Thanks to site sponsor BigBadToyStore we have our first image of Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Predaking in robot mode. We got our first glimpse of Predaking's dragon mode back during NYCC 2012. Check out the images mirrored below.
The individual pre-order is sold out, but he can still be pre-ordered in the two piece set along with Beast Optimus Prime, who has yet to be revealed.

Do we really know for sure that there is one? Could it have been rumor, mistranslation, or incorrect assumption on someone's part?

Where do the Beast Mode hind legs vanish in to?
Also, is Hasbro FINALLY ditching the "Powerizer" gimmick on Voyagers?

ok, I'll admit, I'm interested now. I'm definitely holding out on waiting to see more of the "leader" class version, but this guy has me sold. Hasbro, congratulations on a Beastformer who doesn't just standup, and have a fold down beast head to reveal the bot head. I think the beast mode hind legs fold up and become the back half of the bot mode legs, but they're well hidden and I for one like how it's done, from what I can see. 2 distinct modes ... well played!

What do you mean "finally"? It was the gimmick for one size class in one toyline. Only 8 figures, assuming Skyquake ever makes it to market. And it hasn't even been a full year. I know it wasn't a popular gimmick but you're making it sound like it infected the entire brand.

That looks beautiful. I'm probably going to wait on the larger figure, as it seems to be the more scale accurate figure after watching the promo of season 3 at NYCC, but Hasbro is really cleaning up their act here. 
Now, if we get our own mold of Smokescreen & Shockwave, Hasbro just won.
Where do you get any indication he meant the entire brand? The "Powerizer" gimmick was strictly PRiD, so I'm sure he was referring to those Voyagers.

Yep. We're also getting missiles for the larger Predaking (although I can't tell if they're spring-loaded). Also, Beast Hunters Wheeljack's Falcon Spear has a firing capture ring and Lazerback has firing acid missiles. I'm so happy they stopped ignoring firing projectiles.

The "energon series" includes Armada, Energon, and Cybertron, and it's called the Unicron Trilogy.
On that note, Scourge was in Transformers Cybertron, not Energon.

You think he makes it sound more widespread because he used the word "finally." You're keying in on a word that defines a long time. A long time can vary, it doesn't have to be more than a year. 8 months can be considered a "long time." Let's not forget that the PRiD Voyager figures will be on shelves a little while longer, which will probably hit your "full year" minimum.

Hmm. I'm rethinking my preorder, here....
On the one hand, he looks awesome. On the other, I forgot we were receiving a Weaponizers size version. However...the Weaponizers have been really shoddy looking to me, I can't imagine he'd be much better. I know we saw pics of it, but I'm assuming that once he hits production, he'll be hardly better than Optimus and Bumblebee now.
I'm conflicted...I think I might just stick with the Voyager.

robot mode is dissapointing and the dragon mode looks worse then it did before.
HOWEVER i also just read for the first time about that "beast optimus prime" toy.
does this mean that for the first time a truck morphin' prime is going to pull a transmetal-esque evolution in the show, like how primal did in beast wars?
or is the toy only being made for the money?

He'll still be a truck, but with spikes and stuff. We saw a Cyberverse Leader figure last week. (A completely new mold)
We don't know if the Voyager will be a new mold, or modified like the Deluxe/Revealers are.
And yeah, being made for money.

I preordered him a while back and will be keeping it. I'm really digging the orange because it'll really pop on my TFP shelf. Also, I really like that the beast back appears to form the robot legs and the dragon legs are hidden (at least in the pic) in robot mode.
I'm curious to see the larger version too though, be it Supreme, Weaponizer, Leader, etc. If it's another good model that is different enough to justify (maybe even just by the size), then I might be getting both!
P.S. I believe I was the one who brought this to everyone's attention with my post earlier (http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/robot-mode-photo-of-transformers-prime-voyager-predaking-t91117.php). Could I possibly get a shout out for the news find too?! Either way, I'm just glad I could share this with all my fellow Seibertronians! I've been enjoying the discussion (as usual)!

*sighs* I'm horribly conflicted, here.
After seeing this, I had to dig up pics of the Leader Class. It's massive, it has light up features (which are not a selling point for me, but it usually means it's larger...) and it has full weapons.
On the other hand, the Voyager seems to have a more intricate transformation (whereas the Leader seems to just stand up, fold down, etc.) and it's cheaper. I dunno.
I'll keep the preorder for now, but I'm rather tempted to cancel and go for the Leader due to it's massive wing span.

One could easily connect Mechtech and Powerizers together, given the very similar gimmick. I for one am also glad that the Powerizer/Mechtech gimmick is done with, because as far as I was concerned, they were the same thing, and the whole reason I didn't collect DotM.

It's also very similar to the Mechtech gimmick in DOTM, so if you consider it a continuation of said gimmick (I do), it's a welcome change. [Edit: Lord Onixprime agrees also

LOOOOOOL! That would be most hilarious.
As for my opionion on the figure: Meh. I think I can safely pass on this line unless they continue to release some legit, non-spikey vehicle modes.

This is actually better than I expected. Totally kibble-free, if you don't count the wings, and the bot mode's proportions are excellent. Not a fan of the guns, but that's easily forgivable.
Curious to see what the leader class toy brings to the table.

I know it's not the first, but given that most of the beast figures are either "stand up" transformations, or shell formers, this is a VERY welcome sight. And I will admit, there have been some very good beasts, but majority are underwhelming and repetative feeling. And considering the rest of the BH line (remolds, that have been a disappoint for most people), the downsizing the last couple years, weapon gimicks AND that he's getting an impressive larger figure, I had very low expecations for this.

I think the beast mode hind legs fold up and become the back half of the bot mode legs, but they're well hidden and I for one like how it's done, from what I can see. 2 distinct modes ... well played!

A bit underwhelmed, but I'll still get it nonetheless.

I was quite interested until I noticed the gun. If there's going to be a leader class I think I'll wait for that, cos clearly he's going to be big in the cartoon.
We'd all better pray to Primus that they don't give him the Weaponizer treatment and screw him up like OP.

I wanna thank hasbro for ruining TFP for me. But I will say this figure isn't that bad it's just laserbeak and the other deluxe figures look like crap to me. So as far as I'm concerned the TFP toy line is over for me I will now be only looking forward to downgraded deluxe generation/FOC figures. At least I have 3rd party to keep me happy when ever they release.

Lazerback! Not Laserbeak.
I told you people were going to get easily confused.
And, the addition of Predacons ruin TFP for you? They're not gonna stop making carformers if that's your dilemma.

That's pretty goddamn COOL!!! 
Guess Hasbro has shown anyone who was complaining about the back legs become legs and front legs become arms.
I'm still a little confused as to whether there is indeed an leader sized figure in the works but I'd like the biggest Predaking figure they are willing to give us.

No, the front legs are the arms. It's the hind legs that flipped the bird on the complainers.
There is, but the size class is unknown. Ultra, Supreme, Weaponizer...it's all speculation at this point.

looks like the back legs on that one will be the legs of the robot.
can't say I'm particularly impressed with either offering. Maybe get one if he's awesome on the show, or I end up being able to get him for dirt cheap somewhere down the line, but right now he's not a must have.
