- Predaking is a Decepticon Predacon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Predaking is the ferocious fusion of all five of the Predacons. In most cases of combiners, it is a given that strength and raw power would be heavily boosted as a result of the combination, however, Predaking has a little bit more going for him. His tracking skills increase exponentially, granting him heightened radar and other robotic senses. Nothing can escape his grasp and no creature can slip past his notice. When Predaking is on your trail, all hope is lost.
Fiction
Animated continuity
Voice Actor: Bud Davis (US), Tomomichi Nishimura (Japan)
Whenever the Predacons appeared, it was pretty well a given that Predaking would soon follow. Though utterly gigantic and menacing, Predaking was basically a paper tiger, easily beaten off every time he appeared. He could sometimes generate windstorms.
Zone OVA and manga
Voice Actor: Yukimasa Kishino (Japan)
(Predaking is referred to as one of the Nine Great Demon Generals. This terminology, coupled with the presence of the previously deceased Black Zarak in their ranks and Violen Jygar's supernatural origins, could mean that Predaking died previously to Zone and was likewise brought back to life. However, this is unconfirmed, meaning that Violen Jygar may have simply recruited the still-living Predaking to be a General.)
Predaking was selected by Violen Jygar as one of his 9 Decepticon Demon-Generals. Gifted with new weaponry and armor, Violen Jygar sent Predaking to the Earth to steal the Zodiac before the Autobots could get it. He failed, however, and after seeing the likes of King Poseidon and Trypticon get killed in battle, attempted to escape. His escape was thwarted by Dai Atlas, who sliced him into two from head to crotch, exposing his vaguely organic-looking brain and killing the Decepticon.
Marvel Comics continuity
Dreamwave comics continuity
He beats up Bruticus.
Toys
Generation 1
- Predaking (1986, 2004)
- Japanese ID number: D-78
- 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 interchangable. Razorclaw's sword and beast mode cannon serve as Predaking's primary weapons, with Tantrum and Headstrong's back-mounted cannons are used as his feet.
- Hasbro only released the individual Predacons, but a giftset was avalible in Japan. In late 2004, Predaking was reissued to much rejoicing of people who could not afford the aftermarket prices on a vintage piece.
