mikeszekely Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 I'm tempted, because I had Trippy and I loved him when I was like 7 or 8. I'm afraid the realities of '80s toy engineering to my adult mind would diminish my memories, though. Quote

I'm afraid the realities of '80s toy engineering to my adult mind would diminish my memories, though. i still swoosh around my g1 thundercracker and rollout g1 prowl . they're awesome. never disappointed Edited November 28, 2015 by davidwhangchoi Quote
myk Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Was Trypticon considered a good toy back in the day? I've grown up thinking I needed this toy but could never get it... Quote
mikeszekely Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 I remember being less impressed with city and battle mode than Metroplex, but loving the face that he was a huge robot dinosaur. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Trypticon is the best city-former due to having the best city mode. Metroplex has the better battle-mode, but they're known as cities, not battlestation-formers. Scorponok is the only city-former with a good third mode. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 and he's motorized damn so excited, i never had him as a kid... Quote
myk Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Motorized? Like he walks? What other parts are motorized? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Motorized? Like he walks? What other parts are motorized? He walks, much like any 2-legged Zoid. In non-dino modes, the mechanism causes the radars and gun turrets to rotate. His main cannon/tower lights up, too. (though that light is very flakey--I think mine lasted a year, when I got the original) You'll see more "still walks!" used Trypticons than "still lights up!" used Trypticons. Quote
myk Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Uuuuuuugh I just paid off that Gunbuster too... Quote
Silverstreak Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I'm tempted, because I had Trippy and I loved him when I was like 7 or 8. I'm afraid the realities of '80s toy engineering to my adult mind would diminish my memories, though. This happened to me. He's cool and all, but as you said, 80s engineering, there's not a lot to him really. He'll make a great toy for my son when he's a bit older Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I still want a 3P WFC-styled Trypticon above all else. That design just rocks, and has replaced G1 as the "iconic" version of the character, in my mind. *I still want a city mode, however. I basically want a G1 city that turns into the WFC dino. Because turning into the Nemesis simply can't happen in the real world, not well at least. And we never even really got to see satellite mode, plus it'd be really boring. But you could certainly get a good city mode out of the WFC dino. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 show me a motorized mp and i'll show you... Trypticon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QreotwkH21s Quote
JB0 Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 show me a motorized mp and i'll show you... Trypticon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QreotwkH21s I like how the narration on that makes it sound like Prime and Megatron are kids in the schoolyard trying to one-up each other. "Well MY bots combine into a BIGGER SUPER-BOT!" "Oh yeah? Well MY bot is bigger than your superbot AND he's a dinosaur!" "Clogged injectors! You win this round, Megatron! But tomorrow I'm bringing my DINOSAUR SPACE SHUTTLE!" Quote

derex3592 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Hey Guys!! I'm just NOW starting to collect these awesome MP Transformers -- question!!! I have MP Soundwave and MP-10 re-release coming this week which I'm SUPER pumped about, and I want to pick up Bumblebee, but which version is best??? Hasbro or Takara? I can't seem to find a good comparison. Only a $5 difference so which one do you guys recommend or is there any real difference in the two? DAMN! HLJ just put Order Stop on Shockwave! GRRRRR!! I looked yesterday and it was still available for pre-order. DOHH! Edited November 30, 2015 by derex3592 Quote
Tking22 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Hey Guys!! I'm just NOW starting to collect these awesome MP Transformers -- question!!! I have MP Soundwave and MP-10 re-release coming this week which I'm SUPER pumped about, and I want to pick up Bumblebee, but which version is best??? Hasbro or Takara? I can't seem to find a good comparison. Only a $5 difference so which one do you guys recommend or is there any real difference in the two? DAMN! HLJ just put Order Stop on Shockwave! GRRRRR!! I looked yesterday and it was still available for pre-order. DOHH! I don't think there was an American Hasbro release of Masterpiece BumbleBee, the official Takara version is it. There is a G1 and G2 version, I like the G1 version myself, the G2 Autobot symbol hurts my head to look at, other then that, I'm pretty sure they're the same figure, though, I guess you can lock down a pre-order on the red BumbleBee repaint if you want, but once again, same thing just a different color. I always go to Bigbadtoystore for my official MP releases if they've already come out, pre-order new releases at HLJ if you can. You can also go down the KO route if you really want to...Though that's always a pass for me, you gotta support Takara in my eyes. Quote
derex3592 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Ok. Great. Thanks for the help TKing22! I just wanted to check with the experts I know are here. Definitely no KO versions! Quote
Sandman Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Why is hasbro crappy with releasing masterpiece transformers? Quote
treatment Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Welp!Finally delivered. He is pretty kewl for the most part.The only negative for me was the hood not being flushed and streamlined when in car-mode.As such, my pictarz!arrival in his flying-thingy mode:hood up (coz it's not flushed as I like it to be):and finally, his fabulousness...

Sandman Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Damn i was hoping for Scorpinok. To match the Fortress Maximus coming out. Quote
Chewie Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Guess we better pick him up early before he hits $350+ like Metroplex.That said, I hope they make it more of an original design. It seems Metroplex was just a larger, leaner and cleaner version of the 80s toy. Quote
derex3592 Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Got my first one today!! From a MW member i might add. Yup... I'm all in... LOL.. I'm 10 years old again right now and loving it! sorry... vertical pics from cell phone Quote

mikeszekely Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 I'm cool with Trippy being the next Titan. Of course, I'd have taken Scorponok, too. Omega Supreme, though, I wasn't too sure about. I think he'd need some serious updates from the G1 version to get my attention and make me think that it'd be worth replacing my Platinum Edition Omega Supreme. Bummed I never found Metroplex now...

treatment Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 My MP-25's hood:not quite appreciatin' it... Quote
David Hingtgen Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Have you tried sliding it back? It helps a little. Funky hinge. Also---check the silver engine detail bits. Those were the main source of mine's hood non-flushness. Combined with the the 180 rotating shin panels. Get all the engine and shin bits etc pushed down, and you should be able to get a flush hood. Mine was like yours out of the box, but it's fine now. (It was the passenger side engine detail that was the #1 offender) Quote
