* {{Badass}}: By far the most powerful warrior in the show. Especially shown during "Evolution", where he takes down both Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus. Had Optimus not pulled a BigDamnHeroes moment, he would have killed them.
** And even more amazingly, he managed to beat ''Optimus Prime'' in a straight-on fight spanning "Minus One" and ''Persuasion''. Yes, the same Optimus Prime who can go toe-to-toe with Megatron on a regular basis.
** Later in ''Synthesis'', he faces off against [[spoiler:Megatron after learning the truth about his treachery from Ratchet.]] During the fight, he clearly had the advantage. Had [[spoiler:Starscream not distracted him long enough for Megatron to throw him out the airlock]], he would've won. In ''Predacons Rising'', he's the only combatant par Optimus to [[spoiler:hold his own against a Unicron-possessed Megatron]].

* ItCanThink: Foreshadowed at the end of "Prey", when Starscream's derisive remarks about Predaking being unable to speak or explain why it failed to bring back the Autobots resulted in the beast staring right at him, seemingly contemplating his words (they don't seem to put him in a good mood). Of course, the toyline kinda spoiled the fact that he (not it) is a sapient character with a robot mode of his own long before he appeared in the show. Further demonstrated in "Chain of Command", where he knocks away an incoming grenade that Wheeljack tried to throw into his mouth and recognized the bone fragment of a fellow Predacon, and later, in "Plus One", he watches Starsceam enter an override code on the communications array, then uses that code to access the ship's database so he can learn everything the Decepticons know of the Predacons.

* TheVoiceless: Being an animal, it can't do much more than growl and roar. This is lampshaded by Starscream, who snarks at its inability to explain its failure to terminate the Autobots when first deployed. Subverted in "Evolution", which reveals it, or rather he, can talk.

* AffablyEvil: From what we've seen so far in "Evolution", he doesn't appear to be all that evil. He only attacks the Autobots to protect his "brethren" [[spoiler: and turns on the Decepticons when he learns they are ultimately responsible for the destruction of his kind.]]

-->'''Predaking''': It took a catclysm to extinguish Cybertron's original Predacon inhabitants. You never stood a chance against me, Prime. In fact, the time has come for ''your'' extinction!
* BiggerIsBetter: Mostly played straight, but in two instances his size has proven a drawback since it means he has difficulty maneuvering in confined spaces.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/predaking_9073.jpg]]
-->"Prepare to perish."
-> '''Voiced by:''' PeterMensah
-> '''First Appearance:''' "Scattered"

An ancient Cybertronian predator, cloned by Shockwave to use against the Autobots.

* AffablyEvil: From what we've seen so far in "Evolution", he doesn't appear to be all that evil. He only attacks the Autobots to protect his "brethren" [[spoiler: and turns on the Decepticons when he learns they are ultimately responsible for the destruction of his kind.]]
* AntiVillain: See AffablyEvil.
* ArmCannon: Like most Cybertronians.
* {{Badass}}: By far the most powerful Decepticon warrior in the show. Especially shown during "Evolution", where he takes down both Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus. Had Optimus not pulled a BigDamnHeroes moment, he would have killed them.
** And even more amazingly, he managed to beat ''Optimus Prime'' in a straight-on fight spanning "Minus One" and ''Persuasion''. Yes, the same Optimus Prime who can go toe-to-toe with Megatron on a regular basis.
** Later in ''Synthesis'', [[spoiler: he faces off against Megatron after learning the truth about his treachery from Ratchet. During the fight, he clearly had the advantage. Had Starscream not distracted him long enough for Megatron to throw him out the airlock, he would've won.]]
** BadassBaritone: Has a deep, horrifying roar in dragon mode and a deep voice in Cybertronian mode.
** BadassBoast: Gives an epic one to Optimus during their fight in ''Persuasion''
-->'''Predaking''': It took a catclysm to extinguish Cybertron's original Predacon inhabitants. You never stood a chance against me, Prime. In fact, the time has come for ''your'' extinction!
* BiggerIsBetter: Mostly played straight, but in two instances his size has proven a drawback since it means he has difficulty maneuvering in confined spaces.
* BreathWeapon: He shoots fiery energy blasts from his mouth. The explosions from it send the Autobots flying even when it doesn't hit them, and we've seen it make blast craters in the ground.
* TheBrute: Considering who he's inheriting it from, in [[BigGuyFatalitySyndrome the kind of show so far]], he's by far the most powerful Decepticon warrior.
* CryForTheDevil: "Evolution" shows how lonely he is about being the only one of his kind...[[spoiler:then he has to watch the ''rest'' of his kind be wiped out.]]
* CurbStompBattle: Deals one out to Ultra Magnus, Wheeljack, and Bulkhead in "Chain of Command". And though Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack put up a better fight in "Evolution", he still manages to hand them their skid plates.
* [[HumanPopsicle Cybertronian Popsicle]]: Like the Scraplets before him, except he didn't stay that way.
* DecompositeCharacter: Predaking is the name of a Combiner in previous continuities, but this show makes him his own separate character.
* DeathGlare: Gives one to Starscream when he insults the Predacon's intelligence.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Gets thrown off the Nemesis [[spoiler:by Megatron]] in ''Synthesis''. Subverted in Deadlock where it's revealed he hung on to the ship.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Predaking absolutely has it in for Starscream after he calls him a mindless beast, turning Screamer into an at-times literal [[TheChewToy chew toy]] whenever he tries to give him orders.
* TheDogBitesBack: After Starscream tries whacking him for disobedience one times too many, he promptly knocks the Seeker back, transforms into a giant Cybertronian and threatens him with death.
* TheDreaded: Gathers this reputation in his first appearance. By the end the characters are wondering what this thing was.
** By "Evolution", even the Decepticons are terrified of him. [[spoiler: Megatron even orders the termination of the Predacons being cloned because of this]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Makes his combat prowess ''very'' apparent in his first appearance. [[spoiler:His first scenes in robot mode show that he's actually a rather eloquent, and almost tragic character, though not without his grudges (particularly, Starscream).]]
* EvilBrit: Judging from what we've actually heard him say, he has a slight British accent mixed with an African accent.
* EvilIsBigger: Predaking is the single largest Cybertronian yet seen in the series (with the exception of Unicron and his manifestations), even dwarfing Optimus and Megatron.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Both when roaring and when actually talking.
* {{Fingore}}: [[spoiler: Crushes Ultra Magnus's hand under his foot.]]
* FossilRevival: Was cloned from fossilized Cybertronian DNA.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Melancholic.
* GeniusBruiser: Not only is Predaking strong, but he's also quite clever; during his battle with the Wreckers in "Chain Of Command", he foiled Wheeljack's FeedItABomb strategy by using his tail to knock the grenade towards Bulkhead and Ultra Magnus (the same episode shows that he also recognizes the bones of fellow Predacons when he sees them). At the end of "Plus One", he accesses the ''Nemesis''' database in order to learn everything the 'Cons know about Predacons.
** And when it's revealed that he can talk, he turns out to be quite well-spoken and eloquent.
* GiantFlyer: He even makes Optimus and Megatron look puny.
* GiantMook: Even bigger than the Insecticons. This applies even when he's in his robot form.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: A winged dragon who also happens to be a Decepticon.
* IllKillYou: His very first words in the show after Starscream hits him with a pipe.
-->'''Predaking''': Strike me again and I will bury that rod in your spark.
* ItCanThink: Foreshadowed at the end of "Prey", when Starscream's derisive remarks about Predaking being unable to speak or explain why it failed to bring back the Autobots resulted in the beast staring right at him, seemingly contemplating his words (they don't seem to put him in a good mood). Of course, the toyline kinda spoiled the fact that he (not it) is a sapient character with a robot mode of his own long before he appeared in the show. Further demonstrated in "Chain of Command", where he knocks away an incoming grenade that Wheeljack tried to throw into his mouth and recognized the bone fragment of a fellow Predacon, and later, in "Plus One", he watches Starsceam enter an override code on the communications array, then uses that code to access the ship's database so he can learn everything the Decepticons know of the Predacons.
* TheJuggernaut: Nothing has ever actually hurt him. This includes blasters, punches, grenades, katanas, ship-mounted cannons, the Forge of Solus Prime, burying him under rocks, and the detonation of an entire Energon mine. Ultra Magnus had to bash Predaking into a cliff face while he was hanging onto his ship just to delay the Predacon long enough for an escape. Even using the Apex Armor against him leaves the wearer nothing more than a glorified chew toy, though it does offer protection against his attacks.
* [[spoiler:LastOfHisKind: Thanks to the Decepticons' manipulations, he's now the last Predacon in existence.]]
** [[spoiler:One of the trailers for Project Predacon has shown two more on Cybertron, subverting it.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: Has an epic one that plays when he starts fighting.
* LightningBruiser: He's huge, strong enough to fling Cybertronians around like ragdolls, flies as fast as Ultra Mangus' ship, and can run almost as fast as the Autobots in vehicle mode. And he's even moreso in robot mode. His fighting style has him all over the place, using lightning relfexes and brute strength despite being bigger than Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack.
* MadeOfIron: By far the most durable character in the show. In his debut appearance, he survives the explosion of an entire energon mine and keeps on going. Getting slammed into a cliff face at high speed only stunned him. Even being frozen solid in the Arctic only kept him down until the storm finally passed and the sun came out.
* MightyRoar: ''Really'' mighty.
* NaiveNewcomer: Comes off as this in "Evolution".
* NobleDemon: While loyal, he won't put his brethren at risk, [[spoiler:and when he finds out that it's Megatron who was really responsible for the destruction of the embryos through his manipulation of the Autobots, he stops delivering a beatdown to Ratchet and goes after Megatron instead]].
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler: Gives a positively brutal one to Ratchet during Synthesis.]]
* TheNoseKnows: He can track the owner of an energon sample over great distances.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: At first everyone assumes that he's stupid and incapable of sentient thought. We're quickly shown that isn't the case. [[spoiler:Deconstructed when Megatron finds out, as he assumes that Predaking [[TheStarscream is planning to take over]], and takes decisive action against his brethren by manipulating the Autobots]].
* OhCrap: Just before [[spoiler: Megatron blasts him out of the ''Nemesis'']].
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: A giant, mechanical dragon.
* PapaWolf: Towards the Predacon clones.
* [[HumanPopsicle Predacon Popsicle]]: Like the Scraplets before him, except he didn't stay that way.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy : When he starts to develop a personality, he definitely fits this.
* PrehistoricMonster: A creature from Cybertron's ancient past that outclasses his modern-day counterparts.
* RestrainingBolt: Shockwave has some means of keeping him docile when he needs him to be.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: His fight with Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack.
** [[spoiler: And in "Synthesis", against Megatron after Ratchet reveals that Megatron is the one who planned the destruction of Shockwave's secret lab.]]
* SpikesOfVillainy: In Cybertronian form.
* TheStarscream: Even though he has pledged UndyingLoyalty, Megatron fears that Predaking may become this, and unlike the TropeNamer, may have a good chance of succeeding.
* SuddenlyVoiced: At first we assume it's a sentient being that simply cannot talk. Then after that, it's revealed he can talk and is extremely eloquent.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: It contrasts him from many of the other Cons, who have red eyes.
* SuperPersistentPredator: It takes a lot to keep him from going after his target.
* SuperStrength: Predaking is far stronger than the average Cybertronian, capable of tossing around Autobots with little difficulty. [[spoiler: He's also strong enough to wield the Forge of Solus Prime with one hand and later snap it in half.]]
* TragicVillain: He's a FossilRevival that is at present the only one of his kind to exist, then [[spoiler:Megatron ends up getting his brethren killed on purpose, leaving him as the LastOfHisKind]].
* UndyingLoyalty: Pledges this to Megatron, but Megatron [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy remains suspicious]]. [[spoiler:In the end, it's Megatron's betrayal that finally turns Predaking against ol' buckethead.]]
* UnstoppableRage: [[spoiler: When Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus destroy Shockwave's lab and all the Predacons]], Predaking completely loses it and beats the everloving scrap out of them.
-->'''Predaking''': What have you done to my brethren?! '''''WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!'''''
** [[spoiler: His rampage at the end of "Synthesis" has him tearing every Vehicon he comes across apart just to find Megatron after Ratchet convinces Predaking of Megatron's treachery.]]
* TheVoiceless: Being an animal, it can't do much more than growl and roar. This is lampshaded by Starscream, who snarks at its inability to explain its failure to terminate the Autobots when first deployed. Subverted in "Evolution", which reveals it, or rather he, can talk.
* WingedHumanoid: In robot mode.
* [[spoiler:WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: After the destruction of his Predacon brethren.]]
