Were it not for Quakewave, Hexatron, and the Fansproject Not-Stunticons I'd agree with you.

Those are uber tempting.. But way out of my price range for them.. Hasbro will be a lot cheaper.

I'd say at $150 it's worth having a very convincing Masterpiece-esque Shockwave.
As for the others, your mileage may vary.
But, c'mon.
SHOCKWAVE.

Eh, I have Generations Shockwave as my Classics Shockwave. Unless Quakewave can dazzle me someway, somehow, I'm keeping a strict budget that concerns only those beautiful Generations figures unveiled yesterday.

There's already a WFC Megatron in the original Generations line in 2010:
He's hardly changed in design in FOC, unlike Optimus Prime.

The dark gray United version of that mold is probably the closest analogue to his FOC body.
Hm... Metroplex could crush WFC Megatron under fist...

Edit: I've had another look and noticed that leg articulation is limited and transformation is almost G1. All that money is going towards size, not inventiveness.
Well, it's still a very early model of the actual toy (it doesn't even have the sound chip and LED's installed yet, just a painted prototype the designers hastily did up for the expo), and there's no concrete way to verify if it has or hasn't got sideways arm articulation.
As for the legs, I think it's good enough at 90+ degrees. My Yamato 1/60 scale VF-1's are just as, if not more, expensive than Metroplex, and they've only got at most 50 to 60 degrees or sideways leg articulation.
That said, you do have a point regarding transformation. The city mode's a little too close to its simple G1 transformation for my liking. But...I like it enough that I'm going to let that slide.
Only thing is, where the hell am I going to find space on my shelf for a fricking two-foot-tall robot?!
That's where EXTRA shelves come in handy!

Duly noted, but my man-cave's real estate has been long since filled by 4 years of near-obsessive figure collecting.
And since the big lug doesn't scale in with anyone in my collection, he'll maybe need a custom pedestal or something to fully showcase his size.
I have absolutely no space at all for his city mode, of he'll most likely remain in bot mode 90% of the time, unless I feel bored and decide to transform him just for the heck of it.

Okay so you're like, meh, not impressed.
Hasbro makes a Transformers toy bigger than Fortress Maximus, something that has never been done in the past 20+ years.
Wow, what toy or toyline does impress his excellency?
