Pictorial Review: Transformers Generations Titan Class Metroplex with Scamper

WOW! THAT'S ONE BIG ASS MOTHA

Wonder how much he'll retail in store. Already seen some outrageous online prices.

MSRP $100, expect it to be bumped to $120-ish by TRU though.

So i have a question for those that have played F.o.C, if this what will be out for retail, and there are speculations saying the SDCC exclusive is a F.o.C game accurate Metroplex, what would be changed regarding colors? Now personally i'm still in the Metrotitan boat, but i would like to hear other opinions.

Yeah... if Metro goes for around $100-20, and we all agree he's worth more than that, then it's a sure thing that the prospectors will grab him and toss him on eBay instantly!

Did any of you guys try and grab that weekend Pikachu 3DS XL???? It was amazing to see how quick they hit eBay!!! It's so sad to see so many people willfully ruin children's Easters/Birthdays/childhoods/etc.

I don't see TRU carrying too many, as this will be a LARGE item. That said... man... I'm very nervous to see how this will play out...

Then again, that GIANT MILLENNIUM FALCON just sits on the shelves at TRU... But considering how many Falcon's we've already seen at retail, and this being the first G1 Metro since 198x...

I must get at least two,,, I have pre-ordered the Takara version already,,,any word on how to get the Hasbro version ?

This toy would not work for FOC Metroplex since FOC Metroplex has a significantly different body shape and appearance. Though both he an this toy are homages/modern updates to the G1 Metroplex design, they both resemble G1 Metroplex in very different ways. So much so they'd be better off making a whole new toy for FOC Metroplex.

To answer the question posed, it'll be a lot more medium-dark grey than white/light grey.

Ah dark gray, that makes a world of difference, I think.

Anyhow, to touch on what Sabrblade said, I do agree that while this figure is metroplex, its not F.o.C metroplex; which would make it all the more disappointing if the SDCC exclusive is metroplex in f.o.c colors rather than a counter part's (like metrotitan).

I don't know about the TRU's near you, but (other than masterpiece figures) all of the large scale toys just warm the shelves for a long long time. Like the most recent vader transformer, the chewy/solo falcon.. Both of the huge stupid looking movie bumblebees (sorry, "ultimate" is not a good word for that toy), the most recent unicron sat for a long long time..

Even large, non transforming toys sit for a while.. Like the stupid robot (kinda), talking bane, batman, iron man, and now superman..

and not only do these things not sell, but there are a bunch of them taking up lots of space.

Hopefully TRU doesn't start learning from its mistakes, and starts cutting orders of this thing because other larger toys aren't selling.

Kapow has this on pre-order for £155! I'd pay £80 tops.
