If you could pick another Titan sized TF toy,who would it be?

I'd Select Fortress Maximus,for a few reasons:
1- He hasn't received a newer update homage toy yet.
2- The 1987 toy appears to be in huge demand on the secondary market & the recent reissue.
3- I think the over all 1987 toy/media designs in all modes should translate well into the Titan sized toy
4- As far as retail & secondary sales goes,I think it'll be in huge demand.

I don't want to ever see a Titan sized 1987 Scorponok toy. I just didn't care for the ugly 1987 toy/media designs in all modes. Anyways the Energon Ultra Sized Scorponok toy is decent.

If Trypticon gets any newer update toy,it should be a Cyber-verse play set. due to this toy having no humanoid shaped mode & overly simplified other modes.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Titan sized G-1 Omega Supreme toy for Generations. But the toy needs to look as much like the 1985 toy as possible. That Energon Omega Supreme toy was so awful,their desperately needs a replacement new mold.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Titan sized 1986 G-1 Predaking combiner toy. Where each G-1 Predacon was Voyager sized that merged to form a Titan size 24 inch Predaking gestalt mode.

I too would like to see Fort Max but I'd honestly like to finally see all the citybots in the same scale to each other. The real problem with the original Scorpinok wasn't that it was ugly, it's that it was like 1/2 the size of his main opponent, Fortress Maximus. And I'd still like to see Metroplex's nemesis Trypticon updated. They could make the various modes more complex and diverse with current technology. Omega Supreme I could really live without. Especially given that the Energon version has just been reissued.

I'd also really like to see Trypticon as a Titan class figure personally. Being Metroplex's rival from G1 makes him a good choice as a Decepticon counterpart to him, not to mention Trypticon's recent appearances in the WFC/FoC video games as the ultimate Decepticon weapon. And because they would have to redesign and update the character for a new toy anyway, it'd be awesome if they gave him a new form, since he transforms into the Nemesis in those games.

Fortress Maximus would be an obvious choice as another Autobot cityformer.

Scorponok, like Shockwave said, it would be nice to see all the cityformers in scale to each other, and if they made Fort Max, it would be nice to have Scorponok as well, as those two are rivals like Trypticon and Metroplex are.

Omega Supreme, I'd love to see an updated version of the guy, but not as a Titan class. He's supposed to big but not that big. Maybe as a Leader or Supreme class figure. Unless they went with something more like Animated where he transforms into the Ark. That might be kinda cool actually. If they had even made an Animated version of Omega Supreme, I would have gotten it.

incorrect,1987 Scorponok's toy was not 1/2 the size of 1987 Fort max's toy. 1987 Fort max's toy was around 24 inches tall. 1987 Scorponok's toy was almost 18 inches tall.

Parents/kids that make up 95%+ of TF sales are not going to buy a Titan Trypticon $125 TF toy in decent worth while volume units.
DUE TO TRYPTICON NOT HAVING A HUMANOID SHAPED MODE.

Having a humanoid mode means Hasbro can cram 30+articulated moving joints in to make it almost MP Level of poseabilty thus worth the Titan $125 price tag in hasbro's & buyers eyes.

What happened to "If you could pick another Titan sized TF toy, who would it be"...?

And really, how many parents are going to be willing to spend $125 on one toy, or kids that have that much money to spend? I mean, with that high of a price tag, you're probably not going to be looking at 95%+ of the sales of the Titan Class going to parents/kids in general. And why wouldn't Trypticon sell that well just because it doesn't have a humanoid form? Not having a humanoid form doesn't mean they can't find ways to cram plenty of articulation into its dinosaur form. I think they actually could make a very cool Titan class Trypticon.

Whether or not his bot mode is humanoid or not is irrelevant. The reason that Trypticon in G1 was so limited was because of the walking gimmick which any new version of him isn't going to have. That will free them up to give him a lot more detail, articulation and a far more complext transformation scheme, especially if they make him either a starship like Sparky suggested or an energon station like in WFC. I mean, you're basically saying that dinosaur alt modes can't be well articulated and if that's the case, MP Grimlock would like to have a word with you.

1- On message forums,other members often debate other members ideas/wish list. You've debatted my ideas,so why can't I debate yours.

2- Hasbro has a high track record of releasing the extremly huge/super exspensive TF toys around august of any year. This is done,to squeeze in this huge/exspensive TF toy into most store Christmas shelves/pegs resets.

2a- Parents have a high track record of buying their kids huge & exspensive toys during the Christmas buying season months. THIS IS WHY MOST SUPREME/BIGGER TF TOYS ARE MADE LESS COMPLEX IN TRANSFORMATION & HAVE THICKER PLASTIC AS IT'S MORE AIMED FOR YOUNGER KIDS AS THEIR ULTIMATE HUGE+EXSPENSIVE CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

You can't compare Trypticon to Grimlock,Because Grimlock has a beast mode & a humanoid shaped mode,Trypticon has no humanoid shaped mode.

Having Trypticon Transform from beast mode to space ship mode to city mode,Means the toy is basically an ALTS MODES TOY & Has no humanoid mode in parents/kids view point. The majority of parents/kids are not going to spend $125+ on a Titan sized TF toy that has no humanoid mode.

You're assuming a lot. Lots of people bought Devastator, and that only had a "humanoid" robot mode and vehicle modes.
