A replacement head I can take or leave, but a behemoth of this size can always use more gun turrets.

I have to see comparison shots next to each other. I don't have Metroplex in hand yet. Still in my POL. I don't give a crap about comic accuracy, but if the Hasbro head has any annoying lines on the face, I might buy this.

Tell you what...I'm intrigued by this because my Metroplex head tends to pop off when converting to turret mode.

I'm with X -
I've gotta pick up a Metroplex before considering this.

Our head has neck joint,so its looking up will never be a problem. Besides,this set also contains 4 turrets and 2 radars. Further more, chrome face version will be available in future. Hope you like it!

Price please! That's the only thing standing in the way of my commitment.
I like the additional components for those red crane thingies from the helipad. Now, if only there was somewhere to store all those extra pieces when in bot mode. Some sort of large cavity with a big ol' door on it. Hmmm....

The pose-able neck has decided it for me. If I get Metroplex, I'll get this (if it's in the ~$30 range).

I just got Metroplex last night, and I already see why you would want this.
I'm in if it is reasonably priced.

That facial expression isn't blowing me away, but I expect the addition of colour to change that.

I'm conflicted by this, part of me wants it and part isn't convinced that the quality will be good enough. Going to wait on reviews before I make a decision. Besides, there are other kits for Metroplex I want first.

As soon as I hit submit I knew someone would ask that
Slammer, Sixgun and a new ramp would be nice.

Ramp? Here you go:

And I will be all over the ramp if it ever appears at BBTS. As for that gun, it is a pointless piece of crap

Kinda pricey. Im not sure if this head looks better enough to justify. The features are nice but I dont plan on displaying the city mode too much. Are there any close ups of the original head that can be posted side by side with the color pic of this head ?

Shouldn't be surprised by the price, UT are proving that they like to rip people off. If they drop this to $30 I'll think about it, otherwise it's a pass.

This looks great.
I was considering passing due to price, but then I thought: Well, I've spent $30 in the past on small as hell head upgrades... why not slightly more for this huge one?
I'm probably getting this. Oy, my wallet.

When you use logic, then yes, the price isn't as bad as first thought
The head would be the only reason for me to get this, don't need the other pieces, but being UT I'll wait for a few reviews before committing to anything they release.
