Multiple ways of attaching the two components? Like you can have the tank underneath (as shown) or on top (sort of Energon Megatron like). The connection point doesn't appear to be similar to the CW ports or something you could attach a TM to

 

The detail is good on that leg but the silhouette is hurting. It's the same width at the shin as at the thigh which gives it an emaciated/dumpy look. Takara/Hasbro should take a lesson from Perfect Effect's Leonidas. Trypticon always had a zoids feel to it and Leonidas has that same feel. This trypticon would benefit from that feel.

 

Good preview of Dinosaurer's leg. Hope Megazarak will follow soon.

 

FTFY

 

I always prefer the japanese names.

 

My only problem is the lack of proper toes on the foot, otherwise I appreciate the throw-back to g1 aesthetic like how they are doing with sixshot.

 

Is this the only panel?

 

Possibly most of the width in the leg is due to the fact that it looks like it may actually split apart for the city mode.

 

It does split apart, I believe there's a pic in this thread or the Trypticon fan vote thread. It implies the figure will basically have the G1 toy's base mode.

The leg looks fine to me.

 

Hey Trypticon, does that leg go all the way up???  


Seriously though, Hasbro does it go all the way up?

 

are those tshirt on for sale somewhere  

 

Is Trypticon going to have a motorised walking action? I hope not, but the 2 translucent plastic pieces coming from the side of the foot are usually for stabilisation on motorised walking toys. Like Zoids for example.

 

I seriously doubt it. Judging by his size, a motor would be prohibitive both from a cost and engineering perspective. The pieces you're referring too are also made of clear plastic (aka extremely brittle), and are much too small too support the rest of the figure. Add to that the fact that he has ankle tilts, and they're more than likely just for decoration as an homage to the original figure and cartoon model.

 

I was front row for this. Twas awesome!  

 

How's this for a super rough size comparison? *Assuming that TR Trypticon has the same body shape as the G1 toy but with more articulation and playpattern additions.

 

In additon, the leg spilts as part of the playset so you may even say it's illogical. I kind of want him to be motorised since I fear he will be too big and heavy for me to enjoy posing and moving him (makes me wonder how even children would handle this beast), but my top priority is the playset so I am willing to give up on this gimmick for it's perfection*-*. Also he will be cheaper that way as you mentioned above.

 

Do not forget the rules or remold/re use some parts/repaint. (Just like Metroplex to Fortress Max.)
The lamest Remold will be Gigastorm(which is beast war 2).
Maybe the designer already have ideas to turn a dinosaur into a scorpion involving remold parts.. Lol

As for Sixshots.
Quickswitch/Sixknights, Greatshots (hidden gem: Shadowmaru) are always great.
