Just sayin', you'd think they'd hit the packaging up with some "suggested use" images...

My mind goes to "condoms". But more interesting than that, I wonder if they DID have TF Condoms, that were limited editions, how many future babies would there be, simply because collectors just couldn't open that Optimus condom?
The Decepticon condoms would be empty packages, I think. Lots of Decepticon babies.

Usually, its a Comb shaped thing that fits either on or under a desk and threads the indidual cords you might be using in your computer setup so that they aren't a huge tangled rats nest and pulling on your mouse does not result in a knot of wires yanking the printer off with the speakers. Or a lot of people will position one or two to keep anything running underneath their desk out of their feet.
And whilke this goes well enough with a Blaster USB hub, Magnus as speakers, and whatever Fort Max's noggin was used for, I really don' see how Metroplex's noggin is "comb shaped" or "useful".

Thanks for the explanation! So if it goes under your desk... why does it need to be Metro?
I guess it's like others have said: collector's item. Cause this makes no useful sense. I could understand a wallet or some cell-phone charm (not that American phones even have hook openings for the charms), etc.
You know what'd be even better and limited? A METROPLEX MOTORCYCLE HELMET. That would be appropriately epic.

Motorcycle helmet=Awesome
Gotta modify my previous explanation though. What I think of as a cord holder is this:
or
But as I browse the internet I'm seeing things that look like those slap bracelets and are used to wrap cords with a little more pizzazz than say your average ziptie.
I suspect, going by the red thing coming out of Metroplex's neck, that this is what they are going for. I thought it was a cardboard insert of some kind going into his neck and holding his head in place, but now I'm not so sure.
