*Sees the winner is Trypticon*

*Sees release date is 2017*

Oh well... looking forward to this regardless.

Oh wait, they gave us a sneak peek:

Majin Zarak. ...is that the offspring of black Zarak and Devil Gundam (or Dark Gundam if you prefer)

so Titans return will be taking up a year and a half then? Makes sense I guess, that's how long Combiner Wars played out...or will play out. Sort of. Actually, there is only one more wave isnt there? so really Titan Wars is expected to last a pretty long time.

At least by waiting until 2017, they are giving the mold time to be developed properly. I want me a badass T-rex standing tall over my cons

All figures take about that long, since they didn't know who would win (assuming it wasn't 'rigged') then the most they could have prepared would be concept art, and basic designs at the most. Now that they know the general order of release, they can start work proper on all three of them in order.

Still gives them lots of time. It takes time to do these molds but at least they can get going and we can be more convinced they are going to try harder

LOL, Trypticommies.

If y'all are Tryticommies, I guess that makes me an Omega Supremecist.

I dunno ... with final production time they may only have six months to develop the figure. I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't got some work done on all three already.

Well, given that we will most likely get all 3 in the coming few years, they probably do have designs already, just a matter of which to implement first

Trypticommie

Omega supremacist


....Scorponockers? Maybe?

I voted Scorponok, What does that make me?.

Scorponok may of got my vote but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't ecstatic about getting a new Trypticon.

So I ask, who will it be in 2020...

I have absolutely no idea what or who this is, yet I cannot help but need it

Majin Zarak.

Pfft, Generations Grandus please. Every collection needs one.

Great, two years until colossal disappointment. I would have voted for Trypticon if I had any faith in Hasbro doing him right. I fully expect him to be 24" long instead of tall to make up for the chunky tail which would make him shorter than Metroplex. Just don't have faith in him being 24" tall and even longer from nose to tail.

On that same note I don't want an Omega Supreme that's taller than Devastator, but again I don't have faith in Hasbro. Scorpronok seemed like the hardest citybot to mess up so he got my vote (aside from being the best citybot )

Scorponok at worst would be another heavy retool of metroplex but as he may not hit us till 2019....

An idea for a crazy online exclusive: metroplex + trypticon + first aid + swindle + two different coloured transformation cogs accessories = The Ultimate Weapon gift set. You could probably achieve similar results with the other pairing.

Dammit, there it is: something you never knew you wanted but now that the idea is there you kinda do

Dang. I voted Scorponok. :/

It's great to see hope alive and strong amongst the masses.

Awesome! I can't wait to have this doing battle with Metroplex!

That's the Transformers fandom for you. No matter how much promise something shows, we instinctively (and sometimes collectively) shoot it down right away.

Moving on, I voted Scorponok. Toy-wise, I was torn between Trypticon and Scorponok, but I liked Scorpie's character more. However, Trypticon still looks INCREDIBLY cool. I'm not too worried about the tail, honestly. Some nice, tight ratchets and it'll be keen.

Nnnoooooooooo! I really wanted a Scorponok! Some people will really hate me for saying this, but I've never liked Trypticon. I've always liked Fortress Maximus and Scorponok ssssooooooo much more than Metroplex and Trypticon. Scorponok forever!!!

To be fair, that's what I've learned to expect from Hasbro. Especially in the last five years or so. Hasbro ten years ago, I'd expect epic awesomeness. Hasbro today...... Well, I'll be surprised if this doesn't turn out to be a lightly retooled and repainted Chomp 'n Stomp Grimlock.

The fan in me honestly hopes you guys get the Trypticon you want, but the realist in me doesn't think you will.

I get it though, if Omega had won, I'd be filling up with hope and wishes too.

Relax, we'll probably still going to get a scorponok but it just won't be for about half a decade probably not what you want to hear but hey, better then them saying that scorponok will never get made again

Yeah, that's true. I'm just gonna have to sit here and wait for Scorponok. I already have the Titan Metroplex anyway, so Trypticon will go well with him. I'm planning on getting Titan Fortress Maximus too, and my Combiner Wars Devastator is on it's way, so I'm pretty sure I'll be able to wait for Scorponok.
