Plasma bomb
There's a reason why Trypticon's the ultimate Decepticon warrior. He's the size of a city (most of the time), he's all kinds of powerful, and is essentially, a walking, talking arsenal. One of his myriad of devastating weapons include his heat-seeking plasma bombs which he shoots from his mouth. With them, he's able to reap all sorts of destruction before he's inevitably thrown into an ocean.

- The Transformers Trypticon came with a chromed weapon, labelled as a double-barreled blaster in his instructions, that could fit in his dinosaur mode mouth and was described as being able to shoot plasma bombs in his packaging bio.
- Trypticon was reissued in 2015 as part of the Platinum Edition line. This mold was also retooled, redecoed, and sold without accessories as Beast Wars II Gigastorm.
Notes
- Unusually for an introductory appearance in an early issue of the Marvel run intended to showcase Trypticon's abilities, in "King of the Hill!" neither his plasma bombs nor his particle beam cannon are called out in the dialogue or narration despite them being clearly depicted in the art; instead the issue highlights his use of sonic-scrambler mines, weapons that his toy does not have.
