I don't think this one exists explicitly as a result of what fans asked, and I didn't mean it as such. I just meant that some fans wanted a different point blank and this one will answer that want/need. There will be 2 point blanks just like there are 2 cyclonuses, that's how I see it.

I wonder if this repaint is cheaper than simply creating a new non transforming mold?

How do you feel about fit in shape Sharkticons?

In-fiction, they're "Generation 2" Sharkticons. A new model designed for a whole new generation of Quintesson ambition.1984forever wrote:Sabrblade wrote:You mean these?1984forever wrote:o.supreme wrote:I'm glad were not getting a FAT Guardian.

Yeah I get it. I was just trying to get it straight whether the newer figure is in response to fans' reaction to the previous one or if it was already planned to be released no matter what. FWIW I'm happy with the 1 we already got, but I get why others weren't satisfied.william-james88 wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:The 1st Pointblank has been out long enough for them to acknowledge the negative response and implement the desired changes in such a short time?

As many bemoan the price, equal if not more will bemoan a cheaper non-transforming new mold.

I'd imagine especially for people not really in the loop - "Why is this based off a toy release from a few years ago that could transform?" and probably consider just forking up cash to get one that can actually transform.
I love Action Masters but...this ain't RED! (I am also one of those people that prefer Transformers that can transform as much as I love Action Masters.)
I dunno. The e-HOBBY release of the original mold is also pretty expensive.partholon wrote:the most expensive army builders EVER !

But seriously, I was surprised at this opinion. It's clearly not the consensus.![]()
One thing is sure though. As a collector, shelf space is indeed an eternal battle.

Metroplex now sell for around 500$ now. And easily.
Mine was yellowing and full of dust, no box, yet I still received 300$CAN in store credits at my local Geek Store.
So that Generations Metroplex of yours, if you don't really care about it that much, SELL IT. Now is the perfect time before a redo of him comes out.

Cybertron Metroplex is this year's titan: Metroplex from the 2006 Cybertron show.
