We've known for quite some time that Metroplex would be appearing in the highly anticipated Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, but so far he's managed to dodge the spotlight. Until now that is! We finally have our first image of the city sized behemoth courtesy of Full Metal Hero user foxdie. The source of the image isn't disclosed, but it obviously comes from an upcoming magazine. Check him out below.

No, there WAS a picture of him floating around before this. It was concept art I think.

This game constantly gets better

It would be awesome to have a new metroplex figure, but that would be wishful thinking

His head really can't be that tiny, can it?

There's no Metroplex in FOC! Don't be silly.

I say that faseciously because it's the first that i've ever heard of him being in the game.

can we play as him too?
I just glad to hear the game will be on PC too

From what I understand you don't actually play as him, but Optimus Prime can control him at certain points in the game.

im starting to think that theres just going to be to much packed into this game, and that could hurt it. Only way it wont is if the single player is around 15-20 hours or everything is placed & approached perfectly.

I love 'Plex in general, so all I can say is this:

HOLY **** TOY NOW

Welcome to not being under a rock.

To me, I think he's not as huge as GameInformer made him out to be. He looks like he might maybe twice the size of Omega Supreme. What I read in GI, is that he would be way bigger.

I'm loving how he looks! it's almost Studio Ox-ish, how insane his proportions are.

Eh, for a robot, it ain't that tiny, I think his arms are just big.

Also like, if you want tiny heads, and I mean real tiny, check out Rob Ruffolo's Dreamwave art.

Like, I understand why Metroplex needs a small head, he towers over everything, he's supposed to look powerful and stuff, but Skyhopper's just a measly Micromaster, how burly does he need to look?!

From his pose, and the angle of his head, I think he may just be ending his transformation, and the magazine got the shot a few secs too early...

I don't like it. He's got the proportions of Armada Demolisher and a little head. And in this case, with a head that small, a little head is not good.

xD I knew he was reminding me of something else! Yeah, it's a bit weird, but I'll hold off judgement until I see the execution.

very cool

Good god in heaven. I cant wait to actually see him in the game. Good on them for deciding to relase the game on PC as well! I know a toy of this will NEVER happen, but God I can pray really, REALLY hard can't I??? =P~

Metroplex is going to be absolutely HUGE in the game! You guys thought Trypticon and Omega Supreme were big? Metroplex DWARFS them! He's WAAAAAY bigger than either of them were, literally being a city-sized (rather than merely "city district-sized" like he was in G1) Transformer.

While he isn't playable, you can control him via Optimus, by having Optimus give him commands to attack, unleash missle barrages, air support, and even deliver giant fist punches! =P~

For those wishing for a toy, heh, good luck. With his size, he'd have to be a Cyberverse playset, and ridiculously huge one at that. Since neither Omega nor Tryppy got toys, I'm not holding out for Metroplex.

I effin love the look of this guy! I think he's just looking up though, not that he has a tiny head or he's just finishing up his transformation.

Sideswipe80 posted this over at TFW. Metroplex's head is a heck of a lot more obvious.

Not really keen on how fairly plain and blocky much of his body is. He doesn't really look like he should be the size of a city to me; rather he looks like a Optimus-sized bot scaled up to ridiculous proportions.
