Good luck everybody, and have a happy Memorial Day.

And I still have yet to even find these in stores here in Wilmington, NC...

Might have to end up ordering these online, despite my dislike for such purchasing methods.

Sweet.

Thanks for the news, jprime69! I'm taking advantage of this before they go out of stock.
I've been wanting both of these, and this is a marvelous way for saving money.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up on these. Just ordered them both. Doubt I will ever see these at retail locally and this saves me a ton of hassle and wasted gas.

Rock on! Got 'em. I had been hoping pre-ordering these on BBTS would prevent me from hunting all over town to find them, but my pre-order never came in. So I just cancelled it and ordered these. Boom. Thanks for the heads up!

Great thank you , cancelled my preorder with BBTS since its free shipping and a few bucks less as well with amazon

I know you said they weren't gonna last long, but jeez. As of right now, there's one Springer left in stock and it's going for over 40 bucks.

Got my orders in last night! thanks

i guess it depends who you order from blitzwing is still 22.00 springer is 34. and up its good deal but if they give me 22.00 even for both and 5.% discount off my total order ill get them ill wait see them where i work for more 5% discount

Well, Springer is selling quickly.

I feel sorry for those who didn't order last night.

Looks like BBTS got another shipment of them. Mine finally went into my POL today and I just shipped them.

Ordered Springer on Saturday, arrived on Tuesday. That was phenomenal.

Well I missed out on Springer but £25 for Blitzwing to be shipped to the UK is ok with me. Doubt we'll see him in UK stores anytime soon.

These are both back in stock at $22.99 for now...

Nevermind

I'm merging several Blitzwing and Springer topics into one ...

It's time to move over Fortress Maximus ... Generations Metroplex is here! Who needs fireworks on 4th of July when you've got this amazing gallery of the biggest Transformers toy ever made. Generations Metroplex arrived just in time to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Transformers brand as part of Hasbro's Generations "Thrilling 30" line.



This massive 2 feet tall Titan Class Autobot finally takes the long standing 26 year title as the tallest Transformers toy ever from fan-favorite Fortress Maximus. While Fort Max will always have a special place in the collections of Transformers fans across the world, Metroplex will undoubtedly shoot to the top as the must-have Transformers toy due to his sheer size, affordable price point, multitude of features, accessories and the fact that he's fully poseable (try putting your Fort Max into some action poses and you'll quickly see how Metroplex takes the top spot).



Metroplex comes complete with lights, sounds, articulated eyes, three massive cannons (one of which is a missile launcher), ramps, hidden cannons, a battle station mode, a city mode, and even comes with his Legends Class buddy Scamper.

"The most vast and mighty Autobot ever created, Metroplex is a member of a race long thought of as nothing more than legend. He is impossibly ancient, brought online in a time before the long memory of his Autobot comrades even began. He is a living artifact of an era when Cybertron was united, and needed defenders only against hostile outsiders. It is his memory of that peaceful past that drives him to fight for the Autobots. It is hope for the return of peace that motivates him to crush every Decepticon he can see beneath his mighty feet."

The biggest Autobot ever is over 2 feet tall and he's going to crush his Decepticon foes! This enormous 3-in-1 Metroplex figure's glowing eyes will make even the fiercest Decepticon think twice about taking him on. His lights and sounds make the action even more intense! In robot mode his firing missile will take them down, and he converts to battle vehicle mode when he needs some enormous firepower! He even converts to fortified city mode for massive adventures! He comes with a Scamper Legends figure to fight at his side. Make your Transformers adventures gigantic with this awesome Metroplex figure!

Without further ado, you can't have the first ever Titan Class Transformer without an appropriately massive gallery to accompany it here on Seibertron.com.

"Metroplex is my kind of town!"
- Blaster (Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5)

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu[...]uuuuuuuuuude.



And this one takes the biscuit. Literally.

The unpainted face is a disappointment, but othewise...DANG, is he impressive!

Too bad I don't have space for him/my girlfriend will never let that in the apartment.

Maybe if I rearrange the collection and put the MPs elsewhere...

Amazing pics dude. I have a question. Do any deluxe sized figures fit on the surfaces of Metroplex? I see you have Sideswipe rolling out of the edge of the track in base-mode. Does he actually fit further in? He is small for a deluxe, so was curious.

Quick! While it's still the Fourth of July, someone skilled in the art of digibashing make an American themed Metroplex!

i really dont like the fact that i have to use all of those stickers.
take some pics with that tiny prime that came with revenge of the fallen Stratosphere

... so how long will it take for a third party to look at metroplex and create a kit to go with for creating Sixgun and Slammer

Six months to a year for the developmental phase, then another six to pump them out and get them ready for shipping.

Just an educated guess, nothing more.

I am betting that Metroplex will be repainted into Fort Max.

While I welcome such a move, I'd much rather see a Decepticon counterpart come out first: more specifically, Metroplex's rival, Trypticon. In the same size in height, please.

If they do indeed retool this into Fortress Maximus, I ask that they retool the head for the Headmaster-ception gimmick and also make his corresponding rival, Scorponok.

LOST Cybertronian wrote:I am betting that Metroplex will be repainted into Fort Max.

Has a toy roughly his size actually been significantly repainted by Hasbro in recent years? I'm talking genuine new decos, not color variants or new stuff added.

I always had a soft spot for Metroplex when Iwas a kid and seeing this new figure, well I know I was right to love that autobot!

It was about damn time Metroplex would hit the Generations toys line! Of course, now, we NEED a Trypticon update like Metroplex got!

If this figure gets a re-deco, it will surely be Metrotitan.

Having a Generations Fort Max would be amazing too, and he would maybe regain his title as the biggest Tf ever made.. by towering Metroplex by a foot or two...

Metroplex heeds the call of the Almighty Dollar.

Could I get a little help here guys?
I'm really not sure which one is best to get-Hasbro or Takara?
See, I prefer the Takara deco, (chrome, extra gun) and being in UK, I'd order from Kapow toys, which at the moment has both for roughly the same price (just £5 difference)

BUT

Have we seen anything to suggest Takara's comes with all the stickers? I LOVE all those stickers and it may sound a bit crazy to some but if TT's doesn't have them...well

Thanks if anyone knows

I can't see why the sticker sheet wouldn't be in the takara version..

That ramp bugs the hell out of me.

I can see them not putting a launcher inside but they flat out neutered it with that wall at the top of the ramp so you can't roll a figure in and out of the tunnel. I don't get the thinking behind that.

Doubtful that (if he is done) Trypticon will be the same height. His T-Rex mode would make him quite a bit longer which would translate to him being a bit shorter to keep the weight and costs down.

WOW

Metrosex looks awesome!

Great pics!!!!

But he looks terrible with Deluxes. I think Metro deserves legend scale and smaller, just to get the right impression of how BIG Metro is supposed to be. I know the original Metro (G1) didn't exactly make room for Optimus and the bigger guys - you were supposed to pose him with BB and his tiny counterparts.

Just sayin', the deluxes standing there make Metro look silly...

Agreed on all 3 points, lol. The painted face made me want to go TakaraTomy. On the other hand, I love the chest sticker featuring my boy UM, Prime, Arcee, BB. It made Metroplex more 3D. I think TTomy is all solid red. Then the lack of space. I got away with FMax as he's now hidden inside the closet so the wife is okay with that.

Awesome!

Great pics. I think I'm sold on Metroplex now. A very cool figure.

Darn you, how am I supposed to resist this figure now?!

Get a tiny tiny apartment?

And this will be problematic. No doubt I'm getting it, but when I move out... Ho boy.

"it's a lion...its huge!!

but yeah wow, this thing is massive. i dont have any of the smaller toys so it was hard getting a good idea of the size but i do still have my G1 Metroplex and knowing his size and seeing just how tiny he is next to this one....damn!!!

and i LOVE the Trypticon as a pet images...hilarious!

if this Titan line is truly the beginning of more....i wonder if they'd do a Unicron at this size. i already have that anniversary version so thats enough for me but damn i bet it be pretty cool, especially if he was as movie acurate as possible.

There are enough flat surfaces on the face and thighs of Metroplex for Reprolabels to add a lot more interest to these areas. And I wonder how many 3P add-on/upgrades we'll get. If I can't snag a SDCC version, I'm definitely sticking with this one.

What I don't like about this Metroplex, and the pictures of the G1 Metroplex, is they never have the city mode transformed right on the G1 version, and you can't transform the new Metroplex to look like the G1 transformation in city mode from what I've seen of the leg articulation and the ramp placement. The G1's leg positioning looked like this:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4 ... AA280_.jpg?tag=seibertron07-20&

Why did they break this look with the new Metroplex?

Thanks for the pic, I never put him like that before
What bothers me about the launcing ramp on the titan metroplex is the vertical piece of plastic that prevents us to stick a figure inside the hull with the ramp extended... a very bad desing ther, its only flaw

Has anyone figured out where the missile can be store in Metroplex? It seems like Hasbro is usually really good about giving us a place to store missiles and such. Seems like it'd be an oversight if there's not a place to store the lone missile that I have a feeling will become one of the most valuable pieces of this set over time.

Besides just leaving it in the gun?

Did you try the missile launcher yet? It shoots the missile pretty far. I'm just concerned that the missile will get shot out accidentally and I'll lose it.

quite frankly, I'll leave it in the gun, attached to metro's hand, and leaving it alone...

Can you believe it's been almost 30 years since the debut of Springer and his current mold mate Sandstorm? Well, in 2016 it will be. (3 years from now! Can you believe it?) Since then, we fans have patiently (okay, impatiently) waited for new, updated versions of these characters/toys, and Hasbro has finally heard our cries and answered.

First, of course, was Springer which you can see here.

And now, thanks to a drastic remolding and redeco, that same base figure has been turned into Sandstorm! And quite an impressive retooling, too.

We've provided a few images here to get your feet wet, but you can click on any of the pictures below to dive right into the full gallery.
