Metroplex

So...will there ever be any upgrade sets for Metroplex or along another line - would it be feasible that Hasbro might consider making a FOC Metroplex? They've done big toys in the past (Super Star Scream, etc...).

I just ordered the reprolable set for my Metroplex and was sitting here looking at him thinking, it would be easy enough to do some upgraded fists, weapons, etc.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if we see a FOC Metroplex and Trypticon playset in the Spring to go with the post-holiday reset. The voyagers will be switching over to Generations/FOC, as will legends, which leads me to believe that many of the other toy classes will convert to Generations/FOC as well.

Hasbro teased a FOC Metroplex, linking it to Hasbro's other $100 toys in other lines such as Mavel or Star Wars. If it comes to pass, cool. If not then it's a shame but I won't be broken up about it.

When did they do that? I know at one point they said they were considering a Trypticon, but didn't know how to make it work, what with him transforming into a astroid or something in WFC.

It was only a hint, nothing concrete, sadly. And Trypticon could transform into the Nemesis! :D

I'd love a Trypticon/space station-y thing-y/Nemesis, or even a Metroplex (that becomes a Cyberverse playset?) but doubt they'll happen. Will be pee my pants excited if it does, in theory, but not gonna worry about drinking a lot of fluids whilst reading the web just yet, ta very much.
