A dramatic entrance for a dramatic character, and I absolutely love it.
The way the ground shakes JUST by Predaking’s mere presence.
The epic music.
The “Oh, fuck…” manner of Megatron slowly lifting himself from his throne. By his expression alone, the audience KNOWS that shit just got real.
Also, Starscream glancing back at Megatron like, “You SEEING this scrap, my liege???”
I don’t blame him. Predacons are SCARY, and the fact that the end of this episode doesn’t even SHOW us what he completely looks like yet. He’s just THAT big and intimidating.
I did a post about Darksteel's wings, so here is one about Predaking's.
This may come as news to some, but Predaking's wings are not fully orange! On the back side, his wings are dark, and only the underside is bright orange.
Predaking could rip Ratchet’s head off and kill him, but he doesn’t.
Predaking IS very arrogant, but prior to learning the truth of what happened to Project Predacon, he was still willing to see Megatron as his master.
There’s so many instances of him calming down from rage, both subtle and not so subtle, this is just the most prominent scene.
I don’t blame him for his rage. His race, the beings he wished to rule over, the ones he desired to be a part of, were murdered. And although Megatron approved Starscream’s plan to frame the Autobots, Predaking still has a right to be mad at them for delivering the final blow in Shockwave’s off-site laboratory.
And yet, even when so much rage is tunneling through his body and mind, he has SO much strength inside him to stop and listen to reason.
He has self-restraint and INTEGRITY. He possesses qualities of a great leader, and there’s a huge opportunity for him to learn and grow. He has so much potential, and I just love him so, so much.
Hello my king, i knwo that this may sound wird but can i hug your finger i fell lonely (i am very small so i can only do that)
“Ah… an interesting request! I have not been asked this yet, but I am willing to indulge your need for a hug. I know a thing or two about being alone, more than ever these days, so I hope this is sufficiently cozy and comfortable for an acceptable human-sized embrace…”
“I am learning to be gentle, but the Decepticons see no use in this skill, even for an indomitable being of my size. You can relax, rest easy for a while under my watch until you have to return back to your own dwelling.”
He stays with the human to calm their feeling of loneliness, at least for a while, before any Vehicons or Decepticons come by to check for his whereabouts on the Nemesis.
