Yes please!

Would love to see these protos stood next to Scamper...

EDIT: Here they are with Scamper and their upcoming Blaster/Ramhorn/Steeljaw. Slammer & Sixgun display well with Scamper!

My perfect Slammer would be scout-deluxe size, but I can live with a legends Slammer.

Can't say I really need or want my Titan Metroplex to be have all of it's 1986 accessories at those high 3rd party prices.

Would have bought them if Hasbro sold the titan metroplex accessories-bots at USA retail legends, commander and deluxe prices. Think Hasbro missed a market opportunity here.

I cancelled my large Six-Gun in favour of this set. I just think that it's better for Metroplex to have all of his companions to be about the same size.

TFSource preorders are up:

As is BBTS:

But a $55 price tag seems REALLY steep to me.

I dont like legends scale enough to start a 3rd party collection of them based around metroplex. It looks good. I wouldnt mind having one deluxe scale to display with my classics figures. But ive got enough cheap Hasbro legends figures to stand next to my metroplex. Im sticking with six sigma who is in my POL waiting for talon, salmore, and galvy.

I like these the best of all the Sixgun options... I'll probably pick them up down the line.

I'm so very happy that I decided to pass on that large Six Shot in favour of these two. Oh so very happy.

im finding it hard to resist buying just one set!

I want this set more than FP's Mindwipe right now...

by **Yotsuyasan** » Wed Nov 12, 2014 8:16 pm

While this is a good looking set, I am still partial to the somewhat more traditional take on Sixgun and Slammer that Before and After is offering... And these pics are just reminding me how much I can't wait to get my hands on that one! Only waiting on one more pre-order to come in so I can ship my Source Stack with free shipping... Oh, how I wish it would hurry up...

In the meantime, keep at it with the pics of this one! As I said, even if it isn't the one I plan on getting, it is still nice to look at!

But these? They're freaking adorable! While I agree that this hits the spot of cartoon accuracy, and having Sixgun & Slammer scale with Scamper, what clinches it for me is that Iron Factory's renditions have more playability with Metroplex as a play-set than with Metroplex as a figure.

That new dimension is really, really appealing for some reason. Plus, because what the IF set seeks to do is so different, I still might get the B&A set...

Couldn't have put it better myself. I'll definitely pick these guys up (once I get Metroplex). I might even pick up B&A or TFC Sixgun, headcanoning him as a sort of "mech suit" that the little Sixgun pilots.

In any case, more Legends scale stuff is always good. Always.

I've been waiting to put these on preorder, but finally did the other day. They're just too freaking cute, and will look great with Scamper.

Between the UT replacement head, IF Sixgun & Slammer, and the Reprolablels set, Metroplex will have enough sculpted and other detail to exceed my wildest dreams of what a Metroplex of this scale could actually be.

Not when it is $55 for two figures it isn't.

At least not for me.

I'm OK with the price. Not super-thrilled-excited, but OK.

One of those Takara legends-scale (note legends with a small "L") 2 packs are $40+ at one of the e-retailers. This set features two similarly scaled figures that are super poseable, PLUS, it come with a large assortment of accessories to make Metroplex appear like the mobile battle station he really is.

So, I'm satisfied. I can see where people would gawk at the price, though.
