Maybe it needs a better waist? The monkey pants are pretty wide. Then the chest connection is just tiny.
I'm not seeing predaking here. But it's impressive
There are some rubber pads that helps with the feet thankfully. The face sculpt I'm not crazy about but I reckon we'll see something to get it closer to G1 eventually, if not I may paint the silver bits of the mouth gold to reduce it. It has an amazing presence (wings always help that) and overall I'm really happy with it despite its foibles.
His face looks goofy as hell
I'm actually kind of disappointed this didn't turn out to be a disaster, given it was such a hot topic for the longest time for a number of reasons.
I’d say Michael Bay approves but these bots have distinguishable colors so he probably hates it.

The excuse I usually hear is that having the pants turn into a guy is better than having them just be separate parts... but if you wind up with separate parts anyway you haven't gained anything. The final product is impressive but ultimately there's just too many design decisions here that don't work for me. Can't say I regret bailing. Also, the upper torso is just too small in relation to everything else.
The extra parts don't have to be there. It is fine without them.
When they first started coming out, I was all in. Then they started to move away, further and further from the G1 Aesthetic. Then there are the Color choices. Too many. Very ZOIDish. Not my style, as I was hoping for an Ode to G1. Stylized can work, if it's done tastefully. I would be curious as to how the Team would have turned out, had they kept to their original Game plan. I can overlook the Feet and Hips, it's original and more importantly it works.
Is it Very Impressive? You betcha. He is Definitely Imposing.
Would I have preferred a more G1 Aesthetic? ABSOLUTELY.
I also would much have preferred the Original color palette throughout. Too many colors, just makes it too busy.
If there are upgrades in the future, I would like to see GOLD Foiled Wings, a better G1 Accurate Sword and Head.
They could also REPAINT Rampage and Tantrum to match the others, I think this would help.
Criticism for the vid, I would like to have seen actual comparisons of the others, such as Devastator and Superion, not a stand in.
I have him, they will neither be in Alt or Bot modes, and until a BETTER more G1 Accurate one comes along, he will be a place holder.
Thanks for the review
Always appreciated
I'm so glad I'm switching to legends now this is to big
This is too busy for my taste.
