Full-Tilt (G1)

This article is about Trypticon's barely-existent companion/necktie. For the Bad Piggie based on said companion/necktie, see Full-Tilt (AB).

Full-Tilt is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Poor bastard exists just too much to get into "Things that don't exist".

dear anyone who ever had a Trypticon toy as a kid,

    Do you remember the skidz sized car that clipped onto Trypticon's front when he was a dinasaur? I didn't think so you heartless bastards.
    his name was Full-Tilt and he transformed into a small, purple all terrain car that could be launched from Trypticons little tower thing that comes out of the road in the middle of him.
    He was great, i loved the little guy.

Legends comic

Full-Tilt served as Trypticon's black box, containing backup data that allowed the Decepticons to recreate the dinosaur should he be destroyed. After such a thing passed in Metroplex and Trypticon's first battle, Full-Tilt was recovered by Thrust and Ramjet. In 2010, the Constructicons converted a human city into a new Trypticon, which Full-Tilt interfaced with. Trypticon survived till 2015, where he was defeated by Swerve, Tailgate, and Rattrap. In the aftermath, Full-Tilt was rescued by the Battlechargers.

Years later, Full-Tilt was integrated into a smaller Trypticon commanded by Violengiguar. This Trypticon would be destroyed by Dai Atlas, leaving only Full-Tilt's personality component, which fell into the hands of the Race Track Patrol. It was brought to the Metrosquad, who modified the component into a small robot in the hopes that he could be used to recreate Trypticon again. When Weirdwolf desired to do so, he brought Full-Tilt to the Legends World, where a transtector awaited the small robot. LG-43 Trypticon Project Chapter

With data from Godbomber, Weirdwolf's faction of Decepticons were able to construct a new Trypticon at the bottom of Tokyo Bay. To enable transformation, however, they needed a transformation cog, and so attacked Metroplex for his. Despite resistance from Scamper and the employees of the Decepticon-Tera-Kura Company, Full-Tilt was able to steal the cog and bring it to Trypticon. The giant then emerged from the bay as Full-Tilt yelled triumphantly. Decepticon Civil War As Trypticon made his way towards Metroplex to destroy him, Full-Tilt was ordered to stay out of battle as his data was too important, and he instead controlled Trypticon's transformations. When they reached Akihabara, Full-Tilt and his transtector both interfaced with the dinosaur, uploading the backup data and fully restoring him. However, Trypticon was ultimately defeated by Swerve and Metroplex and repurposed as a nerd paradise while Akihabara was being rebuilt, leaving Full-Tilt furious.

The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers

Back in the bottle wit' ye, o' wicked woman!

In the year 2010, Ultra Magnus figured it would be really cool to show a bunch of human children around Autobot City. The children were having a grand ole time until Galvatron arrived with Trypticon in tow.

To meet the threat of Trypticon, Magnus transformed Autobot City into Metroplex, who was quickly injured by Trypticon's Dual Plasma Cannons. Magnus then ordered Scamper into the fray, but Scamper was immediately defeated once Galvatron launched Full-Tilt from Trypticon's chest. Full-Tilt, apparently very overconfident, threatened to make scrap out of everyone.

As Trypticon continued to pound the oil out of Metroplex, Ultra Magnus ordered another City Warrior into action, Six-Gun! Before Full-Tilt could administer the final blow with Brunt, Six-Gun took him by surprise... punching him in the face. (Six-Gun apparently prefers melee combat despite being made entirely out of guns.) Six-Gun then took control of Brunt and blasted Trypticon in the chest, injuring him enough to force Galvatron to call a retreat.

The children rejoiced. The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #3

Megatron, marry me!

Full-Tilt attended the underground gladiatorial combat matches in Kaon's Forge. He saw Megatron totally impale Cy-Kill with his sword, then work him over with his mining vehicle mode. But what really brought the house down was when Megatron used a pick to deliver the coup de grâce, then take off his helmet to let his long, luxurious hair flow in the wind. Full-Tilt was absolutely nuts for that, he was all like—"Yaaa!" and pumping his fist in the air. Megatron Origin #2

Beast Wars: Uprising

Thank you for not forgetting me!

Full-Tilt enjoyed a long friendship and partnership with his Megamaster counterpart Trypticon during the war. As the war came to a conclusion following the Great Push, Trypticon was badly injured. Full-Tilt volunteered for a variation on the Powermaster technology, incorporating himself physically into Trypticon's body to act as a replacement for the city-bot's transformation cog.

After the war, Trypticon remained in starship mode and was rechristened the Dinosaur. Full-Tilt became captain of his old friend, the Builder-in-command of a crew of Maximal officers and Predacon enlisted soldiers, under the supervision of Micromaster political officer, Synapse. The Dinosaur patrolled the Allowed Zone, the area on the outskirts of Cybertronian space which the Human Confederacy maintained as strict border guards following the Great Push.

Full-Tilt came to respect his crew over time, but Trypticon did not. The Megamaster became bitter and hated the smaller Cybertronians for their mobility and transforming ability. When the Grand Uprising began on Cybertron, Synapse killed the communications specialist Hydra in order to keep it a secret. When he moved on to killing the inquisitive intelligence specialist Killer Punch, Full-Tilt objected, but Synapse convinced Trypticon to side with him and they cut the captain off from access to the ship.

Thinking the captain was responsible for their fallen crewmates, Chief Engineer Magmatron and Senior Security Specialist Guiledart fought their way into his quarters, only to find the immobilized Full-Tilt willing to offer whatever help he could. The ship had come under attack by the evil Destructons, and so Magmatron and his junior engineer Dead-End worked to repair the ship while simultaneously disabling Trypticon's mind. Full-Tilt was reconnected to the ship in order to help stop Trypticon from attacking the crew.

Trypticon and Synapse were eventually dealt with, but the ship was too badly damaged and was falling out of orbit. Instead of escaping the planet's gravity, Full-Tilt and Magmatron fought for a controlled descent, and transformed Trypticon on impact to slow their progress. Full-Tilt reconfigured the lobotomized Trypticon into Dinosaur City, and many of the surviving crew and their allies on the planet remained to transform it into a new colony. Intersectionality

Decepticon story

After Springer was defeated for the second time, Trypticon arrived and offered to help, but quickly realized that he was of extremely limited usefulness in the search for the Zel Quartz, an incredibly powerful energy source. His massive size (even though he was only about the size of combiners like Predaking, Computron and Raiden) made him a liability in a search, so he sent Full-Tilt in his stead.

Autobot story

Full-Tilt was the last battle (along with Soundwave and Soundblaster) before facing Megatron and Galvatron. Upon the Autobots entering, the following conversation took place:

You finally made it, Autobots.Soundblaster

Full-Tilt fought in a similar manner to car-mode Autobots (i.e., his vehicle mode attacks were ramming and spinning). The Transformers

Toys

The Transformers

Peculiar Purple ... Something

• Trypticon (Decepticon City, 1986/1987)

• Takara ID number: D-63
• Accessories: "Electro-disruptor" pistol

Released in the third year of the original The Transformers toyline (second in the European and Japanese toylines), Full-Tilt transforms into a Cybertronian dome-topped car. In this mode, he can also attach to Trypticon's underbelly as armor or such. In Trypticon's city mode, Full-Tilt was designed specifically to fit on the central ramp and be launched forward.

His little teeny double-barreled gun is one of the most commonly lost accessories in Transformerdom.

He was only available packed in with the monstrous Trypticon, along with Brunt.

This mold was also used to make Gigascouter.

• More information on Full-Tilt at TFU.info

Platinum Edition

• Trypticon (Platinum Edition, 2015)

• Accessories: "Electro-disruptor" pistol

Platinum Edition Trypticon is a straightforward reissue of his original toy. Both Brunt and Full-Tilt are included along with all his electronics, including the motorized walking gimmick.

Full-Tilt is mostly, if not completely identical to his original toy.

This set was released in Japan through TakaraTomy Mall under the USA Edition banner as a lucky draw prize.

Titans Return

They remembered me!

• Decepticon Necro & Decepticon Full-Tilt & Trypticon (Titan Class, 2017)

• Accessories: "Necro" Titan Master, twin-barrleed pistol
• Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro), Shogo Hasui (TakaraTomy), Hirofumi Ichikawa (detailing), Mark Maher (deco artist)

A Deluxe-sized Full-Tilt figure was released in the Titans Return toyline, a faithful and fully-articulated re-make that transforms into his original Cybertronian car form. However, his robot-mode head is now formed by the Titan Master Necro, who can sit inside Full-Tilt's vehicle mode.

And just like the original toy, he can also form Titans Return Trypticon's chest armor.

Full-Till was only available packed in with the Titan Class Trypticon. The package bio describes Trypticon himself and Necro, but makes no mention of Full-Tilt. Poor guy just can't catch a break, can he?

This mold serves as the model for Sureshot in the Legends comic.

Legends

• Dinosaurer (Trypticon) (Titan class, 2017)

• ID number: LG43
• Release date: August 26, 2017
• Accessories: Headmaster, gun

Released in the twentieth wave of TakaraTomy's Legends toyline, Full-Tilt is a mostly unchanged rerelease of the above Titans Return Full-Tilt, using black screws instead of silver.

Once again, he was only available packed in with Trypticon.

While the toys are identical to the Hasbro Titans Return figure above, Necro is established in Legends as Full-Tilt, making the headless Deluxe-sized toy his transtector.

Generations Selects

Aaaaand I’m back to being all purple (or should I say pink?).

• Trypticon (Titan Class, 2025)

• Accessories: Twin-barreled pistol
• Known designers: Evan Brooks (Hasbro), Amy Bence (packaging)

Generations Selects Full-Tilt is largely the same as the previous releases, but cast in the same adjusted purple plastic shade as Trypticon's and minus any paint applications aside from those on the tire rims, visor, and gun. The deco on Full-Tilt's gun is taken from a very specific closeup pan shot of Trypticon from Call of the Primitives. Full-Tilt's car headlights are swapped out of the box, but this is easily fixed by popping them off and switching them back.

Merchandise

As Full-Tilt is a fairly major part of the original Trypticon's visual design, naturally most any merch of Trypticon features Full-Tilt. However, we will only list Trypticon merchandise here that has Full-Tilt as an actual separate piece, not just a chunk of Trypticon's torso.

Transformers Gum

• Dinosaurer (1986)
  • Accessories: Large tower, small tower, 2 tank treads, laser cannon, Full-Tilt

A snap-together model kit of Trypticon was available as part of the fifth wave of Kabaya's Transformers Gum candy toy series. A much-shrunken version of the original Trypticon toy, the kit transforms into something of a cross between city and battle station modes, and still comes with all the pieces to make Brunt, as well as a non-transforming car mode Full-Tilt. Molded from black, red, and grey plastic, Trypticon has stickers for detail rather than paint operations, and came with a stick of gum.

Transformers Trading Card Game

Blokees

• Trypticon (Galaxy Version, 2025)

• Series: Galaxy Version 09 - Darkest Hour
• Pull rate: 1/9
• Accessories: Spare balljoint piece, Full-Tilt figurine

The Trypticon kit from the ninth wave of Blokees' Galaxy Version blindbox kits includes a tiny gray Full-Tilt figurine. Full-Tilt can store behind the opening hatch on Trypticon's chest, amusingly right behind the sculpted version of his own vehicle mode.

Notes

• Neither the Transformers Gum nor Blokees Galaxy Version Metroplex model kits include any of his smaller partners. It's not a big win for Full-Tilt, but he'll take what he can get.
