Predaking Knockoff Transformers Generation 1 Bootleg Action!

Description YT

Today I'm checking out G1 Predaking Knock-off.

Predaking is the ferocious fusion of all five of the Predacons: Divebomb, Headstrong, Rampage, Tantrum, and team leader Razorclaw. Predaking is highly unusual among combiners by the successful merging of each of his component robots' physical abilities and personalities. Most others of his kind are rendered stupid, suggestible, or borderline insane by the merging of minds, but the five Predacons are united by their shared love of the hunt, and produce a single complete persona. Between his physical prowess, unexpected mental acuity, and animalistic, almost instinct-fast hunting actions, Predaking is one of the most dangerous and intimidating weapons ever added to the Decepticon ranks. As a weapon he is without equal; as a warrior he is without restraint. He can lift five hundred tons without straining a circuit. When Predaking is on your trail, all hope is lost.

I love knock-off action figures and toys. There is something special about finding a knock-off at the dollar store or flea market. It sparks a memory. It was a figure that you were never able to find. It was a cute attempt at being a low quality reproduction by someone who just so happened to end up with the moulds. We will never know how these repros end up making it out to the world but it's fun to imagine.
