Well, actually, Takara at least did reissue Metroplex to accompany Trypticon. Back in January 2018. I understand why Hasbro didn't - one Titan on the shelves at a time seems to be stretch as it is, never mind two. And Pulse wasn't really set up at the time.o.supreme wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:Did you miss out on this Titan? Did you manage to secure one all those years ago?

It's a nice alternative I guess for those that missed out, also goes well with the Siege Omega Supreme reissue (I wish they would have reissued Metroplex back in 2017 when TR Trypticon came out , but that is all moot now...)
Well, if this uses the original Hasbro toolings for the Constructicons I can't say I blame you.o.supreme wrote:I am happy with the UW Version I have, and the scaled down KO Taikongzhans that goes well with all other CW/UW/PotP/Selects Combiners. Honestly, if I didn't have this now, I'd probably still shell out the cash for the UW version, but that's just me.

Its not cheaper. Its the same price for the exact same toy released in 2015. It shouldn't cost more. If it did have a markup, yes that would be a cash grab. This is neither a mark-up or a good deal, it's just normal price.

I think that when he was designed, the designers placed priority on the combined mode first, then went to the vehicle modes (Since they combine in vehicle mode) and finally the individual robots. From what I've seen, the UW version paid more attention to the individuals, but otherwise the only thing that makes that version superior is the paint.Munkky wrote:I'm taking this reissue announcement to mean that Hasbro aren't planning on making any new G1 Constructicons for a while, which is fair enough, we just got new toys od all of the Michael Bay Constructicons so it's not like there's been no Constructicon love recently. I already have Combiner Wars Devastator and am more or less happy with it, but even so, an all new Devastator with better robot and vehicle modes for the individual Constructicons would be much appreciated.

The Taikongzhans KO is this exactly. CW scaled down to deluxe size, it looks great with the other CW/UW/PotP/Selects Combiners. For a KO it's also one of the most durable I've handled as well.

No loss of structural integrity due to the smaller size? Also, what version of the joints does it use: CW or UW?

Its CW unfortunately, but still looks good. The plastic is not official quality, but for $40 USD, it's the best KO I've ever handled. Solid and no breakage. Other KOs have literally fallen apart as I Transform them, so this was a pleasant surprise.

All I'll say is that the only reason I didn't get that KO yet is because it has the same gimp Mixmaster foot that the Titan does, except smaller.
