Third Party company Cang Toys, via their Weibo account, have shared the first sketches of their CT-Chiyou-05 Thorgorilla.
This figure is quite a surprise since it’s part of Cang Toys Thunderking (Predaking) combiner team. A new transforming gorilla robot which seems partially inspired by Optimus Primal design buy highly stylized. We are yet to see images of the combiner mode, but it seems Thorgorilla may become the crotch of Thunderking. Cang Toys have already revealed their CT-Chiyou-01 Ferocious (Rampage), CT-Chiyou-02 Landbull (G1 Tantrum), CT-Chiyou-03 Firmament (G1 Divebomb) and CT-Chiyou-04 (G1 Razorclaw).

Oh hell yes. I was already planning on custom painting one or two other things I own, so this is further incentive for me to figure out how it's done… Thanks to those who linked

Well, while my original TK is staying in combined mode for eternity, I have yet to decide what to do with the Dark version of him. Decisions, decisions

After messing around with all bots in all modes, I still think this set is fantastic. But if I were to order them from most fun to least fun to transform, I'd say that I'd like Thorilla the best and Kinglion the least. Don't get me wrong, Kinglion is fantastic as a figure but the transformation I find is the least fun. He feels very weak sometimes, if that's the way to describe it.

There will be, my fellow brethren. I'll see to that myself. I'd say give it about a couple more days at most. Before you know it, preorders for "Grape Ape" will be going up everywhere..
Magna Jet Convoy
Hopefully some pics of the grape-ape will be forthcoming soon..

This is awesome. This, I would buy it right away.

I personally don't care too much about this, but here you go, from the one who did this to try and match the more G1 accurate version of Predaking..

@Little Dutch is the one who made it, I didn't care too much about the g1 look so I don't know where the pics are…

I don't suppose you could point me to it?

Really, "Predafake?" Anything but.. And the "Reflector" colors you speak of for this version of the set are Cang's Dark Limited Edition colors in commemoration of Cang being 5 years in the game, making cool figures for everyone to enjoy (TF and non-TF alike). They've already done an all gold edition. The Dark Edition came as a surprise to everyone because despite the fact of the original and gold versions being done and out, there were those who were speculating about the next possible rendition of TK and what it would look like with what colors and low and behold, we're now getting a Dark Edition. It would be nice though if their Dinos joined the Dark side and hopefully, one day, Thundermini follows as well. And let's not forget their Longmini too (yes, there's gonna be a Legends version of the Dinos)..

Predafake in Reflector colors. Why?
razingstorm
Man these guys will release these dudes in any color except toon.
BIOMEC
Yes someone already did it… it looks ok
TheLastPrime2893
And just like that, we have our answer. Looks like Dark HugeRhino will be released last and this is why..

Words cannot describe how much I dislike the gundam-y pointiness of how the Lion looks in the combined Predaking mode – both the chest and the head. I don't suppose anyone has customized this guy (via paint and/or 3d parts) to be more G1?

And BBB has Dark KL and Dark Death Claw listed as "Incoming." Even when they come into stock, there's still the waiting game we have to play. Since mine will be arriving by ship from them, I'll definitely be waiting a bit. But no biggie. I got Thundermini, Shatter and Stegs to keep me company until the Dark King's arrival. Looks like we'll know what color Dark TK's visor will be once in combined mode..
TheLastPrime2893
With Cang, they seem to release close to the end of the month when it comes to their products. IIRC, I think BBB is closer to them, which makes them usually first in line to get their stock ahead of everyone else, with others following behind. I just PO'd Dark Landbull earlier this morning, so it seems they'll be releasing at the end of the month within the next few months or so. By 'round that time, Pterhowl will be joining the releases. Waiting to see which of the last two is next, so I can have my preorder money ready. I do hope though that it's Thorilla. Would be weird releasing both legs one right after the other with nothing to attach them to, let alone, a whole entire top torso of Dark TK..
Maybe it'll be a Grape Ape? If the original was predominantly black, then that should give you a clue how Dark Thorilla will turn out. And I'm pretty sure instead of red, he's gonna have green eyes. Wicked!!!

I wonder what thorilla is going to look like. He was the only member of the team to be predominantly black on the original set so I’m curious if they’ll just dip him in the same purple they did everybody else or do something a bit more unexpected
