I just noticed that Metroplex doesn't seem to have foot articulation. While he doesn't necessarily have to have a ball-joint ankle (might be unfeasible due to size and weight), but I'd like to see some ability to pivot the front section of his foot like Year of the Snake Omega Supreme so he doesn't look so clunky when doing a "fighting" pose with his legs spread apart.

Generations Metroplex is suppose to be a updated version of G1 Metroplex right and not Fall of Cybertron right?

IIRC, he's strangely being marketed as FoC Metroplex, but is designed as an updated GI Plex.

IMO, it's for the best, as his FOC alt mode looks pretty lazy.

Here's a fan-made pic of it:

It's not the most accurate rendition, but it's all I can find. The saddest thing is that even the fan drawing has more transformation going on, with open decks and stuff.

Or if you have the game, take note in the very beginning of Chapter 2--he's in the background in alt mode. There's also an image of his alt mode on the monitor in the Dinobots' locker room. Just have Optimus sit on the chair and surf some channels.

His toy bio seems to pin him down best as being IDW G1 Metroplex more than anything.

In all the pics Ryan and Duque took, I don't see the words "Fall of Cybertron" anywhere on the packaging. Though, I do see IDW Deluxe Bumblebee standing on his shoulder.

His helmet looks like a dog.

I was thinking that too; it looks like he's wearing one of these, except the giant robot version:

My bad. I kind of got it into my head that it was supposed to be FOC Metroplex when in the earlier posts, a lot of the comments mentioned FOC in the same sentence when talking about the toy.

Actually, I'm surprised they didn't go for the FOC design, seeing as how much simpler his transformation is.
