I think trypticon looks awesome. A different looking alt mode would make some sense in a smaller toy that is less of a gamble, but for a toy this size the main frame of reference is the g1 toy, especially if it transforms into a base.

Fort max strayed from his g1 origins for base mode (dont give me that catalogue crap) and suffers for it to no end. Lets give Hasbro a break here and welcome them playing it safe for this particular instance.

For all those saying that they might as well buy the g1 toy (a worthwhile argument for Fort max), please note that the g1 Trypticon toy is not that great. Would definitely not be on a top 5 list of best base bots (umm... I havent written that list yet, maybe I should, and maybe I should wait for this guy to come out before).

This is my feeling. I'll wait and see how good or otherwise the base and land cruiser modes are, but I have a good feeling about this. I hope the base mode isn't 100% just the G1 toy's base mode, if only because that thing wasn't the most...convincing ever (though the small size didn't help) but at the same time it doesn't need to be completely different.

Eh, opinions were asked for, i gave it. I'm glad plenty of people are loving it. Is g1 trypticon toy bad? I'll find out. Seen plenty of people who love it. Just got the platinum for 85 quid. Would have been 75 but i was waiting to see what this looked like. Like i said, it's also a matter of cost and shelf space. For a trypticon that looks like his g1 toy, that's gonna fit better in my shelf and dsplay.


An fortress can have his legs up as towers. He's got mini ratchet clicks in his thighs to hold them if you transorm them right. But it still looks different to his g1 look.



That art was from the legends game? Heh. I didn't think he would look exactly like that. Just giving an example of how you can redisign trypty.

Oh of course, and I was giving my opinion too. And if you are looking for a smaller Trippy then the g1 fits the bill totally fine. I think the reason why the comparisons between g1 and TR fortmax were so easy to do was because they were relatively the same size and would thus use the same shelfspace. Here, both toys can serve different purposes.

One last thing about fort max, its not just the look of the base mode but the playability. Ramps that would reach the floor would go a looooooong way. I am hoping they learn their lesson for Scorponok who also has ramps everywhere.

After the initial, probably very unplanned, sudden reveal of Transformers Titans Return Trypticon, as covered here, the official Transformers Instagram account has posted another teaser, confirming the figure's full reveal to happen this weekend at the New York Toy Fair 2017! Check it out below, and stay tuned soon for more toy news to come.

video!

I agree about the functionality of fort. No contest there which is better.

I guess i was just hoping for something different from him given how the other titans turned out. Even devastator had some changes made. I was ready to get this trypt, but for how he looks.... G1 is better for me as i said. And at least i can dust off my broken metroplex and have the two side by side at the right height. I am curious to see the other modes of the new one and see what functions he has.

[frogbat]

hasbro and leaks lol

there is a part of me - the one attached to my wallet that hopes there aren't too many figures announced that'll interest me... on the other hand hope there'll be more and more waves of TR figures

I'm confused. We've already seen the whole figure, but now they're "teasing" us with just an outline of it, and an announcement that it's going to be revealed at NYTF, which we already knew?

It's called 'we're trying to cover for the fact that someone's fingers slipped you guyyysssss'

[Stuartmaximus]

Wtf? was that it? just a silhouette! pah...

& c'mon willie J.....scorponok doesn't have ramps everywhere! he has 3 at most, i know coz i used to have the G1 figure....a very long time ago

[Va'al]

Wtf? was that it? just a silhouette! pah...

It's.. the same image. But blanked out.

[It Is Him]

Hasbro must think we are really dumb if they didn't bother to adjust their spoiled marketing campaign

Yeah he has 3, but they cover 75% of the cardinal points and all reach the ground. I hope that stays the same for the Titan Release.

For all those saying that they might as well buy the g1 toy (a worthwhile argument for Fort max), please note that the g1 Trypticon toy is not that great.

I liked it. Even more fun to set it loose on a cat.

Now imagine this guy with a motorised walking function and a cat.

Are you saying Trypticon comes with a free cat?

[Stuartmaximus]

Hmmmm maybe the cat's called Brunt

Unfortunately I tried that as a kid, my cat was not impressed. In fact all the "motorized" Transformers (OS, Tryp, Skylynx) were too slow.

But MOTU Spydor & the cat--now that was a sight to see LOL.

But trying to get back OT, if this new Trypticon is motorized, I know that lends some feasibility that a heavy retool for Omega Supreme could come down the line. I'm torn...

Mobility has a cool nostalgia factor, but I don't know if the increased price, and the limited poseability due to the electronics needed would be worth it. If it could have a use/non-use option that might be cool. Also how long before some fans would *enhance* it to see how fast they could get it to go LOL!

[Burn]

I hate you people.
(FYI, if you want to try freaking a cat out, just sit Supreme Cheetor in the middle of the lounge)

[Stuartmaximus]

So....i can't wait to see the cat at the toyfair on saturday

[Wolfman Jake]

Guys, there is no cat coming with Trypticon now. Hasbro let it out of the bag!
