Indeed, it would make the robot's arms look neater if they were flipped over. Another foible by Hasbro's PR company.

If true, that would indicate a pivot/hinge joint instead of a ball/socket, which doesn't really work for a figure of that size anyways. Little dude's gonna be a mini-contortionist.

I don't think they are swapped. I think he;s suffering from Energon Starscream hands, remeber he had a thumb and two molded fingers? Scamper's got a thumb showing on his arms, and it curls inward. So does the backside of his hands, like the back of a cupped fist or he's grabbing his car fender/shirtcuff that's just slightly too long for his arm... But maybe that's just me.

Looks to me like the arms are just sawpped..I got a few figures who have the same problem. Either way metro is gonna be the tits...

To those who think the forearms are swapped: trust me, they're not. I envisioned him transforming in my mind, keeping the position of the back wheels on his arm in mind (note the circular details on the outside of the arms), and if they are indeed swapped, the wheels would end up on the inside of the car instead of the outside.

Besides, the finger detailing is in the correct spot in the image, but the thumbs are lost.

Everybody, we to support this Metroplex cuz if it sells well maybe we'll get Trypticon... in a another 30 yrs. lol. I already got my money set aside for this, I didn't get him from G1 so this is my chance to right my wrongs.

he has arms! my childhood is ruined!

OMG is that a legends sized toy that actually has ball joints on both the knees and elbows, plus a gun ????

Looks like the first legends class figure actually worthy of being sold instead of being given free in a Mcdonalds Happy Meal.

He's more the size of a Commander (as "Legends" is now used for figures in between Legion and Commander Class) or interestingly enough, the size of G1 Scamper

Yeah, that's no Legends toy as we know it. That's a new size with an old name.

Am I the only person who is really bummed out about his head being red?

Still hating the red head. Come on Takara.
