On the eve of Toy Fair 2016, zmultiplier on Weibo has given us the full artwork image for Titans Return Alpha Trion.
As seen in this photo, A-3 is done up in his traditional color scheme, and is wielding an impressive blade. We also see his Titan Master head uniting with his body, and it’s made very clear here that at least one of his alternate modes has a high probability of being a beast.
Take a look after the break – and stay tuned, as the full toy itself may very well be revealed soon…

Still waiting for a new video.
SG Roadbuster
love Thew's reviews.

I could see this working from Sky Lynx working too. Even if Sky Lynx doesn't have a robot mode/torso mode could work.

Just to ask anyone else you think a possible Catilla/Smilodon resold from this figure?

That's actually quite a unique character having of all things a horse mode here.

"WE WILL GET YOU!" said Prool.
So Dropshot looked inside his very own arm, and found rocket pod and double bazooka and a machine gun and other side rocket pod and his and his other more bigger gun.
"AUTOBOTS! YOU WILL BURNT!" Dropshot shouted to him and fired all his bullets really fast.
(That was a reference)

Really though it only became SG Alpha Trion like a year after its release. It's biggest appeal has been that its the only transforming Alpha Trion we had.

Oh wow, that design is awesome! I think Alpha Trion tops the list of my most anticipated characters to come out of Titans Return, well except Sentinel Prime of course. Of course that is also hard to say considering all the wonderful figures we're getting.

I actually doubt it devalues Botcon AT – that's Shattered Glass AT, technically, and as it doesn't have giant lion shoulders anyway or the headmaster gimmick requirement, I don't see that guy dropping in value anytime soon.
Enh…I'd rather Snapdragon before Dropshot.
T-Hybrid
But Titans is a combo G1/IDW thing.
Rakzo
Pretty much. That's his IDW incarnation.

Isn't Dropshot officially – as far as Classics/Generations or whatever is concerned – the tan/brown redeco of Cyb. Def. Scattorshot from 2008 that popped up in AHM (only to get the tar beaten out of him by Kup)?
T-Hybrid
Okay…so random.
I was digging around for info about Triple Changers, and I stumbled upon a guy named "Dropshot"
Apparently he was a cancelled G1 Triple Changer that had a horse mode and a jet mode.
….So that'd make for an interesting repaint/retool option for Alpha Trion.

One thing I'm really hoping (and sorry to sellers but) is that this figure devalues the Botcon one. I still really want that set. An inevitable Wierdwolf will probably devalue it further.
Technically no. The 3h one was never released at all (and doesn't count), Alpha Traizer
and thus not Alpha Trion, and there IS the mini Alpha Trion that came with TT's Legends Ultra Magnus. So really this is just the first transformable Alpha Trion to be released by Hasbro as a non-exclusive. They got beaten to non exclusiveness by TakaraTomy and since there's only one actual Botcon Alpha Trion released, the majority are actually not Botcon exclusives

Is it me or do TR Alpha Trion and TR Scourge have the same face? The noses look a bit different, but it could be the artwork.
Lord Dcast
You know, this makes me angry for missing out on the 3P one.
GotBot
Beautiful and LOONNGGG overdue. Alpha Trion? Yes, please, TOTALLY in for this one!
Autovolt 127
Alpha Trion looks very majestic.
I would love that.
It blows my mind that up until now every officially released transformable Alpha Trion was a BotCon exclusive.

Thundertron's only a repaint away, no remolding required
Raiyuki
I still say Lio Convoy is the most likely retool. Thundertron is much more obscure and would likely be relegated to a FunPub figure (and he'd be worked into their fiction easily since Cannonball's already there). Lio Convoy's a much more prominent character, plus Hasbro actually seems to like doing him (granted his figures were all Leobreaker retools but still). Takara did Lio from Thundertron as well so they'd probably release him too.
