Leak Reveals New Legacy Line with Titan Cybertron Metroplex and Price Increase

Interseting how this presentation was given to a family dollar representative, which means that there's probably some more of those Authentics Figures coming out.

Also, that alt mode is just plain bad. Metroplex looks like he's someone's prison b!tch

Is it just me or do his hands look…. familiar? Kinda looks like Devastator’s hands. I know they’re not (or at least they shouldn’t be) but… yeah.

Might bite, but then again I’m fine with the original one. All this one’s got over the original is ankle tilts and he’s taller. The original was way fun!

Metroplex, huh?

If it were Tidal Wave I'd be down.

If hasbro wants to save on engineering, I would rather pay for a tripticon scaled to match metroplex, leg fixed.

Cool

Not sure who this was for but it’s not for me. The weapon looks nice and it’s cool that it splits but this is otherwise a carbon copy for father original I still have with nothing new added on and no Minicon that we can see. For those that missed out on the original and want a new chair at him, great for you guys though

If that Metroplex dosent disintegrate in transformation like The Ark and have the satisfying clickity-clackytack joints of the original, I'll preorder him day one.

This frankly does nothing for me, as someone who has owned the original since childhood. Looks like the only upgrades are the size, ankle pivot, and opening handles on the weapon. Also it doesn't look like he comes with a cyber key, which is a terrible shame.

Why couldn't they have made tidal wave instead? Are the budgets spread so thin a transformation beyond crawling is impossible?

What do you mean disintegrate? Should I be worried about how much mine gets used?

Like a miniature Kup figure to ride his tank mode?

It would be nice if Blitzwing's tank mode is large enough so that it just about scales with Kup and you can recreate that scene. I doubt it will be of course, I'm expecting Blitzwing to be only slightly bigger than Voyager with extra parts and maybe some complex engineering to justify the Leader price point. But I am clinging to the feint hope that he is a big Leader, Hasbro heard the feedback on Siege Astrotrain and are making another, larger one.

What, AGAIN? That Astrotrain was great! Awesome even that they bothered to include him a tender for his locomotive mode

Easy pass for me.

VERY eager to see better images of this guy, although that price stings. The fact that the saw end of his weapon actually looks more saw-like and they seem to have taken at least some steps to make the alt mode better looks promising and the fact that he even exists at all still doesn't feel real.

I wonder if he doesn't come with Drill Bit because they're planning to release him as a stand-alone Weaponizer like all the recent Titan partner characters, or if he does come with him and it just isn't shown on this slide that very obviously isn't intended to be used in/as an actual reveal. It's not like the PotP leak revealed every single detail of the leaked figures, after all.

Wow, this is an easy, easy pass for me…
Hastak really thinks this is going to have major appeal?
No joke, I wouldn’t buy this if it were on sale for $50.
I am all for branching-out to cover/revisit various series, but this seems like a mis-step.
Which, sure, personally I can say, “Money, saved, & looks like the new Stunticons/Menasor are an even more likely purchase for me”.
But that doesn’t mean I’m in favor of things that could be bad for Hastak.
I don’t see that thing anywhere close to being worth $200.

Its not great, but at least its different. This'll be an easy pass for most, but they're trying which is nice.

I'm still hoping for a Titan Class Optimal Optimus and a Commander Class Transmetal Rampage.

When The Ark is in ship mode, there's those two small panels on the underside at the front. Those panels WILL pop off no matter what I do when transforming. Those things are annoying to deal with and WILL get lost sooner or later.

I find such "feature" unforgivable. Especially on a 200$ figure.

For those that are excited, I am happy for them. For me, its an easy pass. I'm kind of sad as this will be the first Titan I don't own. But the good side is that is money reallocated to get the MP Raiden. (or at least one component of him) .

Was someone actually asking for this? I can't remember ever seeing a post asking for a Cybertron Metroplex. I have, however, seen many, many posts asking for an Animated Omega Supreme. I'm just wondering what kind of research Hasbro has done to justify this Titan instead of something else.

The answer is simple, really.
Legacy will revive the Unicron Trilogy. Even if there's not much UC characters, the introduction is strong with that Metroplex. I do hope the titan for 2023 will be Cybertron Menasor to pit against him.

What an absolutely idiotic waste of plastic. The first iteration of this toy was on clearance when it first came out, possibly due to its basic transformation and lack of significantly different modes. I even sold my original shortly after I got it as it was such a poor toy.

I sincerely doubt this will sell in any significant numbers. Seriously, as a fan of Galaxy Force, this is just as badly realised as the equally poor Galaxy Force Prime that was just released in Siege. In both cases, you might as well get the originals, which I think still sell for reasonable prices in collectors' shops or online.

Explain "reasonable".

Because the only way for the price to be "reasonable" is for an incomplete toy. And that damn minicon seem to be made out of cotton candy underwater.
I've got mine. It was stated as "mostly complete". And unlike my Cybertron Menasor (no key) that was found at a flea market for 15$CAN, there's no secret compartment where the minicon is hidden.

So the only option is to buy the thing mint in box for actual titan price.

I miss leaks...those were the good ol days...
