Do we know for sure that it's the Titan that's being revealed??

Apparently, from all I have read, that just means you are delaying boredom/disappointment. While he most definitely looks the part in both modes, Legacy Kickback is said to be one of the most uninventive and boring toys we have gotten in a long while.
Speaking of abdomens, I do find it cool that they had upped the complexity slightly for the Titans Return one by giving him an abdomen, and he had that extra playability with the chest window.

And I was disappointed to see them perpetuating that mistake into the Legacy line. G1 Ransack was vastly superior in engineering that way. And in many ways, it still is. So I approve of the OPTION of using those ugly energon weapons to simulate an abdomen. It ain't perfect, but I guess it's better than nothing.
If my minions can FIND a Deluxe Kickback at all, that is. The Legacy Deluxes are proving about has hard to find as Netflix Bumblebee was...

Nothing about that Metroplex... Images or descriptions have any appeal to me.
He's obviously very fashion-forward with that handbag he's holding!
There's $190 saved... Possibly for the reissue of Predaking.

Other than it's weapons being a bit off or just a bit meh, he looks really good (oh and obviously apart from vehicle mode that is what it is due to transformation).
However, having had the original I kinda wish they had given it a fourth mode of some kind of base mode even if non screen accurate and even then it wouldnt make up for the lack of features. a pass for me and like a lot of modern toys are out done by the G1 versions it's kinda (not) nice to know it applies to other transformer ranges too.

Easy pass on Cybertron Metroplex, as I initially thought. But that price hike ( which we also knew was coming) makes it even easier. Still, I will miss the tradition of getting a new Titan this summer, as I have for the last several years.
As much as I enjoy some aspects of the Ark, I may just end up selling it. Mainframe/ Teletraan is pretty neat though, and is the main reason I keep it. If Pulse ever does a single release Mainframe in Action Master colors, I will probably sell the Ark.

There's going to be a re-issue of Predaking?
Glad that non-G1 toys are starting to show up at bigger size classes though I wonder if using this Metroplex was the best idea

Looking at the images that just dropped on Pulse, I think Metroplex looks pretty good! Does help with having a lot more expressive articulation than the original and the Sparkdrinker looks quite mighty. At least the "work mode" has more effort put into it to make it seem somewhat different, heh.
Probably won't get it though, I don't got room for more Titans.

Just saw the Metroplex photos.
From a detail standpoint this thing looks impressive. I am glad they enhanced the transformation somewhat by tucking the shoulders behind the crawler mose and making this thing more compact. The weapons becoming hand gauntlets is a nice feature for playability.
But I am not overly attached to Cybertron Metroplex so this is a pass for me unless he hits some Hella sale

Oof, the price is rather hefty, which is mildly irritating as this is the first Titan where without a shadow of a doubt I want him. He looks really cool.

RIP Inferno getting absolutely shredded to pieces on that boxart, goddamn.
I grew up with the UT, I want this guy, he looks good and while no Minicon is sad I can deal...but as much as it pains me to say, I just don't know that I can commit to $200 + tax for him in my current financial situation, especially with Victory Saber also later this year.

Still a rumor, obvsly... If it does happen, I'm leaning towards getting him this time.
The main problem???
S P A C E
I looked at the photos of Metroplex on BBTS to get a better look.
Still not at all impressed... I don't like either of the alt modes at all.
Now, as a kid, when I played with toys, I probably would've enjoyed this figure.
The bot mode looks better than the original, but still... And almost $200... No way. No day.

Okay, was skeptical of Metroplex, but gotta say, I think he looks pretty good. I really like the details they put in, and the inclusion of a weapon is awesome! Wouldn't doubt that that played a part in the price hike, but as is, I'm kinda excited for him

Maybe it is because I am so unfamiliar with UT Metroplex. But I'm unsure what his altmode is even supposed to be??

Somewhat stylized bucketwheel excavator, which are quite abstract looking things to be fair. They're also absolutely colossal.

Agreed. When I first head about Metroplex I was excited until I learned it wouldn't be G1 look and instead be that huge drilling/cutting vehicle. Never watched universe but even if I had its still not my Metroplex.
Oh well it's $200 saved that I really didn't want to fork out on a toy anyway, which is probably for the best. lol
I'll just wait for the rumored Cosmos and hopefully they get around to G1 Hound before I bail complete.

Okay, I was NOT expecting to love this reveal as much as I was. This thing is kinda stupid I’ll admit, but it just looks so cool! Maybe it’s the blue.
But I kinda really dig how this is a Titan you could display with your regular figures and it won’t be totally out of scale. I mean I guess we’ve got a few of those…Devastator, Predaking…Omega Supreme, kinda… but the rest have been City Bots and The Ark. so I could have this guy fighting Devastator and not have that nagging part of my brain telling me it’s not a realistic scenario for my green transforming evil robot construction vehicles to fight the giant transforming robot spaceship.
Am I making any sense or am I just rambling now?
