Title:
Predaking 2nd Missing Headstrong Sword
Description:
Predaking (1986/2004)
Takara ID number: D-78
Accessories: X-ray laser cannon, sonic sword, 4 combiner extremities, head
Generation 1 Predaking is, by far, the largest of the traditional central component-leader-type combiner toys. He is formed by combining all five Predacons together. Unlike the Scramble City-style toys such as Bruticus or Defensor, Predaking’s arms and legs are not interchangeable, but can switch sides allowing the construction of a more show-accurate toy, allowing for four different combinations. Razorclaw’s sonic sword and beast mode cannon serve as Predaking’s primary weapons, with Tantrum and Headstrong’s back-mounted cannons as his feet.Like Defensor and Bruticus, Predaking’s components were released in both plastic and metal versions. In his combined mode featuring each member in die-cast form, Predaking is rather heavy for a Transformer. A complete combiner weighs in at exactly 1 kilogram (2.2lbs). This however does not upset the balance of the toy, as Headstrong and Tantrum have the bulk of the die-cast. Japan only received the plastic versions during the original run of the Generation 1 toylines.Hasbro only released the individual Predacons, but a giftset was available in Japan. In late 2004, Predaking was reissued to much rejoicing of people who could not afford the after market prices on a vintage piece. This reissue used metal parts, and the pieces that were originally soft plastic were now hard plastic.
