I thought Ryan had explained. I'll leave it to him to do so, if he wishes.
(But yeah, pretty much what you said in the next message.)

Yep, not a good time for many of us. It just would not work in the way Hasbro wanted us to do it.

I'm sorry you feel like the boring G1 hack work you are so fond of has been slighted by a character from it being mistaken for his counterpart from an actually-watchable show. Perhaps you'd be happier in the He-man fandom, where new ideas are less likely to trouble you.

It's the wrong Predaking. It'd be like showing a picture of Beast Wars Inferno for G1 Inferno or ROTF Rampage for Beast Wars Rampage or Predacon Rampage. If it's supposed to be for best Combiner, it should show G1 Predaking instead of Beast Hunters Predaking (who is not a Combiner). No need to talk smack about G1 here or turn this conversation into something that it's not.

While not as odd as the other two, I'm sure most were thinking more of the G1 guys.

Prowl's bio is likewise recycled from the Hasbro.com product description for the Prime Beast Hunters Legion class Prowl bio.
Nemesis Primal wrote:I am not denying that they got their Predakings mixed up (and in fact I'd like to point out again that they goofed on their Optimuses, too), I am just saying that G1 Predaking is not the "real" Predaking any more than BH Predaking is.

It's wrong, see above.

You take this brand too seriously. It would have been wrong if they used Menasor in his place... it's still Predaking, reguardless of whether or not he combines. With them choosing G1 Prowl instead of RiD15 Prowl, I think they simply wanted to break things up. It's not that big a deal, all all.
