Oh and stu when you mentioned a potential repaint of tryp, I think you meant gigastorm not gigatron

As for how tryp looks...my god he is a beautiful beast, can't wait to see him against his rival metroplex.

As for the other reveals, looks like thin tankor is finally getting a good figure after his universe figure. Though optimus does look good in the mold has it already been explained though about what happened to the other head he was rumoured to come with?

Everything else is shaping up really well though I guess this is the last of the official reveals this year?

You never said which store, but the display looks a bit like TRU

If they did that would mean they did the designing blueprints, then all the back and forth with takara for the engineering, then made the mold, then made the prototype... in 7 months. Which is insane, especially for a new mold. So yeah, they must have started before so that we can have these kinds of pics now, which means (unless we had no choice afterall) that all 3 different titans were set up and ready to begin production, past the design and engineering stage.

Yeah, this is good stuff

On another note, oh man, that molded detail is lush, like nothing else, gotta wonder if it'll all make it through to the final production model, and if so, just how much of it will be painted. He could have incredible potential for customized paint jobs

Might be timing or it was some particular marketing plans who knows. Looks like a very strong effort and I'm curious to see hasbro con.

When will the next show/ event take place where we can expect some more news?
