Too bad I don't have space for him/my girlfriend will never let that in the apartment.



Maybe if I rearrange the collection and put the MPs elsewhere... The unpainted face is a disappointment, but othewise...DANG, is he impressive!Too bad I don't have space for him/my girlfriend will never let that in the apartment.Maybe if I rearrange the collection and put the MPs elsewhere...

Amazing pics dude. I have a question. Do any deluxe sized figures fit on the surfaces of Metroplex? I see you have Sideswipe rolling out of the edge of the track in base-mode. Does he actually fit further in? He is small for a deluxe, so was curious. Posted by MINDVVIPE on July 4th, 2013 @ 3:23pm CDT

Six months to a year for the developmental phase, then another six to pump them out and get them ready for shipping.



Just an educated guess, nothing more. Six months to a year for the developmental phase, then another six to pump them out and get them ready for shipping.Just an educated guess, nothing more. Posted by Mindmaster on July 4th, 2013 @ 3:51pm CDT

I am betting that Metroplex will be repainted into Fort Max. Posted by LOST Cybertronian on July 4th, 2013 @ 3:52pm CDT

While I welcome such a move, I'd much rather see a Decepticon counterpart come out first: more specifically, Metroplex's rival, Trypticon. In the same size in height, please.



If they do indeed retool this into Fortress Maximus, I ask that they retool the head for the Headmaster-ception gimmick and also make his corresponding rival, Scorponok.

Has a toy roughly his size actually been significantly repainted by Hasbro in recent years? I'm talking genuine new decos, not color variants or new stuff added.

I always had a soft spot for Metroplex when Iwas a kid and seeing this new figure, well I know I was right to love that autobot!



It was about damn time Metroplex would hit the Generations toys line! Of course, now, we NEED a Trypticon update like Metroplex got!



If this figure gets a re-deco, it will surely be Metrotitan.



Having a Generations Fort Max would be amazing too, and he would maybe regain his title as the biggest Tf ever made.. by towering Metroplex by a foot or two... Posted by Deathscythetransform on July 4th, 2013 @ 4:30pm CDT

Could I get a little help here guys?

I'm really not sure which one is best to get-Hasbro or Takara?

See, I prefer the Takara deco, (chrome, extra gun) and being in UK, I'd order from Kapow toys, which at the moment has both for roughly the same price (just £5 difference)



BUT



Have we seen anything to suggest Takara's comes with all the stickers? I LOVE all those stickers and it may sound a bit crazy to some but if TT's doesn't have them...well



Thanks if anyone knows Posted by hinomars19 on July 4th, 2013 @ 4:54pm CDT

I can't see why the sticker sheet wouldn't be in the takara version.. Posted by Deathscythetransform on July 4th, 2013 @ 5:04pm CDT

That ramp bugs the hell out of me.



I can see them not putting a launcher inside but they flat out neutered it with that wall at the top of the ramp so you can't roll a figure in and out of the tunnel. I don't get the thinking behind that. Posted by RiddlerJ on July 4th, 2013 @ 6:24pm CDT

Doubtful that (if he is done) Trypticon will be the same height. His T-Rex mode would make him quite a bit longer which would translate to him being a bit shorter to keep the weight and costs down.

But he looks terrible with Deluxes. I think Metro deserves legend scale and smaller, just to get the right impression of how BIG Metro is supposed to be. I know the original Metro (G1) didn't exactly make room for Optimus and the bigger guys - you were supposed to pose him with BB and his tiny counterparts.



Just sayin', the deluxes standing there make Metro look silly...

Agreed on all 3 points, lol. The painted face made me want to go TakaraTomy. On the other hand, I love the chest sticker featuring my boy UM, Prime, Arcee, BB. It made Metroplex more 3D. I think TTomy is all solid red. Then the lack of space. I got away with FMax as he's now hidden inside the closet so the wife is okay with that. Agreed on all 3 points, lol.
