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.

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 dress is white and gold. WHITE AND GOLD!!!

It's pretty impossible to discern, but here's the front of the box with a picture of the batteries.

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.

For those who missed him that is. A good opportunity.

Since we've been seeing a lot of 'cons lately, anyone hunkering for a Skyquake re-issue?

News Credits: 19 · by **Carnivius_Prime** » Tue May 26, 2015 3:20 am

Can see the appeal in Trypticon. He's kinda unique with the electronics and fun dino design in that size. Can't say the same for the coneheads. I thought they were junk even when I was a kid. Forgivable if it was one toy but there were 6 of the seeker types to collect back then. Nice plane modes though.

Awesome!

If only I had more money and more space...

News Credits: 19 · by **Stuartmaximus** » Tue May 26, 2015 4:57 am

From the pictures I've seen....it looks like Trypticon comes with all accessories including the connectors for Onslaught & Motormaster to expand in city mode

Yeah now that I'm on a PC I can see the Full Tilt gun. It's in the very top right of the box in front of one of the ramps

Is anyone gonna get this and use its city mode as a stage for the Knights of Unicron?

First off: Brilliant idea.

Secondly: The KOU set has been dipping in price of the eBayz...

You never got them off Lena? They were selling for about 25$ a piece I think, maybe missing some accessories. I am not fond of the molds and I saw them as simply novelty items so I never looked into them much.

It also helps that one of the touring locations that the KoU performed at was indeed "Trypicon Dinobase - Planet Chaar".

I've noticed that. Same with the SDCC Dinobot set. :-(

Unfortunately, I doubt the same will hold with SDCC Devastator.

I never saw Lena with all four, just a lot of Soundwave's and Jazz's. Besides, with a set like that you really need the big bitchin box :twisted:
