    Doesn't really fit the Classics aesthetic, but still bad ass!

    The big cannon on the back and the decorative pieces do have more of a zoid vibe, but at least I hid or got rid of most of the movie bits and made it look like a robot.

    I truly hate the movie style.

    His arms seem oddly placed, but otherwise this is a really nice piece of work. Good stuff.

    Same placement as the toys original arms. However, that's for the thinner robot/dinosaur before Brunt is attached. Attaching the tank adds almost double the body girth. The arms go from reaching to not making it past brunt.

    This a great piece,man. Much props! Btw,although mildly entertaining,I am definitely not a fan of the movie versions of the TF's as well.

    I should rewire that post. Movie style works for some things, just not established characters. I sold most of my movie stuff, but keep Leader Starscream and Brawl with Voyager Shockwave and one or two others on a shelf with a classics/titanium The Fallen. Movie figures work great as demonic unicron spawns...just not anything else haha

    Had to get rid of the razor demon look for Trypticon though.

    Thanks guys. I can't wait until the ball really gets rolling on scorlonok to do a few titan battle royal pics with all of the titans on display. I picked up a RoTF Breached to be scorponoks fast track and finished all of the priming. As neat as Trypticon was to make...it's all about having a complete set haha

    One thing is bugging me. During the transition from the old custom to this one, a number of the rubber zoids stoppers were lost. you can see 2-3 missing on each side.

    I picked up a few smaller zoids sets at a flea market, hoping to replace the rubber, but they're too small. Gojulas Gigs is an expensive set for parts. Do any zoids collectors know what other/cheaper kits have those large gojulas gigs rubber plugs/caps/shoppers? They're solely for decoration, but it feels incomplete without the last couple.

    Thanks. My inspiration for this was the Leader sized Trypticon I made a few years ago. Lots of good ideas on it, but I grew as a customizer and wanted to improve it / build a new one worthy of Hasbros awesome metroplex - especially regarding scale.

    found two caps in my shop, so only the arms and legs are missing a cap each. The two holes on the head were filled. Still need to find four caps or make some kind of replacement. Even though Trypticon is done...I can't shake the minor stuff
