I see you're in the wrong thread.

Does anyone else notice topspin and twin twist in the background?

What?

That ship mode looks sweet

He looks spot-on, but I gotta draw the line somewhere.

The design-sheets are so intricate! Love when they release these things.

Finally seeing all of this... He may actually be perfect. I am in love. Pre-ordered. Promise.

FULL TILT TRANSFORMS

Ooooh, the ship mode is super cool. I might get him just for that, once he starts going for cheaper than retail that is.

So Trypticon comes with a Deluxe Titan Master Full Tilt with Necro. That makes him Necro Titan. Well...Necro the Titan Master, really. Kind of a roundabout homage, but I see the logic.

So, we have a Necro Titan AKA Titan of the undead, in the form of a long extinct/dead giant lizard that devours people whole, probably to harvest their brains. Zombies. Dinosaurs. Evil.

I reiterate: This figure may actually be perfect

That TM-eating gimmick sounds hilarious and awesome, and now I want him even more. I wonder what the "stomach" compartment will look like? FIlled with grindy gear details or a mock "acid tank" maybe? That'd be sweet.

Nah, Trypticon may be a destroyer of worlds, but Unicron he ain't

Someone needs to stick a Generations Metroplex next to him. I need to see how they look together.

Look under the missile launcher it looks like a leg

by the by, what are the chances of us getting Tailgate?

I started collecting after Metroplex was available, but I do recall Devestator and FM available at discounted prices. Kicked myself for getting both at full price. I really don't know if I should preorder Trypticon or hope it goes on sale first.

Yup, definitely regret it! I feel like the anticipation for Trypticon is a lot higher than for FM, so I'm afraid it'll be harder to get. I think I know the answer, but what will you be doing WJ, prordering or hunting for a deal?

And along with him, the rest of the diorama from the Hasbro booth at Toy Fair New York 2017, featuring Sky Shadow, Triggerhappy, Fort Max's sword, Gnaw and more - which we'll see tomorrow as we bring you coverage from the floor directly here, on Seibertron.com!

For speculation and discussion on the other Titans Return figures seen in the image, join us in the Titans Return thread!

Glorious indeed!

Now fellow seibertronians.......please support Hb/Takara's endeavors of keeping out wallets empty this June 2017. So We can get Scorponox next (hopefully Dinoser gets released this Christmas!).

Can we all take a second and speculate about the bots in the background because I see twintwist in and I'm pretty shire that's a new wind blade toy in the corner of the shelf. That twintwist is on and either ginrai g2 laser prime or nemesis prime up there on the shelf with the box plus a sixshot redeco and the clones or at least thats what I think the backround toys are the images are kinda blurry . p.s no paint on full tilt (or at least I think that's what I think his little purple friend goes by ) I know the g1 guy was unpainted but still

I just like the extra details on Trypticon. It makes him more robotic looking. I can't wait for the repaints and retools of this figure. (You might accuse me of looking in the future. )

If you go over HERE we have been discussing the other figures surrounding Trypticon. you may need to go back a page or 2 but that's where the talk is!

I'm totally looking forward to adding Trypticon to my collection! My only problem is that I need to find room for him...

Trypticon truly looks incredible. And I'm pleasantly surprised that Full-Tilt got the Titan Master treatment.

Has the height been measured? It says Trypticon is 'the biggest decepticon' figure ever, but he actually looks like he might be shorter than Devastator....

Actually the headmaster is supposed to be wipe-out as seen in the sketches of trypticon just an awesome little homage hasbro did

supossedly 19 inches tall.
even tho he should be taller than metro at 25 inches or even 26

That would be the only point of dis-appointment. I was also hoping for him to be at least as tall as Metroplex. Hopefully tomorrow's images will make it clearer...

Considering how skinny Metroplex is and how boxy Trypticon is, we all expected him to be shorter. He's simply significantly much more bulkier

He LITERALLY eats Titan Masters for breakfast and they come out his stomach! If I wasn't already sold (I was), I would be now. He's going to be magnificent and I will buy him on sight.

I know we are all having fun with Trypitcon being revealed, it is awesome, but I had a question about a distinction made earlier, or if there even is one. I was very confused with people calling Trypitcon a triple changer since I never really saw the base mode as being all that distinct from the battlemode. I was wrong about many things of course and I dont mind, but now I am curious. Hellscream made a smart statement saying he had a robot mode (the kaiju), an alt mode (the base) and a battle mode. And I can see that. But does that mean we dont really consider the battle mode as a second alt mode? You know like how Astrotrain has 2 alt modes and even how Titans Return Rewind has two alt modes, each with very distinctive parts (treads and a cannon turret for tank mode, screen and buttons for datapad mode). Do we see that as different from toys that have 3 modes but where one mode is just a mishmash of the other two? Like the gerwalk mode that Gen Whirl has. Its a third mode, sure, but is it a second alt mode? I dont see it as on the same footing as those called triple changers. Same with those Beast Wars toys like BBoom and Long Rack which have battle modes, or the Transmetal toys that all have a more "vehicle mode". Its just the alt mode rearranged a bit but not really another alt mode. At least thats how I see it. And thats how I see Trypticon here (and fort max, bothe TR and G1), not sure if I am the only one.

Trypticon's battle station mode has been retconned into a star ship (or whatever they're calling it) mode and his beast legs tuck away more than on the original so I would call it a distinctly different mode from his city mode. It's about as different as sticking a rotor and tail on a car and calling it a helicopter.



Real question is how will Hasbro screw this beautiful beast up for SDCC? I imagine all that purple will be chromed. I wonder if they'd include Brunt?

That aside, anyone else a little more excited about Octane now? Can't just be me that wants to stick these two together.

The difference between "mode" and "alternate mode" (aka Vehicle, Beast, Weapon etc.) isn't really clear-cut, is it? I guess the best thing to do is look at the function each form provides, as well as dedicated parts used. In the case of Trypticon, he has his primary mode, the "Dinosaur", and his main alternate mode, the "City" or "Base". The third mode is basically a more mobile configuration of the alternate mode with extra weapons attached, I guess for some it counts as a true alternate mode.

Haven't read every comment, but has anyone noticed that his ability to swallow smaller toys which can be seen through a translucent abdomen means Hasbro finally utilized the gimmick intended for the unproduced Inhumanoid Gaggoyle?

Before seeing the alt modes for Trypticon, I wasn't very excited for this release. I planned on picking him up, like all of the mass-market available Titans line, but only because I have skipped figures before and spent more than I should just a couple years later when completing some part of my collection became an itch I had to scratch.

I didn't really like Fort Max's alt modes as much as I had liked Generations Metroplex. I don't care for the most of the leader class Titans base modes (Soundwave and Blaster are decent, but I detest Optimus), and I wasn't expecting an interesting carrier or base mode for Trypticon, but these images actually impressed me. I leave 99% of my figures in robot mode to display them, but these alt modes are interesting enough to make me consider putting him on a shelf in carrier mode. Well done, Hasbro!

Think I see Arcee is the background, as well as Misfire. I can also see a Twintwist next to Topspin. Can't make out the other characters.

After all is said and done, once he's released be sure to buy Trypticon!

Thats cool, I didnt notice that but yeah, especially with that orange clear plastic at the baseof the tail replicating his eyes.

"Tail section" as in "the back of the spaceship", not the front end that becomes the dino mode's tail.

Sorry this is from several pages ago with the awesome news, but I wanted to configm that WJ88 read me right. I was thinking that the tail of Trypticon, which becomes the "snout" of the spaceship (pun intended here... ) generally looks like Trypt's head. I see his actual head at the back of the spaceship, but the tail ends up looking a bit like Trypticon's head because of those orange translucent pieces looking like his eyes. I just thought it was cool to point out.

Thanks Agamenmon, I think people just arent in the know of how well we can read eachother

Held off on commenting until I saw actual pics.

So my initial reaction was one of "meh" ... he looked like an up-scaled G1 figure.

Which to be perfectly honest, he still is, even his base mode isn't much different.

But then they added the spaceship mode. Which I thought, "hey, nice touch". And then I got to thinking, as a collector, I'm not likely to be changing him into his various modes very often. So really, he's just a really big monster thingy. He's still going to look good if I can find a spot for him, but still, he's just up-scaled ...

OH! They've made Full Tilt a Titan Master? Well ... yay>

hmmm ... this seems lazy.

Then they added "can eat Titan Masters". And that, that is a cool feature (over looking the fact that his arms are too short and if he bends down he'll probably topple over) and it gave me a good giggle. Here we have this giant toy, that can literally eat other toys. Finally, something original.

So while I am mostly not overly enthused ... I will be getting him, simply so I can feed him Titan Masters and have a really big monster looking thing sitting menacingly in my lounge room.

Starting to wonder whether or not Trypticon will warrant IDW advertising him or not. Yes, all three Titans so far have all had big advertisement arcs around them... but also consider that they were the only Titan of their toyline - or were at the time (Metroplex = Thrilling 30, Devastator = Combiner Wars, Fort Max = Titans Return). So the question for me becomes whether a new line warrants an advertisement arc, a Titan warrants one, or whether both can and they just happened to intersect before.

The original had that too, both toy and animation model. Always thought it was a nice touch.


I will admit his ship mode is a nice touch and looks good.

Just realized those purple stabilizers on his feet were on the show too. Another reason why this toy would have it even if it doesnt walk.

I'm just glad we're getting Trypticon and Octane at the same time.

What's the paint job on that G1 Trypticon from? A custom maybe?

And, love the Insecticons devouring Getaway.
