This is why I don't have friends and am single.
They are just trying to get a leg up on the competition.

Based on this reveal, I'd say that this Trypticon figure doesn't have a leg to stand on.
(I am of course kidding, it looks amazing so far.)

Here's one looking at it how many scorponok figures have we had in past compare all of them to only generation one figure that deserves remade typticon it's fair by numbers perspective.,
I may have well watched this video on mute can't understand single word anyone is saying

trypticon could have been release during combiner wars because metroplex was back in 2013 so we have a 3 year gap between metroplex and fortmax and now we get trypticon a year later! i know trypticon was a fan choice presented to us a short time ago but they could have started the poll 2 years ago
so now we have a headmasters toy line without on of its biggest stars i know we need trypticon too
i just wish we didn't have to wait until now when scorponok would be more appropriate
oh well

and still be a Headmaster under Prime Wars 3.0.
Actually perhaps he can have a double headmaster or one of those titanmaster exo-frame like designs for the smaller head to pilot.
-------
I wouldn't mind to see MP Soundwave released without the Cassettes they are so easy to get and cheap there is barely any point including them all unless they make them a different paint type like gloss instead of metallic or metallic instead of gloss. I hear he's getting an overscale KO so I may just go with that.

I wonder if Takara will skip Sixshot and go straight to Six Knight instead ?

2014 was the only year without its own Titan, as that was because Hasbro was then still needing to see how successful Metroplex would be before they could proceed with making more than one Titan, and then they started working on their second Titan, with their needing time to work on it requiring it to come out during 2015, which resulted in Devastator being the 2015 Titan. And now Fort Max is the 2016 Titan, and with Trypticon winning the poll to be the 2017 Titan.Ultra Markus wrote:trypticon could have been release during combiner wars because metroplex was back in 2013 so we have a 3 year gap between metroplex and fortmax and now we get trypticon a year later!
Except that two years ago was around the time when the brand team changed from Aaron Archer's team to John Warden's team. The team from back then likely had no involvement in the fan poll that was cooked up by the current team.Ultra Markus wrote:i know trypticon was a fan choice presented to us a short time ago but they could have started the poll 2 years ago

Why would they? Sixshot was an important character in The Headmasters cartoon, whose story ended on a note of his beginning a new starting point in his life. He's practically begging to have the next step in his life's story told, and Takara' Legends line would be the perfect opportunity for them to do just that.RAR wrote:I wonder if Takara will skip Sixshot and go straight to Six Knight instead ?
By comparison, Sixknight, while cool in his own right, was more like a footnote when compared to Sixshot's prominence, as Sixknight only appeared in four episodes of Masterforce, with one of those being him appearing just so he could be brutally murdered by the Devil Zed-possessed BlackZarak.

Agreed. I would love this too, but I think they are going to keep him with a traditional base mode in this case. Would be nice if there was a way to fan-mode it after. I'd love something with the Nemesis, like a scale replica like they did with the Ark.

Its a guarantee thats what they will do. That leg section transforms like the G1 version by splitting up. And along with what we have seen, this confirms to be an upscale of the G1 figure with modernized engineering.

That doesn't make it terrible though. I mean it'll be nice to see a large-scale version of that with the modern engineering behind it. I just worry about price point at that. Take Hasbro's AT-ACT walker from Star Wars Rogue One being like MSRP: $300.00 or so. I hope Trypticon is not that much as the after market will probably be like if you bought a nice used car.

In Beast Wars: Uprising, Trypticon instead got reconfigured into the Dinosaur, with his city mode given the name "Dinosaur City".truegrit wrote:I know it's a longshot, but I would love it if Trypticon also transformed into the Nemesis
