Buy a 2nd Metroplex in TRU and return it without the gun. It's probally gonna end up in the hands of some kid who would lose it anyway so screw him.

Last guy who suggested stealing a Mechtech weapon straight from the package... well, he met a nasty end at the hands of the mods

I mean it does not make me want to get it that much more, as I would prefer using the money on a MISB MP-8 Grimlock. So I guess for me, it should be more about brand devotion (if you do that) before the additional gun. Or, at the very least, treat the additional gun as a spare.

I guess it's because G1 Metroplex had guns, and this toy is supposed to be an update to the G1 character/design.KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:As for talks of a second gun, I also wonder what the point of him having a gun. Both his appearance in FOC and ALL SPARK did not show him with one. So why now?

In a way, there kind of already is... sort of. The All Spark manga promotes current toys like the Japanese Generations and Masterpieces (like with Lambor and Black Convoy).KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Or just simply an "ALL SPARK" toyline.
What I meant is, in Japan, Spike is not affiliated with Fort Max like how he is in the West, so the to of them being paired together wouldn't make as much sense in a Japanese context.RhA wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Not when Spike never bonded with Fortress in Japan.RhA wrote:Y'know?

I think it's safe to assume that he's IDW G1 Metroplex since the new "Thrilling 30" theme of Generations seems to be more heavily promoting the IDW G1 comics continuity.Mindmaster wrote:Well, it was never explicitly said what continuity this Metroplex belongs to, so we can assume it is meant to represent Generation One Metroplex, who, as everyone knows, had his two guns.

Yes, I know the Metroplex in All Spark is a version of the G1 character, but his using the FOC body design probably excuses him for not having to use guns.

Also, the TFWiki page lists Generations Metroplex as Generation One Metroplex.
It's still possible for him to do so at a later point.Mindmaster wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I think it's safe to assume that he's IDW G1 Metroplex since the new "Thrilling 30" theme of Generations seems to be more heavily promoting the IDW G1 comics continuity.Mindmaster wrote:Well, it was never explicitly said what continuity this Metroplex belongs to, so we can assume it is meant to represent Generation One Metroplex, who, as everyone knows, had his two guns.
Does Metroplex even appear in this body in the IDW comics?

I mean, they make a new toy for him in a line heavily promoting the IDW stuff, coming out at a time when Metroplex's species, the Metrotitans, are relatively important to the story. It makes sense when the pieces are put together.

So does OP, at least his blue parts. Sometimes (like with BH Shockwave) the shiny Takara finishes look better. But for these two little guys, I think it's out of place.
Sabrblade wrote:What's with TFSource's labeling these Fall of Cybertron figures? They're not.
Bee's Robot mode body design still originated from the video game, thus the toy can be repurposed into WFC/FOC Bee (as I imagine many will do since a near-Scout sized figure of the guy has been wanted since the Deluxe's large size was first shown).Sodan-1 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:But Bee was shiny in the FOC game.GuyIncognito wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Bumblebee looks shinier.

a cup of coffee at first, then some long walks in the park, eventually, on one special night, after a romantic meal and horse-carriage ride, he shows her his 3rd mode.
