Sadly, that's not much more than you'd pay for the little one...

There were rumours of a Predaking reissue not so long ago. Fingers crossed

Well Predaking was already reissued once, a few years ago.

Me, I have the original one, with some combiner parts taken from a KO version.

That kitbash is amazing, although a bit too zoid-like (given that those were what it is made of).

I only want one thing and one thing only.

Kitbash Predaking: http://www.sideshowsito.com/wp-content/ ... bash_1.jpg

Though Choo-choochimus Prime does rock indeed.

Hey, Zoidaking is funky as all out, but a bit spoilt by the fact it's a Bayhem combiner, with no real robot modes. Steel Prime is pricey, but I like the fact the fan community is making stuff HasTaK is never gonna get around to in a million vorns.

But which do you Choo-Choo-Choose?

Ch-chunky.

I do slightly prefer this though, as it's made mostly from pre-existing TFs:

I don't know how someone would transform that without scratching off a ton of paint. :o I'm... not quite sure I really care, however. It be pretty.

That is amazing! It's at least as good as kitbash Predaking.

How the hell do these guys do this? True talent. If I were Hasbro or Takara, I'd hire them, without a doubt.

Of course, if I were Hasbro I'd offer thousands of dollars to own them.

If you were to sell them, what price would you offer?

OMG...

That is so amazing.

The KITBASH TURNS INTO A GIANT DOG!

I would pay hundreds to own that set.

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

the gorgeousness of the figures vs the hideousness of the idea of Wheelie being the head of a dinobot combiner has caused a small black hole to appear where my brain used to be.

Its now sucking the earth into it's inescapable gravitational well via my ears, so apoligies for a) the end of everything and b) the waxy final moments

Yeah, Wheelie has two modes from the looks of it; robot-with-a-giant-face-on-his-back mode, and face-with-a-curled-up-orange-robot-for-a-head mode. Hawt.

I realised how stupid that was after I went to bed. I have no excuse, except it being very late when I posted that. :o

It's still stupid to have a giant face for a back, though.

I went back and looked at this, and realized that, not only is this a Dinobot combiner, but its a Dinobot combiner triple-changer.

I mean, the level of awesomeness here, well, it just hasn't been surpassed.

This isn't just the greatest TF of all time. It's the greatest toy I have ever seen. Ever.

ToyFare had that vote for greatest toy of the past two decades, and I think Masterpiece Prime won that. They need to rip that prize away from him and give it to this guy.
