ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Bad Tryp

The story of how the Decepticons built their very own mechanical Godzilla—and accidentally gave him an existential crisis.Back in 1986, when TRANSFORMERS went full kaiju to counter Autobot City, Hasbro unleashed Trypticon: a skyscraper-sized walking nightmare powered by C-batteries, rocket boosters, and pure unadulterated hatred. But as I took a deep dive through his 40-year evolution across vintage toy catalogs, Saturday morning animation, and some surprisingly profound comic book arcs, I realized there is way more to this giant purple dino than just stomping cities. I am breaking down the wild, hilarious, and unexpected legacy of the ultimate Decepticon assault base. So settle in, and let's talk about the giant robot lizard that somehow taught this old dinosaur something new.
