Generations Trypticon toy fully revealed

[FatalityPitt]

There's always a chance for a retool, even when it's not obvious.

The definition of a retool/remold is a lot more broad these days too - look at Sandstorm/Springer, Alpha Trion/Broadside, Rook/Swindle for examples of how far removed mold-mates can be.

I reckon this guy will be the base mold for Scorponok.

... Or Gigastorm.

[MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!]

Poor, poor Stumpticon! But let's be kind -- it was probably cold when they made that render...

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.

Double Punch and Black Zarak (with some retooling)

'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.
