Predaking Titan Class Figure (Power of the Primes)

The grand finale. Titan Class Predaking is enormous. Far too large for my photobox so the lighting of these photos is not super great but I think the combined form of the Predacons still looks pretty impressive.

The box was equally gigantic.

Razorclaw Predaking Titan Class Figure (Power of the Primes)

Razorclaw is the leader of the Predacons. He transforms into a robotic lion with little blasters on his shoulders and a big honkin' cannon on his back.

The black visor gives him a bit of haunting look that contrasts well with the bright yellow helmet and orange faceplate. The golden mane really pops too. Razorclaw also forms the central torso of Predaking and houses Predaking's head in his back. Razorclaw's articulation in robot mode is pretty decent. Better than the leg 'bots and Divebomb because of the lack of backpack and probably about the same as Rampage.

Headstrong Predaking Titan Class Figure (Power of the Primes)

Headstrong transforms into a rhinoceros and Predaking's other leg. He's one of my favourites largely due to becoming a rhino. I love rhinos.

The head is ridiculous as it's just a robot face poking out of the bottom of a rhino head but they do a good job of it. Headstrong has great arm articulation but the giant Predaking thigh hanging off his back gets in the way of posing a bit.

Divebomb Predaking Titan Class Figure (Power of the Primes)

Divebomb transforms into a bird and Predaking's torso. The red face really pops out of the black bird head. It's very Voltron but also evokes other kinds of bird headdresses. The wings are huge and awesome. Divebomb might be my second favourite (after Headstrong) of the Predacons, largely due to the robot mode.

Torox Predaking Titan Class Figure (Power of the Primes)

Torox (originally Tantrum) transforms into a bull and a leg for Predaking. He's a bit of a brick with a ginormous backpack in robot mode but still fun.

I love the orange, yellow, and red colour scheme of the Predacons and Torox has a nice balance of colours. The yellow face really pops from the red bull head.

Rampage Predaking Titan Class Figure (Power of the Primes)

Rampage is part of the Titan Class Predaking box set and transforms into a tiger and the left arm of Predaking.  Rather than exhausting myself with a week's worth of posts for the individual 'bots and their combined mode I'm going to spread this out over the next couple months interspersed with other posts so I don't get bored. It'll be worth the wait though...

Elita-1 Voyager Class Figure (Power of the Primes)

As a nerd with collection sensibilities I generally like to impose some sort of order to what I do on this blog even if occasionally that system is just doing something different for variety's sake. I have been a little all over the place when it comes to posts about Transformers but the majority have been about the "Titans Return" phase of the Transformers Generations line because that's what was on the shelves when I started. And while I've hopped back to figures from other times I kind of had it in my brain that I was going to be roughly chronological with any new purchases and thus the latest "Power of the Primes" phase would not get blog attention for a while. But then Hasbro decided to lean even harder into the nostalgia factor (which Transformers Generations has been built upon since it launched in 2010) by using a bunch of foil stickers on the larger figures. As a child in the eighties and nineties I remember the sticker sheets that would come with various toys and how frustrating it could be to place the stickers in the right spots. So on the one hand I'm glad the stickers came pre-applied on the other hand they are stickers whose corners have a tendency to peel in certain areas, especially on Transformers. So I had noticed that Elita-1's stickers were just starting to have this problem and I felt better get pictures of her now before the stickers get any worse.
