Interesting! I've heard nothing but good things about the SD Metroplex these guys made, so this should be good...

Okay, that could almost work as a non-SD figure. The overly large dino head is not too unlike what they did with T-Rex in the first Jurassic Park movie. I like this and will keep an eye on it....

This will cost over $100.

How much was the Metroplex?

This is... kinda cute.

exactly what i was thinking. it just looks like a normal trypticon, and a cool one at that. too bad he will be too small to really represent a city bot in a classics collection but in every other way he could.

Small appeals to me because I have that PE [Edit] ToyWorld Fort Max. I'd love to have roughly deluxe or voyager sized city bots to have in a display by themselves. I am a little more forgiving of including such large bots in my classics collection.

At least until the wife approves the 150 foot high Unicron I have planned.

Does anyone know how tall their Metroplex is?

NA - $130. You could get it a bit cheaper through Asian retailers or eBay auctions.

You're welcome. Wish I could snap some comparison picks, but he's sitting in my POL at the moment. I"m just glad I was able to shuffle some orders and put him back in the "paid" zone.

I've got the first set of Kids Logic figures, will have to make a little display for them w/Metro.

This looks really cool. I'm tempted by Metroplex too.

I agree this Trypticon barely looks super deformed which is a good thing. I prefer it without the additional gun kibble. It could work if it weren't so damn small. Maybe a KO company can bless us with a upsized high quality KO for our classics. This is one of the rare instances where I would like the figure to be BIG !!!

New pics and confirmation of mini-Megs to be included:

*sigh* Yeah, I bit. Prolly going to be my Classics Trypticon for now....

I wanna see the size and color pictures before I consider this to be a classics Trypticon. BBTS lists it as 8 inches. I wanna see him next to Toyworld Fort Max or Botcon Scorponok. I still believe Hasbro has Trypticon on their radar.

this looks so cool



although his Destroyer Mode looks weird! I'd rather they had kept the rolling battlestation mode

y'know...Trypticon is one of those figures that they haven't done all that many various versions of in toy form

there was the TF Juniors/KO/Kabaya ones





this fella



& of course...the laser mouse one

Guess what just hit my POL... Muahahahaha! Now, do I wait on Sky Lynx....?

i'm strongly considering getting this! & the price tag is reasonable too! at just over £100

update

i decided to take the plunge....& bought it online, so hopefully i'll have it either by the end of the month or thereafter.

I got him. He rocks! He is very solid and not too difficult to transform. The Nemesis/Star Cruiser mode is a bit weird, but let's face it. All of Trypticon's modes are weird, and that part of why I love him!

ooohh i'm getting excited

Diabolus should be arriving any day now!(Wednesday at the latest)

btw he looks rather small...maybe Leader Class height

btw i never thought of that! his spaceship mode could be the Nemesis, i was actually going for....the Scimitar...from Star Trek Nemesis

well funnily enough i've got Infinitor! so when i get Diabolus, i'll do a size comparison in my video review

fkn pissed off! my Diabolus still hasn't turned up & it's been 15 days since the item was dispatched(although it still says it's in transit! must be on a slow boat from China! &/or on from there...arriving by bicycle!....or it feels that way).

btw anyone else from the UK had a problem with the delivery of this item? i only ask coz i ordered this back on the 15th March....waited 20 days(coz that's when the shipping info of the item said that's how long it would take) after it didn't arrive i contacted the Ebay seller & he told me that it got held up coz he stupidly left the battery inside it, so, he resent it(this time without the battery inside) this was on the 11th April, + he also told me that it would arrive before the end of the month! & it's now the 2nd of May! & it STILL hasn't arrived! now.....coz it's a public holiday today, maybe there's a chance that it'll arrive tomorrow or something? but just wondered if anyone else has had similar issues with the delivery of Diabolus?

i just hope customs haven't held the item up again! for some unknown reason?(i know there's no screws or screwholes showing on Diabolus, so hope it isn't something to do with that? in case it's got customs scratching their heads thinking that there's drugs or whatnot been hidden inside of it, YES! i know it's highly doubtful, but god alone knows what goes through customs heads these days when presented with such items) oh btw, i've had no correspondence from customs, so it's not something like a customs charge on the item in question, nor have i had any issues with previous items that i have ordered off of Ebay before(for example....Optimus Prime transforming Pen, it arrived in a matter of DAYS! & even from the same country!
