Reason Metrotitan hasn't happened yet is because approximately only 12 people in the world know who he is. Sorry to say, but he's just far too obscure a character to warrant a Titan-class release even as a simple redeco. We didn't even get G2/Europe Devastator, Grand Maximus or RiD Fort Max.

Why are we talking about early toy reviewers now? Sixshot has been out worldwide for 2 months now. Its only early from a US perspective. And quite frankly it isn't an excellent toy. Do you have him sillyspringer? Because I think you should really wait until you do to pass judgement. Complaining about complainers is still complaining and is just as annoying.
Wait till you have the figure and then figure out if you like the toy or not.
thats really not the case. You are going to be sorely dissappointed if you hold him up to thst standard and you really ahould wait until you have hik in hand to give him such a great review.SillySpringer wrote: As far as design and engineering, it's a friggin glorious piece that a lot of effort was put into to make it look as good as possible.
While Aaron Archer's team (the team responsible for Titan Metroplex) didn't know who Metrotitan was, I wouldn't quite rule out John Warden's team being quite as oblivious to the character's existence just yet, what with how obscure they've gone for JG1 characters in Titans Return.Kurona wrote:Reason Metrotitan hasn't happened yet is because approximately only 12 people in the world know who he is.

Metrotitan was originally a Japanese G1 Decepticon redeco of Metroplex from 1990. He was part of the Transformers: Zone line as the only large-sized Decepticon toy in the whole line, and one of only two Decepticon releases sold in the whole toyline (the other being the Micromaster Race Car Patrol Team).Cobotron wrote:Sabsie and friends, sorry for my dumb dumb here, but who is Metro Titan again?

My point is that people are too soon to review the toy before giving it enough time to figure out how things work. E.g. Tformers.com. I'm not saying it's the most incredible quality toy as far as tolerances and whatever because I don't have it. My point is that something like that which has 6 FRIGGIN MODES should get a LITTLE more respect than the nitpicky people who refuse to play with it long enough to figure out how to even properly review it. As far as design and engineering, it's a friggin glorious piece that a lot of effort was put into to make it look as good as possible. The joints? Don't ask me.

This isn't to say that they might give us Hasbro Metrotitan, mind, but if we were to ever get a Hasbro Metrotitan, chances are it would come from the team that knows about the likes of Lione, Shuffler, Jack, White Leo, the Dianauts, and the physical differences between Mega's and Giga's Suit Modes.

I was thinking the very same thing. Nightbeat and Flywheels were re-released in the Shuffler & Repugnus wave, and Crashbash's drone vehicle resembles Snapdragon a bit.

The last wave of CW surprised us by coming up with a completely unique and new mold (Sky Lynx) completely out of nowhere, and given Wave 5's Voyagers are minor retools, I'm fully expecting Wave 6's Voyager(s) to be completely new.
I was simply pointing out that the rumour instead being about Titan Masters is a distinct possibility now we have the precedent of TM re-issues.
