well metroplex might actually become bigger since i need to do the feets and there might be the need to make the legs a bit longer ....

NOW FOR THE HEAD ! ...the face changed again... it now less wide ...re-did the head completly (scrapped the last one but not the face...) and rebuilt it if you remember my previous builds you can recalled that i redid my heads countless time until i got it right....this is no different ... and now to put the best of both worlds... here is the picture without and WITH the VISOR !!!

Thing is prob almost big enough to fit on your own head.

You should take a pic with it on your shoulder next to your own head so people can see the size...

I actually like both with and without. Very nice.

And I noticed you've got an 'internal' look behind the mouth area inside the headpiece. Very creative stuff.

well the head is not that big ! 4 1/4 inch wide x 6 1/4 high by 5 inch deep....

new pics

is the visor a seperate piece that attaches to the face or does it slide down from the top of the brow?

thanks guys !!

well i must confess about the size of the head.... all was going well until i put on the antennas and shock !!!! the head was huge !!! the problem is that i mixed different measurements together of different figurines and toys and the result was that the head was more then 35% oversize.... the thing is that i've went with one figurine's head size while the chest piece were more of the size of the g1 toy.... a real $&$% mess lol but i've spent a couple of hours reworking the head.....and is more proportionate to he rest of th body... you'll see when i put the new antennas on ....that will level the size to perfection...... so here is the new head.... notice that it's not done yet since i have to rebuild most of the damn details on him.....

so here is take 2 ..... HOPE YOU LIKE IT !! LOL

That does look a lot more in proportion.

ok !! the long awaited update....

the head is almost done.... couple of items left to do but the antennas are there and NOT an easy thing to build.... allot of rounds parts with angles... thoses i really hate to do..... so let's see it !!

Thu Mar 08, 2007 5:02 pm

That won't work. He's using all of his vacation time to work on the figure!

:lol:

Fri Mar 09, 2007 2:52 pm

lol wel i havent used my vacations ... and i'll probably have to take a familly vacation since this is taking some serious time on my family time... but i have a very comprehensive wife !!!

as for what's next.... i dont know and i really dont think that i will be at this scale lol

I love that pic; all the little bits of different textures just make it look that much more real somehow.

Just out of curiosity, Mark, how long did you spend designing this monstrosity before you started mucking with the styrene?

well it was just an idea for the past 2 years... and the design only came when i actually started building him....

WST Micromasters? Don't sneeze!

ok small update !!! had production to do so i had to split my time.... and i'll take even more time for production starting monday so metroplex will slow down a bit....

so here are transformation sequence....

antennas will become towers and the rest of the head will go into the torso....

and suprise !!! look at this one !!! lol

headmaster ??? lol

Hate, to say it but I like the visor better, it just makes him look more like a huge juggernaut of power then the normal eyes, it dehumanizes his face since in the cartoon anyways he was more like a drone and less like a separate entity if I remember correctly.

Thu May 24, 2007 9:34 am

Is there still going to be updates? :?:

Thu May 24, 2007 12:12 pm

I think there is, but Mark's taken a bit of a hiatus from Metro to do some other stuff.

Sun Dec 09, 2007 9:13 pm

well i have an update !!

metroplex,s joints have finally ALL been changed.... and it has been a nightmare to do.... i had to change systems about 4 times.... but now it,s done !!! joint systems work great under stress and he,s also about 11/2 inch taller then before !! i,ve started working on the feets systems.... still allot of work to do... but this pic should keep you guys interested
