I'm loving it! So much detail.
Stunning!
Have no room but will end up buying
Love all the detailing! Hasbro have done a great job, not really sure how takara could improve on it. I'll be interested to know if they've kept the walking gimmick and if it will the voice gimmick like metroplex and fort max?
I look forward to seeing it next to metroplex. I'm surprised it is so similar to the G1 version given metroplex.
JUST TAKE MY MONEY! :D
I don't care if they don't include it. The novelty of these gimmicks don't last long, and Fortress Maximus' voice was pretty forgettable.Quote:

I have been wondering this all morning, how is this going to fit into the the Titan Returns line? All TR figures so far have been Headmasters.
I am wondering if Trypticon will be apart of the Power of the Primes line
Looks great! I kind of hope it doesn't have the head master gimmick. A headless trypticon isn't very appealing to me.
Showed it to my 9 year old son and now he's soooo torn on whether to get this or MP Megs with his lai see money... oh the challenges of being a kid! ;)
I don't have the heart to tell him Trypticon will be joining our collection regardless. Always good to motivate the concept of saving for the things we like right? :)
I was thinking the same, which going by production life cycle very likely.Quote:

Interesting he still has the forks for the walking gimmick on his feet. That said I doubt he will walk.Quote:

Metroplex came at a time we were getting updated designs - Springer, Trailcutter, Skids etc. TR is very much a back to G1 design line, so this fitsQuote:

It seems like each line has had 1 titan release, so my theory could be correct
I reckon this Trypticon is pretty cool.... it looks nice enough and I'll buy it, but I was sort of hoping it would be more articulated so we'd be able to get some more dynamic dinosaur poses out of it. Ah well, can't be too fussy :o
As good as they are, more people like G1 than WfC/FoC.Quote:

At least this one looks unique. Shame the tail isn't a teeny bit longer but at least it is not stubby. Might have to reprolabel this one, but I said that about Metroplex too and haven't bothered so far.
Well there could only be 2 more to go after this one, Omega Supreme and Scorponok :):DQuote:

Weren't people pointing out foot pegs and cockpits for Titan Masters on the leg revealed back in October?Quote:

... oh frag it! Who am I kidding?! I WANTS IT! I WANTS IT BAD!
Can't wait to line him up next to Gen Metroplex, TR Fort Max and GA Scorponok. Will finally have new versions of the big 4 in scale to each other to display :D
We had minicon attachment points on figures long after minicons disappeared, and for the sake of a tiny plastic nub they may as well.Quote:

I reckon this guy will be the base mold for Scorponok.
Looks good. I wonder what Takara will do with it.
And the. There will be the SDCC version, probably a NYCC version, a Chinese convention version. And so on. And so on. And so on.
Awesome render, but what will the actual toy look like? :p
Very promising though, I'm glad they opted for a slightly smaller size rather than going big for the sake of it like the previous Titans.
The tail seems a bit stubby, but it could be the angle. Still could well be the best of the Titan size toys so far.
If he can't walk, I'm going to keep my G1 Platinum release on display. The toy is perfect and I s ee no reason to replace him.
Did someone order a tonne of purple chrome?Quote:

The shorter tail may be indicative that this toy has superior balance to G1 Trypticon completely relies on the tail to remain upright when standing and walking. G1 Trypticon is very much a tail dragger, which is technically incorrect for a dinosaur (and remember that Trypticon's name in Japan is Dinosaurer ;)).
Good call! :D I can't think of any other redeco potential. Scorponok would be impossible because the design is completely different. Although a Titan Class Scorponok could be redecoed as Double Punch.Quote:

The Nine Generals gear would actually be a neat thing for a third party company to pick up on. :)
Might be difficult to get off the ground, even for third party collectors :p For cartoons, seems like the further away from the original Sunbrow G1 series, the harder it is to find someone who's watched those cartoons and hence willing to whip out the cash for nostalgia.Quote:

I know that but your argument would have more weight if either Trypticon looked anything like a dinosaur, instead Trypticon looks like Godzilla whose got a big ol tail. :pQuote:
