She went through some changes since the previous photo. The thinner body works better for this look, particularly with a large gun/head, I think. I also shortened all four lower leg sections because they felt a little too stretched out. And it looks better from this lower angle, lol.
I'd forgotten how difficult I find it to replicate a particular design; I abandoned my Trypticon a little while ago as it became too frustrating (one component I could get perfectly detailed but then it would through off the section next to or above). So this Puppy will be more of a tribute to Pearce's wicked design.
Wow, almost exactly a year since I shelved this thing. I took the box out today and made a much better leg. Now I have to replicate this left leg. I made a shopping list on the right.
The 6x6 dish will be a trans yellow one that I'll colour shift to orange in Photoshop for pics. You know, maybe it should be smaller, like a 4x4 dish, relative to the circle around it? Bah, I'll leave it, if I start revising it too much now I'll never finish it.
I mean, destroy the Autobots! I'm starting a G1 Trypticon build (non-transformable). I'll need to order most/all of the teal and dark purple parts but in the meantime I can frame out the beast with the dark and light bley that I have plenty of. That 6x6 dish on his hip isn't available in trans orange so I'll have to get a trans light blue one and colour shift it in Photoshop.
The first phase will be getting the proportions right; the size of the head, leg height/width and how they relate to one another. I have a feeling already that the head might be too big, I'm not sure.
Ungh, I can't seem to nail the leg shape, especially the taper in the thigh. First try on the left was way off, the second one is better but not there. It does have some angle to it, but it looks "faked". I'm at the stage where I'm wondering if I'd have more fun building my own designs instead of trying to replicate something. Maybe the summer heat has just melted my brain.
The three Pic of the Lidfaß Trypticohon shrunk combined in a single Pic..

Inspired by a black covered Lidfaß Column, which was corresponding to the Bus Stop Advertisement for a better black Cloth Soap. How would it have been in Color?
Four million years ago, the mighty Metroplex revealed himself as the Autobot's last stand against the brutal Decepticon terror, Trypticon. He fought to protect the Ark and those sparks on board.
Now that I had better leg designs, I sketched things in roughly and I can see how much more there is to do and to change. Phew! I need to lengthen the calves and narrow the thighs, which are way too wide in comparison with the belly section in the reference pics. Given that it really needs technic ratchet hips I have to rebuild the leg anyway. Also the head too far forward and too big: however, given that I might need to make the legs longer, I'll keep the head as is.
Maybe I'll just sell most of my dark bley, drak teal and purple bricks and just buy the damn toy, lol.
Interesting to see on the tech drawing how swol the tail is compared to the toy photo. On my test rig it's really front heavy already so it would need some decent ballast in the tail.
The Huge dino mode of my Titan Class Trypticon! Enjoy!

"The end result is certainly more... aggressive," Megatron said, referring to Shockwave's modifications to Trypticon by adding the parasitic Necro while using Full Tilt as a filter between them.
Meanwhile, Trypticon levels yet another Autobot fortress. Amid the sounds of destruction a tiny voice cries out from Trypticon's new chest plate… "Help me... somebody please, help me," the voice of Full Tilt cries out in vain.
The End.
[This concludes the story I wanted to tell. I plan to continue it, expanding it to show additional toy lines and continuities colliding together. I know certain scenes I want to include, but I'm still looking for the ending.]

She-Ra here sat in my pile of reviews for a long time. I got her from Matty Collector when she went on clearance. I had not actually known she existed until I heard about the clearance deal at the end of 2016. The price was good, so I grabbed her.
Once she finally arrived I was blown away by the extreme size of the box. It was one of the largest boxes I have ever gotten a single figure in, and that includes the boxes for Trypticon and Fortress Maximus.
There was some great art all of the way around the box, with a great story on the inside of the creation of She-Ra and the hard work that went into creating this figure after 30 years.
Getting her out of the box, she is wearing the She-Ra outfit from the TV show. I am not gonna lie, I had a huge crush on She-Ra back in the day. I was a young guy back then, but I knew a strong beautiful lady when I saw one.
The face sculpt is fantastic. She has piercing blue eyes and just enough makeup to make her cheekbones pop. A few little touches here and there, and she is perfect.
The cloth goods are amazing. The dress is a leather type material in white. There is a separate piece of gold leather that is added to make the accent on her torso. You always need accessories, so gets gold gauntlets, a gold belt, gold leather boots, a gold headdress, and a red double thick cape.
Don't forget any warrior princess' main accessory, her sword. Of course, as a TV character, she would need to tie into He-Man, so her sword looks very similar.
Let's take a look at the body they used for She-Ra as we change her clothes. This is an amazing body sculpt. She has muscles for miles. I cannot believe Mattel went to so much trouble for this body sculpt. I haven't seen anything like it since.
I wonder if they were planning to use it more for other figures in the line at a later time. Maybe they were using SDCC 2016 as a test pool to see if She-Ra could make a comeback in store.
Okay, onto outfit two. Princess Adora. I really liked Adora better than She-Ra in the show. There was something about her that was more personable.
This is a completely different outfit. They went with the leather goods again for the main suit, this time a red unitard. She has white spandex material that goes up to her neck, and down her arms. She wears red plastic gauntlets that are solid, so they have to be put on before the hands.
Always one that has to be ready to jump into action, Adora has loops in the back of her unitard that allows for her sword to be held in place.
The only part I have trouble with here is her hair. It came pushed back behind her tiara initially, so she has a bit of a case of hat head going on. The price we pay for real hair as opposed to molded plastic hair.
Now things get interesting. Back in the day, She-Ra came out in stores across the country. She had an outfit that was nothing like the outfit from the cartoon. It was designed to be a fashion warrior look, and it was something. Well, we actually got an updated version of that outfit too. Now you can see why this box was so big. Three full outfits.
This outfit is probably the most intricate of the three with a gold bodice that has a flower and a big jewel in the middle. There is a little white fabric that pops up on the right side from the asymmetrical undergarment. She comes with a different cape that has white frills at the top. Her other accessories consist of a silver shield, new gold gauntlets, and a new sword.
Her tiara can be reversed to make a mask. Back when she was first created in 1985, This was a feature of the original doll. It was not a hit with the kids when they did testing, and downplayed the design of being able to flip over the tiara. What were those kids thinking? A double use for an accessory? Oh well.
She-Ra is strong and powerful, and they made her look great. I put her with a soldier to show her in comparison. They are about the same height, and her body proportions are great.
Comparing her to some other Mattel dolls, it is clear that this one went more of the route of realism. She is more proportionate to a real human as opposed to the exaggerated head and legs of some other popular lines. So, she will be able to play with.
I am glad I picked her up. She has been living on the shelf in her She-Ra outfit as it looks fantastic, and though I love Adora, the hair is not great. I may have to try washing it at some point in the future. We will see. I would love to have seen Mattel make a He-Man to go with her, but since I got her on clearance from SDCC 2016, I am guessing she did not sell well, and we have probably seen the end of the line for the Princess of Power.
"I am Optimus Prime."
Oh, wow, the big daddy Transformer himself!
"Which Transformer is always traveling?"
Huh?
"Trypticon. Ha. Ha!"
What was that? Trypticon?
Oh, because 'trip'. What Transformer is always traveling...
He's making jokes?
Bet there'll be a 'prime rib' joke.
"What do you call a race between a lot of transformers?"
...
We don't know.
Say, can you tell us about some of the Transformers adventures, or life on Cybertron?
"A megathon. HA! HA!"
*sigh*
I didn't get that one.
"Why does a transformer need a watch?"
We... we don't know.
"To tell the optimus time. HA! HA! Okay, what does Optimus Prime have in common with a movie theater?"
A... big hit?
"The trailer. HA! HA! Hey, how come Hot Rod’s new paint job turned out so bad?"
We don't know.
"He didn’t use Optimus Primer! HA! HA! HA!"
We're not going to hear anything about Cybertron, are we.
Noooope.
"Why did the transformer cross the road?"
To get to the other side!
"Right! HA! HA!"
Stop encouraging him!
"What do you get when you mix a transformer with a cow?"
I knew it!
Don't...
But this is the one!
Dooooonnn't!
An Optimus Prime Rib!
"Yes! HA! HA! HA! One more!"
Oh, thank goodness.
"What do you call an Autobot in denial?"
...
"A car! HA! HA! HA!"
This was like the worst Optimus Prime showing ever.
I got the prime rib one!
Oh, be quiet.
Happy 🍔🍟 Thursday!

"I must commend you, Shockwave. You have outdone yourself," Megatron said.
"Oh sure, you always praise him," Starscream whispered under his breath.
"Thank you my liege," Shockwave said.
"It would not have been possible if you had not suggested combining Necros with Trypticon," Jiaxus said. "By using Full Tilt as a filter..."
"We have achieved a near perfect symbiosis between the three units. Full Tilt will even be able to act independently for limited periods of time, increasing Trypticon's capabilities. The end result is much more..."
The Decepticons have retaliated with their own cityformer, Trypticon! Unfortunately, he requires so much energon to function hat using him is nearly untenable.

As much as I love the retro packaging, the Force Link 2.0 has some fantastic artwork! My vote goes to Forcelink 2.0. Trypticon agrees...

Let's take a look at the body they used for She-Ra as we change her clothes. This is an amazing body sculpt. She has muscles for miles. I cannot believe Mattel went to so much trouble for this body sculpt. I haven't seen anything like it since.
I wonder if they were planning to use it more for other figures in the line at a later time. Maybe they were using SDCC 2016 as a test pool to see if She-Ra could make a comeback in store.
Okay, onto outfit two. Princess Adora. I really liked Adora better than She-Ra in the show. There was something about her that was more personable.
This is a completely different outfit. They went with the leather goods again for the main suit, this time a red unitard. She has white spandex material that goes up to her neck, and down her arms. She wears red plastic gauntlets that are solid, so they have to be put on before the hands.
Always one that has to be ready to jump into action, Adora has loops in the back of her unitard that allows for her sword to be held in place.
The only part I have trouble with here is her hair. It came pushed back behind her tiara initially, so she has a bit of a case of hat head going on. The price we pay for real hair as opposed to molded plastic hair.
Now things get interesting. Back in the day, She-Ra came out in stores across the country. She had an outfit that was nothing like the outfit from the cartoon. It was designed to be a fashion warrior look, and it was something. Well, we actually got an updated version of that outfit too. Now you can see why this box was so big. Three full outfits.
This outfit is probably the most intricate of the three with a gold bodice that has a flower and a big jewel in the middle. There is a little white fabric that pops up on the right side from the asymmetrical undergarment. She comes with a different cape that has white frills at the top. Her other accessories consist of a silver shield, new gold gauntlets, and a new sword.
Her tiara can be reversed to make a mask. Back when she was first created in 1985, This was a feature of the original doll. It was not a hit with the kids when they did testing, and downplayed the design of being able to flip over the tiara. What were those kids thinking? A double use for an accessory? Oh well.
She-Ra is strong and powerful, and they made her look great. I put her with a soldier to show her in comparison. They are about the same height, and her body proportions are great.
Comparing her to some other Mattel dolls, it is clear that this one went more of the route of realism. She is more proportionate to a real human as opposed to the exaggerated head and legs of some other popular lines. So, she will be able to play with.
I am glad I picked her up. She has been living on the shelf in her She-Ra outfit as it looks fantastic, and though I love Adora, the hair is not great. I may have to try washing it at some point in the future. We will see. I would love to have seen Mattel make a He-Man to go with her, but since I got her on clearance from SDCC 2016, I am guessing she did not sell well, and we have probably seen the end of the line for the Princess of Power.
She-Ra here sat in my pile of reviews for a long time. I got her from Matty Collector when she went on clearance. I had not actually known she existed until I heard about the clearance deal at the end of 2016. The price was good, so I grabbed her.
Once she finally arrived I was blown away by the extreme size of the box. It was one of the largest boxes I have ever gotten a single figure in, and that includes the boxes for Trypticon and Fortress Maximus.
There was some great art all of the way around the box, with a great story on the inside of the creation of She-Ra and the hard work that went into creating this figure after 30 years.
Getting her out of the box, she is wearing the She-Ra outfit from the TV show. I am not gonna lie, I had a huge crush on She-Ra back in the day. I was a young guy back then, but I knew a strong beautiful lady when I saw one.
The face sculpt is fantastic. She has piercing blue eyes and just enough makeup to make her cheekbones pop. A few little touches here and there, and she is perfect.
