Well he's effectively confirmed for Big W and Target will have their big toy sale a few weeks after Big W so he'll more than likely pop up there.

Good to hear. Hopefully not another round of Metroplex availability (online, Sam's and Toys R Us if they can be bothered).

Good times ...

We were merely adding our comments on a figure compared to Devy. We apologize and now return to the regularly scheduled program.

And we still cannot wait to get him. Optibotimus or Chuckdawg, if you read this: Get a review posted on here as soon as you make one, or you hear of someone else who has!

Maybe even Costco, they had Metroplex at Costco at one time. /:)

OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Actually, I just realized, this is our first look at his ports for his arms. It is totally different from combiner wars.

So incredibly G1 I love it. When rumors of this thing first began to swirl, I didn't get too excited because after all the other crap Hasbro has put out over the years I didn't expect much. I mean, remember when they released this monstrosity?

And then Combiner Wars Devastator was revealed and it was a 100% '15 update to the classic Devastator. Not only that, but the individual bots and vehicles themselves were also 90% slavishly loyal to the original. That completely blew my mind! And yet...I don't think I saw a single forum commenter that day acknowledge just how faithful this new toy was; everyone was too busy complaining about missing elbows on Scrapper. Meanwhile, I was like, "holy $#*@! Scrapper has knees, hips and ankles!".

Good one! I laughed so hard! XD

It is nice to see a picture of a limb by itself, gives you a better idea of what they look like separate.

You would have missed my posts then because I've always accepted Scrappers lack of elbows (support beams) but could easily see how ALL of them had much more articulation. Hell, someone tried to tear my opinion down because I was happy with such few points of articulation.

jkjk

I've always accepted the reduced elbow articulation on select bots because of their role in the greater whole. And as we can see, they are fully articulated everywhere else. Overall I feel like he gets a big thumbs up.

It didn't even need for Burn to remind people that being the "stilleto" of Devs, Scrapper is gonna carry a lot of weight. Common sense would dictate that given the weight on the part, adding a poseable part would lead to instabilty for such a large figure. Aside from going for a someone cartoon image accuracy.

Btw Burn, you into 4x A/Bs now? Has the A/B "love' rubbed on to you as well? :lol:

I agree, he seems to be the kind of a guy with a head on his shoulders.
