If they're intending Ramhorn to be an arm I just hope they've fixed the waist on him cos Brawl is useless as an arm with the faulty waist.

I don't know. It seems like every bit as much a hot mess as the individuals.
It's still not doing anything for me, and it still doesn't feel BWish.

Brawl doesn't make a good arm. Too bulk than the slimness of the jets.

I... Love it. It's quite good actually. Surprisingly good. But not $400 good. |

I thought from the start this would look great combined. The only thing I don't like is that Tarantulas spoils the colour scheme; he should be black. It even looks like Ramhorn's drill has been beefed up from the original image - now we can see that's definitely Nosecone.
It's awesome. I want it. But... we also know it's going to cost in the region of £250+ which is MENTAL for moulds we will have multiples of by the time the line is done. £250 for repaints with new heads? that's a HUGE ask. If this was a £90 boxset like Victorion - ordered hands down, but £250 would buy a lot of other toys.

That's some clever box art. The greeny-blue leg is back so is in shadow and looks black too, and the black hands are shoved way up in front, to make the entire thing look a lot more cohesive.

Or for around a third to a quarter of the price I could have one of the similar in style Hasbro CW boxsets which has 6 rather than 5 toys in it.
It's a tough choice!

I love the fact it says 'adult collectable' on a box full of moulds exactly the same as the ones sold to kids  |

While I love the artist, and it's good artwork, I'm kinda disappointed, but not surprised.
I feel that this homogenizes Predacus even further, and makes him feel even less special. Just another addition to the glut of CW repaint sets.
The retooling doesn't even stand out as half the coming sets have some level of retooling.

We know 4 of the deluxes: Brawl, Rook, Breakdown & Skydive on Predicus
Does Air Raid as Terrorsaur count as a fifth? He's a remould of Skydive
Either way there are at least TWO more deluxe uses to come
And who's the Legend?

Is this the first time all of the con toys in a year will have the same unifying theme?

And they said that the Golden Ticket legend is a variant of a figure they're using. So, Powerglide as Lazorbeak for standard, and golden ticket is Hydra? Originals are basically the same thing, only Hydra has silver on his wings. |

If we've got BW as a theme this year then there's an obvious repaint that hasn't showed up anywhere yet: Generations Sky Byte as TM2 Cybershark..... Which in turn would lend itself to a repaint in the original Cybershark colours.
The downside is TM2 Cybershark, aka Battle Armour Crappy Little Elf, was one of the most universally hated TF toys out there and only saved by it's CR/RID repaint!
