    Transformers Greatest Moments (Toys):

     

    G1 Predaking (1986)

     

    As a little kid during G1, I always wanted one of the combiners. Somehow, I ended up having 1-2 members of 1 group but never the full set.

    (Brawl and Swindle of Combaticons, Dead end of Stunticons, etc) The closest I got was 3 parts of Computron.

    In 2013, Hasbro put out a Predaking boxset for $120, but I was able to get it for $50.

    This set replaces the yellow with gold from a 2010 Japan release and throws in an extra sword for the big guy himself.

     

    Predaking is awesome bc of the following:

     

    -11 inches tall. He is the tallest of the US G1 combiners!  He towers over Devastator, Defensor, Superion, Bruticus, Computron et al.

    -First animal combiner!

    - Despite all 5 being roughly the same size, it looks good combined (whereas the central torso was bigger than the limbs in most others)

    --His hulking muscular proportions (His modern 2018 POTP version is very lean and lithe)

    --His hands have spikes molded in and his toes have double-barrelled guns molded in!

    --Razorclaw's gun transforms into his gun. A small but nice touch

    --Rotating/flexing forearms in combined mode
