3P company Shockwave Lab have update their Weibo account with images of their new accesory: SL-37 Upgrade Kit for Power Of The Primes Predaking.
This is a simple but very smart upgrade kit. It includes a waist/torso filler which can also be used as a missile rack when for Divebomb. Additionaly, a pair of snap-on hand spikes. These small details sure make a great improvement on the look of the Combiner.
No price or release date available at the moment, but you can check out the images attached to this news post after the jump.

hello, did you see any comparison video between predaking potp and weijiang and it seemed to me that the original is slightly higher ??? And if so, what would be the piece or the one that makes it taller? And another question, the DNA kit for the potp could fit in the weijiang ???? I hope you all understand, use a google translator since I speak Spanish, thank you all very much!

hola, ¿viste algún video de comparación entre predaking potp y weijiang y me pareció que el original es un poco más alto? Y si es así, ¿cuál sería la pieza o la que la hace más alta? ¿Y otra pregunta, el kit de ADN para el potp podría encajar en el weijiang? Espero que todos entiendan, usen un traductor de google ya que hablo español, ¡muchas gracias a todos!

I’m about to order this for the ko. I don’t think the knuckles work but I’m more interested in the other parts anyway.

Anyone here know if these would fit the WJ KO?

The back filler is great. I got mine a couple days ago, from Unclebilly for $16 shipped.
Since it’s 3D printed, my first thought was, This was $16? Then I remembered the Shapeways Warbo Computron chest is $35 all by itself, and that’s BEFORE shipping. If this were from Shapeways, it would have been double the price.lol
Quick comparison, using it on both the POTP and Weijiang versions:

First off, I love the idea of using Siege Shockwave as a giant hand gun. Genius. Second, the back filler is just what I needed. Definitely gonna pick this up after I save up for Platinum Edition Predaking.

Got him put together today. View attachment 28173632 View attachment 28173633 View attachment 28173634
Mine switched to USPS. Mind you I was only ever able to track via Speedpack. "Arrived at Unit" was what it said when it hit the post office and was "Out for delivery" the following day.

I ordered one of these from johosontony on ebay and got a SpeedPAK tracking number #ES….0A. Does anyone know who will be delivering this in the US? USPS? Ebay tracking has this as having cleared customs.

Don't have any good light at the moment or the ability to combine the big guy. I might be able to put him together later tonight though. Here's two quick.ones though.View attachment 28172647 View attachment 28172648

Has anyone tried this with WJ Divebomb?
MaximusPrime2002
Would anyone mind posting some in hand pictures?

Count me as another who got theirs. Like previously mentioned color match is a bit off on the filler but not terrible by any stretch. I have to believe the knuckle dusters are purposely so dark just to make them stand out a bit. If a kit comes out with more articulated hands later where I don't need to buy a ton of other stuff I might get them, if not this kit satifies my only issues with this guy.

Yeah, I got mine in as well. Now all I need is Predaking.
STRANGE
Recently received this upgrade and it's not bad. It is a very basic, self-explanatory kit. The missile pack attaches to Divebomb's back when not combined and fills in Predaking's lower back when combined. The attachment is secure. The knuckle spikes slip over the hands and have two different positions – facing forward or facing out from the back of the hand. Predaking's hands cannot be stored in the feet with the knuckle spikes attached; they have to be removed for storage when not combined.
For quality, the plastic is UV cured resin and feels sturdy. The missile pack is mostly hallow. The color matching in paint is not very good – the yellow on the missile pack is lighter and less orange than on Predaking. It's noticeable, but forgivable since it fills in that empty space in combined mode. The gray on the knuckle spikes is darker than the hands.
It's not a bad kit for the price. It is simple and does the job well enough.

Wish I'd seen this thread whilst there was a 15% discount but at $16 shipped I think I'll survive, lol.

I'm getting the impression that the engineering for parts of Divebomb and Razorclaw are a bit different.
I hope so, otherwise I may have to start looking around for some Lego.

Now that it’s been revealed that the Weijiang Predaking is not so much OS, as it is improved with augmented OS details, it might be compatible. But I’m honestly expecting them to already have the improvement in place.

My other Shockwave kits took about two weeks so I am expecting the same for this one. The quality isn't bad on the couple I have.
MaximusPrime2002
So is there any information as to when it should arrive? I'm a little skeptical as to the physical quality of the plastic here, and I want to get some in hand experience from others before I decide whether or not to order mine.

I just want the back filler; I plan to get fully articulated hands. Honestly I'm hoping somebody completely redesigns Divebomb's backpack/Predaking's waist though; that's the weakest part of the figure to me.
