So metroplex is not to scale with the deluxe generations figures?

Yeah I did this once.. Need to find the pix but I transformed Max and had all of my SCF PVC figs (Japanese versions of HOC) around him and it looked cool and proper scale.

He's only two inches taller than Fort Max. ;)

There are actual pictures of FOC Metroplex's city mode?

A Metroplex toy correctly scaled to the Deluxe class toys would have to be at least twenty feet tall. :KREMZEEK:

Hell yes I agree-gree! FM could totally spear Metroplex then just roll him over and sit right on his back...done! :P


The powers that be would be fools not to create a Titan Class Trypticon...hello HasTak...nemesis...? :VEHI:

Well, I never had the original Fort Max, nor do I care much for the character beyond IDW's comics.

And in any event, 2" will probably be more significant then we might assume. Only time will tell.

Also, I measured my tallest TF shelf, and 'Plex wouldn't fit on it. It's just over 6" too short!

Me neither.

The Encore one coming in a few will be my first time owning one of the Holy Grailiest of all TF figures. :lol:

I'm with ya, Weweweweli...wellwellwelli...Dude. ( :lol: J/K, li'l ol' me).

I'm with ya, Wewyllenium. My consolation is that he won't be in alt mode on my shelf. He's just too damn BIG!!! He might even have to find a spot on my floor. :roll:

Same here Maximo. This will remain as a robot in my shelf and that's because I could not see how its alt modes can fie :D

Also I sure hope the plastic they'll use would not be like the plastic used on GIJoe reissued toys such as that on Wolf Hound. Please don't be cheap Hasbro/Takara Tommy.

Such a tease! TFYuki has posted another teaser image of Generations Metroplex with Encore Fortress Maximus. This image shows off Metroplex's light-up eye feature.

I dont get the purpose of the teaser images.
Wasnt the WHOLE FAWKING BOT revealed at Toyfare a few montrhs back? The pictures are all over Google, even the base mode.

Anyway, I'm still looking forward to buy him for my Cyberverse display. I do hope this will be for a real a nd true WIDE release. Not some TrU exclusive bullshit.

I think they're just to tease the actual height of the figure vs Fort Max.

Not so, they're apples and oranges. They're both big and that's about it. They're designed for different audiences.

IMHO, I always found Fort Max to be a more appealing guy than Metroplex. Even before I started reading TF comics, Fort Max just seemed to have so much more going for him. Here's a rundown of all the things I saw each had going for them:

Metroplex
  • Large guy
  • Citybot
  • Battle Station mode
  • Slammer, Scamper, and Six-Gun

Fortress Maximus:
  • Large guy
  • Citybot
  • Battle Station mode/Battleship Maximus (Japan only)
  • Double Headmaster
  • Master Sword (Japan only)
  • Autobot Headmasters Commander
  • Autobot Supreme Commander (Japan only)
  • Pacifistic idealist
  • Binary-bonded to well known human ally Spike Witwicky (certain versions)
  • Gasket and Grommet --> Cog

Now, granted, I'm still very far behind in reading the IDW G1 comics, so Metroplex may come to wow me in that continuity. But as of now, the most this new Titan class Metroplex toy has over Fort Max IMO is both his height (two inches taller than Max) and his modern-day articulation.

Metroplex is fantastic, don't get me wrong, but Fort Maximus nails it when it comes to badassery, articulate or not.

I'm more of a Metroplex guy myself, but Fort Max is not in any definition, stupid.

I'm excited to see the review of this guy!!
