Toy Review - Trypticon (Platinum Edition)

[GoktimusPrime]

I didn't know this guy is not that tall. Kind of surprised for me.

Yeah, it surprised me when I first saw them loose back in the 80s. Metroplex isn't much taller either. Ultra Magnus is taller than Metroplex, and Galvatron is nearly as tall as Trypticon. They're really designed to be cities for the Scramble gestalt teams (e.g. Aerialbots, Stunticons etc.); both of them can connect with Scramble gestalt TFs.

Hey Gok, is the purple colour on the Trypticon reissue a darker purple or is the G1 vintage colour faded? Thanks.

I think mine's faded.

Currently uploading a short video I made of Trypticon walking here. Video is still uploading at the time of this post, so check back in a few minutes if it's still saying that it's processing.

It's a 29 year old toy, so yeah, it's gonna be faded.

While it's great that you uploaded a video, you need to try and avoid VVS (Vertical Video Syndrome).

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind for the IMAX 3D release.
