Maybe like how the Japanese treated Fort Max, maybe Metroplex's battle station mode could instead be used as a battleship mode. ;)

I can see it as a land-based mobile airfield, even a spacefaring vessel, but a seafaring aircraft carrier is something that seems unconvincing to me.

Aw come on. It's just about as good as those three boat bits from Tidalwaaaave. ;)

Between those three variations, this, and the various Classics Seaspray variants... we're getting a pretty good fleet o' boats.

Now. Where is our triple changer aircraft carrier, Hasbro?? Another possible Titan class for you? Crossover USS Flagg?

That's different: he was intended to be a ship in the first place.

Now we get to see the color differences between the Hasbro and Takara version of Metroplex. Hasbro's is more pearl white and Takara's will be off white. Honestly, I prefer Hasbro's paint job this time round.

I meant like a space battleship, like how Fort Max's battle station mode was repurposed into. ;)

Wait, is the figure we're looking at in these teasers the Takara version? I assumed it was a prototype, what with the lack of black and the yellow stripes indicating landing zones that was previously seem on the model at Toy Fair.

This piece looks amazing.

I've, more or less, given up on HasTak in general. I wasn't a fan of the changes to their products over the last couple years so I stopped buying them.

However, this can bring me, and others like me, back into giving HasTak another chance...

...Unless, of course, this IS an SDCC exclusive. That would be a fail moment in my eyes.

We never said that. There will be a general release and a SDCC repaint/repackage. I know, the original announcement was badly worded...

He's at it again! TFYuki continues with his Transformers Generations Titan Class Metroplex teasers. Here he's seen with G1 Metroplex in robot mode, who only comes up to the upcoming figure's knees!

Please I hope what im seeing is some knees that are able to bend on Big Metroplex :-? That would be a huge plus if he could do that. Still might buy him though.

What's the point of showing teasers of a figure that has already been photographed by the public at a major toy show ?

Because those pics did not do a good job of showing just how MASSIVE this guy is going to be. These pics do.
