I think they might have been referring to the red guns.
Hot damn, this looks sweet. Its also kind of annoying coz its perfect for cyberverse/legends/whatever not-deluxes, and that's a good reason to grab more of that scale... even though I hate that scale coz it isn't as good as deluxe.

If this thing actually says "Metroplex heeds the call of the last Prime" I swear I'll buy 3 of him.

His thighs don't slide inside the lower legs and yet still they give him knee joints so high up he can't kneel comfortably.
"What shall we do with the hands? Ah, we'll just fold them up. Never mind hiding them inside the forearms or anything, even though there's nothing in them."

I Agree. Such a lazy release. For something this big and modern, it doesn't even have an ankle tilt. Dynamic posing this big toy would look awkward.

Dude, alcohol, it helps the cynisism and negative view of all things amazing.

This had better be an imperfect transformation.
Hasbro all over: It's great, but it is not as good as it could be with a little extra effort.

According to some Canadian (eh) Toys "R" Us computer, Metroplex will be around the $99 price point. So about the same price as MP10.

Also, I want a white/gray repaint of legends Warpath as Slammer! That would be awesome!

Because you weren't sitting at your desk with Legends Warpath in your hand looking at pictures of Metroplex?

I don't even have Legends Warpath, or Sparkcrusher.

Most of my money is on Trypticon, but I'll hold a little out for a brand new mold of Scorponok.
It would be really sweet if they retool this into Fortress Maximus, complete with a Headmaster in a Headmaster.

gothsaurus wrote:Yeah, since their transformation is similar, I'd go with a heavy-retool as Fort Max! Or a completely new mold. Either one. Just do it!
Where's the fun in that? I want scale accuracy. FortMax should be 10-feet tall and includes a Headmaster helmet that can be really worn by the fan who wiped out their entire life savings to buy it.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but weren't city Transformers kinda the same size in the original cartoon? I know there were massive differences toy-wise, but what does the fiction say?
