    What is your opinioon considering the height of Scorponok/Trypticon? Do they have to be the same size as the other Titans Fort Max and Metroplex? Should they be? Or should they have a similar height to CW Devastator? Maybe somewhere in between.

    I am of the opinion that 24" is too tall for Scorponok/Trypticon. I think they should have a similar height to Devastator. Maybe slightly taller or shorter given the circumstance. I don't think every Titan should be a standard height. I also think that these two would benefit from a shorter appearance in toy mode. I think it fits better with their persona.

    What say you?

    Scorponok should be slightly shorter than Fort Max., 1-2" maybe but he should be bulkier.
    Trypticon could be shorter than Metroplex in Dino/bot mode and if there was enough articulation in his tail he could up stand close to the same height as Metroplex.

    Not sure what they'll do, I'm thinking there'll be a somewhat shared mold or architecture for the two.

    A Trypticon that was the same height as Metroplex would be way way bigger. Metro is really thin from the side. Trypticon would have a lot of length to him.

    To be honest, I'd want Trypticon to be 22"-24" tall. Don't have both in front of me at the moment, but thought the G1 toy versions were roughly the same height.

    My BIGGEST want from Trypticon: a built-in mechanism that allows for CW Motormaster or Onslaught to combine to Trypticon in some sort of "extended" base mode. I always thought the fact that they didn't design the limb-bots to have a "fold-out" 5mm peg to combine w/ Metroplex, was a disappointment. I thought it would've been GREAT if the CW Protectobots could have connected to Metro in some form of G1-homage.

    Obviously, since the Generations Titanclass toys are mostly inspired by the cartoon incarnations.

    Those two aren't interchangeable, so I can't vote. Trypticon, yes. Scorponok? I'd be happier with a Leader Class.

    Trypticon could be a bit shorter to accommodate his tail and bulk. I'd love Scorponok to be a double headmaster at 2 feet tall, though. I know it's not G1 accurate, but I prefer that to some giant faceplate thing a smaller headmaster goes into. Name the smallest head Zarak, then name the medium sized head Megazarak. Boom

    I want all 4 to look equal in height. Omega Supreme however, should be equal to Devastator

    That's exactly what I'm expecting to be honest.


    There's gonna be a lot of p*ssed off folks if Trypty turns out to be 18 inches tall and 24 inches from top of head to the tip of his tail. :lol

    Scorponok should be the same size as Fort Max.

    I don't really care about Trypticon.

    Considering the differing shapes/forms involved a T-Rex shaped Titan would likely blow the price point if it was "as tall" as Metroplex and Max simply for the bulk involved.

    Not to say I don't want a Tryp as big as Plex but I'm not going to get hopes too high for that.

    And Scorpy can be the same as TW Devy, I'm fine with him being smaller (while still pretty massive and bulky) than Plex. That's how he has been in most iterations and even the original toy.

    Definitely want Trypticon the same size as Metroplex (even if he's a little shorter due to his stance). I'm ok with Scorponok being shorter.

    I'm okay with Trypticon being a little shorter as long as his mass is the same or more. Scorpanok I'd expect to be the same size. You could take Metroplex's basic design and retool all the detaling into Scorpanok. I think that would work.

    Considering the difference in modes of how Metro/Fort Max are humanoid types while Trypticon (not Skorponok) is a dinosaur type I would expect Trypticon to be slightly shorter at around 18" tall to make up the difference with his tail portion.But overall I think Tryp would equal 24" in length just not height.

    If fort max is made same size as plex, then scorponok by default should match. Don't care for trypticon lol.

    About the same size as Metroplex would be fine, but not necessarily the same "height". If possible, I'd display Trypticon in dino mode with his tail sticking straight out and his head down like modern T-rex portrayals, instead of the old tri-pod stance that dinosaurs and non-humanoid kaiju used to get shown in.
