I want all of them, but if I had to choose it would be Trypticon. Why do this Hasbro :(

If real, Trypticon. He needs love.
Well seeing as they are all new molds (likely) I am torn between them
If this is a thing i'll vote for 3 people :D
What is the source of the image, so that we can see if it is legit or another fake image that's shown up on weibo lately.
A couple weeks ago there were some fake combiner Terrorcon images that were done up to look like it was from a Hasbro presentation.... and this doesn't have anything official or Hasbro written on it.
If it's real.... C'mon Scorponok !!!!
And Star Saber.Quote:

I got to join the group :cool:
The decisions already been made, but it's nice of them to let us believe that we're contributing in some way
Trypticon would be nice! Metroplex needs a counterpart.
It must be a private group as I can't see it without being asked to log in first... which is something Hasbro wouldn't do if it meant to be a (public) marketing campaign.Quote:

If they've already made up their mind I'd expect it to be either omega or scoropnok as I feel they may pop up again soon in IDWQuote:

I think overall he'd make a much for interactive playset as well, beyond being a counterpart to Metroplex has a bit of interaction with the Aerialbots (runways) and the Protectobots (ramps/roads).Quote:

It's pretty tough to create a scene with just Metroplex with the Decepticons not getting their faces smushed in.
Also I joined and (obviously) voted for Skorponok
Its a hk group of asian transformers news. Its its a leak that somene who works in hasbro as it will be made public soon. We confirmed this on tfw already.Quote:

Considering I already have G1 Fort Max, Generations Metroplex and Gigantic Action Scorponok, a Trypticon of that size/height would really round out the big 4 for me :D
Come to think if it, my YOTS Omega Supreme would scale fairly well with that lot (depending in what continuity you subscribe to)
You poor little G1 kids -- having to choose between three of your favourite giant bots.
Exactly. Considering how long it probably takes to develop, prototype, mass produce and market a toy like this, there's surely no way they haven't already decided.Quote:

I don't know how I'll justify to the Mrs getting all these for my son. Metroplex alone imposes his will on the room, imagine 4 or 5 of them?Quote:

If true, Typty for me :D
Ah I like the distinction, we'll see how far that gets me lol!Quote:

* Generations Waspinator = yes, the robot mode is clearly inspired by the show mode, but the original is still better. No unsightly gap in beast mode, and the robot hands are relatively better hidden. Gen Waspy does have a cool flapping wing gimmick, although sacrifices the missile launcher gimmick.
* Generations Rhinox = a very nice toy, but bear in mind that it's a Voyager whereas the original's a smaller/cheaper Deluxe. And you can't blame the original for not having chain guns, because the show didn't exist when this toy was made. I regard both toys as being equal, relative to their size class.
* Generations Tankor = not a bad toy, but the original Mega figure is definitely better. I don't really care about show likeness all that much, but the Basic Class Tank Drone was more show accurate than this toy.
And this isn't a criticism towards the designs of the CHUGUR BW toys, but rather just indicative of how awesome and ahead of their time the original BW TFs were. They just haven't dated nearly as much as G1 has. One thing I enjoy about going back and playing w/ my BW figures today is seeing certain design elements which have even carried over into MP toys today. :D BW really was the birth of the modern Transformers action figure.
If they're going to make it's head a headmaster like every other titan, then it must be Scorponok.
Metroplex himself was a Titan, so I'm guessing it would refer to the size class more here, but it fits in with the theme.Quote:

I'm a member of that FB group and I am not entirely sure this image is legit.
People are saying it is coming from a Hasbro worker in China but I am ever the sceptic with these things... for a start, why would CHINA be delivering this marketing campaign? Wouldn't it come from Hasbro US?
Whilst the boys in HK-TF are pretty good blokes and post some AMAZING shots of their stuff until I see this come through an official site I'm not going to get too excited...
So yeah its legit, and my vote is gonna be on either Trypticon or Scorponok, because we do need some Decepticon titan figures.
A titans class Trypticon would be a task in itself trying to fit on the average shelf. Height is one thing but how do you fit in the tail on the shelf? Would love one though :)
