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?

The citybots have always been glorified playsets. They still have plenty of worth as Transformers in their own right, but interactivity with other, smaller figures was built in. This is not a recent phenomenon. The big difference now, as opposed to in 1987, is that there's a separate line of smaller-scale figures specifically made to interact more easily with playsets like the ships, battle stations, and larger robots. That said, this guy will still look gigantic next to a deluxe or voyager.

After thinking on it a little, I think I'll have to pass.

I don't collect anything smaller than a deluxe so he has no value to me as a playset, and I seriously have no space for such a large toy. At most, he'll be standing on a pedestal in a corner in permanent bot mode, as city mode will take up way too much space that my man-cave no longer has after my Hot Toys 1/6 scale Tumbler and bat-pod made it their new home.

The best way to make his city mode come to life IMO, is to craft in-scale Decepticon dropships and tanks and create a diorama of a 'Con assault. You'll also need a nice customized metal battlefield to display everything.

If only I had the space for this. :BANG_HEAD:

Regarding this particular bit, this toy isn't meant to be FOC Metroplex. His bio identifies him more closely resembling G1 Metroplex's IDW self.
If you've read Exodus, wanna read the War For Cybertron comic? PM me.

This is Sabrblade we're talking about. His ability to store trivial information about TV shows is downright superhuman.
