It does seems pretty sweet but it begs the question: why not just make it Metroplex? Seriously, has Optimus stumbled upon a 200 foot tall version of himself sticking out of the desert sands on Prime, ala Planet of the Apes or something? With so many baseformers throughout their rich history, this just seems like a lost opportunity to me. >:oP

This. And the answer is simple. Optimus sell. Prepare yourself for a Bumblebee version.

I just saw the video and it confirm my idea. This thing look totally lame and derpy. It's just a big empty frames with lots of holes in it. What's the point? At least, the DotM Cyberverse Ark looked like something solid in both modes. I got it on sale and I don't regret it.

If I see Optimus Maximus on clearance for 15$, I may just buy it, but never for more.

The Optimus one I could understand and even see why it would be fun but that? Not with a stolen d!ck.

OP is getting a white paint job and all the Metroplex parts Shapeways can make for me. I really wish I knew how tall it was in inches to see how well it would fit in with Classics.

I am sure someone, somewhere would have probably mentioned this comparison.

I keep on thinking of the Gobots powersuit (I think that's the name for it). Each gobot would wear a harness and make up the limbs, while the main controller of the suit is in the middle within a spaceship.

Because Metroplex isn't Optimus Prime or Bumblebee.

What these establish is that we could have had some cool Apex Armor for Starscream. But we don't. And we probably won't.

But maybe. Just maybe.

As far as the Optimus and Bumblebee suit things, I doubt I'd take one if it was free.
