Hot off the presses, the collectables magazine Figure King No. 230 has a whole five page section on Takara's Legends LG 43 Dinosaurer aka Trypticon. It is still very unclear just what the difference between the Hasbro and Takara version are. So far both have used the same official images and Takara has used Hasbro's product for some of their promotion. Also, Hasbro's reveal of Trypticon at NY Toy Far was using a painted model, which is also not inidicative of how it will look like finished. So while we could assume that what we see in these magazine images is the final deco of the Takara release, it still does not leave us much to go on in terms of what the differences are. Let us know if you find any obvious differences that aren't just dependent on the lighting. We have added images of the Hasbro Trypticon shown at the Australia toy fair below as well for you to make a comparison if needed.The article does show us a lot of functionality that was not shown yet, such as how Full Tilt has a cockpit for a titan master to ride in, and how the front of the ship mode opens like a giant mouth. We also see him scaled with Metroplex with no angle tricks and he does look much smaller. Plus, and this one is awesome, we see the earliest model of Trypticon done by expert designer Hasui who had used parts of Fort Max to show how they could pull off a Trypticon. This by no means makes Trypticon any sort of retool, it just shows how the mind of a designer works, using whatever they have at their disposal to get their vision across.The extra weapon in the listing seems to be Full Tilt's gun and there is no catapult shown in the images meaning that it might just be a gimmick part of the toy and not an accessory on its own.Enjoy these images and tell us that you think!Hasbro version
