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 )

It's great to see hope alive and strong amongst the masses.
So toys from 8 years ago are evidence that a toy 2 years from now will be improperly scaled? That's pretty weak (and unconvincing) tea, given everything that's happened between Universe 2.0 Powerglide/Galvatron and now.Emerje wrote:Hasbro doesn't exactly have a great track record when it comes to making things in the right scale. Ultra Powerglide? Deluxe Galvatron? Masterpiece Grimlock (OK, that one's on Takara). I want Trypticon to actually be 24" tall, not just 24" long, and Omega to be 18" tall to go with Devastator, I don't think that's asking a lot and maybe Hasbro will come through, but I'm just not that optimistic.
Asking for Trypticon to be scaled properly is a different gripe than asking for repaints, isn't it?Emerje wrote:And I'm sure we'll get that Gigastorm right after that Metro Titan we never got.

10 years ago, we didn't even have Classics. It was the waning days of Cybertron. I'd pick the toys of today over the toys of yesteryear any day.Ironhidensh wrote:To be fair, that's what I've learned to expect from Hasbro. Especially in the last five years or so.

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.

If anything, the advent of Generations generally, the release of Metroplex, and Combiner Wars (mold fatigue aside) should give folks plenty of confidence that Hasbro has the ability to deliver, and more than that, that they iare likely to do so.Asking for Trypticon to be scaled properly is a different gripe than asking for repaints, isn't it?Emerje wrote:And I'm sure we'll get that Gigastorm right after that Metro Titan we never got.

If anything, I'd imagine a partsformer like Omega to be much harder to execute. Which was harder to design, Metroplex, or Devastator? The question is irrelevant, because both turned out fine. So why all the hysterics now?

Yeah, yeah....doubt they'll miss it.
Anyway 2017 can't come soon enough! Seriously why do we have to wait so darn long. Most would rather See Trypticon instead of that Fort Max retool.

Be happy it is taking so long. That means a better chance of you trip fan boys getting a actual original/new mold, and not a cheap repaint.

Chomp n' Stomp jokes aside, the notion that Trypticon would be a retool is ludicrous.
