    It may have been a "no photo" part of Toyfair, but its surprising that no details at all have been mentioned (that I can find.)
    It is indeed surprising that no one has at least given us some sort of commentary on Trypticon, like if it looked very Gen1, or over-simplified to make it cheaper to produce (there's not much redeco/remould potential as Gigastorm is very obscure, so I'd be surprised if even TakaraTomy do it).

    I asked the owner of BWTF site about his thoughts, and he said it was "very G1-centric", and seemed impressed by it.

    Hasbro should show off the designs again at BotCon in two months time, so if anyone is keen to see it, there's at least one reason to attend.

    Okay if Ben was happy with it, I'll be happy with it.
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    Cool, thanks for the extra bit of info "Very G1 centric" is a good starting point

    Well overall I'm very very impressed. Headmasters were my favourite as a kid and this reimagining is far better than I expected. I'm that big a fan I might actually but 2 lots of them all! Oh and all the little headmasters, gimme gimme gimme

    They do look good for what they are . I am just lucky that I have no attachment interest in them. But yes the headmaster are not a bad come back and I think target masters and power masters may make their way in as well down the road.
