    Hasbro would not reissue a figure before Takara
    A varient of Trypticon was used for Beast Wars smething in Japan, so there must be some form of him kicking around somewhere.

    Ooor, Maybe its a new Titan to go with new Metroplex?

    Trypticon and Blaster are 2 of my G1 collection that I am looking at upgrading, I guess I dont have to look that hard for them.

    Trypticon is my only interest and would be bought faster than you could say "Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya"

    Sweet!. Yes to Trypticon! I sure hope Takara revives the Encore line .... it just died after Fort Max....start it off with a Trypticon and they've got themselves a good start off hehehe.

    Sounds as though G1 Trypticon reisssue is a very popular choice.

    Out of curiosity, what was the RRP of G1 Trypticon back in the day?

    He was $58 USD (in one of the US catalogues of the time - compared to a USD $23 Ultra Magnus). So in AUD, I dunno, $120, $150 or more maybe? (Source on reddit)

    Trypticon may not have been reissued, but it's not like (as far as we know) the mould is lost. It was last used in the 90s for BW2 Gigastorm. As to Hasbro reissuing it before Takara, who can say? Stranger things have happened.

    We have never had the full set of Cone Heads reissued, yet it's confirmed Hasbro is doing them. I would like to know on all the reissues coming this year (confirmed or not) if there are any safety modifications. Much as I want a G1 Trypticon, Cone Heads and Insecticons safety modifications ruin it for me. That's why I've never picked up a Ultra Magnus reissue, Hasbro just loves to snip those stacks.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    I'd consider getting a Trypticon reissue (my G1 Trypticon is missing a lot of accessories ), but I don't need another Blaster or Perceptor.

    Hasbro did reissue the Seacons which TakaraTOMY have yet to do.
