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.)

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

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*

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

Now wait a minute. If I recall correctly, GRR did say, and I quote:GetRightRobot wrote:Showed us 30th anniversary logo which will start showing up on products in the Fall
Meaning that we may see them as early as September/October, just in time for the holiday season.
