Description And now we come to Metroplex's eternal rival, Trypticon.

Animated Bio:

According to the legends, Trypticon was among the first generation of Titans, and was as fearsome as he was untamable, refusing to answer to anyone but himself and his own code.  Next to Metrotitan, Trypticon was the one Metroplex found himself exchanging blows with.  However, this sparring between the two caused them to develop an understanding and respect for one another, and would occasionally find them fighting alongside each other.  Before the war, Trypticon, Metroplex, and Fortress Maximus were found by the Autobot Elite Guard, but unlike the latter Titans, Trypticon was actively denied the chance to awaken, and was instead reconfigured while in stasis as a maximum security prison.  The public had no knowledge of the prison's true nature, and assumed that it was given Trypticon's name in order to invoke fear in the inmates.  Only a few of the higher ups know of the prison's true form and hoped against hope that it would never awaken.  Sadly, as it is often said, nothing lasts forever...

For this, I used the aesthetic of Animated Grimlock and had the 2014 American Godzilla as a basis, as I figured it would be appropriate.

Up next is Fortress Maximus' rival on the Decepticons side, Scorponok.  The reason I include him in the Titans line-up is because both Fort Max and Scorponok were originally designed and built as city-former toys, but their fictional portrayals tend to throw out the idea of them being huge at all.  Fort Max only recently got his city-former status back, but Scorponok hasn't, so I'm correcting that.

Let me know what you all think in the comments below.

Yeah, you’d think, but that’s not what they went with.

When you think about it, Trypticon is sorta a sad case.

By the bio, it seems that this Trypticon is a lot smarter than his G1 counterpart which is excellent. Never like that portrayal.

I'm guessing that Megatron would learn of Trypticon's true self and reactivate him from stasis. And after learning to what happened to him, would join Megatron in a bid to destroy the Autobot Elite Guard for their wrongdoing. Even if that means tearing through Metroplex.

Having his design based off the 2014 Godzilla is very fitting. 

Great Job!

RexBlazer1 In reply to SupernalGodzilla02 [2018-06-25 12:48:04 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, he is a lot smarter than his G1 counterpart.

You could say that, although he'd still seek to maintain his independence and would turn on Megatron as soon as he suspected foul play.

Fun fact: had Animated gotten a season 3, Megatron would've orchestrated a prison break that teleported Trypticon Prison and all its inmates to Earth.

It just seemed right when I did it.

Thank you.

Just curious but would you do the Titan Transformers 'helpers'? Like with Trypticon's helpers Wipe-Out, Full-Tilt and Brunt?

Not sure. Maybe somewhere down the road, but for now, it’s just the Titans themselves.

I knew you were gonna use Grimlock for this and my god it's too perfect. I love the backstory you gave him making them fight alongside before the war which makes sense along the line of Titans. I can't wait for you to bring Scorponok into the Animated Verse.

RexBlazer1 In reply to ZER0GEO-Arts [2018-06-25 12:32:47 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it just seemed appropriate, though not sure what you mean by "too perfect."

And yeah, them having a somewhat friendly rivalry made sense.  Out of curiosity, what would you do with Trypticon's backstory?

We'll see soon enough.

ZER0GEO-Arts In reply to RexBlazer1 [2018-06-25 13:03:47 +0000 UTC]

What I mean it was that it's that perfect to me.

I'd probably make him the jealous type since Metroplex is always the favorite to everybody which made him turn to the decepticon side.

Ah, I get it now.

It's possible, though I think it would need to be thought out a little more.

I guess so but I think it makes sense to me.

Well, it just depends on the context and who exactly the "everybody else" is.

It has actually some Godzilla vibes to it. Especially with the head.

I kind of could see that. Hehe.

And it works. Really well.

By the way, does anyone know how big Trypticon would be, in comparison to Godzilla?

RexBlazer1 In reply to OptimusV42 [2018-06-25 14:54:51 +0000 UTC]

They would be about the same size.

OptimusV42 In reply to RexBlazer1 [2018-06-25 14:56:00 +0000 UTC]

Hmm… It would really be "Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla", right?!

RexBlazer1 In reply to OptimusV42 [2018-06-25 14:57:47 +0000 UTC]

In a sense, if Mechagodzilla was a Transformer.

Actually, I did have an idea once as part of a massive in-universe crossover.

OptimusV42 In reply to RexBlazer1 [2018-06-25 15:03:18 +0000 UTC]

Hmm… Sounds interesting.

I actually took that old GoBots episode where the Renegades release mutated dinosaurs, and I reimagined it as a Transformers episode, with a guest appearance by Godzilla.

RexBlazer1 In reply to OptimusV42 [2018-06-25 15:06:19 +0000 UTC]

Well, my idea was more of a shared universe thing.  The Power Rangers' Zords are actually reverse-engineered from Transformers technology.  Plus, the Dragonzord is actually a rebuilt and reprogrammed Mechagodzilla, which was also reverse-engineered from TF tech.

Like, shared universe idea.  Not to mention, Optimus Primal gets his alt. mode from King Kong.

Wow. That's wild. Hehe.

I'm guessing he gets huge, from scanning King Kong, right?!

RexBlazer1 In reply to OptimusV42 [2018-06-25 15:15:55 +0000 UTC]

What can I say, I'm an idea guy.

Actually, in this universe, the Beast Wars Maximals and Predacons would be the same size as the 'Bots and 'Cons, and Kong would be the size he was in the Peter Jackson movie.

OptimusV42 In reply to RexBlazer1 [2018-06-25 15:21:27 +0000 UTC]

Ah… That makes sense, yeah.

I also like to consider myself an idea guy. I mean, come on, how many do you know who actually imagine Vulcans with emotions?! Hmm?!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

RexBlazer1 In reply to OptimusV42 [2018-06-25 15:25:40 +0000 UTC]

Well, the problem is actually getting down to writing those ideas.  Plus, as a friend once said, "If I tried to write down every story idea I ever had, I'd never get anything done."

I think it's established that the Vulcans do have emotions, they just do a good job of suppressing them.  Plus, I argue that if they were truly emotionless, they would have absolutely no drive to do anything whatsoever.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

OptimusV42 In reply to RexBlazer1 [2018-06-25 15:32:10 +0000 UTC]

That's exactly how I feel about the Vulcans. I know they only suppressed their emotions. I meant that I envision a version of them that doesn't suppress their emotions, but rather dedicate themselves to science.

I also had this wild thought… What would have happened if Q showed himself to humans already at Captain Kirk's era? How would the original Enterprise crew deal with him?

RexBlazer1 In reply to OptimusV42 [2018-06-25 15:35:29 +0000 UTC]

Well, it's just the way you worded it.

They'd probably be as annoyed by him as Picard's crew.

But this has gotten a bit off track from the TF this pic is depicting.
