"ROM vs. the dreaded PREDACRON — everyone's favorite bounty-hunter! Wait a minute! Whose book is this, anyway?"
Talk about deep cuts. For those who don't know who Predacon is, or only knows about the Predacons from Transformers (both G1 and Beast Era), allow me to explain.
At the tail end of the original G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, Hasbro was just throwing shit at the wall to see what stuck in order to boost toy sales, which is how we ended up with a whole bunch of weird sublines like Eco-Warriors, Mega Marines, Drug Elimination Force, and so on. One of these of Star Brigade, where the Joes and Cobra went into space to fight each other. Star Brigade also introduced a new faction, the alien Lunartix Empire, which is where Predacon comes from.
Now, because he and his fellow Lunartix are such latecomers, and are from an era of Joe that the fans would rather forget about, Predacon hasn't really showed up much in media; I think the last time was in the G.I. Joe vs the Transformers: Black Horizon by Devil's Due, all the way back in 2007, while the Lunartix Empire as a whole have been refered to in the Beast Wars Uprising series.
I always wondered if Void Rivals, which has gained a reputation as the playground of the deep cuts andrelatively obscure characters, would one day feature the Lunartix characters. Well, it seems that day has finally come.
