i never said it was G1 i said updated G1 as all the other generations toys are and your just repeating what i just said besides mis-quoting me about it being a G1 character which i did not so why you even made the comment is stupidSabrblade wrote:While it isn't FOC Metroplex, being a Generations toy doesn't make it automatically be a G1 character, as all the of the Generations figures from 2012 to today (excluding the GDO figures) have been FOC characters.Ultra Markus wrote:so who ever said this was a FOC Metroplex was confused

What makes this be a version of G1 Metroplex is not that it's a Generations figure, but that it's packing lack the FOC logo, its bio pins him down as being IDW G1 Metroplex, and his box art show other IDW G1 toy characters interacting with him.
If this did turn out to be FOC Metroplex, it wouldn't be of his Cybertronian body as seen in the game, but ratehr it would be a possible (and currently hypothetical) Earth Mode body for him. But alas, such isn't the case.
When you said that some thought it might be FOC Metroplex instead of G1 Metroplex, I took that as you referring to the character rather than the design. It's an easy mistake to make considering how they're two separate individuals, thus hardly making it "stupid".Ultra Markus wrote:i never said it was G1 i said updated G1 as all the other generations toys are and your just repeating what i just said besides mis-quoting me about it being a G1 character which i did not so why you even made the comment is stupid

you take a lot of things people say the wrong wayYou clearly did not understand what I wrote (though, I'll admit the typos didn't help).Ultra Markus wrote:"it wouldn't be of his Cybertronian body as seen in the game, but ratehr it would be a possible (and currently hypothetical) Earth Mode body"........ uh yeah right just like the other FOC characters which were sold as FOC and look like they were in the game, this is not....get a clue!
Look at this Metroplex toy and then look at the FOC Generations toys. The latter all resemble their game designs and so represent their pre-Earth Cybertronian bodies. BUT, unlike the former, Metroplex's toy does NOT resemble the game design of FOC Metroplex, so if this new Metroplex toy were meant to be the FOC character, the toy's design would represent some form of his other than his Cybertronian body seen in the game, thus making the body this toy has possibly represent an Earth body for him IF the toy were to be for that character.
But it is not that character, so your rebuttal was pointless.

Why would I say the same about the other FOC characters?Ultra Markus wrote:"it wouldn't be of his Cybertronian body as seen in the game, but ratehr it would be a possible (and currently hypothetical) Earth Mode body"........ uh yeah right just like the other FOC characters which were sold as FOC and look like they were in the game, this is not....get a clue!

MP Optimus was made out of far more expensive materials and was super crazily complex and detailed in its engineering. Metroplex will likely be of the more typical level of engineering just at a large scale. A 2-foot tall MP-like figure would likely never get approved for children.FellintoOblivion wrote:So the latest MP OP was $100-135 but this is only going to be $125 despite being much larger?

You're right that it's not FOC Metroplex, but you're incorrect to say "It says Generations on the package and therefore is an updated G1 Metroplex." There are lots of figures (including the entire WFC and FOC lines) that say Generations on the package but are NOT updated G1 figures.
However, the WFC figures and Classics-style Generations figures used the same Generations logo.RAcast wrote:GuyIncognito wrote:Ultra Markus wrote: it says generations on the package and therefore

He's right insofar as it says "Generations" and not "Generations: Fall of Cybertron." Therefore, Ultra Markus was right to begin with.
