trypticon could have been release during combiner wars because metroplex was back in 2013 so we have a 3 year gap between metroplex and fortmax and now we get trypticon a year later! i know trypticon was a fan choice presented to us a short time ago but they could have started the poll 2 years ago
so now we have a headmasters toy line without on of its biggest stars i know we need trypticon too
i just wish we didn't have to wait until now when scorponok would be more appropriate
oh well :roll:

I can't see any reason why scorpy can't be released in 2018 or 2019
and still be a Headmaster under Prime Wars 3.0.

Actually perhaps he can have a double headmaster or one of those titanmaster exo-frame like designs for the smaller head to pilot.

-------

I wouldn't mind to see MP Soundwave released without the Cassettes they are so easy to get and cheap there is barely any point including them all unless they make them a different paint type like gloss instead of metallic or metallic instead of gloss. I hear he's getting an overscale KO so I may just go with that.

-------

I wonder if Takara will skip Sixshot and go straight to Six Knight instead ?

2014 was the only year without its own Titan, as that was because Hasbro was then still needing to see how successful Metroplex would be before they could proceed with making more than one Titan, and then they started working on their second Titan, with their needing time to work on it requiring it to come out during 2015, which resulted in Devastator being the 2015 Titan. And now Fort Max is the 2016 Titan, and with Trypticon winning the poll to be the 2017 Titan.

Ultra Markus wrote:i know trypticon was a fan choice presented to us a short time ago but they could have started the poll 2 years ago
Except that two years ago was around the time when the brand team changed from Aaron Archer's team to John Warden's team. The team from back then likely had no involvement in the fan poll that was cooked up by the current team.

Why would they? Sixshot was an important character in The Headmasters cartoon, whose story ended on a note of his beginning a new starting point in his life. He's practically begging to have the next step in his life's story told, and Takara' Legends line would be the perfect opportunity for them to do just that.

By comparison, Sixknight, while cool in his own right, was more like a footnote when compared to Sixshot's prominence, as Sixknight only appeared in four episodes of Masterforce, with one of those being him appearing just so he could be brutally murdered by the Devil Zed-possessed BlackZarak.

Agreed. I would love this too, but I think they are going to keep him with a traditional base mode in this case. Would be nice if there was a way to fan-mode it after. I'd love something with the Nemesis, like a scale replica like they did with the Ark.

Its a guarantee thats what they will do. That leg section transforms like the G1 version by splitting up. And along with what we have seen, this confirms to be an upscale of the G1 figure with modernized engineering.

That doesn't make it terrible though. I mean it'll be nice to see a large-scale version of that with the modern engineering behind it. I just worry about price point at that. Take Hasbro's AT-ACT walker from Star Wars Rogue One being like MSRP: $300.00 or so. I hope Trypticon is not that much as the after market will probably be like if you bought a nice used car.

In Beast Wars: Uprising, Trypticon instead got reconfigured into the Dinosaur, with his city mode given the name "Dinosaur City".

Part of the strategy of Hasbro recouping their costs is to actually sell them, so the price cant be outrageous. I highly doubt it will be anywhere near 200$. I would say more along the lines of 150-170.

Having this fan poll to begin with was a mistake. Maybe if we were still in that weird grab bag of everything that we were in a few years ago it would've been fine but we're not. We have themes for each year now. We're in a headmaster themed year and I don't see how Trypticon fits in with that. If the rumors of the next theme being beast themed are true then this was a huge screw up. We could've gotten Scorponok, a beast AND headmaster the year before as a transition instead of Trypticon, a beast and not much else, in a headmaster centric line. Pretty much the only thing Trypticon has to do with the current line is he's compatible with the titan master. Big whoop. I'd rather had another fan poll character made up for this line than them trust us with picking the character most fit for titans return year 2. We literally pick the least fit character for it. Omega Supreme would've been better cause at least he was a headmaster at one point. Don't get me wrong, I wanted a titan class Trypticon as much as anyone else, but not at the cost of Scorponok.

End of rant.

Motto: "The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."
Here I have a rather silly thought: what if they limit the Titan Master to whatever partner (Brunt or Full-Tilt) Trypticon comes with?

Or even better: just don't do the gimmick at all? I highly doubt Trypticon would have been part of the poll for a Titan Wars themed Titan if they didn't already have thrown ideas around for Titan Master integration. Besides, didn't the poll just say "Next Titan" without any mention of the gimmick?
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

I thought the way the gimmick integrated was not with the titan being a headmaster but rather the fact that the base mold can acomodate titan masters and have interaction points with them. That seems to be what the heads of the brand were saying at their nycc panel.

what if they dont include either brunt or fultilt at all, all we got with metroplex was scamper and one big red gun no slammer or sixgun and fortmax with no grommit and gasket i think its possible they wont include but maybe one extra :-?
