Millenium era Mechagodzilla basically. Made from the bones of the OG '54 Goji, the Japan government made it as a weapon to combat Godzilla. And it's codename was "Kiryu" which basically means "Silver Dragon" (Ki Ryū). Imo, it's the best MG design personally. Doesn't help that, for a little time, Gojira possessed the mech which caused a scary but awesome moment as it goes on a little rampage through Tokyo as it's eyes were blood red

 

Then again, pretty sure everyone was wanting an actually combining CV Volcanicus. Or a Tarn and Trypticon. Hasbro seriously doesn't know what money they're leaving on the table for this line.

 

Sludge is the best.

 

Cyberverse isn't the toyline for a combining figure of the calibur people want. Nor is it the line for a Titan figure. We'll probably get both down the road though, now that reception to these has been very good. And I wouldn't count out the *next* kids show getting a Tarn/Tryp. Mostly because Cyberverse leaned on the evergreen designs moreso than previous shows. So that style may be here to stay even if the show changes.

 

I do dig Trypticon\'s horn. Reminds me of Harryhausen\'s Ceratosaur.

 

I find it interesting that trypticon is using the merc logo. 

 

Well, he is a Mercenary in the show so

 

those dinobots are pretty happy!

I don't think I've ever seen them smile so much...

 

this version of mechagodzilla from the millennium era of Godzilla movies (1999-2004)

i think the designs look pretty similar enough to warrant a repaint of one of his figures, they did it with EVA unit 01, so maybe they can do it with trypticon. especially cause godzilla's 70th birthday and the 40th anniversary of the transformers falls on the same year

 

Good to know that Mecha Godzilla is making an appearance in Cyberverse, and how this was "designed", not copied!  

Godzilla is popular, ya? But I always saw Trypticon as a T-Rex, not a Kaiju-fighting government project!  

 

i mean, you have 2 giant, upright, mechanical dinosaur looking things based on either an outdated t-rex or a thing that is based on an outdated t-rex and there's gonna be heavy similarities
