I think it's just a coincidence. Just the act of separating the two pieces of Brunt will stress those tabs and will either wear away the clip(s) or break them completely.
I can't get the Battle Station/Nemesis config by friction to work, but neat find nonetheless for city mode. I tried it on my junker one for my twins and looks cool.
I wish it was designed to do that properly, because that does look cool, but if it's stressing the pegs to do it, then it's not intentional. And not something I'm gonna try. But well done on finding it.
Glad you dig it! The Nemesis placement may be wishful thinking on my part, but for me it just sort of twist/slips into place. I think a slight mod to allow it to clip into Full-tilt’s attach points there might help - but that would defeat the purpose of it being a no-mod solution. I’d usually agree on it being coincidence, but the more I look at it, the more I think it was abandoned or simply left unmentioned due to stress on the clips. That clip/peg fits perfectly where it needs to go for city-mode, and into a nonstandard sized hole in Tryp’s cravat - although I’m still baffled by Hasbro’s choice to not make that hole 5mm. It’s never sat right with me that Brunt was made - but his one real job, (sit on Tryp’s chest), was never addressed. If anything comes from this, I think I’d like to see a 3p remake of that half-dome piece with a less stress prone peg in the same diameter, and a little cut-out/tab section for it to rest in Full-tilt’s attach-point for Nemesis mode. That would pretty much solve all of Brunt’s integration issues with Trypticon for me
Well, a middle connector is very easy to make and will not interfer with any of the three modes: Heavy/Scratch: - Titans Return Trypticon custom upgrade
That’s lovely work. Tryp is so much fun to mess around with. Love the leg extensions. If the half-dome is slightly modded - then Brunt fully integrates with Trypticon in all modes, while needing no extra pieces. I’ve got a couple friends who sculpt in 3D, but they aren’t really toy people. I wonder if the mod-section would have anyone interested?
Maybe in an upgrade pack could be a nice set, I mean the connector for Brunt's tower mode, bigger towers/canons for Trypticon's back (I used the feet stabilizers but maybe something that don't need modifications), even the back thrusters on Nemesis mode (just finding a way to peg in because I glued it (an small piece), the thrusters are still removable but something even less "invasive").
Has anyone else had the ratchet in one of Trypticon's towers disintegrate? I recently moved mine and his tower completely flopped down.
back of the box, bottom underneath the white paragraph. It’s hard to find since it’s just indented into the cardboard.
After having no choice but to sell my entire collection 2 years ago in order to find an emergancy place to life in a very short period of time in order to aviod Homelessness, I got lucky enough to find a person who was selling this bad boy for $200.00. This will be my 3rd time owning this big mecha reptile.
Nemesis mode is so much more cool now w/ @Seeaich's meathod of integrating Siege Brunt into the Nemesis Mode.
