With Mastermind Creations and Unique Toys both making unlicensed Predakings, does the world need a third not-Predaking? Well – a third one is coming, ready or not. TFC Toys throws their hat into the ring with their next combiner project after the completion of Uranos. Ares, named for the ancient Greek god of war, is their own version of Predaking, and today they have posted images of the first member of the set, a not-Razorclaw named Nemean. We have uncolored grey prototype images of Nemean in all three of his modes, robot, lion and gestalt body. You can check them out attached to this post.
(Fun fact – Nemean’s name comes from the Nemean lion, a fearsome beast in Greek mythology which Hercules had to face as one of his twelve labors)

Or they draw their name from Razorclaw, who founded them after the Decepticon defeat and named them after his old team. (According to his Timelines Bio Card).

This'll be buried in mere hours, but I've got an interesting theory on that. *Just as there are many names and ideas surrounding the same source (like the Last Autobot being the Decepticon's Ultimate Warrior), so names change surrounding other myths. "Predacon" is actually a Decepticon pronunciation of an ancient Quintesson word that is the same source for the phrase "Till All Are One." So by saying "Predacon", Decepticons are recommitting their stance till all battles are 'won'. And, being a combiner who doesn't suffer from stupidity or infighting like Menasaur and Bruticus, Predaking is truly of one mind, fulfilling the word "Predacon" and becoming the greatest warrior.
Beast Era Predacons draw their title from the Decepticon warriors of old, more than the long forgotten word. By the time they come around, the meaning of the phrase "Predacon" has been lost, and it is more a warrior's title or a mark of honor that was just taken on by the entire sect.

There's now a new mega-thread started for this project since the OP isn't keeping the first post updated with new images.

Necio, is that you? I kid I kid…
Great job and welcome! Hope you do more of these as the prototype pics become more available.

I keep looking at that little chunk on the top of the lion's head and think it would be (if it were a Hasbro toy) an obvious buttion for a chompy mouth gimmick.
Transformed
Nice.
I like how Nemean looks like he's got some bling

Thank you everyone for the feedback Glad i was able to put something out there others could enjoy. I updated the previous images with a watermark after learning how careless i was with other retailers trying to pass it off as official work. tisk tisk.
I'm busy working on the other images from TFC as well as a lil something else which i hope to post up soon.

Hey! You can't have fun here.
The answers no. Next thing you know they'll make a monkey not a truck from these guys…
agentcastle
that's a nice lookin' S-O-B… too bad he's gonna forever be relegated to a torso… "look daddy – i'm a torso…."
Ghilz
I like the head sculpt, but the head size is too small.
Jehsee
Wonderful… please do! I'm sure the mods would be willing to merge this thread with it.
CVprowl
great ideas for the megathread trailbreaker. i also love your digibash. this is going to be a tough decision in regards to which to purchase. hopefully some more early bird specials will help make my decision easier.

It's been confirmed to be bigger. That and the head design of TFC's Nemean is the one thing that makes me go from 100% MMC to 97% MMC.
the_last_toltek
I honestly think i'm going to wait til this third one comes out. Most i wanna see scale, if it's smaller than MMC, i'll probably pass.
Torque
It's funny you say that-I've always wondered if the Predacons of BW call themselves Predacons as an extension of the G1 Predacons. In that case, wouldn't having them have those faces be a good thing?
