Dedicated pegs and pegholes are found for this configuration, I apologize if this was documented before on the release of the toy and request evidence that it was
I have to tell the truth, it's actually the first time I'm hearing of this.
Looks a really cool feature.
It's really a shame thinking about how many features and gimmicks removed from Metroplex to make Fortress.
Apart from the double headmaster gimmick and the turrets that can become guns, Fortress barely has nothing particular for play.
Really, think about it:
Metroplex has:
-hidden turret in the shoulder
-hidden turret in the arm
-platforms hidden in the kneecaps
-shoulder cannons that can become guns
-gun that can become shoulder cannon
-hidden repair arm in battle station mode
-city quarters in the legs in the city mode
-ramp in the chest
-chest unfolds for the helicopter platform
Fortress has:
-secret compartment in the arm
-chest panel with hidden turret
-legs cannons that can become guns
-double headmaster gimmick
they could at least leave the cannon in the arm (that would still be canon with Metroplex) and some stickers for the city quarters in the legs. It's sad that they "gimmicked" the mold down, making him just basically a big action figure.
I got it becuase I missed the first release of Metroplex, and I wanted at least one version of the mold, but it wasn't such a very fun toy to play with, especially with the transformations.
Trypticon is a lot more fun toy.
