Thanks to Cybertron Philippines and Seibertronian Primeultimus we now have In-Box shots of Hasbro Transformers Platinum Edition G1 Reissue Trypticon! It was only days ago that the Trypticon Reissue went from rumor to confirmation (with a TFsource Pre-Order), and now we have shots of some stunning box artwork and the open flap picture window of the figure.

Looks like the decals are already attached just like Piranacon.

Focus on one genre. What is your primary? I'm on G1 vintage. So I focused on it like my Seeker Squad. The UW line comes in 2 month intervals hence I can recharge the funds.

In the Japanese back story, the original Metroplex (Encore#12 recent release) was severely damaged. The reconstruction on him lead to his doubling/tripling size to that of Fortmax. So now, Maybe a new backstory for a generations remake of the big Dino. Though I wish for "less" electronic gimmicks this time.

But nearly 9 years from Tomy/Takara's Metroflex re-issue...........sigh.Now a Hasbor Asia/Platinum release! Our hobbies are quite a bit of a frustration and self flagellation. But rewards are quite priceless once completed. :DANCE:

Trypticon has been on my shortlist to buy for way too long and a true complete vintage one usually runs over $200 so I'll probably snag this.

Btw, for those who want a Titan Class version, good sales on both this and Devastator would probably help convince them to do one.

5 years ago and $100 less I'd have been up for this. But in a world where Botcon Scorponok and Titan Metroplex exist this thing seems, no pun intended, prehistoric.

I don't usually go for G1 reissues, but Trypticon is something unique that they don't seem ready to repeat yet. Shame it's so expensive, or I'd be all over it.

How big is he, BTW?

I have both of those figures...which is another reason why I wouldn't want a G1 reissue of Tryppy at this price.

I got lucky to get a complete G1 Trypticon a few years back for about the cost of the Platinum.

12-14" is about right. I had mine up with the larger Godzilla figures and my Robostrux Terox (Zoids Gojulas).

I've already been screwed by the Fort Max reissue. As much as I want this figure I may have to wait for the sale for money to even out.
I might regret waiting or I might regret jumping.

How did you get screwed by Fort Max? Aside from the painted eyes on Cerebros, he's identical to the original...
Anyway, maybe this will drop ebay prices on Full-Tilt's gun. I can't stomach paying upwards of 50 bucks for that as it is.

Yarrrp. No electronics in Fort Max.

Also, the price on Trypticon's little bowtie is hilariously high. I'm so bloody happy I have mine in place.

This is one of those figures I really want a toy for. But knowing how he scales with everyone else, my interest wanes. If I buy him, he'll probably stay mint in box rather than be displayed.

Whether I buy him depends entirely on price. If it's more than $200, no dice.

Yeah, from the top of my head I can count only 3 toys that had electronics back in G1:

- Shockwave
- Trypticon
- Galvatron

Back then, electronics were rarely used in toys because of expenses and lack of technical know-how.

Already have an original. This reissue looks great, but I'm worried this new one will be made of cheap rubberized plastic. But, who knows? Here's to hoping it's solid.

Still have my original from when I was a wee little tyke. Lost / broke the radar dishes, and one of the towers that becomes the tank, but otherwise, he's the same as when I first got him. If you're worried about scale, put him in base mode for your Micromasters / Cyberverse / Minicons.

While I completely understand why people would pass on an item like this, it is too bad all the same.
I didnt think Hasbro would ever reissue this guy and thus I bought a G1 version (less equipped but a lot cheaper than this). And there are many fans who are now just willing to move on from G1 and want updated forms, which makes sense since that is what Hasbro has been doing pretty intensively these past 2 years.
But now Hasbro will read these boards (since it is one of their main indication of what this particular market may want), see the low interest, and it will reflect in sales as G1 rereleases ALWAYS do. And they will further make up their minds that there isn't much of a market for G1 rereleases and we lose again.

Sometimes, we are our own worst enemies.

Love the fact that they are making this but I already have a complete working vintage one. If this had a premium treatment like metallic paint like that Asia exclusive Sixshot then I might be convinced to double dip like I did with Sixshot.

Strap in readers, this morning Seibertron.com brings you the first In-Hand shots of Transformers Platinum Edition G1 Reissue Seeker Squadron 3-Pack! These three (Thrust, Dirge, & Ramjet) are better known to the fandom as the "Coneheads", and are originally remolds of the original Seeker trio (Starscream, Skywarp, & Thundercracker). The only noticeable difference between this reissue set and their G1 counterparts is that Thrust's missile launchers are slightly remolded to remove the firing mechanism, though the missiles themselves remain the same.

What makes this Reissue set special is that while the original trio has been reissued a number of times, the Conehead trio was only reissued once by E-Hobby in 2001 (limit 1000 pieces and quite expensive on secondary market) and Dirge got a solo release in the ToysRus Commemorative Reissue series. This Seeker Squadron is available at some specialty online retailers (like sponsor TFsource), but was squired by yours truly through Wal-Mart.ca so hopefully it will show up on the American site and maybe even store shelves. But without further ado, the gallery below is why you clicked on this story so keep scrolling. Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

Hey Hasbro- don't listen to these people! G1 reissues are a fantastic idea, particularly reissues of Japanese G1 stuff that never made itto the US/UK. Victory, Return of Convoy and Masterforce are great places to start!

Awesome find! Hmm, no Decepticon symbol tampos? How does the overall QC look & how does the plastic feel? I assume that Dirges's gold wings are still metallic & Thrust is still beautifully swirly-maroon (though not as much as the CHUG one), the die-cast is there & their joints are nice & tight. I hope we see a US release soon. :D

To my knowledge, the only tampo'ing done on G1 Reissues were done on the Takara Encore figures, and I have yet to put the stickers on my trio.

The QC is fantastic. Strangely enough, the only seekers I had as a child were Dirge and Thrust. It's hard to explain, but these guys feel a little lighter than I remember but of course I'm working from memory of toys I played with 25 years ago. So while they don't feel exactly the same, they do feel fantastic, at very least on par with the other Seeker Reissues I've handled.

I HIGHLY recommend this set ;)^
