San Diego Comic Con has started on up! After the reveal of the 3A Optimus Prime, we bring to you something more generations related. Set up right outside the Hasbro booth is a large art piece featuring none other than the fan-voted Titan himself, Trypticon! Trypticon I seen staring over his shoulder at us puny humans, ready to blast us to bits. What does this mean for the Trypticon figure coming up? Will we get anything for that from Comic Con? Check out the images below, and sound off in the comment section below!

Trypticon?! That's awesome news. I just wish I had a Metroplex to go against him :-?

Looks nice, but I still wish we could have gotten a toy for WFC Trypticon. Maybe around the size of a Unicron Trilogy Supreme class figure, to put him on equal terms with Platinum Edition Omega Supreme (and Planet X Genesis). That design, and character, was a BEAST!

But, seeing as how reveals and such are surely coming, maybe there is some Trypticon news coming, such as design sketches or something like that. Or even confirmation of if Trypt will be a titanmaster or not

I'm sure he'll get revealed in some way. I was thinking the same, I kinda hope the Dino head isn't a Titan master but if it is I'm sure it'll be pretty cool. Be really awesome if he just came with like 6 generic tiny Titan master heads as accessories.

Looking at the Tryp vs Max art, one can make out PMOP, Sentinel Prime, Astrotrain, and a jet that looks like Starscream.

Yeah, I'm glad that game's art is being used for something. Especially one as awesome as the "Monstrosity" event Trypticon. Good use of existing assets, Hasbro. ;)^

Wouldn't that mean that the upcoming figure is, at least, similar to the art? It'd be a little silly if he looked nothing like the big display they have set up.

I am curious how they will do a figure that's a tall as Metroplex while having Trypticon's bodyshape. That's a lot of plastic. I have a bad feeling he's going to be smaller (maybe Devastator's height)

Considering that they used the legends art for all of the cw releases (where relevant) I'd say, not neccesarily, and hopefully not at any rate, if they go that G1, I'm out >:oP

The Decepticons look awesome as always. Planning on getting some but I'm unsure about Soundwave. Though I have nothing against the figure it's just that I have a lot of Soundwaves already.

Pass on all of these. I do like Mindwipe's bat head but the rest of the toy doesn't work for me. I'd only get Wirewolf if I found him cheap cos the wolf mode disappoints me. Pass on Soundwave cos he's too big and I'm so sick of him and Blaster sharing molds. And his minions just look crappy. Astrotrain is the best one here and looks a lot better than Sentinel so if I was to buy that mold I'd definitely go with Astro.

Don't worry mate, he's getting a new toy. Hasbro put out a poll asking which should be the next character to get the Titan Class treatment; Trypticon won.

They've shared molds twice...in 30 years. Fall of cybertron and the cybertron Soundwave mold...just twice.

Not as wowed as I had hoped to be, and not sure I'm excited by the G1y retool of the truck cab.
Color layout looks really nice though.
Are they overlooking the city mode?

For me, Soundwave, Alpha Trion, and Astrotrain are the big standouts. I'm not that into any of the deluxe figures. Probably because I don't really know any of them. :???:

What series are these characters coming from? Keep in mind I've only seen G1 up through the movie

I don't think they are. They're the same in the prototype and when was the last time we saw anything mistransformed by Takara. Official or prototype.

Probably is for God bomber MAYBE but since the Yen is up I am not spending $80-90 on a leader class.

The rest does look lovely though

It's just a couple pictures. I'm sure we'll see some city mode picture from TFYUKI once it gets closer to release. They just released city mode pics of skull cruncher and Galvatron and they don't even have city modes

I can totally see this getting a Platinum release eventually. Won't hold out hope but I imagine hasbro seeing this and saying "yeah we should find a way to put this out somehow in a year or two. They've done that before.

Thanks.

To transform him that way, basically, put him in cannon mode but don't rotate the panels the arms are attached to. Leave them as they'd be in robot mode. Fold the forearms up to the shoulders. Move the cockpit down a bit to act as a handle.

Fairly simple, but looks good.

They have done that with all of combiner wars

Drag Strip didnt look like his art:

So taht iamge means absolutely nothing. Plus the Trypticon foam prototype was already revealed to the press a while back so we know its coming and its a new toy. But there werent any pics allowed.

Also everyone, Blurr is now officially a headmaster in the Japanese G1 cannon. So there, its real and there's a toy of it.

I personally dont think this changes anything, but if anyone complains again that he was never a headmaster, thats no longer true.

I mean, I think the point is that he was never a headmaster before and it's not replicating something they remember. Of course they're gonna make some fiction to show him becoming a headmaster; that's part of marketing.

Not saying I agree, I'm fine with and actually like Blurr being a headmaster; but I don't think this is a valid argument.

People asked if there would be fiction supporting this. Hasbro said not necessarily and people didnt like that because it made even less sense to change the toys (even though its the other dam way aound). But now there is from Takara. So you get the best of both worlds. You get fiction which supports the new toy and at the same time they dont have to change anything in MTMTE.

While we had several images of the second wave of Titans Return toys at SDCC's Preview Night, we now have a few more featuring Apha Trion. What is fun is that you can see all his three modes in one fell swoop: The Majestic Robot, the Horned Lion and the Cybertronian Cruiser.

Do you think he has it in him to be one of the best triple changers of all time? Maybe top 5? Is that even a hard feat? Let us know!

The characters seem to be remembering how those two came from the Legends Universe into the cartoon universe, and thus take inspiration from their coming to the cartoon universe to go get new bodies in the Legends Universe.

The two aren't in the comic themselves. That's just a thought bubble of the other characters remembering those two.

People demand an explanation for everything and get pissy when a toy doesn't have fiction, or has a new feather they they haven't had before. "Why is blur a headmaster? Why is Galvatron? Sky Lynx never combined before I need to know why they're doing this"

What happened to people having an imagination?

I was kinda thinking the same thing. I love the comics and the old cartoon. Great stories, great fiction. But with my toys, I totally make up reasons for a toy to be the way it is. I don't know why all the "It's not in the fiction, so I can't like and/or accept it!!!" thoughts.

Make up your own story. Stop worrying. It's a toy with a head. You'll feel better.

I think it's more the idea that they're getting a new, re-invented version of the character first rather than a representation of what they had as a kid - which, considering Generations literally being a redone G1 line at this point, is what would be the main draw.

Again though, personally I like Blurr and the like being headmasters as it adds play value, and I like Sky Reign because Sky Reign is awesome. My only problem comes when the new gimmick takes away in some fashion, like with the now-infamous Galvatron Headmaster Crown.

People deman an explanation for everything and get pissy when a toy doesn't have fiction. "Why is blur a headmaster? Why is Galvatron? Sky Lynx never combined before I need to know why they're doing this"

What happened to p pole having an imagination?

I was kinda thinking the same thing. I love the comics and the old cartoon. Great stories, great fiction. But with my toys, I totally make up reasons for a toy to be the way it is. I don't know why all the "It's not in the fiction, so I can't like and/or accept it!!!" thoughts.

Make up your own story. Stop worrying. It's a toy with a head. You'll feel better.

I agree with both of you, hence why I dont feel this comic changes anything for me in the least. I love my toys and they can be whatever I choose them to be
