Hi, guys been at this one for awhile now, glad to get him finally finished. This is my version of Metroplex. I have given him a bunch of articulation through out, toe tilts, knees front to back as well as a slight inward bend, plus hips and waist and shoulders, bi-ceps, elbow and fingers...and neck. He is made from Cybertron Metroplex, G1 Metroplex, hftd insecticons parts( you can't seem em

armada unicron, I think thats it. Panel edged, and weathered and a mud wash added to the lower half of his legs, cause lets face it a city-bot strolling around earth is gonna make some mud puddles in his wake

Sixgun is made from the original parts and a gundam mrk II kit. Slammer was made from a PCC Heavy Tread and g1 skids stickers added.Scamper is from RTS Wheeljack and his head is from TFTM Salvage. All have been panel lined,and edged and then sealed with a few couts of semi-gloss clear coat. Hope you like him, thanks for looking. Comments welcome

That's not only a cool Metroplex, it's also cool that you rebooted his sidekicks.

I was always more excited by all of the little extra figures the cities came with than the cities themselves, so I dig the attention to Scamper, Slammer, and Six-gun. They look great!

Thanks man, I also liked everything that went along with the city-bots too, but I also liked the city-bot especially metroplex. I loved the episode where the cons steal his eye for unicron.

Thanks man, honestly over a month but I also put out a bunch of smaller customs in between.

Wow, you're selling these guys? I'd love to own them, but I'm betting they're probably well out of my price range (not that they're not totally worth it, because from looking at them, I'm certain that they are).

Still, I probably will shoot you a PM just to see.

Holy. Crap. =P~

One of the best customs I've seen in a LONG time. Not only is Metroplex one of my favorite toys from G1, but he's done really well here. I also love the love given to his drones, it makes them real distinct characters in their own right. The only even SLIGHT constructive criticism I might offer is that Six Gun's waist/torso seems a touch too elongated compared to the rest of his body. Other than that, though...absolutely well done. My hat is off to you :APPLAUSE:
