Seeing the each of the Thirteen being revealed has been quite the experience, and now I have twelve! It's not just incredible that we're getting physical representation of rather nebulous entities up to this point, but considering two of them came from comics, and done so faithfully, is something to behold.

There's a lot of great detailing on this figure (though a lot of the wires being unpainted is nagging me to do something about that), and he sticks the landing in terms of posing and sturdiness. He looks excellent next to his fellow comic-debuting Prime, Megatronus, and like I said in a previous post, his head sculpt leaves room for interpretation.

Having twelve of the Thirteen, especially Liege himself, feels surreal to me- and a part of that may be due to the fake leaks earlier. But nope, this is the genuine article! We can just say, that was a bit of his trickery at play.

Joking aside, it's a neat design quirk that Liege Maximo has a sculpted mouth just above the one from the Marvel comic. It's subtle enough to ignore entirely, but also there if you want to pretend that the "red mouth" is just a chin guard.

Which do you prefer?

The arms of Predaking! Divebomb is definitely my favorite of the two, not just for his impressive wingspan, but being able to hold it without tupping over. Also, the tailfeathers becoming the connecting piece for the Combiner's legs is brilliant. Rampage doesn't have to do much compared to the other four, so I wish his Beast Mode had more articulation. Still, these are really fun figures, especially as part of a set.

Bought Predaking, a set that was out of my reach for a long time...until now! I do enjoy the individuals, despite the compromises needed for the combined mode. I mean hey- Tantrum and Headstrong have to form one leg each, instead of just a bottom half of a leg. In this case, the simplicity of this set is brilliant; transforming them all is fun and easy!

The little part that juts out of the foot gun when mounting onto their beast modes can actually fit a Titan Master! There's no tabs, but it's relatively snug; I wonder if its intentional.
