    With the popularity of Bakugan and BotBots seemingly doing well, HasTak should get in on this.

    52 Toys has slowly been rolling out figures that use more than one cube. A clever enough design team could do that to make Unicron.

    Bought. Also, one of these for Sky Lynx please?

    Hopefully this will help re-new interest in Tryp. I know it’s late to the game, but I’d love to see DNA do a kit for Titan Tryp like they’ve done for Scorpy.

    Yeah, I'll say I be liking these cube... thingymadoos. Personally I'd love a Metroplex, seems pretty reasonable. Makes sense with Trypticon anyway.

    Looking more closely at this cool little guy - I’d like to make a note/request to the Dr. Wu team:

    If possible, the figure would look better without a screw-hole in Trypticon’s head/snout. It’s always such a bummer on beast-sculpts when they have big holes in their heads (I’m looking at you SS86 Grimlock). If there’s time to do it, please try to avoid (or fill) the screw-hole in Trypticon’s head.

    Thanks :)

    Or we could request that they fix the problem before manufacturing? Seems like less work to be honest.

    I think he’s great, otherwise. But screw-holes are almost always an eyesore on beast-headed figures. It’s a problem we don’t normally have with regular bot heads, so I think designers forget sometimes with monster heads.

    We’ll be looking at Tryp’s head all the time, and if he’s got a big hole in it - then he doesn’t look as cool.

    I've been with BeastBox since the first wave of Raptors although I've not gotten every critter. I *will* be getting this one.

    DrWu loves their repaints, so will this get some? This would look stupid amounts of cool in their black&gray.

    This is an instant buy for me. Look at his big ol head!

    If they also do a tiny metroplex I’ll be so happy.
