Yeah, and it's my hope that they announce the final 1987 Headmaster Scorponok as a Leader class by New York Comic Con to tide us over until the inevitable Titan release. Powermaster Optimus Prime needs his Marvel Comics rival.

Don't expect Scorponok until after Trypticon, and don't expect Trypticon to be formally unveiled until Toy Fair 2017.

He's a lot more likely to be Titan Class - not only is he much more well-remembered as the rival of Fort Max, but he was one of three Titan Class poll options. Plus after Trypticon he's the only cityformer left, and it'd be odd to have three of those be titans and not the last.

I can get behind the idea of leader-class Scorponok for the Titan Returns line. I don't know why Hasbro thought it would be a good idea to let fans decide the second titan-class figure in a headmaster centric line but here we are now. Plus, like Emerje (kind of) said, it would scale well with PM Prime for recreating Marvel comic goodness. I don't think if they did make a leader-class Scorponok they'd completely drop the idea for a titan-class one either. (And it would be a lot more likely to see a leader-class figure get repainted as Black Zarak and Double Punch too.)

It's not the second figure in the TR line, it's the fourth in the titan size class

Yes it's the 4th titan but it is going to be the second titan released under titans return.

It is possible that, similarly to how Metroplex was released as simply "Transformers" and not specifically Generations or Thrilling 30, Trypticon will get the same treatment and not be explicitly Titans Return, giving him a pass from complying to the headmaster gimmick. OR, he could be the outlier and allow Titan Master interaction in the form of riding, weapon posts, etc, but not forming the head.

My bet is that Full-Tilt will be a headmaster to fit in with Titans Return. And Metroplex was most certainly part of Thrilling 30 and Generations, just look at the box.

Like I said, I want a Leader class figure before the Titan. We don't know when that Titan is coming out, it could be after Trypticon and released in 2018, or it could be after Omega Supreme and released in 2019. That's a long time to wait for the Decepticon Headmasters to get their leader.
And is he better remembered as Fort Max's rival? I mean, they were in the cartoons, but their rivalry was pretty short lived in the Marvel Comics story all the way through Regeneration One, and non existent in the ongoing IDW story. To me his rivalry and alliance with Optimus Prime was much more iconic of him. Plus I really like the idea of having a smaller Scorponok that can fill his role as a Decepticon leader better than a Titan can.
Just to be clear, I want a Leader class Fort Max as well, IDW style or not.

I don't have him or his box to consult.
But I can see from pictures that it had no "Generations" branding on the front and back, only the top and bottom, oddly. Thrilling 30 was there on the front and back, though. It's a bit odd. But my point remains: they could release Trypticon as a base bot, a character who can interact with the Titan Masters in every way except actually allowing them to form his head, which I think would be quite fine with everybody.
And I just realized this conversation would be more appropriate in the Titans Return thread.

Both images call it a base mode, he doesn't have a city mode.
