The end of the year has one more Soundwave Sneak Peek revealing the Transformers Age of the Primes G1 Trypticon Titan Class figure.
Hasbro is reissuing the Generation Selects figure in 2025 (right) with what is said to feature the following changes from the original 2017 Titans Return Trypticon (left) release:
Watch the official reveal video on @transformersofficial with comments from designer Evan Brooks for the release, followed by screen caps below.
If we don't get a sticker set and some horns to turn this GS Trypticon into Gigastorm from Toyhax, it would be a bigger waste than Hasbro not just releasing this as Gigastorm with a sticker sheet and some horns so it could be either.
Seriously though, just make some translucent orange horns to replace the translucent orange nose cannon cover. Then have some purple stickers for the central ramp with the silver Predacon sigil, some teal stickers for the spots and some silver and gold highlights for the hips, tail and arms.
But really, how do you redeco/reissue Trypticon and NOT make it Gigastorm? Especially after the overwhelming positive reception for Magmatron. People want some more Japanese Beast Wars love. Gigastorm, Big Convoy, Galvatron, Stampy, Moon, Heinrad, Longrack, Mach Kick. More than just Lio Convoy exists. Skywarp was a fluke as they just didn't want to name it Silverbolt even if Skywarp is a name that's even more known and used than Silverbolt. We have multiple versions of Skywarp and others all the time, we can handle three different versions of Silverbolt a few years apart each.
I can't justify $90 for what looks like an oversized legacy scale figure.
I was excited to hear we are getting Horri-bull and maybe there's still hope for Sureshot, too.
