And a few more quick ones:

The wheeled vehicle mode is pretty nice, wheels do make it spin better than expected.


For flying mode, I saw some similar, but this is the way that I find the most appealing, it has that majestic space cruiser feel to it:


And got to have a few dino mode ones:

Even this tiny little car looks wonderful:

 

SWEET, got mine today! matches up really GREAT with SG grimlock!!!  

looking forward to getting the dark one as well.  

 

Y'all are not making the wait any easier!  

Hopefully my lil Tryp makes it out from the airport sometime soon, tho it's just been sitting there since Saturday. .^.

Your photos are an excellent demonstration of ED's posability, and I love seeing Tryps get down!  

Now, I gotta know if the second pic is a reference to that time Godzilla did a Flying/Rider Kick~



And, now I've got myself imagining an Anno directed crossover where Godzilla is a Kamen Rider!  

I love the Flying Fortress mode! It's certainly more dynamic than the more compact cruiser mode, though I think that still could have its use as a kind of super hovercraft, perhaps.

And, indeed, I thought very little of Fulltilt when I presumed that they were just a blank slat of purple plastic underneath, but I did a 180 on that when I learned that they have a bot mode, too.

So, I'm looking forward to what buddies might come with an eventual Metrotitan or Necrotitan, someday.

 

You got it! Yeah, it references that. The last one is also a reference to this:

A godzilla in a Kamen Rider suit is a fun idea. Mha has a small godzilla who's about building sized. Imagine him just dressed in a Rider suit or something lol

 

Oh, no! A reason to watch My Hero Academia!

I mean, I love a lot of Bones shows, but namely their more mecha ones, like Rahxephon, Eureka Seven, Bounen no Xam'd, Space Dandy, and, quite relevant to this moment, Godzilla: Singular Point, with Mars Daybreak, Scrapped Princes, Star Driver and Captain Earth being interesting but harder to recommend.

But, MHA is quite a time commitment to get on board at this point!

 

Don't have to. It was a one off Easter egg for a movie. They did have a funny reference in their vigilante spin off manga, where two brothers had the quirk of turning into grasshopper theme superhuman, looking a lot like ichigo. One got their quirk mutated and turned into a literal grasshopper monster

I decided to treat trypticon like a dog

 

oh we're doing godzilla references??? okay!!!  

 

LOVE IT!

And damn it, I was actually thinking the exact same thing but time wasn't on my side as I was going to do a whole comic page with that idea of having him being Megatron's dog that would be biting the Autobot's butts non stop.

 

is there only supposed to be one instruction sheet included, or is there a second? the single sheet i got has no instructions for getting it in/out of a cube.

also one of my cannons won't stay locked in when pushed down and keeps springing back out, but the other works fine.  

 

Just one showing from dino to vehicle and back. Just look in this thread for images of box mode, it's simple enough.

And the spring loaded cannons are a pain, I had to play for a bit to get both to click in place.

 

thx, usually i don't bother with the instruction sheet and just go straight to a video. but there wasn't any on YT. i got stuck trying to figure out how to get the hip in the correct location, and wasn't seeing how it was supposed to move there. it didn't slide over and was worried i'd break something. finally figured out there was a flip piece inside under the hip joint.  

as for the cannon, i decided to dissemble it to see if i could figure out what was going wrong. couldn't figure out where exactly it was supposed to catch and hold. but reassembling it seems to have did the job of correcting whatever it was, so now both click and lock in place relatively easily now.

 

I think it'll be even funnier once we get more titans. We either treat them like dogs, which with the likes of metroplex only leads to shenanigans, or you treat them like kids to older bots, which would be equally funny. Like those memes about dangerous dogs and kids

 

Scooby Doo Kids comes to mind.

Granted, with Trypicon, I could see displaying them as a unified fleet with, say, MasterMade's Diabolus Rex as ther flagship and all the little Tryps as wing-kaiju.

But, seeing as Metroplex's redecos are Decepticons, it'll be a little harder to say make a fleet of Metropli with MasterMade's Titan as their flagship when they should be firing on each other. .^.

 

You treat him as the older brother who has to deal with a bunch of brats aka the dr wu ones, with the metroplex being his favorite sibling.

 

Mine's still stuck in LAX. ??? Shouldn't be a big Xmas backlog still, right?

::edit:: "Squeaky wheel"----it was in my mailbox today after work! It just skipped every update/location since LAX, until delivery.

 

Mine was sitting in LA since Jan 16, but now tracking says it finally showed up in my city.

 

In case anyone wanted to put it back in the box for storage here is how he was configured. It took me a minute to figure it out. I should have taken a picture before messing with it. Such a fun figure to mess with. It feels like a puzzle which adds to the fun.

I had the same problem. I unscrewed the module from the back. The grey button is a one piece design where the bottom of the part has a leaf spring molded in. You just have to bend it out just very small amount so that it pushs up with a little more force. I did it in my office, but now that I'm home I may take it apart again and use hot water to soften it, move it out a little, hold it in position, and run it under cold water to lock it in position. I'll take some pics when I do.

Edit: here are some pics. I ended up just holding it carefully as I held only the spring area under some running hot tap water for a few seconds, carefully flexed it out just a very small amount. Then I ran it under cold tap water. Seems to be working fine now.

I looked at one photo on ShowZ and it helped me figure it out. Basically you start out in dino mode and fold up the head, tail, arms, and legs as much as possible. You need to configure the feet as shown in the photo. But, the real trick is that there's a hinge at the hip joint where the legs attach to the body. You have to pull out and up so that the hip joint shifts to a higher position as indicated by the arrow on the first pic. Everything should lock in place properly with tabs, pins, etc. so you know it's in the right position. Nothing is just folded loosely except maybe the claws. They are just folded in, but the arm is pegged in at the elbow joint.

 

Anyone else notice the insignia molded inside the tower? You can't really use the whole space since it's across multiple layers/3D. But they clearly intend for one.

 

Are there any pics with Titan class Trypticon?
