FUNCTION: WARRIOR
FIRST APPEARANCE: TRANSFORMERS # 25

“Destroy first, ask questions later.”

Profile: Although he’s a living machine whose thoughts are dictated
by a mass of microprocessors and logic centers, all of Predaking’s actions seemingly
result from swift, savage, animal instinct. The five Predacons – Razorclaw,
Rampage, Tantrum, Divebomb and Headstrong – who comprise Predaking blend together
so smoothly, their circuits integrate so seamlessly, that Predaking moves with
a fierce fluidity that belies his multi-body construction. He doesn’t think,
he only reacts. Whether his optical sensors detect the movement of a jumbo jet
or an ant, his response is the same, virtually instantaneous and usually deadly.
Only other Decepticons can escape being targeted by this hair-trigger horror,
and even they worry that in some instance Predaking might mistake them for the
enemy. But despite the ever-present danger he represents, the Decepticons value
Predaking’s abilities. As a warrior he has no equal; as a weapon he has no restraints.
He is the closest thing to a perfect fighting machine the Decepticons have.

Abilities: Predaking is monstrously strong. He can lift 500 tons without
straining a circuit. He reacts to any movement he sees within .002 seconds.
He can generate a powerful electric field about himself that dampens or repels
any energy-based beams and prevents other Transformers from approaching any
closer than 10 feet. One punch from his fist can shatter a 50-foot reinforced
concrete cube. He wields a powerful X-ray laser cannon, whose blast has the
equivalent explosive force of 100 tons of TNT. Each of his feet has a double-barrelled
mortar shell launcher within it.

Weaknesses: Predaking has no known weaknesses.
