Going almost hand in hand with our last news story, we have more unofficial Predaking toy news. 2005 Board member, Cenokibble, has stopped by to share with us prototype pictures of Mastermind Creations‘ first offering from their Reformated Ferocicons project. First teased at this past years TFcon 3rd Party Panel, Project Bull aka Not-Tantrum is revealed, giving us our first good look at the design aesthetic these figures will have. Shown in these pictures are the Bull mode, bull mode with weapons attached (A G1 style foot/cannon and daggers), leg mode, and of course, robot mode. Complete with evil sneer. Also shown in these pics is the combined mode’s sword. Named the Oppenheimer sword, It practically dwarfs Voyager Classic Prime.
See all these amazing pictures by clicking the title bar. The fans once again have a choice with their 3rd Party combiners. The only question is if you plan on starting your new combiner with a closed fist or a leg up? Discuss in our 3rd party forum!

You realize that diecast is a hollow value, right?
The zinc alloy used is incredibly cheap, only moderately more expensive than the plastic. All the expense comes from the dramatically increased shipping weight.

I'm aware of Sky Lynx's "stats." Not questioning his superiority: just amused by it.

I suggest you have a look at skylynx tech specs he is way more than a match for PK.
CVprowl

I honestly can't remember.

fair enough. In that case, I want a 3rd party version of Raiden.
What's so awesome about Hexatron's price? There isn't even any die-cast.

The shoulder's ball joint looks like it works similar to MP Starscream's null rays. Just sayin'.
Always amused me that these guys could never defeat Sky Lynx in the cartoons. Like Tom getting his ass handed to him by Jerry.

MMC is releasing a lot of stuff this year. Looks fantastic.

The Crow

Clearly the sig has already been changed…

and some US fans have embraced the japanese trilogy as the rightful heir of awesomeness to the original sunbow toon. my son and i love those toons. he is rapidly learning to read the english captions.

just make up your own shit. i adapt what i want from whatever continuity i want for whatever reason i want. its fun.
to me Predaking is the biggest and the best. the most dangerous combiner, the most skilled group of hunters in the galaxy. probably MORE badass than they have EVER been dipicted in any form of transformers media. to me they are the combiner equivalent of sixshot and they would work together sometimes. mmc is really my favorite third party right now for tackling some of my favorite characters.
… and the price they gave us sixshot for? freakin awesome. if they get these predacons down around $75 each they are going to sell A LOT of bots.

For many US fans the headmaster series feels disconnected – rightly so as the overseas character histories and to some extent personalities differed – that said – what's important to one person is important to one person….

It's from the Dreamwave Run of the comics, they done a series of posters and that was one of them.
Nerds will be nerds when it comes to "canon" and in the end it depends on what you like. As some good people on this board have said "My Collection my rules!". It's what you view as being important that matters.

Is that from a comic or is that just an artist's rendition? I read on the TF cartoon wiki that some G1 fans don't consider Headmasters as part of the canon.
