My biggest complaint is the scaling. Making it scaled to TMs is a cool idea, but it makes the "Citybots go with Legends" thing a bit more awkward (those doors are far too small for Legends) and he's still not big enough to not look a tad small next to CHUG scale (because a CHUG scale Trypticon would be the size of a person).
I dunno. I still want him though.

Person? Dude, try apartment Complex. Still better than the originals which were not very big at all.
Aside from Fort Max ofcourse.
This dude looks epic!!!

(The whole video is cool and makes me ever so nostalgic. Sorry, WJ88, you know I love all you news people, right? )
Is it just me or does the tail section look like Trypticon's snout in this image? Makes it look like Trypt's doing some mad yoga pose...

well that answers the next question I was going to have...While I cannot read Japanese very well, I noticed that spelling did not match the Japanese spelling of Wipe-Out (though I thought it could have been some variance like (Wipe-Auto)...

It looks like his neck swivels around, he lays on his back, and his legs and arms swing down on the hinges on the rear of his torso.

The Katakana does attempt to spell "Wipe-Out" phonetically. アウト is how they approximate the sound of the word "Out" ("a-u-to" as in "ah-oo-toh"). The English prefix "Auto" would be more like オート "Ōto".o.supreme wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The Titan Master's name is "Decepticon Necro". Wipe-Out is who he's a homage to.

The connector ramps are on the end of his leg sections

Dont know what you are insinuating, as you can see from the news post I just made I clearly pointed out that he has 3 modes. I am the one bringing the truth to the masses, no fake news here.

Thats cool, I didnt notice that but yeah, especially with that orange clear plastic at the baseof the tail replicating his eyes.
PS: I actually own G1 Trypticon and never knew he had a weapon platform mode. I also totally forgot G1 metro had a carrier mode, even though I knew the gen toy had 3 modes.

"Tail section" as in "the back of the spaceship", not the front end that becomes the dino mode's tail.william-james88 wrote:

TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS TITANS RETURN TRYPTICON Action Figure
(Ages 8 & up/Approx. Retail Price: $149.99/Available: Fall 2017)
The TRANSFORMERS battle explodes into uncharted territory when the TITANS RETURN! To control an ancient race of giant, city-sized warriors—TITANS—the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS must harness the power of TITAN MASTERS, smaller bots that give bigger bots enhanced abilities in battle. The ultimate Decepticon weapon is joining the Titans Return battle! Trypticon will destroy everything and devour everyone in his path. The Titan Class Trypticon figure is the largest figure in the 2017 Titans Return universe and is also the biggest Decepticon figure ever made. The towering T-Rex converts between 3 different modes: dino, spaceship, and city. When the figure is in city mode, it connects to Titans Return Leader Class figures (each sold separately) to form the giant Nemesis Command. When the figure is in T-Rex mode, it can “eat” Titan Master figures: Trypticon can chomp them down, then you can open his stomach to get them out. Comes with a Deluxe Class Full-Tilt figure and a Titan Master Decepticon Necro figure. Additional Titan Master figures are each sold separately, but with so many to collect, the Titans Return battlefield is a veritable all-you-can-eat bot buffet for Trypticon. Full-Tilt figure attaches to the Trypticon figure's chest. Titan Master figure becomes the head for the Full-Tilt figure and works with all Titans Return Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures (each sold separately). Also features a storage compartment in the figure's tail.

Yeah, he can eat figures and they will fall down into his transparent tail.

It both emulates a large cockpit canopy for the Sapceship Mode, and is the stomach in Dino Mode where the Titan Masters that Trypticon eats end up, so you can see them inside his belly when you pull them out of there.RiddlerJ wrote:Why is the ramp transparent?

The prongs on his feet are probably just to look more toy accurate even though they serve no purpose. The eating feature uses the space needed for a motor and batteries. Why does Devastator have to be the only Titan scale figure that is better than the original? No Brunt, no walking...I'll still buy it though.

Any walking gimmick would've seriously hindered the figure. You wouldn't be able to pose the legs at all.

It'll be $149.99, and hopefully (probably?) it'll be on sale for the holidays. I'm pretty sure both Metroplex and Fort Max could be found for $100-$120 during the holidays the year that each came out.

Depends on where you live. I live in a top 20 market in the United States, and never once saw a Metroplex in store, but FM is always at TRU when I go, yet its my understanding that in some countries, Fort Max is still not available...
I don't regret getting Fort Max, but jumping right on him to avoid the Metroplex debacle I realize I paid way too much. But as is with most cases, Hasbro tends to produce less Decepticons than Autobots, so my instincts tell me get this if/when I see it. I'd love to have the hindsight to know I could wait until next Nov/Dec and get it at a hugely discounted price, but unfortunately I don't.
What would be awesome is if Hasbro re-released Generations Metroplex (ya know, just to have 2 Titans on the market at the same time)...but I doubt that will happen. Even with new packaging, I would not care, just to get it at retail price would make me happy.

As long as you're in the U.S., both figures were widely available online, including at discounted prices.
