>>11193545>why the fuck did hasbro choose such a heroic looking design for a villain?I have no idea, but I do know the design we got wasn't the original one that was planned. Back when the Predacons were still known as the 'Anibots', they were going to merge into a giant chimeric dragon called 'The Mechanobeast,'; presumably, they made the design more humanoid out of fear that it wouldn't appeal to Transformers fans.
Incidentally, this original 'Mechanobeast' Predaking design was what served as the inspiration for Prime's dragon Predaking, if you were wondering where that incarnation of him came from.
