Oh it's nice you can 3D print your own stands! You could recreate the Throne of Chaos concept easily.

As for the missiles, good riddance.
Those are a pain and are too easily lost. Plus in order for the thing to look right, the thing must have its missiles charged. Missiles that can easily fly off at the slightest touch if those are spring-loaded.

The only missiles I tolerate are the friction-based ones. Those require quite a lot of physical force to fly so no accidental launches.

I'm still torn on Scorponok/Black Zarak... Is he a "must have"? I don't really care for the character as my transformers memories stop pretty much at the end of G1 Season 3 (although in all reality it's season 2 + the movie ).

G1 Fort Max is obviously a childhood treasure of mine. Titans Returns Trypticon was bought because my kiddo loves transformers and dinos. The ark was purchased because it was stupid cheap when I ordered it. Siege Omega Supreme and Unite Warriors Devastator were easy/obvious picks for me.

Yea... Dunno... Worried I'll regret not picking him up when the price skyrockets... But when is enough enough?

"Enough" is never enough!

If you feel no attachment for a character, just skip it. Especially for hulking Titans.

But one that I do recommend and will be a lot of fun for the kids is Legacy Metroplex.
Look up for the inevitable Black Friday / Cyber Monday sale at Amazon.com.

Ha! When your looking at storage containers you may have enough...

I have no feeling for that version of Metroplex, but I'm guessing he's got some good gimmicks/playability?

Yeah, Legacy Metroplex is fun to handle, have TWO bot modes, and all that ratchetty goodness is awesome.

As soon that it's on sale, get him.

Anyone here have the third party Unicron and an opinion on him?

For this, you should go to the 3P forums.

Regardless, there's plenty of video reviews around.

How big is Sky lynx's footprint? Like, how much room on a shelf would I need?

Not the description I would use, but to each their own...




I was one of the ones that got Metroplex for $117.00. I'm glad I didn't pay any more, and if space does ever become an issue, he will be the first Titan to go. Right now he is just standing straight up on top of a shelf in my sons room, using his weapon as a cane to keep him up.

The base would be about the same as a Titan, but obviously much shorter. Still it depends if you want him with wings, tails etc. fully splayed out, or separated between Bird and Lynx mode, or as compact as possible.

Video reviews are your friend.
Especially Emgo's who's always making comparisons with other toys.

Ha! Poor Metroplex needs to do some deadlifts!

I was just wondering if Sky lynx could fit in between Omega Supreme's legs, with his tail folded up, and wings splayed out in front of Omega'a legs. Shelf is 12” deep.

Thanks!

Huh, look what I found:

Well, Skylinx Will NEVER fit between Omega's legs (or any titan). The only one that Skyling could fit under is HASLAB Unicron.

Huh, I guess the photo I found is doctored or something...

The photo you found shows Sky Lynx in front of Omega and Jetfire while Omega is also standing at a higher elevation, there's no doctoring at play here.

I was referring to the width of sky lynx's hops to the inside of Omega's legs...

As owner of both, it doesn't work. Only his tail can fit.

Darn... Thanks!

Can you please tell me if both fit on a shelf in this and look good?

Omega and Skylinx would look nice together in a cubicle, but only in bot mode. To enjoy the base modes, it's way too small.
You'll need something twice as large to have a display that makes sense for large Transformers. These shelves would be perfect for expensive anime/comics statues, but for Transformers? Not so much.

Would it be too much to ask for a good photo of Omega and Sky Lynx together?

I already own Omega, and I have Sky Lynx pre-ordered. I'm just wondering if I have enough room.

I can get on it, but not before tonight.

Greetings All,

Well The Nemesis arrived today from Amazon. Pretty solid transformation, and cool design overall. A few parts dont always tab in quire right, but thats par for the course nowadays.

But, more than that, I just wanted to take a cool picture of all 12 of the Titans Together. For those of you wondering... NO I do not have the Guardian Robot. While it is based on my favorite TF (an Titan toy), the fact that it was a drone/troop builder meant I wasn't compelled to get one.

I've seen those of you that have multiples of the Guardian, and are making some awesome displays. I totally respect that. But Ive just never been into troop builders. 2 factors could *possibly* sway me though...

1. It goes on sale for 1/2 price... and
2. What 2024's Titan is revealed to be

Especially if it is a Decepticon, then the balance would need to be restored. I would probably make The Guardian some variation of Omega Sentinel, in that case.
