Thats a major bummer, he also seems much smaller in width.
Did you guys even look at the pictures? He's clearly taller than Metroplex.
He's not taller than Metroplex's shoulder guns but if you expected that he would be, I don't know what to tell you. They were always going to be the same height from toe to neck, it was the size of the head that would make the difference, and Plex gets to cheat on his height by having some long guns sticking straight up out of his shoulders.
It's a pretty hard call either way - the only thing that would make one taller than the other is the head and they're really close. Depending on how you look at it one can look like it has that slight edge over the other.
They are the same height at the neck, and Fort Max's head is larger (because it doubles as a deluxe class robot). At most, Metroplex's antennae might be slightly higher than Max's horns, but Max is the clear winner.

I believe that was you, insisting and guilt-tripping everyone into buying a retooled titan class figure.
I said from the start that we should all buy what we like. I'm only explaining how I (and many other's) feel; since he was revealed, a good portion of the fan base has seemed to feel pretty letdown that this legendary figure is being splurged out as a half-a$$ed retool, and I don't blame them. I was only trying to show how it could've been done differently to better enhance his reception - if it had to be a retool of Metroplex.
Your faulty biased analysis according to me. Just as two "seibertron.com" staff are also subliminally discouraging members to see things their way as in not to buy the Fortmax product.
Open to interpretation from both sides.
Guilt tripping or a logical analysis. I am seeing things in the economical side of things. Economics 101. The most boring, yawn inducing not guilt tripping of all subjects.
If you like it, buy it. If you don't, don't. If enough people don't like it, Hasbro will re-analyze their business model. This is highly unlikely to impact the release of Trypticon, as there is substantial evidence that people will purchase that based on the fan vote and his unique appeal (dinosaurs are a pretty easy sell). It may, however, affect future titan releases, and that's the point. Whether they don't make as many new titans going forward, or whether they take the hint and improve their relative uniqueness, or both, to many here it is an improvement over the current state of affairs. Nobody should feel forced to buy a toy they don't like, especially an expensive one, simply to maybe guarantee that something they might like will come down the pipe later that they will then have to pay even more money for.
