@@TMReviews Now of course, I'm not sure how it stacks up when compared next to Feral Rex from MMC or Ares from TFC toys, but obviously it's much more flashy and probably more complicated that those 2
Looks amazing, the paint and engineering are very impressive. I'm also surprised that only one bandaid was needed in the handling of this bot... Thanks for the review and congrats on becoming a true survivor of the Combiner Wars😮
It's definitely finicky, but it's a labor of love for me personally. The thing is beautiful to look at and has so many options for adjusting and reconfiguring (engineering and points of movement/articulation is off the charts). I kinda like when it moves or doesn't sit right, then I can readjust and just stare at it and admire every little detail. :D It took me two days to combine as well, but again it was enjoyable because I bought every piece as they came out over almost 3 years (!!) and wanted to take my time to combine into the big monster. And BTW, those tail pieces on the feet are actually supposed to be the 3rd, middle toe on each. It also has mouth articulation, which is kinda cool. Surprisingly, I don't have much problem with the weight of the sword. It fits snugly in either hand, between the peg and the strong grip of the fingers. Thanks for putting in the time on this one!!

I personally think he is absolutely Phenomenal, pretty much the Best combiner in my collection. Fair review though, I guess you didn't like the heavy styling. I guess his not for everyone. I agree with everything said, he is super heavy and mostly a show piece!! But to be honest you can say that about just about all these combiners. As soon as you touch them suff starts to come on done, with maybe the maybe Constructor. Hopefully Fanstoys will be the exception.
Yeah, I can definitely see how he is the most intimidating and impressive combiner for you, I just didn't have fun with the combined mode at all. That is of course subjective
@@TMReviews TMR! I am with you! You're absolutely right! It took me like you said 2 days!! Not to mention one of those combiner ports was so Ridiculous stiff ..that I thought I was going to Break the darn thing!! Not to mention some of the Transformation is so overly complicated for No reason! All this turning 180° and at the end..it's still looks like just legs in on his back, and back of the arms. All of that and it doesn't hide anything. Is silly imo! By the time I finished this thing!! I was so Frustrated and exhausted! That I really didn't get to enjoy the figure until the following day!! After the Anger and Frustration went away!!! Personally am not sure How I managed not to Break the Freaking thing!! Also like you said I literally watch emgo at slowed .25 x speed. Because by the time I figured out what he did! He already completed the entire Transformation. The back legs are so un-intuitive ..is almost like they made Super complicated for no reason!! ..smh! Sorry for the long message! ..I would NEVER want to do that ever again!!😿
🤔 now that I'm getting a better look at the combined mode 😐 the torso does not look good at all, like it's completely too small for the arms and legs the way it proportioned 😑 now I can honestly say it's not for me 👍🏽 still a great review
no naw I can care less honestly I just like it because it’s not that crappy g1 blocky cube with arms and legs and head piece of crap kind of predaking or parts forming crap I’m just saying people /you guys give any company a bad rap they should know there is never ever going to be a screen accurate figure that can transform or hide the pieces of the figure like prime studios or three zero can do only if they could transform like that. I’m all in on getting cang toys predaking he is the biggest predaking we’ve ever gotten and also want to get all the other transformers out there to the 3rd companies and official companies to everything I’ve gotten of the figures I’ve had growing up was perfect to me in my eyes yea I know it’s not g1 but it’s literally impossible to a perfect predaking or any transformers figure to exactly and rendered verison of how it was in the cartoon or live action movies that’s my own personal opinion and because I also need and want this so badly to but you all got to admit it there’s never ever going to be a perfect rendering/ transformerable hiding everything to just have it like how it was growing up seeing it on tv and in theaters transformers figure but to me every transformers figure I’ve always gotten was perfect to me anything I saw and liked no matter how it looked was still perfect to me I’m still all in on cang toys thunderking/predaking and not those other crappy g1 predaking versions from 3rd party companies before in the past and official and zeta one to all crap except for cang toys thunderking/predaking to me because it looks like real life animals and not those g1 predaking that are just blocks with legs and arms and just a head piece from all of them before that’s why I love cang toys thunderking/predaking because it looks real life and not that stuff I’m just saying and I love cang toys predaking to but lots of people want the g1 which I totally understand but they have to know by now there will never be a exact replica of it because one of the modes will have to suffer to make it accurate you know what I mean right woo.
This has been a long time coming, but this is easily the best looking 3rd Party Predaking on the market
I would have to agree with that

Thanks for the thorough review! His face sculpt looks like one of the Insecticons from Transformers Prime
Welcome
Oh I’m so hyped to watch this😂The sword looks so satisfying to combine
Apparently it hasn't updated to HD yet...
@@TMReviews haha super early. Feel I should congratulate you for finishing this because it seems like a hell of an undertaking. Great review 🙌
This was originally meant to be a Toyworld set but they didn't want to make it and sold the designs where CT picked them up.
Makes sense
Literally a monster of a combiner!

Lol it was the feet that got me too. Were blood brothers, baby!
Lol! I actually got injured several times from this thing, if you're transforming it more than once, you're going to get hurt

I read the whole message, and yeah thank god for Emgo 😂👍
22:35 my overall thoughts were the same as yours (via my review) 🙂
Alright! Reached completion. Overall looks Amazing.. Great Review ✨️😀
Thanks
Yes! I had an inner bet with myself if it drew blood or not. He got me real good too, lol!
Lol
This is the first transformers set i seen that needs scaffolding to hold the figure together and up
Huh? Seems to be fairly solid based on this review
He's referring to the knee brace as scaffolding
How in the name of Primus did that fit on your turn table 😂
😂 magic
Really wanting a G1 style though...
Same
@@TMReviewsI don’t want a g1 style I perfer this version
Not fooled by the bandaid you Desi
Lol

👍🏽 still a great review
Thanks
Visually, this thing is incredibly "busy"? Not a fan personally.
$1000 for this whole set?? Wow
$1140 if you go by BBTS price...
@@TMReviews geez
