Typticon is the ultimate Decepticon weapon, capable of converting between three forms, each more massive than the last. Whether in T-Rex mode, city mode, or battle station mode, his goal remains the same: total destruction of the Autobots.

Here's hoping they re-release Gigastorm also.

Ya know, unless it's the picture quality, they have changed the color a little. All the blue bits, including the little guy, were originally purple.
EDIT: "little guy" = Full Tilt.

Pretty sure it's the lighting and quality of the pic, it looks purple to me.
Maybe men see purple, and women see blue.

The more I see Triptycon, the more I'm tempted. Still. If the US price is 200$, I just cant imagine what the Canadian price will be. Especially if it's TrU who sell it.

Scotty, 2 things...
1. What color do you see? That's not the original purple is it?
2. Gun? What gun? Do you know what it looks like? I'll go dig through my random parts box right now!

1 - Purple, 2 - tiny silver double barrelled gun. One of the most expensive G1 parts on the secondary market because it's so easy to lose. I'm on my phone so it may be a resolution thing, but I can't find it in any of the images. It'd be almost cruel if it's not included :/

Mine uses D cells I am curious to see if they have changed that. Also want to see if the motors are still loud. Since the news came out I have been looking my original I got as a kid and am giving serious thought to getting an updated version.

It's pretty impossible to discern, but here's the front of the box with a picture of the batteries.jgilkinson wrote:Mine uses D cells I am curious to see if they have changed that.

You mean this right? It's so small that it might be there in the box obscured by something else. Trypticon uses 2 C batteries in his tail to walk & for his spinning guns & radar, & 1 AA for the tank/Brunt's cannon light. My brother has an old vintage one which works, but I always wondered if Brunt's light was meant to flash or just stay on. I'd want a new one myself, but $200.00 is steep for me. Still, a full-on G1 Trypticon with his correct colors, functioning mechanicles, & all his accessories, is hard to pass up. I hope Scorponok is the next city-bot or Dai-Atlas or OverLord (they're kind of city-bots).

I'm definitely interested and want it because of nostalgia, but uh...the asking price is too much for my wallet. I'm not saying it's not worth it, it's just not worth it to me.
It looks nice, though, really nice.

This is good for collectors, old and new, who missed the opportunity like 29 years ago.
