    Does anyone else think that Titan Trypticon and Scorponok could end up sharing the same base mold?

    I've been thinking that a more modern version of Trypticon such as one based on his War for Cybertron self (big bulky body, huge arms and legs, relatively small head) could be remolded into a version of Scorponok (perhaps something like Maketoys Pandinus).

    In fact I also wouldn't be surprised if a future Titan Omega Supreme has some of the same parts as his two Decepticon poll rivals, especially if his base mode includes his tank and rocket components.

    I just want to see Full Tilt done as a Titanmaster which becomes his chest, just as Cerebros becomes Fort Max's head.

    I'm having a hard time seeing it.

    And while Fort Max shares some engineering with Metroplex, he might as well be an entirely new mold, considering how much is new tooling compared to what is not.

    How about no, Trypticon is a robotic dinosaur that turns into a city, Scorponok is a robot who turns into a scorpion and a city. They are too different to be remolds of each other.

    How exactly could the parts be shared? They are so vastly different. Its not like a Barbie where you just pop on a new head.

    Look at 3rd party Maketoys Pandinus (Scorponok). It started life as Trypticon and somewhere along the way it became Scorponok. If they just switch the head into a Dinosaur head, it can still pass as Trypticon.

    Knowing Hasbro, they'll probably remold it into Fort Max as well. "We know you guys voted for Trypticon, but you guys know that it doesn't mean you'll get a Dinosaur right?"

    Don't forget his battle station mode but ya I agree I doubt he would be remolded as Scorponok. Gigastorm obviously but not Scorponok. Damn I really wanted Scorponok first cuz I wanted an eventual Black Zarak curse you GPS!!!

    He doesn't even need to be a remold. All you'd need is a horn piece and a reprolabels set.

    The city/battle station mode for both Scorponok and Trypticon aren't dissimilar.

    Beyond that I'm not sure how you could make them work. My only thinking would be to develop the 'spine' first.

    That I didn't know. I just thought there were a lot of similarities between Pandinus and WOC Trypticon.

    Going by Generations Sandstorm/Springer and CW Ultra Magnus/TR Optimus I can see all three poll Titans having the same base design, especially if Hastak (the same folks who bought you Titan 'Head' Master Galvatron) 'update' it.

    I could see Scorponok being retooled from Trypticon, it would be about the same level as max from metroplex. The tail head and arms would be at least completely new.

    i see it. it'll be extensive retool but i can easily envision it. the major shared piece will be the core.

    This is the part of the movie where the hero takes off his sunglasses as he realizes whats really going on. Followed by :bay 

    Edit: I quoted Grahambo80's two posts but I guess Bay blew them up.

    I think we expected this with Metroplex to Fort Max but not Tryps to Skorpanok. I totally see it but the funny thing is I liked the Fort Max remold better and would prefer my dino stay a dino.

    But hey now I know he's a triple changer :thumb

    If Scorponok is coming, its hard to see any components recycled from previous molds.

    However they do Scorponok, I hope he will be the same height as Fort Max in bot mode and have both his city and Scorpion modes.
    I don't understand why nobody upsized Trypticon to be the same height as Metroplex yet.
