Andy DecadeHOST
Starscream, two Starscreams, one set.
Andy DecadeHOST
Astrotrain, Blur, Shattered Glass Metroplex, Trypticon, which is the clear version, and Cybertron itself.
Andy DecadeHOST
So, the Starscream, Coronation Starscream, I'm never a big fan of the Coronation Starscream, so this to me is just very much like, yep, it's a Coronation Starscream.
Andy DecadeHOST
He's got the shoulder pads, he's got a plastic cape, he's got a big crown.
Andy DecadeHOST
I do like to see this color for Metroplex, though, because I do like it.
Andy DecadeHOST
I think it's a neat color scheme.
Andy DecadeHOST
And the version of Trypticon that's translucent is just translucent purple, and then some parts are translucent pink.
Andy DecadeHOST
I kind of wish they'd broke it up a bit more into a few more.
speaker_0HOST
A nice tweak if you ask me, since at this point they're rocking Cybertronian alt modes instead of dinosaurs.
speaker_0HOST
And in this particular mini-series? They take on the Decepticons' new secret hidden base, Trypticon.
speaker_0HOST
Later, it's Swoop who convinces Shockwave to form a temporary alliance against the main baddie of the War Within miniseries, the Fallen.
speaker_0HOST
And after the Dinobots head to Earth in pursuit of the Insecticons, Swoop is the pilot who flies them back home to Cybertron in a stolen Decepticon shuttle.
speaker_0HOST
Better to die alongside his brothers than live alone.
speaker_0HOST
And in the end, he's the one who takes out Scorponok, slicing through the cables, powering the Decepticon's head with his wings, rendering him inert.
speaker_0HOST
A later IDW story puts Swoop and the Dinobots right back in Trypticon's path.
speaker_0HOST
But worth noting first, the team picks up a new member, Strafe, a female Chameon from the long-lost Cybertronian colony of Chaminus, who gets corrupted by Trypticon's toxic energon and mutates into a monstrous, two-headed beast.
DarrylHOST
That was right, yeah.
DarrylHOST
Trypticon, who is clear.
DarrylHOST
That kind of looks cool.
DarrylHOST
And then Cybertron.
DarrylHOST
Yeah,
JeremyHOST
they all look really cool.
JeremyHOST
I like that the Cybertron looks like it comes with a little Trypticon there on top of it.
DarrylHOST
Mm-hmm.
DerekHOST
Because for me, it was like...
DerekHOST
I feel like we all come from the same, I don't know, the same economic background where Trypticon and Fortress Maximus were just too much money.
DerekHOST
But if you were really good, then you could get a Scorponok or a Metroplex because those were the $30 to $35 price point, whereas...
DerekHOST
Fort Max and Trypticon, those were like $100.
DerekHOST
You know what I mean? So it's like, no one's, you know, it was one of those things where you think to yourself, oh, maybe on a birthday you'd get Metroplex.
DerekHOST
Or for Christmas, you'd get Metroplex.
DarylHOST
That was right, yeah.
DarylHOST
Trypticon, who is clear.
DarylHOST
That kind of looks cool.
DarylHOST
And then Cybertron.
DarylHOST
Yeah,
JeremyHOST
they all look really cool.
JeremyHOST
I like that the Cybertron looks like it comes with a little Trypticon there on top of it.
DarylHOST
Mm-hmm.
speaker_0HOST
Welcome to Stories from Cybertron.
speaker_0HOST
Episode 200, Totally Trypticon.
speaker_0HOST
Are you familiar with the word Kaiju? It's Japanese for strange beast, which kinda undersells it because when most of us hear Kaiju, we're not picturing some weird little critter.
speaker_0HOST
We're picturing something the size of a skyscraper, wading out of Tokyo Bay, smashing buildings, and breathing atomic fire on whatever's left.
speaker_0HOST
And the Decepticons? Well, the Decepticons had never really been the city planning type, so they went with something tailor-made for destroying cities instead.
speaker_0HOST
A Kaiju, their very own Mechagodzilla.
speaker_0HOST
Trypticon.
speaker_0HOST
Unlike a lot of the early Transformers who started life as Diaclone or Microman toys and just got new names and a faction symbol, Trypticon was pretty much built for Transformers.
DonPANELIST
They have a-
ChrisPANELIST
And the, it's got the clear Trypticon
DonPANELIST
...
DonPANELIST
Shattered Glass Metroplex.
DonPANELIST
Oh, okay.
RobPANELIST
Yeah, they're calling it Shattered Glass Metroplex I guess just because, but yeah, it is, it is Metro Titan colors.
DonPANELIST
There's a clear Trypticon, which I think-
ChrisPANELIST
I don't like that
JohnPANELIST
They have a-
ChrisPANELIST
And the ver- it's got the clear Trypticon
JohnPANELIST
...
JohnPANELIST
Shattered Glass Metroplex.
JohnPANELIST
Oh, okay.
RobPANELIST
Yeah, they're calling it Shattered Glass Metroplex, I guess just because, but yeah, it is, it is Metro Titan colors.
JohnPANELIST
There's a clear Trypticon, which I think-
ChrisPANELIST
I don't like that
Andy DecadeHOST
I can't even remember
Andy DecadeHOST
his upgraded form when he turns into the Trypticon.
Andy DecadeHOST
Either way, it's that version.
Andy DecadeHOST
I saw Digibash into that, and it looked a lot more interesting.
Donald FergusonPANELIST
Megastorm.
Donald FergusonPANELIST
Yeah, but Megastorm is a Trypticon recolor.
Donald FergusonPANELIST
Yeah.
Donald FergusonPANELIST
I hope that color scheme does not wind up being like a Takara exclusive.
