He already got a full upgrade set to himself: X9.
I want the Trypticon sets, but I think I'd need to buy a second one or wait until a rerelease, because I want one with original stickers, too.

While Metroplex isn't THAT challenging or expensive to get a second of, the Trypticon set leaves me thinking Reprolabels must be praying for a reissue soon. If that is the case, he should also come with a black repaint of Tailgate to represent Wipeout (hey, TF United Darkmount actually being called Straxus proves stranger things have happened), and for a repaint that wouldn't just be a Gigastorm reissue, they could paint him red and black as an homage to Deadeye from Starriors, prompting Reprolabels to do another set denoting where within him Man sleeps, in addition to where the Men's Room is.
Trypsie's profile clearly states that those orange hip thingies are force field or jamming field generators, but I guess making them space bridges is a cute touch since there's never been a toy representation of any space bridge. The only stickers I'm iffy about are the chrome mushroom circles at his jaw hinge.

Now i just need to get me a Trypticon. I'm such a fool for passing one up at the flea market for a hundered bucks a year ago!! I just didn't have the money. .
I regret missing that deal now more than ever.

Have you seen a NASCAR race? More stickers, more money.
I was really impressed with the quality of the sets I bought a couple of months ago and plan on getting more down the road.

I'm lucky enough to own three medium condition Trypticon's (all with slightly damaged parts here and there), bought with the intent to make one very nice one... I was needing Trypticon labels anyhow, and it looks like this might be the set that gets to go on that version.
