Full Reveal and Preorders Up for Legacy Titan Cybertron Metroplex

Posted by william-james88 Apr 19, 2022 at 1:30pm CDT 61,890 views
It's Transformers Tuesday and Hasbro has revealed a new toy in the Transformers Legacy line, the titan class figure Metroplex from the Cybertron show/toyline, which is part of the Unicron Trilogy. This adds a new era of Transformers lore to the Legacy line which already had G1, G2, Beast Wars, and Prime characters.

Preorders are up now at various site sponsors like BBTS, TFSource and Hasbro Pulse for $200. Below is a product description followed by images. To answer questions that have been circulating online, there is no Mini-Con, no Cyber Planet Key, no axe configuration for his weapon, and his alt mode loses its cockpit. However, he is more articulated than the original, more complex (the hands have a transformation step to hide them for the alt mode) and much much larger, making him closer to scale with how he was in the show. He also retains a third worker mode. Also, we get our first look at wave 3 voyager Inferno on the box art, being destroyed.

Thanks all. What a strange and random thing to have as an altmode. On the one hand, it makes more sense than the "battle station" mode of Fort Max and G1 Metroplex. I've got no attachment in the character but, a piece of Machinery that
size will likely compliment the City Bots well. I paid £99 each for Trypticon and Fort Max. When this guy drops to that, I might pick him up.

Do we have the measurements on this figure yet? I imagine it will be a bit shorter than 2 feet because of the huge weapon accessory.

I like it as well, I used to have the Takara version that came with the legends class Optimus. I got it preordered, I have plenty of time to change my mind if I decide against it.

I'm gonna guess if the Titans are going to be continued, we're getting a Decepticon next, but who?

Each of the four colony worlds had a different theme:

Speed Planet: Racing
Jungle Planet: Beasts
Planet Earth: Humanity
Giant Planet: Construction

Metroplex and his people were of the Giant Planet and all turned into massive construction vehicles.

A couple transformers have that alt mode, he isn't the only one.

Alright, I guess the price increase is covering the extra materials and engineering. Even though this really just looks like an oversized version of the Cybertron figure.

Not Titan scale though. At first, unaware of the UT history. I thought his altmode was supposed to be a homage to the Hive machines in The Rebirth...

At least he's closer in size to how big he actually was in the cartoon.

Now we just need Supreme class toys (Commander class is too small) of Quickmix and Menasor to make all three Gigantion characters in-show-scale with the original toyline.

Meanwhile, he looks good. But I still have the original and never cared for it one bit. Can't justify shelling out $200 for this.

£177.95 - Kapow Toys

This item has a release estimate of December 2022 subject to delays.


I like how exchange rates are non-existent with Hasbro pricing... :roll:

That BOX ART is going HAM.Our first look at Beast Inferno and it's Metroplex GRINDING him into more pieces than Waspinator ever was in. Look at the red smear near the bucket wheel

Cybertron Metroplex looks great. While losing the Cyber Key gimmick is a shame, it's still a fantastic figure in my eyes. And the "worker mode" is interesting.

Wew, that's a spicy callout. :-D :lol:

Anyway, one thing I think is cool is that the worker mode is quite different from the standard robot, especially compared to the OG toy. Also reminds me a bit of Engels from Nier: Automata with the bucketwheel arm...

Looks like a cool figure. I wonder if we can fanmode a city mode somehow out of him. Those modes are always my major reason for getting the Titans.
I'm thinking the Galactic Odyssey set with Ironworks would look pretty cool set up next to this.

Nope. Nope, the more I look at this Legacy Metroplex, the uglier it gets.

No shame to those who DO like it though. My not liking it just means more of him for the rest of you...

For that price I will just stick with my Megalo Convoy. I just don't think it looks all that good.
