I think I may be splurging on this guy. Extra gun and snazzy detailing? That's how I try to live my life.

[Mkall]

I think this guy will be worth the extra scratch. Those apps are brilliant and liberally-applied.

Painted face = awesome.

[AutoBorst]

He is a beauty.

[FortMacs]

planned on getting the Hasbro version but may have to get this instead.

[Rated X]

Whats the price difference between this one and Hasbro ?

[gothsaurus]

huh? What's different about the face paint? Can't see a difference in the crappy low res photos floating around the web.

[Nemesis Destron]

Holy crap there is no denying the greatness of this monster...I will possess you Metroplex!!

[Mindmaster]

The difference in details is astounding.

If I had the funds, I'd order this on the spot. But I don't, so I'm gunna have to wait for the Hasbro release.

[gothsaurus]

From what I could remember, you could buy to Hasbro ones for the extra red blaster, then pitch the second metroplex and STILL come out ahead of buying the Takara one.

I'd laugh, but I really want it. Me likey paint apps.

[DevastaTTor]

The X-factor will be what the rumored SDCC repaint looks like and how obtainable it is for non-attendees.

[Skullcrunchberries]

That... is a significant improvement. Bravo, Takara! You continue to make my wallet cry.

If Metroplex is indeed the SDCC exclusive, though, that might change things entirely...

A different deco of Metroplex is this year's SDCC exclusive. We just don't know what the deco is.

[MenaceRX]

But is the extra paint really worth another 100 to 130 dollars more then the Hasbro version... i just cant seem to sell my self on it.

Well, you gotta keep in mind import prices and shipping. Plus, extra gun, tee-wee bit more expensive.

I trust that there are better paint apps on the Takara version as they tend to do that, but I really can't see too much with the low res photo.

[MenaceRX]

I pre-ordered him anyway, but still I am questioning my decision. Its alot of money, but he keeps saying he must heed the call of the last prime and I must make it so!

[MGrotusque]

Sorry....where did you pre-order it?

[-Kanrabat-]

I bet my left nut that it will be at least DOUBLE the price of the Hasbro version.
Not worth it in my book.

[kirbenvost]

Eh, Hasbro version is good enough, and way cheaper.

[LOST Cybertronian]

Takara Metroplex is marginally better.

[MagnetarPrime]

yes yes yes !! nice details, great paint job.
Already have it pre-ordered on BBTS and I also pre-ordered a hasbro version on ebay, lol,,,, must have both NOW!

[Sabrblade]

Found a better Hasbro vs. Takara comparison:

[Manterax Prime]

Extra gun and minor paint aps? Not worth it. Hasbro Metroplex is good enough.
