The Energon Pub

i am buying 2. one to keep and one to sell much later. but i am really interested to see what people customize this sucker into.

That was the pic I was waiting for... a comparison between robot modes. I hope they post more.

Just wow. Amazing. Glad Metroplex is getting some love, since his old version — awesome though it may be — was always too small for my tastes.

Maybe this is the first indicator that Hasbro is starting to pay a little attention to scale!!!

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Yeah, okay. I know better.

Wow. The more I see of this, I think it might actually be bigger than Fort Max. I didn't believe it at first, but dagum. Look at 'dem legs!

Because those pics did not do a good job of showing just how MASSIVE this guy is going to be. These pics do.

Yeah, it's how it sizes up to other figures that TFYuki is teasing, not the figure itself.

And, there's a chance that this could be the Japanese version, which has *not* been seen yet.

The more I see this guy,the more I am loving. Him and Fort Max are on my hunting list.

What's the point of the teaser pics? We already know what it looks like.

Just have fun with it. Yes, we know what he looks like, but we haven't had many size comparisons. Also, we haven't seen the Takara version yet and this seems to be it.

Good god, he's a behemoth. Now I'm starting to wonder if I really will have any space for him at all, even in base/vehicle mode.

Considering most of the figures this year are from the IDW continuities, we need a Voyager class Fort Max to go with Metroplex here. I'm sorry, but Fort Max is the size of Jetfire in the IDW comics

Throw in his tradItional Headmaster-ception gimmick, and I'm sold.

...Immense...!

*Gasp* It's so...big! How will I fit it in?



...OK, that was really, really bad. I apologize.

If a Voyager sized knock-off can do it, I'm sure Hasbro can do it.

EDIT: Also nevermind o.o

I'm confused what you mean. If it's Hasbro... then it's not a knock-off. (???)

That said, with the introduction of the Titan "class" — I'm doubting Hasbro would venture to put forth a Fort Max at anything less than this big. I think the fans would gripe too much.

Ahhh. Funny, I thought that was epic-ly fantastic. They managed to work in THREE new gimmicks (including a spring loaded launched), new separate modes, a little more articulation, and two bonus figures... all for about $20 plus shipping. How can anyone complain about that? After putting mine together, I immediately ordered a second one just because I thought it was a great value.

*puts mini fort max on top of big fort max*

I love doing that with Legends figures. I have RtS Legends G1 Megetron sitting on Armada Megatron's head (who is holding AM Micron Megatron, haha). I also have Cybertron Legends Jetfire on Energon Jetfire-shirtXIronhide-pants.

I have an actual KO Fort Max that is only about the size of a voyager. His head still comes off, but doesn't transform. He stands at the foot of Brave Maximus. I would like to display this new Metroplex with my G1 version, but I also want to display the new one with my classics.

Wow. Now I REALLY want some tiny, tiny versions of these bases... like Legends... or better, WST size. Like, as small as they could engineer them. That would be AWESOME. I want to put them in Metroplex's little chest pocket.

No, I'm not talking about the Kabaya candy toy.

Huh o.o I didn't know that was a thing. Lol, well that's certainly interesting, sorry for the misunderstanding.

AHhh. The non-hasbro KO. Yeah, it was decent quality. I need to compare its size to the new Kabaya.

Does anyone have the OLD Kabaya that could do a size comparison?
