Eh...no. That is NOT FoC Metroplex, sorry Hasbro. That's just a bigger version of G1 Metroplex:

Metroplex heeds the call of the last Prime indeed! This looks astoundingly good! :grin:

Welp, I need this. No choice now. I hope they come out with something as ginormous as this for the Decepticons.

1. HOLY SLAG YES. OMG IT'S BIGGER THAN FORT MAX.

Anyone who says that Hasbro doesn't listen to fans can eat their words right now.

This thing looks AWESOME!

Now I really hope they bring out a Trypticon of the same scale...

I'm not a Metroplex fan but if I were I would start to desperately save up money. As it is, well, I'm impressed but not $125 + massive shipping and customs impressed.

Personally I hope for a legions-class Trypticon but I suppose that if this guy sells enough they might consider it.

For those of us that are lazy:

I didn't even see that until you pointed it out. That is impressive, if you ask me.

If I could afford this the first photo would be 'Plex beating down on Megatron. Yeah, that scene.

I'll be getting him for sure. $125 isn't bad for something so huge (though I'll likely spend more as I'll be getting the Takara version, not Hasbro's).

I just wish (hope) they do a second version which is more accurate to his appearance in the game.

I wouldn't bet on it. The most they can do is give him a slightly different head and round off some parts here and there.

It's not look like FOC version. It's a Generations line with new mod.
I still want him... but not with in this year...

It's a good price.

I have a sad because of how much Australian retailers will jack up the price. :-(

Import from Japan here I come!

I take it the Japanese are more gentle in "violating" you?

This guy will have a special spot on my shelves, but which one: Cyberverse or regular size?

Wow. Total surprise. But I'm definitely getting it. Finally a good representation of Metroplex. It's not game accurate? Doesn't matter. Personally, I'd LOVE a Metrotitan repaint.

Price works out roughly the same (maybe SLIGHTLY cheaper, and that's with postage factored in) but the big plus is I don't have to worry about distribution and whether it will make it to town or if I'll have to take an hour drive north and travel around the city trying to find him.

Yep. Hopefully someone will do a 3rd party add-on kit to mod him (mainly the chest and thin legs) to make him more game accurate. Has/Tak's engineers should have taken notes on what Planet X did with Genesis.

If I were into Cyberverse, I'd stick him with them. But I'm not into Cyberverse, so he will have a most honorable place among my Supreme-class figures.

Oh I agree. This is a great updated Metroplex and should fit in well with any Classics collection. It's just not a good representation of FoC Metroplex. I'll get him for sure still, but I'd still like one which was more game accurate.
