So was there any mention of a six gun ?

Wow! didn't see this coming. looks amazing!

I'm totally on the wall with this one, while leaning towards a simple "pass". Namely because when it comes to the Autobot/Cybertron portion of my collection...

1) He does not fit in the Japan exclusive Commander sub-category (as the original debuted in Scramble City: Mobilization and became an Earth Commander in The Headmasters).
2) It has not been confirmed that TOMY will add him to their own "Generations" line.
3) I already own the "Encore" reissue of Metroflex.
4) TOMY hinted* that the "Fall of Cybertron" incarnations tied to their Generations line are tied to their G1 reboot (i.e. "ALL SPARK").
5) And yet, this incarnation of Metroplex appears to be tied to IDW's own G1 reboot, instead of a continuation of "FoC" versions of existing characters.

[*: I have all the Kerokero Ace issues that include "ALL SPARK." So nyah!]

However... I will not rule it out quite yet. That, and hightly recommend it to fans of the IDW/G1 fanbase. (Meanwhile... This is making me rething about praying for a G1 reissue of Metrotitan. But I doubt I will want him.)

this is a buy on the spot. getting three of them. one for myself and the other 2 will stay in boxes and be sold in 20 years

its just beautiful

You can bet that Takara will release their own version of it (and that it will likely have more paint). That's the version I'll buy if they do. I don't buy any Hasbro Generations figures any more, just Takara (TG) and this will be no exception.

I'm sure it's just on a delay compared to the US release just as Blaster and Grimlock were.

Same here. The "Classics" Grimlock, "Generations" Thundercracker, and "Bot Shot" Optimus were the only three I had purchased. And the first two had botched paint jobs, with all three having some kind of loose articulation. Thundercracker was the worse. So I ended up strictly sticking with TOMY regardless if I am buying for my permanent collection or temporary/loose collection.

But also, I agree with you that they will release it. However, my gut is telling me that when they do... They might pull a "UNITED" and place these into a completely new (anniversary-based?) line. And if they do, I am hoping it is so they can cap off their Generations line with what is shown in ALL SPARK. .....

SO!........... WTF is a matter with you that's the most awesome metroplex toy yet

Awww, damn >.<

I just recently canceled my Fot Max pre-order so I could hasten my savings for a trip, and then this guy is reported. Booo! Lol. Was thinking of taking some of the Fort Max cash to put towards an MP, since most seem to be under $100, but I might put it towards this guy instead, if I can manage it with my vacation fund needing desperate attention.... and it doesn't turn out to be an all but impossible to find TRU exclusive *grumbles*

Well, since it's being called FoC Metroplex, I expected FoC Metroplex.

I'm still getting this one, but if they make an actual FoC Metroplex (or if a third party does) I'll be all over that too (and that's what I'd rather have honestly).

This one fits in well with Classics/Generations, but not so much WfC/FoC.

Supposedly this won't hit until 2014 (for the 30th anniversary) so you should have plenty of time.
