catan
Price around 400$
Size, same size (or a little big bigger) than omega supreme with mt add on kits.
Maybe will be the possibility to combine metroplex and omega supreme in base mode.

Not saying it doesn't look interesting... But Hasbro just released a fairly good representation of this character, in likely a larger scale and for likely a smaller price.
Of course, I'm one of those who is of the opinion that if Hasbro or Takara have already done (or there are indications that they soon will do) a character in the Classics line-up, unless their version is fairly universally seen as a complete fail (for example, Devestator) then the third parties should consider that figure to be hands off as far as doing complete toys. Third parties should stick to accessories/upgrades (such as Fansproject's City Commander, or what Maketoys themselves are doing with Omega Supreme), and save original mold full figures for characters that haven't been touched yet.
I suppose I'll keep an eye on this as a curiosity... If there was no official Metroplex, this is something that could have been cool. But my interest shall be the detached interest of someone with no intention of ever owning this product.

WuLongTi This is based purely on lining up the pattern on the floor in the pics. I've left the parts of each pic showing the floor for you to decide for yourselves.

I had a feeling this would be the case... And having a Metroplex that small just seems too out of scale with Classics style figures.
Not that scale is ever the most consistent thing in Transformers toys... but Metroples as a figure needs to be designed so that it can have interaction with other figures. He's not just a robot, he's a playset (or, "display accessory," for my fellow adult collectors) for your other figures it interact with.
G1 Metroplex, for example, worked really well scale-wise with G1 Minibots and/or Scramble City limbs. The Hasbto/Takara figure works really well with most Classics style toys. Legends, Scout, and smaller Deluxe figures probably look best, but even larger figures look pretty good when placed near him! I have a hard time thinking that a Metroplex as small as this one that Maketoys is producing will be able to pull off anything along these lines:
Rather, if you try and place this with your Classics collection, this figure will just stick out like a sore thumb for being so small compared to how it should be, especially in city or battlestation modes.
Hi Guys,
So a lot of us have been orphaned about the news that Planet X stop the develop of Trypty.
But...and i say but...
Maybe a 3p that just now show a white titan is work on it.
So stay tuned for news, photo and all...
PS
Maybe 4 mode, beast, base, starship and "humanoid" mode.

Ha ha... To be fair, one minor drawback to the large size is that, for where I display my Metroplex, city mode is all but impossible unless I take him down and play with him on the floor!
I had thought that for everyday display, he'd be limited to robot mode. Fortunately, I discovered that the space I had for him would actually accommodate his battle station mode, as well. And as an added bonus, that allows me to use his flight deck as a platform for other figures to give those in the back rows more visibility rather then have them mostly hidden by those in front of them!

Well, I have a live-in girlfriend, and it's also the main room of our apartment, so that helps for it to not be a total disaster.

This market is so niche. What are you doing MT?
