    IMO this change is unnecessary because it is simply a change just to fit into the play-pattern and kids would not miss a thing when they have other HMs.

    Afterburner...yeah, well said. I recall reading on another board that one poster asking the design team at this year's SDCC about how does the HM in TR work at SDCC 2016...are the HM figures part of the Transformer or the larger bodies just 'weapons' - like the differences between USA G1 Headmasters vs Japan G1 Headmasters.

    If I recall correctly, the design team didn't know how to answer the question!

    I hope I that wasn't the case because we now have designers who seemingly design TFs just to fit into the play pattern...leading to lost sales to nostalgia collectors like me.

    Yeah, you sum up how I feel...if HasTak release a Galvatron with a head stored inside his chest, I'll get it or a 3P release a head if it comes out first enough.

    IMO today's kids won't know or can't be bothered with the difference whether Galvatron is a HM or now. I know a 'couple' of older collectors who also skipped TR Galvatron too.

    Yup, it is the most troublesome gimmick...lose the figure and one has an incomplete figure.

    Basically the summation of my thoughts and feelings on this year's gimmick. I could have tolerated the HM gimmick if they had used the other 'masters'. Oh well, I guess I'll save my wallet on this line.

    I would love to see a Titan Return Scorponok,at least Fort Max will have his nemesis Decepticon back in this Titan Return toy line.

    Oh, Thank you^^! You can make the Dino titan masters as Trypticon minions! They will be cute and deadly:tongue: .

    Indeed, and what an aggressive marketing did transformers had...Hasbro:" Let's take advantage of the fact transfomers are robots, kill all the favorite characters and sell new toys, MUAHAHA!". This why I don't take Transfomres story seriously (maybe also because I wasn't even born yet) and just care about the toys and as long as the toys are well made and fun, I'm happy with that. Generally, I buy toys because I like them as toys for themselves and if they happen to be characters that I like that's great, though sometimes it's more fun to have toys I can be more imaginative with and not bound to certain story/character.

    I agree, while I still collect adult collector toys from time to time, I came to the conclusion that playline toys are superior. They my not have as much as articulation and details as adult collector toys, but they're cheaper, sturdier and actually made to be played with! Playline toys are the true toys! This why I also find it weird when adult collectors say they get very strong nostalgic feeling from adult collector toys, all the idea of our beloved childhood toys is that they were available to us and we all have that memory of seeing them on toy stores shelves.

    Me too, there isn't enough playsets' toys these days:( ...

    I hope they make Trypticon, Scorponok, AND Omega Supreme! And then remake Unicron BIGGER!

    BTW, I can never remember how to spell Scorponok/Skorponok. They spelled 2 different ways from G1 and then in Energon and I forget which is the c and which is the k.

    Or more likely, they didn't give one answer or another because it's up to you to decide. If you have Fortress Maximus you can pretend all the Masters are normal sized Transformers scaled to Max's size with titanic headless robots that turn into vehicles. If you don't, you can pretend they're human sized robots that attach to giant bodies. You can even pretend they're humans! This is one of the most open concept Transformers lines in a long time, and the only cost for it is some partsforming. They even have ball-jointed necks!

    I believe Hasbro refers to the consistent gimmick within a line aso a 'play pattern'. If it's not that, it's something similar. Since toys are ultimate aimed at kids, shocker I know, this encourages kids are excited by every toy in the line since the gimmick is in all characters.

    They could maintain the titans gimmick in Trypticon if they wanted, but keep in mind there's a handful of them. Headmasters, triple changers, base modes....

    Even if Tryps isn't a headmaster, he'd still fit into Titans Return by having the triple change functionality as well as a base mode that could connect to other Titans bases (and provide compatibility ports for Legends figure and accessories).

    And, at a later date, Scorponok could go back into the headmaster gimmick while Omega Supreme may work with something like a Duocon/Super Robot type theme.

    For the Titan Master compatibility part, maybe they could make Full-Tilt into a Deluxe akin to Cerebros. Then Full-Tilt is docked as the chestplate, the Titan can go into a cockpit in the translucent part between the eyes or maybe even merge with the horn.

    The theoretical Titan should be named Garotte (a dark twist on Brad Garrett, Trypticon's original voice actor).

    Has anyone tried to guess the height based on the prototype leg images we have seen.
