It's Transformers Tuesday and Hasbro will reveal a new toy in the Legacy line, the titan class figure Metroplex from the Cybertron show/toyline, which is part of the Unicron Trilogy. This adds a new era of Transformers lore to the Legacy line which already had G1, G2, Beast Wars, and Prime characters.

Preorders will go up in the afternoon on Hasbro Pulse and several other online stores which is where we are getting this info. The price will be $190. Below is an image of the leaked photo we had already seen and it will be replaced by the proper photos once the announcement goes live.

Do we know for sure that it's the Titan that's being revealed??

And I was disappointed to see them perpetuating that mistake into the Legacy line. G1 Ransack was vastly superior in engineering that way. And in many ways, it still is. So I approve of the OPTION of using those ugly energon weapons to simulate an abdomen. It ain't perfect, but I guess it's better than nothing.

If my minions can FIND a Deluxe Kickback at all, that is. The Legacy Deluxes are proving about has hard to find as Netflix Bumblebee was...

Apparently, from all I have read, that just means you are delaying boredom/disappointment. While he most definitely looks the part in both modes, Legacy Kickback is said to be one of the most uninventive and boring toys we have gotten in a long while.

Speaking of abdomens, I do find it cool that they had upped the complexity slightly for the Titans Return one by giving him an abdomen, and he had that extra playability with the chest window.

Nothing about that Metroplex... Images or descriptions have any appeal to me.
He's obviously very fashion-forward with that handbag he's holding!

There's $190 saved... Possibly for the reissue of Predaking.

Other than it's weapons being a bit off or just a bit meh, he looks really good (oh and obviously apart from vehicle mode that is what it is due to transformation).

However, having had the original I kinda wish they had given it a fourth mode of some kind of base mode even if non screen accurate and even then it wouldnt make up for the lack of features. a pass for me and like a lot of modern toys are out done by the G1 versions it's kinda (not) nice to know it applies to other transformer ranges too.

Easy pass on Cybertron Metroplex, as I initially thought. But that price hike ( which we also knew was coming) makes it even easier. Still, I will miss the tradition of getting a new Titan this summer, as I have for the last several years.

As much as I enjoy some aspects of the Ark, I may just end up selling it. Mainframe/ Teletraan is pretty neat though, and is the main reason I keep it. If Pulse ever does a single release Mainframe in Action Master colors, I will probably sell the Ark.

There's going to be a re-issue of Predaking?

Glad that non-G1 toys are starting to show up at bigger size classes though I wonder if using this Metroplex was the best idea :-?

Looking at the images that just dropped on Pulse, I think Metroplex looks pretty good! Does help with having a lot more expressive articulation than the original and the Sparkdrinker looks quite mighty. At least the "work mode" has more effort put into it to make it seem somewhat different, heh.
Probably won't get it though, I don't got room for more Titans.

Just saw the Metroplex photos.

From a detail standpoint this thing looks impressive. I am glad they enhanced the transformation somewhat by tucking the shoulders behind the crawler mose and making this thing more compact. The weapons becoming hand gauntlets is a nice feature for playability.

But I am not overly attached to Cybertron Metroplex so this is a pass for me unless he hits some Hella sale

Oof, the price is rather hefty, which is mildly irritating as this is the first Titan where without a shadow of a doubt I want him. He looks really cool.

RIP Inferno getting absolutely shredded to pieces on that boxart, goddamn.

I grew up with the UT, I want this guy, he looks good and while no Minicon is sad I can deal...but as much as it pains me to say, I just don't know that I can commit to $200 + tax for him in my current financial situation, especially with Victory Saber also later this year.

Still a rumor, obvsly... If it does happen, I'm leaning towards getting him this time.
The main problem???

S P A C E

I looked at the photos of Metroplex on BBTS to get a better look.
Still not at all impressed... I don't like either of the alt modes at all.
Now, as a kid, when I played with toys, I probably would've enjoyed this figure.
The bot mode looks better than the original, but still... And almost $200... No way. No day.

Okay, was skeptical of Metroplex, but gotta say, I think he looks pretty good. I really like the details they put in, and the inclusion of a weapon is awesome! Wouldn't doubt that that played a part in the price hike, but as is, I'm kinda excited for him

Agreed. When I first head about Metroplex I was excited until I learned it wouldn't be G1 look and instead be that huge drilling/cutting vehicle. Never watched universe but even if I had its still not my Metroplex.

Oh well it's $200 saved that I really didn't want to fork out on a toy anyway, which is probably for the best. lol

I'll just wait for the rumored Cosmos and hopefully they get around to G1 Hound before I bail complete.

Okay, I was NOT expecting to love this reveal as much as I was. This thing is kinda stupid I’ll admit, but it just looks so cool! Maybe it’s the blue.

But I kinda really dig how this is a Titan you could display with your regular figures and it won’t be totally out of scale. I mean I guess we’ve got a few of those…Devastator, Predaking…Omega Supreme, kinda… but the rest have been City Bots and The Ark. so I could have this guy fighting Devastator and not have that nagging part of my brain telling me it’s not a realistic scenario for my green transforming evil robot construction vehicles to fight the giant transforming robot spaceship.

Am I making any sense or am I just rambling now?

No Mini-Con, no Cyber Planet Key, no axe configuration for his weapon, and his altmode loses its cockpit.

At least he's closer in size to how big he actually was in the cartoon.

I was also thinking it could be the G1 Metroplex... And since I skipped him, and Omega, and Predaking, I was thinking, "Sure, there's a chance I'm in this time".
But like you, this isn't my Metroplex.

My plan right now is to completely bow-out as soon as I have Snarl, Swoop, Shrapnel and Bombshell.
Anyone else along the way/wait, is just a bit of icing.

first titan I don't need. I am happy enough with the original. plus this one doesn't seem to have his planet key. even if you take out the spring loaded gimmick, not having his cyber planet key seems a bit off. also, looks like he's chopping beast wars Inferno to bits on the box art. our first look at that figure maybe?

Looking at him longer, I'm wondering if they're going to do Drill Bit in the future as a stand-alone figure like Cog, Slammer, Fasttrack, etc? There's pegs on the shovel that do nothing currently, but would be in the right place to attach Drill Bit, and the Minicons for the Giant Planet crew were always bigger than the typical ones.

This adds a new era of Transformers lore to the Legacy line which already had G1, G2, Beast Wars, and Prime characters.

Preorders are up now at various site sponsors like BBTS, TFSource and Hasbro Pulse for $200. Below is a product description followed by images. To answer questions that have been circulating online, there is no Mini-Con, no Cyber Planet Key, no axe configuration for his weapon, and his alt mode loses its cockpit. However, he is more articulated than the original, more complex (the hands have a transformation step to hide them for the alt mode) and much much larger, making him closer to scale with how he was in the show. He also retains a third worker mode. Also, we get our first look at wave 3 voyager Inferno on the box art, being destroyed.

Having had no attachment to the original version of this Metroplex, I see nothing about this Legacy remake which makes me think 'must have'. The robot mode is too lanky in the tall version, too squat in the short version. The vehicle mode looks like a wadded up robot (but to be fair, many of the 'base' modes for all the previous titans suffered likewise). And there are many bits and bobs hanging off that look like they just weren't integrated properly.

Easy pass.

Thanks all. What a strange and random thing to have as an altmode. On the one hand, it makes more sense than the "battle station" mode of Fort Max and G1 Metroplex. I've got no attachment in the character but, a piece of Machinery that
size will likely compliment the City Bots well. I paid £99 each for Trypticon and Fort Max. When this guy drops to that, I might pick him up.

Do we have the measurements on this figure yet? I imagine it will be a bit shorter than 2 feet because of the huge weapon accessory.

I like it as well, I used to have the Takara version that came with the legends class Optimus. I got it preordered, I have plenty of time to change my mind if I decide against it.

I'm gonna guess if the Titans are going to be continued, we're getting a Decepticon next, but who?

Each of the four colony worlds had a different theme:

Jungle Planet: Beasts
Planet Earth: Humanity
Giant Planet: Construction

Metroplex and his people were of the Giant Planet and all turned into massive construction vehicles.

Alright, I guess the price increase is covering the extra materials and engineering. Even though this really just looks like an oversized version of the Cybertron figure.

Not Titan scale though. At first, unaware of the UT history. I thought his altmode was supposed to be a homage to the Hive machines in The Rebirth...

Cybertron Metroplex looks great. While losing the Cyber Key gimmick is a shame, it's still a fantastic figure in my eyes. And the "worker mode" is interesting.

Anyway, one thing I think is cool is that the worker mode is quite different from the standard robot, especially compared to the OG toy. Also reminds me a bit of Engels from Nier: Automata with the bucketwheel arm...

Looks like a cool figure. I wonder if we can fanmode a city mode somehow out of him. Those modes are always my major reason for getting the Titans.
I'm thinking the Galactic Odyssey set with Ironworks would look pretty cool set up next to this.

Nope. Nope, the more I look at this Legacy Metroplex, the uglier it gets.

Am I the only one that likes this guy. He;'s got some really nice improvements over the original like ankle title and hide-away hands, but otherwise provides a very accurate representation of the cartoon character.

I think its great. I may just bit the bullet and get him.

The missing cyber key and minion is kind of sad, the new weapon gimmick almost makes up for it. Not that the key did much anyway on the original. It juts split open the saw wheel and engaged the little red light. (no sounds).

Not having it, does not really detract form the overall figure in any way.

Guess I'll have to dig out my Cyb Metroplex from storage for a photo session with the new version.

Also, for those saying its good he's very tall, the original toy was always taller than everybody in full robot mode. Heck he was taller than Primus for Primus sake. Even though he was only Leader Class.

While Menasor was Ultra Class.

The general vibe I feeling from most of the detractors, here, is that he bears the name "Metroplex".

He can always be referred to by his original name: Megalo Convoy! 8-)
