Any other titans recommended? I like the look of the ark; any idea what the next titan will be?
Any recommendations on Micromasters?

I thought the Takara Trypticon fixed the hips issue? Yea... at 2 he mostly just "messes with them". He's certainly enjoyed watching me Transform Omega Supreme and seems to enjoy both modes.

Not always. These forums are populated by people all across the world. I have to turn the Australian off just so you lot can understand me.

He cannot properly "eat" Micromasters. However, he can "eat" titan masters, meaning his ennemies HEADS.
So while hunting for Trippy, try to get a few Titan Returns titan masters.

o.supreme wrote:Man that just goes to show, once Titans sell out (initially), their prices skyrocket. Glad I have them all . Anyway...wow...Even for an import LG43 Dinosaurer, some places had them for as low as $120 USD at one point. (Not to mention all the Infamous Ollies $40 Hasbro Trypticons, because of the whole TRU going out of business fiasco).
While I do agree that $300 is quite a bit to pay, I don't think it's necessarily the worst toy ever. For some odd reason, i got one fairly early on, but it didn't have the hip issue, maybe it was one of the very first fixes? I don't know...
Anyway... I'm probably more lenient because I enjoy these characters. Even with all the flaws. I'd say Siege Omega Supreme is by far my favorite, with Scorponok being a close second. Trypticon is probably a distant 3rd followed by Fort Max and Metroplex. I'd say the most recent (Ark), is my least favorite, even more so than T30 Metroplex. Habro/TT get points for trying, and I actually think Mainframe is an excellent, and quite versatile deluxe figure. I probably like Mainframe more than The Ark itself. . But the Ark just seems like either they could have done more with it, or charged less. I paid full price at Target (with a 5% discount). But for what you actually get, I would say it's worth more in the $100-$120 USD range, certainly not $170.

Is scorponok really that good? I can't say that I care for him... If I had to choose one, black zarak or scorponok, which should I choose?
I really like the look of the ark, but he lacks playability...
I showed my son photos of the Titans and he definitely liked Trypticon, just like I anticipated...

There is NO difference between Takara or Hasbro for Trypticon appart the box. But if you like Trypticon better, getting another Titan instead would make no sense even if the other one is half price.

Are you 100% certain of the lack of difference? Everything I've read says that the hip issue is hit and miss on the Hasbro version. Never occurred on the Takara version. Point me in the direction of a cheaper Trypticon and I'll toss you a "thank you".
Insofar as other titans it's always good to keep my options open. O:-)

Cleaning what? Because the kind of grime require different methods and products.
Also, preserving packagings of normal mainline figures? There's not much point. Keep the titan box for sure, but the rest can be used as fun scrapbooking projects.
