Great nod to his Marvel Comics' origins.

They confirmed that Necro is based on Wipe-Out at Toy Fair. In fact a search for Necro on TFWiki (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Necro) redirects to Wipe-Out.

The Legends version isn't finished, they're just previewing things with the Hasbro version.

They're forcing the perspective a bit by having Metroplex leaning a sideways onto his right leg past Trypticon, but it looks alright. I'm sure the TT version won't have the green hands and have chromed feet.

The listed weapon is probably just Full-Tilt's gun. Catapult though, that's not something we've seen mentioned before. Brunt, maybe?

Oh, and as for the "will they or wont they" for the remaining Hasbro figures getting into Legends, let's not forget that TT also needs to start thinking about the new stuff coming from Power of the Primes. It's getting harder and harder to explain why everybody is a Headmaster, but the PotP stuff should bring us back to normal, less gimmick laden figures (partially anyway)

cant wait till they make scorpinok too. what a time to be a collector. all four city's the same size? what a set it will be.

I know what the catapult is and yes it is in the pictures - it's just like the original a ramp that tips up so a car slides down his tail ramp when in city mode. There is likely a lever on the back to activate it - you can see it as a panel full tilt is often sitting on in vehicle mode.

It even shows the car zipping down the ramp in one of the official photos - so that is an illustration of that feature.

Isn't that Takara's version of Metroflex?

I'm so sorry.

I wouldn't quite call the two just standing and looking at each other a "showdown".

It really wasnt that bad. The only one that sounded super odd was Silverbolt. And I would hve preffered Jon Bailey for Optimus but it wasnt bad either. I liked the idea of a stunticon combining with superion to ground him.

I know it was like that in the cartoon but being so used to the Marvel comic where while Metroplex was still gigantic, Trypticon was far smaller and they weren't rivals or even met. Come to think of it I'm not sure who the biggest Decepticon was in Marvel with both Tryppy and Scorponok being closer to normal TF sizes than the cartoon versions.

Wasn't Trypticon about three times the size of Grimlock with Scorponok being double his height at best, being on par with PM OP?

That picture of Trypticon versus Metroplex is an amazing example of perspective and how it affects scale. I'm fairly certain that Trypticon is at least a few inches shorter than Metroplex, but because of the angle of the camera and the fact that Trypticon is closer to the camera than Metroplex, plus the fact that Metroplex is bent at the knees a little, it makes them look like they're about the same height in this photo.

I don't need Trypticon to be the same height, just wanted to point this out to all of you so that you're not disappointed that Trypticon isn't the same height as Metroplex.

Based on the actual artwork, I've always assumed that Trypticon was about the same height as the Combiners. However, I personally just always assumed he was drawn out of scale and was actually meant to be giant sized like Metroplex still.

Though I guess even in the images I posted, Trypticon should technically be bigger because the Dinobots should be larger than the regular Autobots.

I'm putting my money on Trypticon as the biggest in the Marvel Transformers comics. Man I love those comics!
