No, not MechaGodzilla

General
I try not to go all fanboy over Transformers stuff on this site (too much), but the New York Toy Fair is opening this weekend, and aside from the kids' cartoon stuff, aside from the upcoming movie stuff, aside from the other other stuff, we're getting a muddafuggin' giant transforming dinosaur.

(maybe more Kaiju-like than Dinosaur, perhaps)
Fun fact: in the Transformers cartoon in 1986, Trypticon was one of the early voice-over gigs by Brad Garrett (AKA Raymond's brother on 'Everybody Loves Raymond', AKA lots of the really deep voices in Disney and Pixar films). It's not as obvious here though, because it's one of those "screaming while gargling hot asphault" kind of voice roles.

I watched the trailer once and just noped away from it.
The design is all G1 updated a bit. No Tie Ins to the Bayformers..
I think the best thing about this figure though, he can EAT titan masters :P
You know I'd be spending most my time in the new plastic model kit promotions booths there.
Am I the only one that wonders why he's never really considered a Titan like Metroplex and the like in the comics despite being contemporaries initially?
Definitely.. definitely getting him for my collection. [Fall release means plenty of time to squirrel some funds away]
Now if they'd do Omega Supreme next year or Scorponok it would be great.
The title of the journal got my attention. (Big Godzilla fan)
Hey it's R2-D2! I loved him in Star Trek!!!
Silliness aside it will be cool to see how things look when finally out.
Loose or Mint in Box?
Though even if loose that sounds about right if it was complete and in good condition.
Fortress Maximus is THE ultimate to find since the value is in the $1000s
