Generations Trypticon toy fully revealed

[GoktimusPrime]

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 ).

... Or Gigastorm.

Good call! 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.

'Nuther great call. Although I doubt they'd do it considering that we still don't have a CHUGUR Metro Titan or Grand Maximus.

Seemed like the perfect choice for conventions to homage. However I don't think it's a great idea as a general release. If they did started releasing these obscure reuses at retail then it could get real silly real quick - like TF Zone Nine Great Demon Generals Trypticon with exclusive Roman Armour and Shield?

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 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.

Don't want to derail the topic, but Fansproject's Saurus (not-Dinoking) had the innerbots and dino shells sold separately because the size and cost of the shells was too much. Using them as an example as their size/price has always been consistently moderate. If your fingers are itchy.. click here.

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.

Well considering the biggest ever dinosaur was still smaller in mass than a blue whale, and Trypticon is maybe a mile or two tall, I reckon he could pick Godzilla up in one claw and bite his head off After all, in most movies Godzilla is not much bigger than a skyscraper and Trypticon is toting two of those on his shoulder blades no probs

It looks awesome. Unfortunately it will inevitably cost $350+ when it's released over here and I have better things to spend that money on. But if someone buys one for me I won't be upset.
