They’re great on the weapons but does anyone have them displayed with the effects acting as blaster damage?

For me it was fun for a few but quickly lost its magic. I don’t really mind the extra plugs all over but I’d be fine if they phased the ‘damage’ plugs out.

I wish they would sell variety bags of just the blast pieces.

* New or tweaked lower legs that have the below-knee pivot. This is the big one - it would allow his legs to be configured as per the original in city mode.
* Clips or a flip-open panel on the right side of the chest so that Cerebros can attach in communications room mode as per the original toy.
* ^Corresponding closure of the top of the central tower and adding a proper cockpit there.
* 5mm port on the central section of the chest
* Feet with cavities for SIEGE Gasket and Grommet (Wishful thinking I know)

I mean.. the lower legs *do* open like Metroplex... there's just brackets in the way which you can pop off... What does bug me is that the legs don't clip together like Metro's I tried swapping them... to line up the clips, but because of the way the Turrets and (wheels- the red brackets) they won't tab together T_T....

but an non-IDW super skinny waist Metroplex would make me happy, but it would still feel like a "waste" of a "titan slot".

But now that we do have the "titan partners" it would be kind of fun to "revisit" the Titans themselves. Someone (on a different board?) pointed out that Brut mysteriously slots nice and snug behind Tyrpticon's dino head.

Funny you should mention Metro's waist, because I found T30 Metro's waist to be too skinny. Make my cityboi THICC HasTak!

As for new Titans, who is left to choose? I mean, Scorponok is obvious, and maybe Armada Tidal Wave, but then who?

I don't think HasTak would play the repaints card for the Titans, unless there was extremely strong demand for them.

If HasTak makes a Titan Ark playset though, that would be amazing (and who doesn't want an Ark?)
