And Full-Tilt rocks.

I have one and have played with it often for 2 weeks now with no QC issues.

That may not actually be a tab. Is there a corresponding slot on Trip for such a tab to go into?
To me, mordhelm's pic looks like a sprue trim mark. Yet, I also do not see a corresponding tab or stress marks nearer the end of the ramp as on Seib's Trypt. It could be a "short shot" where not enough plastic was crammed into the mold (or the plastic temp was too low when flowing) and the tabs didn't form.
I'm getting my Trypt next week. When I get him, I'll look at that area and compare it with my plastics molding experience...

Looking again at mine.
I can confirm that is not a broken tab, but a sprue trim mark.
Trypticon doesn't have slots for the ramp, but it's hold in place by a some grooves in the tail. If it's loose, try to see if there are screws that may be tightened, or place some nail polish on the grooves

Ah. I didn't see that in the gallery. Almost no reviewer has discussed them.Emerje wrote:Crosscheck wrote:I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but the purple barrels on Tryp's towers can extend out. It either can be used to make his skyscrapers bigger or cannons longer.
Yep!
It's a carry over from the original G1 figure that they probably could have skipped and left them long and few would have noticed (espcially judging from all of the gallery where they're either always out or never out).

But I tried this method too, and it looks like it works.

Where'd you find the spring, and what kind was it? I was thinking of doing this, but there's a lot of measurements for springs. Wasn't sure if a hardware store would carry them (haven't checked yet).
