    I'd wager 2 feet tall, like the other "city-sized" Titans, Metroplex and Max.

    I hope we see more of this guy fairly soon. My Metroplex eagerly awaits his rival.

    I'm expecting more Devastator sized height wise but with the same amount of mass made up for by being chunkier and having a tail.

    I expect he'll be more like 2' nose-to-tail, but more along the lines of Devastators height.

    Yeah, accounting for his more squat posture...still, I can't wait to see the full reveal.

    I rather hope they find a way to make him at least approximatly Fort Mas size head to feet.
    I'm affraid he will look very underwhelming otherwise.

    The rumours we heard suggest he's two foot long, head to tail, but not as tall as Metroplex due to posture

    I think he'll be fine. If he's two feet tall, he'll have a ton more plastic than Metroplex/Fort Max - unless he's thinner than I think he'll be. From the look of those legs, he'll be thick and his base mode will sprawl appropriately

    I hate to be a Negative Nancy but if he stood as tall as Metroplex even with the Godzilla like stance you would probably have so much more plastic to him it would be a minimum $200... which I would gladly pay. The only saving grace would be the minature arms that tryp typically has, though I kinda wish they would give him larger ones to make him more intimidating. All we know for sure is that metrolplex had mostly hollow legs and trypticon can't as much due to the fact they unfold for base mode differently.

    Count me in for godzilla arms instead of t-rex arms.
    The only thing i can think of for them to make him a similar size is by making him slimmer looking from the front.

    That's my main concern. Unless his torso is really hollow, I don't see how they can make Tryipticon the same height as Metroplex. Maybe a hollow torso would lend itself to being used as jail cells or a command center of some type?

    But yes, I'd gladly pay $200 for Trypticon to make him the proper height.

    I'd even take a 20-inch version, just a hair short of two feet but still impressively large.

    Granted, Titans aren't 100% accurate to scale with the other CHUG toys, but if they were any bigger, the price would skyrocket.
