Wow he looks awesome,, stickers are always fun lol.... since he is so big and massive,,, maybe Scamper will be a deluxe size figure? I'm not sure where have I read that he would be a deluxe figure but this was about 2 month ago so who knows.

Also I have already pre-ordered TG23 Metroplex (Takara Import Version) from BBTS for $229 and will arrive in September, but how come the Hasbro version is out there for pre-order already and BBTS will not even offer the option to pre-order the hasbro version,,, maybe they want to get all the $$$ they can from TG23 Metroplex Takara first before they offer the Hasbro version on their website ???,,, but Robotkingdom.com has it on pre-order already for $169.90 :HEADHURTS:

After seeing these pictures,,, he looks just like the Takara version (or at least the pictures I have seen of it), if he does then I will only get the Hasbro Metroplex instead of the Takara,,,, what do you guys think,,, should I get the Hasbro or the Takara version of Metroplex ???

My main gripe deals with the hands. We've seen enough Transformers by now to know that it isn't that hard to hide hands. Maybe have the arms slide down to cover them, or a panel open up to have the hands slide into... something.

At the very least, make the hands detachable like the G1 version.

With the hands being visible, it totally messes up the right arm in city mode so that it can't even become a tower.

I actually LIKE to display my citibots in city mode (so I can show off my smaller TFs), but this one is going to have to be displayed in battle station mode so I can hide the hands from sight. And that's a shame. If one goes on clearance (ha!), I might just have to buy an extra and chop the hands off.

That packaging inside the box: wow! One step up from air-dropping them into stores. Without parachutes.

So Takara's version comes with two of those awesome guns. If they give Scamper a black head then they'll be the winner.

Stickers?

Seriously?

Oh, HasTak, that is pathetic.

Water-slide transfers maybe (and even then only on a model kit) but STICKERS?

Those papery **** are the bane of my existence. If I had it my way, stickers would be banned from use on toys. One of my biggest complaints with the G1 toys (aside from piss-poor articulation, silly designs, over-reliance on partsforming, rubber tires and dreadful scale issues) was the use of stickers. I was hoping they had abandoned this ridiculous, outdated practice and given him tampographs, but noooooooooooooooo...

That aside, AWESOME. Although I might just paint on the details and spare myself the grief of peeling stickers.

To be fair, with a Transformer toy of this caliber, just painting the stuff on there would make it even more expensive. Printing out the details in stickers would keep costs low.

Maybe Takara will tampo them on.

I hadn't considered that. That'd be awesome! "Meturoprexu something something Primuh!"

Or there could be a switch to turn him from Japanese to English, or one to turn him from good to evil, like those Krusty dolls?

I like it but I have to admit...I am not sure this is the version we will be getting in stores. The stickers are in japanese. And stickers are kinda new for Hasbro at this point. The last time a transformer had stickers was the SDCC Optimus Prime from Dark of the Moon. And he came with g1 style stickers. I'm inclined to think this may be the SDCC version and they are doing the same gimmick. But the box doesn't have the typically SDCC thing. So I'm not sure. Just..something seems off about this.

Actually, those stickers appear to have Cybertronian written on them, not Japanese. ;)

I'm pretty sure it's intended to be Cybertronian script, even if it is really just Japanese in a funny font. :lol: The instruction manual is clearly Thrilling 30 and it lays out where the stickers are to go, I've got no doubts that this is the regular retail version.
