people will use that head for a lot of customs i bet.

I love these for what they are... well, the robot modes at least. Given, the base mode loses in a comparison with ANY base mode from the 80s or 90s, even. But the detailing and head sculpt — and the playability, which is I think where these excel — are all fantastic.

BUT yeah. Here's hoping there is a game-accurate Metroplex coming up the pike. I will buy the crap outta that. Bigger the better. Hopefully someone has solved the drop test issue in the past decade. Repaint it and retool it as Metrotitan and Fort Max, too.

Seriously. I want an awesome, epic base toy... something more awesome than Supreme Cheetor. (groan) And something with more play value than Unicron or Primus (basketball) base modes. ie. No ramps, garages, launchers, turrets, trap doors, hidden panels, booby traps, wenches, windows, computer panels, cockpits, elevators, driver seats or the other play set gimmicks I remember from childhood. THOSE are what I want in a city-former.

Come on... this is metroplex. If this doesn't get a recolor, or an exclusive somewhere, I'm going to be very shocked.

Also, I would kill for a scourge/Nemesis Prime Redeco... they could even call it "Evil Mech Prime" or some shit.

If this gets repainted as Metroplex, I will weep openly. The bot mode and base mode both miss the mark, especially compared with the amazing visuals on the game.

no way. it has basically no articulation.

Yeah, I'm having Star Convoy flashbacks.

The base/vehicle mode actually gave me flashbacks to Energon Ironhide when he had it in profile. Wasn't too interested to begin with, but now I don't want anywhere near this thing.

Bring on more Cyberverse playsets that actually represent stuff from the show!

...no, it ios not. It's not even close to a cityformer. It's just a mech that sits down occasionally.

You're making me weep uncontrollably. Stuff like that in modernized cityformer TFs with modern tech would be... well, perfect.

Drop tests be damned, we need our supreme-class cityformers.
