I absolutely love this figure! His griffin-like alt-mode is probably my favorite beast mode in a good long while (I've got a thing for gargoyles/mythical beasts). Well worth the money alone.

I got lucky on Ebay, picked him up with a couple other Predacons. And got luckier still that you have reviews of them. So many levels of coolness. No idea how I missed out on these "dragon" style Transformers. Now to get the rest of them

I finally found some of these in my TRS. I picked up lazerback, Bee, Wheeljack and soundwave. I do like this guy and think he's great for a best former. They should of fixed the head looking down but I guess you could place him on a higher shelf looking down over his prey. Thanks for the great review.

Well, some Transformers fans had connections with a Wal-Mart employee and it was found out that their inventory includes BST SHKW (Beast Shockwave), as well as BST UM (Beast Ultra Magnus), so we probably will get him later on in the year.

how does the plastic on this figure feel? does it seem like its of decent quality or perhaps cheap? also the face mold makes him look like more of the actual Beast Transformers, like for some reason his face reminds me of a bear, not so much a dragon

I'm just hoping Hasbro plans on possibly bringing in the Dinobots for the Beast Hunters toyline, so that perhaps the Predacons can have some kinda rivalry going on. But needless to say, I wish you luck in getting the Beast Hunters versions of Wheeljack and Optimus Prime, as well as Predaking. ;)

I made his head stand up like his head is looking forward and the biggest flaw I have is that his head isn't connect to the body and it tends to wiggle which makes me frustrated [the gun is connected to the head(s)] but it seems like ripclaw is better because I can't really find 2 (I wanted predaking but I didn't know that ripclaw is popular) ripclaws. And did you know that predaking and laserback (what I read) are the only ones with a dragonoid predacon sign
