Looks more like BW Wolfang's mutant head, how he looked in the comics.

On another note, I might get all the Predacons, and ignore the spiky vehicles.

Looks alright, better than Lazerback. Still not sold on this line at all. The spiky vehicles are growing on me but I'm not picking them up if they're just new versions of the same figures I already have. So far it's just seeming like a good time for me to bow out of the collecting game for awhile and recoup my finances.

and she doesnt look female enough.
the figure also doesnt look to good either.
BUT, i will give the figure a chance.
ill wait til i see a review of her for my final choice.

That said, I generally hate the head-cowl look on a Transformer anyway. (Makes me think of the wolf and dog Beast Wars era.) It's like the toy line is trying to draw in the superhero-action-figure fans with the mask, proportions, and general spandex-tights look.
I'd rather they look like robots. Bulky, mechy, squared-off, G1-ish, robots... ala the fansproject Swindle bot.
But I digress.
Given, for a younger audience they are fun dragons and monsters. Though they're not for me, I do see that they're good animal designs and pleasing (albeit very bright) color schemes. I can see a lot of Beast Wars fans getting really excited.

All the vehicles in this line are nothing more than colorful rip-offs from the Mad Max films. I cannot see one redeeming point in this series whatsoever. I'm sure the 4 to 9 year olds will get a kick out of it but honestly, I cannot see what everyone else finds so appealing about any of these. I try to be open minded as far as the new toys are concerned but this new line just seems like a train wreck in progress. Those who do like them though, feel free to enjoy my share of them.

Other than that, the mold actually looks decent. Not quite persuasive enough for me to snag her, but close.

I thought it was going to be grey too. Were the original photos/packaging that off? I like these colors two but if there's going to be a running variant/change I don't know which one to get.

How come Predaking and Laserback have the dragon head predacon symbol?
I think these colours suit the body type better than Ser-Ket, but his character sounds alot cooler, and to whoever is saying she doesn't look feminine- TFA Strika is female but she's as bulky as they come XD

1. If it was done correctly.And now that i look at her more, i dont think the colors could look better on the figure, meaning i think the choice of colors is a fail to begin with, and no, i dont hate the scheme.
2. I dont need boobs or high heels, it would just be a little bit more consistent if she looked more like a female.
3. Im not a fan of those either. My problems with her are her lack of wing mobility and what i fear is a lack of a neck or head joint. If the head can move up and down, i'll be fine.
4. .....

OK, I'm missing something. Who's Ser-Ket?

If anything, they will be the weapons they wield here in America that transform in either animalistic forms similar to the Decepticons' Arms Microns or humanoid forms.

And the weird part is that one or more of the Jagex moderators overseeing Transformers: Universe appear to use the same emblem and variants of it. Predacons arriving to the upcoming MMO?

See, now if Hasbro or Takara had the sense to repaint Ripclaw into those colors, I would buy that. That actually looks really nice.

Fixed it for you.
With the exception of the retail version of the FOC Combaticons and their combined form Bruticus (first ones that comes to mind), Hasbro makes fiction-accurate toys as well. Takara just makes them a bit more detailed and shinier.

Lost it after "shelves".

Because we just learned about it. Ultra Magnus called Ser-Ket a she in the latest Rage of the Dinobots issue.

I agree. Seems to me this figure would have benefitted from double jointed knees. I also kinda like the robot mode, but as a Transformer, I find lacking. Too much "lean forward and roar" for me.

Yeah, I feel the same way about Lazorback and voyager Predaking; they look really cool in their dragon modes. I think after I get a nice complete set of Preds I'll leave them in their beast modes in my Prime display.
