It's alt mode would have to be the size of a small house, and bot mode would have to be about 100 feet tall. In the game, he holds Optimus in his hand and Optimus is smaller than one single joint of one of Metroplex's fingers.

If they made a Metroplex to scale with Cyberverse, again figuring it has to be big enough to crush OP with one finger, its bot mode would have to be twice the height of a human and its' alt mode would have to be the size of a car.

If you want other TF characters to be in scale with this new Metroplex, you'd have to make them yourself by painting their likenesses on grains of uncooked rice.


This, so much. I knew we were a whiny fanbase, but when you complain about Metroplex of all robots not being big enough, you've been drinking a little too much. Metroplex will never be in precise scale with any Deluxe, Voyager, Legion, Masterpiece, or otherwise.

First of all, nobody is proposing a Metroplex that is in scale with either MPs or anything else. We're discussing a hypothetical Fortress Maximus in this scale, as per this comment:
KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:No matter. All I know is that they can eventually consider making a Masterpiece sized version of Fort Max. But until that day comes, we have them making this big boy.

I pointed out the absurdity of a Fort Max in that scale, possibly misinterpreting his intent because re-reading that, and in light of the resulting discussion, I think he meant a Masterpiece QUALITY Fort Max rather than one in scale with the MPs. I think we all recognize that a correctly scaled MP Fort Max or Generations Metroplex would be ludicrously large and impossible to sell. Nobody is actually complaining about him not being in scale.

You made mention to his "fudged" scale and that you didn't mind. My argument was that nobody should mind or not mind in the first place; his scale will always be "fudged." I worded the middle of the paragraph wrong, but it was more of "why are we discussing the scale of Metroplex" rather than "stop complaining about his scale."

The reason I "don't mind" is precisely because I know that getting a to-scale Metroplex is about as likely as all of us simultaneously winning the lottery. The guy is ginormous and I love it, scale be damned. Please don't misinterpret my saying I "don't mind" his "fudged" scale to mean that I have any expectation of one that IS in scale. I no more expect citybot toys to be in scale with the smaller guys than I do Unicron. Sorry for any confusion.

Is anyone wondering why Metroplex doesn't more look like his FOC counterpart and why does he have to be a toy for the smaller scale transformers. Think about it. I would rather have him just as an awesome oversized transformer than a play set. I like the larger scale TF's like the deluxe and voyager. Scale aside. I dont really care about scale. Anyone agree?

Glad to hear it. Because the #1 thing I love bringing is accuracy. That way, if I fumbled a fact... You, Sabr, or Jelz, or somebody else can point me to the right series or site. That, and hope to keep the names and facts tied to the names to their appropriate continuities. ;)

Because in the end... It makes figuring out how to start a collection, develop the collection, and have reasons to why the collection is set up that way somewhat interesting to the non-fanbase. :lol:

Fall of Cybertron is old news now, time to move on. That's what Hasbro is saying at least. And consider Metroplex as an experiment, as a Transformer and Cyberverse playset in one. G1 Metroplex was originally designed for Combiners, did you know? Motormaster, Onslaught, Hot Spot and Silverbolt can connect to his City Mode, while the smaller members can attach to his robot mode shoulders and knees.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

I see Generations Metroplex here as being a nice blend of the FOC design and a G1 update. He is much more the latter, but he's got some hints of the former.

I've got no problem with Hasbro moving on, what I am trying to say is that I wish the bigger scale figures like the deluxes would have more interaction with bigger TF's than cyber verse. Also, why doesn't Hasbro just Mae a TRANSFORMER, and not a play set. That's what I am trying t get across. See what I mean?
