- The US version will be white, the Takara will be more true to the white and coloring of the G1 Metroplex
- The Japanese version will include two guns, the US version just 1 gun
- It is believed the Japanese version will feature chromed/metallic paint apps the US will not, but this is not confirmed. When we asked Takara did not say yes or no

The girl bonds with the figure? How?

Have you guys considered that the extra money goes to his "going west-ern" themed musical called "Have Extra Gun, Will Import"?

Throw in a couple dancing girl Arcees and you've got yourself a deal!

Her name is Fortress Maximus? That's... odd.
Oh, you mean the Race Queen figure. Didn't see the "with the" in your original post.
The Bot is Maximus. The girl is his Race Queen.
It's cool.And thanks. I'm getting this guy. Never owned an Alternity before, and the Race Queen looks rather interesting.
It's Transformers: GT.

Also, I will SO wait for the domestic Metroplex release.
Just for the record: It's not Alternity. It is a collaboration with Super GT Racing, as a way to celebrate Super GT's 20th anniversary. And as we speak, GT-R Maximus is the 4th and final GT-R GT300 model. And we might see other models be added in a hopes of showing that it is more than a "simple" retooling. Namely because they have 12 more teams and around 2-3 more car models. And trust me, Alternity was just a way to wrap up Takara's original work. This is way cooler.
In all cases, the whole theme is a lot more interesting than me explaining continuities (which is a subject I have been studying for the last 16 years, thanks to RPGs). Because they have fast cars, racing queens, and four GT-Rs that are Prime, Saber, Megatron, and Maximus. All I have are cookies.
Well, this will be the first from this line. How's that work? And it's this 'Race Queen' that's got me interested. Won't lie there. :p But he does look cool as well.Rated X wrote:And I hate when they use the term "G1" without specifying whether they mean "G1 toy" or "G1 cartoon".

Buy a 2nd Metroplex in TRU and return it without the gun. It's probally gonna end up in the hands of some kid who would lose it anyway so screw him.

You practice the unholy, asshole-y art of toy swapping, do you?
