Hasbro’s month of reveals via their Official Transformers Facebook page continues, with our first official images of the recently leaked Beast Hunters Deluxe Ripclaw, showing off her true colors, as well as giving a better look at her beast mode.
Ripclaw also bears a striking resemblence to Ser-Ket in the currently running IDW Transformers Prime: Rage of the Dinobots miniseries.

Hum, looks interesting,
not sure if i'll pick one up

All of a sudden I'm reminded about the move that Hasbro pulled with Ironhide/Kup, in that the design was made for one character, but then released as another (at least for Western markets).
I really would like for this to be released as Ser-Ket at some point. I much prefer her colours anyway.

I'm pretty sure the those catalog pics are made way earlier than the package art

For whatever reasons, most of the Predacon promo shots have this odd faction symbol. It's more similar to the Decepticon and BW Pred symbols than the one they seem to be using now; perhaps a earlier version?

Well in the comic she says she is the head of the group called the forged.
Maybe that explains it.
That or, ripclaw is the repaint of this figure. (Ser-ket)

^and seeing the picture of her on the box and comparing it directly to the official shots, yeah her insignia is definitely different.

This Ripclaw lass certainly has colours pretty close to Ser-Ket's from Rage of the Dinobots! Less black, more red, slightly different colour placement…
Kantus Prime
Hasbro might…..

I'm going to regret this, but …
Are you arguing against using the right name for the wrong colors, or repaints in general? If it's the first, well Cliffjumper & Tapout & Bumper area all seperate characters, just like Ser-ket and Ripclaw are separate characters. Ripclaw has Ripclaw's colors, and Ser-ket has Ser-ket's colors.
If you're arguing against repaints … you're 29 years too late …
And if you think Cliffjumper, Tapout, and Bumper are all the same person or that Ser-ket and Riplcaw are the same person … I don't believe you.

call the toy what you want… not like someone's holding you at gunpoint making sure you call it ripclaw.

I will always and forever call bullshit on that.
These are clearly reptiles.
SMOG
Manticores, in their original mythic presentation are supposed to have a human face on a lion's body. It's one of their traits. It often gets simplified by contemporary fantasy artists as a lion's head, but that's not strictly accurate. Or… as accurate as a legend can be, anyway.

Her uh..predacon insignia looks..different
CelticMutt
Yes.
I mentioned this before but I guess it got lost in the shuffle – but since Hasbro owns both WotC/DnD and Transformers, that means dragons aren't lizards, they're mammals.

I think Corhada is a Wyrm, not a snake.

Are we going to get into talk of guess the sex of my Cat now then ?
Oh and what next Tako Tank is a Girl too ?
Speaking of which that reminds me I still don't have a Tako Tank Bath toy.
I wonder if any of the mainline Beast Hunters Preds will be insects or Spiders or something other than a dragon like beastie ?
The Kreo-O Line seems to suggest there might be ?

most of the time tho i have seen them with lion heads. she wouldn't have a mane but lionesses don't so no problem there. ( i sorely miss the Myth Wars project that was going around here)
