Yep, he's going to be flippin' huge.

I find it odd that the flight deck is unpainted. Is this just a prototype?
Can't wait to see more of Metroplex.

They know better than to try anything while riding on Metroplex.

That's a big spot you're talking about.

And if they put out Metrotitan, even better. Holding my breath for that one. Would be a must-buy.
That said, maybe they'll do an SG Scorponok colored G1 Fort Max. LOL.

I guess SG Metroplex would be in Trypticon colors? Anyone do a mockup of that yet??

Full of win.

Weirdly, it's smaller than I was expecting.

Got any pics of it?gothsaurus wrote:If there's a good way to wrap two around each other — like I figured out for the original Metroplex

Yeah. Will try to pose a couple and post a pic. Tough to describe.

After seeing that pic, I so need to get a G1 Metroplex.

Maybe like how the Japanese treated Fort Max, maybe Metroplex's battle station mode could instead be used as a battleship mode.gothsaurus wrote:It's odd... but I DO get a real aircraft carrier vibe from this guy now. Strange that I didn't from the original. Maybe it's just the added length? That kind of adds a real third mode to me, instead of a forgettable battle platform robot-sitting-down 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.

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.

I meant like a space battleship, like how Fort Max's battle station mode was repurposed into.Mindmaster wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Maybe like how the Japanese treated Fort Max, maybe Metroplex's battle station mode could instead be used as a battleship mode.gothsaurus wrote:It's odd... but I DO get a real aircraft carrier vibe from this guy now.

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.

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...
