Wasn't it the opaque turquoise plastic that broke on Trypticon's hips anyway? And that was because HasTak used overly-strong springs, which is unlikely to happen with that claw because it's not expected to bear anywhere near the kind of load Trypticon's hips are. What happened with Trypticon's hips was HasTak said "Whoa, these are gonna be holding up a lot of weight! We better use really strong springs! ....Oh slag, overdid it."

He's still a pass till he hits the clearance stores.

Same for me. While I absolutely love him, he's just too costly to pay full price for...that and Titans tend to always end up discounted down the line anyway.

Has Predaking been subject to the opposite and seen price spikes?

He's still available at primary online retailers, full price though.

A definite hard yes for me. What a gorgeous figure!

Oof, they used that same faded beige-ish shade of gray for Countdown that was used for TR Blaster and Powermaster Optimus.

News Credits: 30 · by **DeathReviews** » Fri Jun 21, 2019 9:55 pm

I KNEW it. I knew when they said Omega Supreme was 2 feet tall, they were including the wings. Actual height is about 20 inches. Still respectable, but he ain't no 2 footer...

Nor should he be. He needs to scale with his rival, Devastator.

Seems kind toy accurate unless the pics I've seen of G1 Omega Supreme were the result of decades of plastic discoloration.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Did they really change Omega's lightpiping color to orange? :shock:

I can't actually recall any Omegas with orange eyes... Hope they change it back to blue before it gets shipped out. The orange eyes and orange visor are a bit too much for me, but the blue eyes and orange visor made the eyes really pop

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Fri Jun 21, 2019 11:58 pm

A beige/ivory color is a match for Omega Supreme's original toy, on the outer track pieces and the inner forearms. Now, in the diorama photos SIEGE Omega's beige looks a bit dark in comparison, but in the white-background photo it looks lighter. As for Countdown getting it.. Well, that's mold economization for you. His parts are obviously on the same sprues as some of Omega's.

Alright. Well, the same seems likely for Omega Supreme then, so I have no worries about deferring accruing the funds for him. I was worried about a Combiner Wars situation.

Omega Supreme is awesome, but there's so much else I want to grab too and I don't have CW/UW Devastator.

The only Titan I ever saw on clearance was Trypticon (only.. we've only had 3 in the States really not counting SDCC versions, unless you count Cybertron and Unicron). I heard stories of Metroplex (my favorite Titan) on sale at Costco but I never saw him. Tempted to wait for Omega to go on sale... But I don't want to miss out on him either seeing as the only place I ever saw Titans was ToysRUs, which is apparently coming back from the Well of All Sparks

Rumors are that he has a light piping gimmick that changes color, but this hasn't been confirmed yet.

Even if I don't get one, it's not a "pass," it's a "my wallet won't allow it."

I'm strongly considering it, but Jetfire may be my uppermost price limit.

Rumors as in someone saw the eyes were different and said “‘maybe they change” it spread like a fire
