Yeah, TT Armada Shockwave would be an amazing titan figure =P~

He was a pretty memorable boss in the Armada video game.

He was pretty memorable in the show, especially when he was finally revealed :michaelbay:

I don't want to get sidetracked on mass-shifting in Transformers. But...when it does happen, its usually to make any given character more powerful. I never understood why/how Tidal Wave (who initially appeared to be "titan" size) ended up being parts for Megatron? :???:

As stated earlier, I don't think its so much a matter of popularity, its just that the fans like what is unique, and what makes sense. In this case, it would have to be Trypticon. I would like a new Omega Supreme, but I would rather have him be scaled to the size of Combiner Wars Devastator. Then perhaps in 2 years, a Titan Scorponok.

I don't really have much of a dog in this hunt as I have no real attachment to any of these guys. I do like how they are all bots with base modes though.

I'm hoping for Ortega Supreme, cause I wouldn't mind having a jumbo sized version in my collection.

by **Grahf_** » Fri Nov 20, 2015 5:10 pm

I want a Trypticon most of all other than Tidal Wave lol.

However, Trypticon really doesn't have any redeco/retool potential. I don't know if that really matters with the titan class as it does with the other size classes though. I know it's a fan vote but Hasbro can still do whatever they want regardless of the actual voting outcome.

But yeah, nobot of those three is in need of a new toy more than Trypticon. Especially when you factor in Metroplex having already been made. Then Scorponok, even though he's less deserving of a new toy than Omega Supreme. However with Fortress Maximus being made it makes sense. Omega Supreme would be my third choice. If only to slow down on the Autobot titan class figures. I would like him to be about the same height as Devastator though like others have said. Although, I'd rather see Raiden to go up against Devastator than I would Omega Supreme.

You know what, I vote for Raiden instead.

I'm definitely voting Scorponok, because he fits with the theme, he's so much cooler than the other two in my opinion, and Fortress Maximus needs hius nemesis coming out the year right after him.

If is going to be as tall as metroplex... tripticon!!!

If smaller, omega supreme.

by **Ultra Markus** » Fri Nov 20, 2015 6:43 pm

i think a decepticon should be next i dont care which one! Omega supreme doesnt need to be that big
maybe leader class or even supreme class if they still do that size

yeah then tidalwave got upgraded in energon he was smaller :BANG_HEAD:

I think Trypticon would honestly be the best figure to get. We haven't had a G1 inspired variant of him in the toys recently. Scorponok we got from collector's club last year in his G1 deco, and Omega Supreme we get lot's of variations of him (although most of them using the Energon mold). I think Trypticon would give us the most in a figure we haven't seen in a long time.

by **Mechastrike** » Fri Nov 20, 2015 8:00 pm

TRYPTICON! we need him for a Decpticon Earth base and to fight off Metroplex (2013).

Instead of voting on out-of-context attributes to create a new character who may or may not be popular (or useful to IDW), voting for existing fan favorites to get toys seems like an easy crowd pleaser.

They should do this several times a year, provided runners-up get to re-compete later. (However, I think we all know who would win the "Next Combiner Team Vote" right now.)

Yep.

SEACONS

Yep.

PREDAKING

Yep.

COMPUTRON. (We already have one out of the five.)

Yep.

Big Rescue Force

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Big_Rescue_Force

Yep. Mighty Vehicle

Or how about RAIL RACER?

Oh, man, I would love to see Tidal Wave resurface (pun not intended) and take his place with the big boys. It'll never happen, but a man can dream.

Mindmaster wrote:I want all three, but realistically that ain't happening.

If I had Metroplex, I'd say Trypticon, but seeing as I don't, my vote's going to Scorponok. It's an obvious addition, a) because of the theme, and b) because Fortress Maximus needs his sparring partner.

I'm going to be extremely disappointed if Omega Supreme gets it... Get Scorponok and Trypticon out of the way first, then move on to Omega Supreme.

Well, at one a year, I don't see why we won't be getting all three; there aren't a ton of options for this size class and the rate at which they are released seems really conducive to doing an extended line of them.

Well wasn't there something about hasbro doing a titan class figure every year till 2019 so that makes it easy assume that probably depending on the votes would be the order we would get the characters I can see takara doing the proper repaints of the molds

News Credits: 439 · by **Sabrblade** » Fri Nov 20, 2015 11:31 pm

So, our choices are either Titan Metroplex's rival, Titan Devastator's rival, or Titan Fort Max's rival?

Meh, I ain't voting anyway.

News Credits: 19 · by **Carnivius_Prime** » Sat Nov 21, 2015 2:58 am

Scorponok. He needs a decent new figure (and no that Energon toy with the awful goofy proportions won't do) and he's the best actual character out of the three.

I think along the same lines.

Scorponok - Black Zarak
Omega Supreme - Omega Sentinal
Trypticon - ?

I don't trust these fan votes for a second. There's no doubt they already have something in the works, these fan votes are just a marketing stunt to make it look like they're listening and engaging the fans.

But weren't they pretty much identical :???:

It'd be cool if they reinvented the character a little and gave him a different deco, like all black, or deep purple.

It's just cool that each of the suggestions are the sworn enemy of 1 of the 3 Titans that have been announced/released. Whatever gets released, there's someone to put them next to.

Still...

TEAM TRYPTICON

What'd they do, add a horn? That was about it.

Then again, with Fortress Maximus coming, that's two possible repaints, so they could make up the money that way.

To be fair, we still haven't had a repaint of Metroplex or Devastator yet. Not even Takra has made Metrotitan and there hasn't been news of a G2 Devy (yet). If this poll is predetermined then my bets on Omega just going of the comics right now. My votes still on Scorponok. I need him to go with Powermaster Optimus so they can fight Unicron!

I can't imagine hasbro won't be doing a G2 (either or both variants: orange and yellow) at some point; if not as a retail release - b/c that may be risky financially - then as a sdcc exclusive next year; they're doing most of the others already...
