I asked Glen Hallit about this one at BotCon, actually. All
Maximal toy molds are supposed to be Maximals, and all Predacon toy molds
are supposed to be Predacons. I assume Hasbro issued that condition to
make sure their designs retain some semblance of "thematic" appeal even
when they're recolored. Apparently, Onyx Primal was *supposed* to be a
Maximal, but he ended up being a Predacon. As it stands now, Onyx Primal
is indeed a Maxie.

I think the Preds got tired of him misquoting Pulp Fiction's misquoting
of the Bible and kicked him out. Now only Packrat will hang out with him.

with his Transcon flier....

Well, I run Onyx in kinda the Dinobot role... the Preds got to his pod
first, he worked with them for a while, got caught trying to subvert
Meggy, and decided that life might be less painful if he moved over to
the Maximal neighborhood. He ain't a popular member, but there he is...
