Whatever method you choose to repair the hip problem (cutting spring vs breaking in the spring), should your copy have problem, there is no way to do so without disassembly. However, it's not a hard joint to access, and it doesn't appear to be a hard job in either case. The joint is supposed to be a little stiff to support his weight, however, and you should only do a fix if the joint is completely frozen up and you feel that damage may occur if you force it. I've talked to several people who have had recently bought Trypticon and none of their copies have needed the fix. It may have been early copies that suffered this problem, so I wouldn't recommend 'fixing' your Trypticon until you're sure it actually meeds it

Has anybody else noticed that Mega and Giga have joined legs? What if the engines are printed on the back of the legs? That would mean the pic of Overlord with two chest engines and a head was photoshopped.

So do the Hasbro ones. The official photos are pretty clear, there are 2 solid panels with the engines in the chest cavities, with one of the TM's as the head.

I do like that idea, tho. Quick, Chuck, become a Takara exec and make it happen! ;)^

Since when is Overlord having Engines that can't be removable or it can?
As far i as know, It can't be removable :(
Not to mention that it still either turns me off if it's not. but still a good effort for making it a Homage :BANG_HEAD:

Can anyone tell me what the button in the middle of Overlord's chest does?
Is it possible that it might be used to push out Mega and Giga on the Takara version?

On the Hasbro version, it's nothing. It just looks like a button. And Takara's Mega/Giga are molded in unfortunately.

You are reaching with that


yeah, since it would be more like Takara to take the already existing perceptor figure and repaint it/remold the face.

:shock: is that the Takara box!

yaaay :DANCE:

just wish this thing would hurry up n ship from Kapow :-x


one reason that the box could be larger is that Tryp's legs could be already attached(unlike the Hasbro one) or maybe he's packaged in Nemesis mode? coz when I got the :TAKARATOMY: Metroplex his arm was already attached(again...unlike the :HASBRO: one)

but... it's disappointing to hear that it's just the exact same thing(Trypticon) as the :HASBRO: version, with absolutely no changes except for maybe some paint apps(I thought they might've at least improved the stickers or painted Full Tilt's windshield)

Well for Metroplex at least (I'm not 100% certain on the others but I think the same applies), Takara did a poll to see which older LG figures fans wanted a reissue of, and these were the ones that got the most votes. So yes in fact, apparently people didn't buy those the first time round and wanted another go, hence the reissues.

Metroplex had nothing to do with that poll.

Were you expecting a running mold change like UW Devastator? The paint apps difference more than fits the bill of a "slightly" different from the Hb ver. category.

As you can see, in Japan, PRESENTATION is everyTHING!;)

As for Metroflex being re-issued, simple marketing strategy, he's Dinozer's rival. Maximize the buy me and the dinosaur for wallet killing effect! Just like MP-36 Megs, MP-10, MP-11,MP-13,MP-15 and MP-16 were concurrently released last April 2017.

we'll...maybe improved arm sections(where they stay tabbed in more securely in dinosaurer mode instead of so easily coming undone) as well as more paint apps on Full Tilt(like his windshield)

yeah...i know it's coming off of the same mold as the :HASBRO: one! so we can expect some of these to still have hip ratchet issues

anywhoo...who knows? maybe like with Fort Max, some 3p company will make improved parts/accessories/upgrade kits etc for him

I'm not entirely sure I'll ever understand why this community seems so against re-issues of popular characters, but completely for no-effort redecos of those figures into really obscure ones that they probably won't even buy.
