I ordered this bad boy earlier today at about 1 o'clock. I found it for the low at Amazon for less than $109....while actually waiting for the Hasbro Platinum Amazon exclusive Predaking to go down. I couldn't believe it! The Takara 2010 reissue from Japan for around the same price! Thing's usually $200 or more plus shipping............smiling as I type & wait for Saturday.
My favorite combiner teams were the Constructicons, the Predacons, the Protectobots and the Technobots because their colour schemes match and their gestalt modes are not a mismatch of colours, like the Combaticons or the Stunticons are. Predaking is my favorite.
This is by far the best set of G1s ever made pre Victory line. I have the complete 86 set in perfect condition, but I may have to buy this one too despite my anti encore buying habits. Nothing against encore, I just like the buy the real G1s.

I bought the Hasbro Platinum BBTS Shared Exclusive of the reissue Predacons/Predaking back in late February 2014. They are awesome indeed! I will buy this particular set again. BTW, another great review, Mitch! G1 Always!
Love Predaking. I pieced one together about a year and a half ago. I do not have all the individual guns, but I have a sword and his arm cannon. I also have one of DIvebombs guns, but need the other, because they are supposed to be on the wings pointing up in combined mode. Hopefully one day soon I will find the other LOL
Don't know if already posted, on Headstrong you have to rotate the red "shoes" down so that they are even with the bottom of the feet. Both flat surfaces will match up. Rotate the extra "heel" down in the middle and he should stand on his own. Mine does anyways.
Yeah, in the directors cut, I had it like that actually but I was trying to cut things out for time, and unfortunately, that scene got chopped! Thanks btw!
Hello, I have a question about your review - you said that Headstrong doesn't stand up, he is backheavy - where is his little black "tail" from rhino mode? I remember it was positioned directly between the back of his feet, where his heels are in robot mode, and that it stopped him tipping. Does the reissue of Headstrong not have this built-in tail component?
You could totally name a band "Mitch Santona and the Predacons" and it would rock. Hard. Even if they played nothing but polkas. Oh yeah! Thanks for the look.
awesome review dude, I got the G1 original set from ebay but now I have to track down the fists and feet for the combine mode, does anyone know where I can get these for a decent price???
love to be able to send toys to people, but the best I can offer is a contest for free stuff. so you know, Ive never seen an Airachnid toy on shelves...
you know when i watch your video and when u do about old transformer toy and that small it reminds me about me when i was 6 good all days i use to collect lot's of them but i think i've lot's it now :(
Nice review mitch. The music is also cool. I just bought this figure few day ago with very cheap price US80. :-) This figure i already wait for so long time.
Now ebay now there are two vsellers, selling them about for a 30-40 $ You could take a look, but I don't know how much will be shipping to the America, but you can find that out by contacting those guys :) Maybe free!
The Platinum Edition of Predaking have some die-cast parts and a sword that is a gold redeco of the Star Saber from Beast Hunter Voyager Class Optimus Prime. But i don't understand one thing. The Decepticon Subgroup is called 'Predacons'. But why are Tantrum and Headstrong in the group? They are no carnivores. Tantrum is a Water Buffalo and Headstron a Rhino. And those two animales are Herbivores. The rest of the group are carnivores: a Lion (Razorclaw), an eagle (Divebomb) and a panther (Rampage).
I have a Takara reissue of the Predacons with the Japanese writing on the box, and I have to say, quality-wise, the die-cast metal beats the original G1 plastic robots.
Like the untamed forces of nature, the Predacons are ferocious animal robots who lash out with fury. Swift, savage and always relying on animal instinct, the Predacons explode into action. There's Divebomb, the eagle who can spot a target from a mile up in the sky, Rampage, the tiger who can leap 500 feet, Headstrong, the rhino who can puncture 8 feet of solid rock, Tantrum, the buffalo who loves to use brute force, and there's the Predacon commander, Razorclaw, whose claws can rip through steel. Together, they combine into a hair-trigger horror, the giant robot Predaking. As a warrior, Predaking has no equal. As a weapon, he has no known weaknesses. He can lift 500 tons without even straining a circuit. With the help of the Predacons, no planet is too wild or untamed for the Decepticons to conquer. The Autobots are forced to find new defenses against the mechanical menace, Predaking
I'd like to see Headstrong and the Autobot cassette Ramhorn go head to head in an all-out battle, since they both turn into rhinos. I wonder who would win?
Wow, the movie rampage butchered the g1 rampage. The only thing they have in common is their color, the g1 one being black orange red yellow and gold. The movie rampage being red, i mean yellow, no wait red.
I like em both! I love having the vintage ones, but its also nice having an old one, but brand new!

i dont know who i liked more out of piranacon or predaking...both were freakin awesome toys. i love the reviews, takes me down memory lane.

Great video Mitch. Always love Thursday throwback!!
great review Mitch. I've always loved the look of predaking. He's a grail of mine
This is by far the best set of G1s ever made pre Victory line. I have the complete 86 set in perfect condition, but I may have to buy this one too despite my anti encore buying habits. Nothing against encore, I just like the buy the real G1s.
I have all the g1 combiners. plus raiden train combiner
Predaking is my all time favorite combiner

I had the reissue. Maybe I'll buy another some day. Not sure, the combiners just don't do it for me. Nice review man.
Love Predaking. I pieced one together about a year and a half ago. I do not have all the individual guns, but I have a sword and his arm cannon. I also have one of DIvebombs guns, but need the other, because they are supposed to be on the wings pointing up in combined mode. Hopefully one day soon I will find the other LOL
Always wanted to know how big these dudes were, they look massive for combiner parts!
Don't know if already posted, on Headstrong you have to rotate the red "shoes" down so that they are even with the bottom of the feet. Both flat surfaces will match up. Rotate the extra "heel" down in the middle and he should stand on his own. Mine does anyways.
Whats half a grand? these Predacons?
Aww yeah >:D the most fearsome combiner ever, the one, the only, KING of the outback... Predaking!
Dayum that is a good looking combiner set
Mitch who would you pick up first.....Predaking or TFC Hercules?
Yeah, in the directors cut, I had it like that actually but I was trying to cut things out for time, and unfortunately, that scene got chopped!
Thanks btw!
My headstrong’s stand just fine. there is a tab that needs to be extended out and you had the red pieces on side of legs misttansformed
I've never seen the Predacons in hand before. These guys are huge compared to other G1 combiners.

Ha the predacon swords are the same to the target exclusive Optimus silver knight and Grimlock pack
Awesome review dude! I just might pick this up at next yrs TFcon! he does look fantastic!
BEST COMBINER.......PERIOD!!!!!
Divebomb is a eagle
Tantrum is a buffalo
What a beautiful set! For some reason i only prefer Razorclaw in yellow.
wow I just love g1 especially combiners
You could totally name a band "Mitch Santona and the Predacons" and it would rock. Hard. Even if they played nothing but polkas. Oh yeah!
Thanks for the look.
awesome review dude, I got the G1 original set from ebay but now I have to track down the fists and feet for the combine mode, does anyone know where I can get these for a decent price???
I love ur throw backs there mt
Ahh the 80's. Much easier times...
Razorclaw! For sure
needs em!
I love ur throw backs there my fav thing on ur chanle also 50 like to 0 dislikes yah
Gday, have you or will you be making a Terrorcons G1 gestault review? I'm pretty interested on your input for these. Cheers
This is probably my favorite G1 combiner because all the predacons are the same size
love to be able to send toys to people, but the best I can offer is a contest for free stuff. so you know, Ive never seen an Airachnid toy on shelves...
Heh "He can give you the horn!"
And now that I've excersized my immaturity, I love your channel man!
I got the Platinum edition version a few months ago
you know when i watch your video and when u do about old transformer toy and that small it reminds me about me when i was 6 good all days i use to collect lot's of them but i think i've lot's it now :(
i remember having bootlegs of these guys when i was 7
Cool!
muy buen video me gusto
Nice review mitch. The music is also cool. I just bought this figure few day ago with very cheap price US80. :-)
This figure i already wait for so long time.
Hey Mitch, for you're loose joints get some clear nail polish and dab a little bit into the joints
OMG I WANT
awesome
Did I hear a couple Furmanisms there, Mitch?
the other rhinos i know of is blasters cassette rhino and rhinox from beast wars
Now ebay now there are two vsellers, selling them about for a 30-40 $ You could take a look, but I don't know how much will be shipping to the America, but you can find that out by contacting those guys :) Maybe free!
Mitch, are you ok?
Rad !!!!
What's the difference between this set and the hasbro platinum edition predaking g1 set
The Platinum Edition of Predaking have some die-cast parts and a sword that is a gold redeco of the Star Saber from Beast Hunter Voyager Class Optimus Prime. But i don't understand one thing. The Decepticon Subgroup is called 'Predacons'. But why are Tantrum and Headstrong in the group? They are no carnivores. Tantrum is a Water Buffalo and Headstron a Rhino. And those two animales are Herbivores. The rest of the group are carnivores: a Lion (Razorclaw), an eagle (Divebomb) and a panther (Rampage).
I wish they would take these n bring them to the present day, meaning major updates. I still preferred the metal , plastic just seem so cheap to me
my Favorite are the Rhino ,and the Lion
i really do like predaking, but my favorite gestalt is piranacon
Rampage's a tiger, Headstrong's a rhinoceros, Tantrum's a bull, Divebomb's an eagle and Razorclaw's a lion
Reptisaurus King tantrum is actually a buffalo
lol. I love that
I have a Takara reissue of the Predacons with the Japanese writing on the box, and I have to say, quality-wise, the die-cast metal beats the original G1 plastic robots.
superPowerful Robot ,yeah
Like the untamed forces of nature, the Predacons are ferocious animal robots who lash out with fury. Swift, savage and always relying on animal instinct, the Predacons explode into action.

The Autobots are forced to find new defenses against the mechanical menace, Predaking
Great video Mitch. You transformed Divebomb head wrong, face should be coming out of birds mouth.
I'd like to see Headstrong and the Autobot cassette Ramhorn go head to head in an all-out battle, since they both turn into rhinos. I wonder who would win?
BTW my favorite is divebomb :).
Got him FedEx.........nuff said.
Some third-party group needs to get on a modern Predaking. Seriously.
big chunks of it are!!
@blackopjdop Walmart just restocked a lot of prime figures this w/e so you might have some luck this week.
How much was the Predacon set?
I bought it for rm 214.50
How much did this cost?
Yeah please get the add kit
Combined mode looks great. But those G1 robots are just ghastly in the year 2013.
thumbs up for the GUT PUNCH!
That they never made a 3rd party arm extension for Razorclaw still boggles me.
do you mean wildebeast
wait the whole thing is diecast?????
I mean heal spers
Predaking is best
predaking is king of combiners
I have Headstrong's foot, but, it's very beat up.
ZaWarudo
That is what I have done to a few of mine
8:31 --> Razorclaw has extreme short-hand syndrome. I can imagine if Razorclaw do boxing with his stimpy arms.
He can PECK you! I loved when Mitch said that
Are you sure that the first one is a tiger?
It looks like a panther to me.
+Tyjohnable Yes! Rampage transforms into a tiger!!!
Panther to be more precised...
That box artwork is Obari as fuck.
African buffalo is not a wildebeest
That must be one heavy mofo.....definitely going to pick him up once I sell my KO.
The rhino and bull have hero spers
l think Headstrong and Tantrum's beast mode is the worst of the Predacons
you forgot to compare divebomb
these guys look more like autobots than decepticons to me...
Go go predacon rangers
WELL PRDAKING REMINDS ME OF THE WILD FORCE MEGAZORD OF POWER RANGERS WILD FORCE
I posses the razorclaw g1 and would like to ebay it or something.. also would like to sell my fortress maximus g1
who cares what it costs its badass
Wow, the movie rampage butchered the g1 rampage. The only thing they have in common is their color, the g1 one being black orange red yellow and gold. The movie rampage being red, i mean yellow, no wait red.
As far as I can tell dive bomb is a taradacdel er how ever you say it.
Predaking rules? psh... an Abominus and Piranacon team-up would destroy those puppets! hell, i say Bruticus could solo them!
