RACE: Predacons

Ancient Predacons were the Cybertronian equivilant of dinosaurs, and looked very similar to Earth's mythical creatures. In recent history, Shockwave found viable CNA in various ancient Predacon remains and used it to clone Predacons using modern protoforms, replacing the protoforms' base CNA with that of the Predacon remains. These clones are often called the Third Wave of Predacons, the true return of the race. A large step forward from her older experiments with the Forged.

Predacons are all larger Cybertronians generally ranging from deluxe to leader size, and often have great pride in their ancient heritage. Today they are usually created through budding or by cloning projects run by Predacons. Most Cybertronians consider the effort to create Predacons specifically to be too resource-intensive, but Predacons consider it worthwhile to keep their numbers stable. Many Predacons have a strong sense of kinship with other Predacons, and are prone to pack-like behavior. So far, no Predacons have ever defected. But their stance on the Forged varies greatly with some accepting them as kin and others considering them lesser imitations.
