The way I see it, only Series 1 is Fall of Cybertron. Series 2 is the 30th Anniversary of the brand, starting with the IDW Deluxes, Triplechangers and Metroplex. Springer in fact seems to take cues from his Last Stand of the Wreckers appearance.


But unlike Blitzwing and Springer, Metroplex appears (and has a major role) in FoC. They may package him in Generations packaging, but I'm going to consider it a FoC figure and display it as such. Although it could just as easily be part of a "CHUG" display.

Metroplex's toy design is completely oriignal, being based on no existing media version. however, his toy bio seems to recall IDW Metroplex more than any other version, so he's most likely that one.

Springer is straight up IDW Springer in design, and his bio will likely reflect this.

Blitzwing, like Metroplex, also seems to be an original design, so it will take his toy bio to decide who he is (but I'm willing to bet he's also gonna be some G1 version of the guy).
If you've read Exodus, wanna read the War For Cybertron comic? PM me.
