I suspect Razorclaw's legs would have had to be huge for that to work, like Long Haul huge, in order to support all the weight.

It could have been a compromise. Make Razorclaw bigger and reduce the backpack kibble on the leg bots proportionately.

Isn't that pretty much how the G1 toy was constructed?
It would only be Predaking's thighs, though, not the whole legs. They would have just had to have made Tantrum and Headstrong sturdy enough to support Predaking's weight, which is already a rather hollow mass as is.TF-fan kev777 wrote:Counterpunch wrote:TF-fan kev777 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:If Razorclaw had been bigger, could Predaking's thighs have been formed by Razorclaw's own legs, like how all the CW-style combiners used the limbs of the torso bots for their thighs?

No doubt, I would have preferred that. The design team seemed intent on trying to keep all 5 the same size. I don't think that would be possible with using Razorclaw's legs to also be Predaking's legs.

What I really want is Hunn-Grr, though. If only they'd get him back in stock. With TRU gone, there's no way I'm getting him local.

Just because it means one per customer doesn’t mean they’re not making enough. It could mean anything but if your bummed thinking they’re making less than look at your own post.
You don’t want to pay full price and want to wait for clearance. That itself hurts products. It’s like a movie coming out and saying “I’ll wait for video” and then saying “Why didnt the movie do well in theaters?!”
Just buy it and support the brand if you like it.

No, mediocre quality is what's hurting products. I bought Trypticon on sight at regular price because I felt it was worth it. This set is NOT worth $160.00 IMO.
So I personally will just wait for the price to drop and if I miss out on it then oh well (there's always 3P for those prices). Hasbro is not swindling me with half@ssed overpriced merch.
So shill all you want. People are going to support what's warranted.

But some of us cant afford to drop $160 all at once. The only way I got Fort Max & Trypticon was by putting them on Layaway at TRU and making smaller payments, not an option anymore sadly...
Also, for the moment, it appears to be back in stock at HTS...but just the mere fact that it momentarily was not available tells me all I need to know. Fort Max and Trypticon were both available on HTS for well over 6 months (and still have plenty in stock at sites like BBTS)...I don't see this happening with Predaking.
I'd say the quantity limitation is a clear indication that far fewer were produced, they only do that on exclusives that are in limited supply. While Predaking is not "exclusive" to HTS...the purchasing limitations are the same.
