BOSS: buy on sight, stat! Do like Optimus. Not so much Predaking. Like yourself, I can't wait for voyager Magnus and Shockwave!

I saw some of these in Target the other day and mistook them for baby toys. The Deluxes were $18 each. This line is a tragedy, and clearly a placeholder until the TF4 line comes along.

i really hope you're just trying to be exaggerative.. otherwise you sound very unintelligent.
these CLEARLY aren't "baby toys". and if you think they do.. you CLEARLY have the wrong hobby.
people do want these things. i know i want the new voyager prime.
however, i'm definitely going to be waiting for the larger scale predaking.
and you seriously think they're waiting for the TF4 line to come out.. .. which makes sense because they can't give away the left over TF3 figures. .. oh wait.. it doesn't.

Then again, if they're making a Leader Predaking, don't you think a Leader OP is likely too? Maybe I should just wait for that. Do you guys think there will be a Leader version of BH OP?

I dunno, unless these count.

And for sure I won't buy voyager predaking, knowing that there is a picture of leader class version.

It's not a leader class. It's Ultimate Class; bigger than Leader.

Guys, it's Ultimate, not Leader. These two are the same toy.

Ah, then that explains it, thanks ! I guess we are getting an 'Ultimate' sized OP too then. That's good news. I'm still totally getting the Voyagers too though .

No idea, but I've been noticing the same thing with a lot of their figures lately. BBTS seems to wait a lot longer, especially for Hasbro releases, to get instock these days (at least that's how it's been for me for at least a few months now). The Takara stuff generally gets instock when they project it to (unless there are manufacturer delays as there were with MP Soundwave), but I'm guessing that's because it's a different supplier.

no kidding. I just checked BBTS and it said the first round of Beast Hunters figures I had on preorder were 'processing' (which means they'll be in my POL any second now).

Predaking, well..I should have waited for the Ultimate class. He's fine, but the bigger one certainly looks better.

I have no insight but I wanted to add to the story. I received an email today alerting me that my FOC Voyager Grimlock was instock. Finally able to do so, I shipped my POL. However, I noticed that when you search for him on the site he still shows up as a preorder. Kinda weird.
Anyway, back on topic...I've been searching for these guys with no luck. I have been happy with the distribution of the Beast Hunters deluxe figures though. Hopefully the voyagers and deluxe wave 2 follows suit because I'm dying to get Smokescreen. Maybe these guys will start showing up soon too!

1) The spiky "Beast Hunters" armors will only be donned in the show when serious butt-kicking is occurring.
2) All of these spikes are toy-only gimmicks.
This is, of course, purely speculation. Even so...
EDIT: Wings are there...plus an awesome shield.
