It's a pity he didn't come with his Mini Con Drill Bit like the original did, would have been interesting to see a mini con scaled to function with a Titan class. Metroplex was apparently designed as part of the aborted Diaclone line, Jizai Gattai (自在合体 "Limitless Combination"), given the high degree of interactivity he has with other toys confirmed as part of it—namely, the Aerialbots, Stunticons, Protectobots and Combaticons. Each of the smaller "limb" robots from these four groups (and those that came after using their basic design, like the Technobots, Terrorcons and Seacons) can plug into ports in Metroplex's shoulders and knees in robot mode, while the base modes of the four leaders— Silverbolt, Hot Spot, Motormaster, and Onslaught—can connect to him in city mode. While the former feature was included in the Hasbro instructions, the latter was omitted (For the curious, Onslaught and Silverbolt use the slots on his knees, Hot Spot and Motormaster use the protruding slots on the sides of his legs). The peg-size of Metroplex's weapons also allows them to be wielded by the leaders (minus Silverbolt) and super-robots these teams create. This interactivity was played up greatly for his Japanese release, where he was part of the Scramble City sub-line. In issue #8 of the Dreamwave Armada comic, there is a statue of what looks like Metroplex carrying Cybertron on his shoulders. Other than those things though he's a cool figure, looks bigger than he is due to the way his torso and legs are designed, he's a tiny smidge short than Generations Metroplex yet seems just as big. On a battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons partially on top of Metroplex's dormant city form, Optimus slammed his hand to the ground, awakening the city to help the Autobots. Metroplex, heeding the call of the last Prime, subsequently transformed into his robot mode and started blasting the Decepticons.

Action figure converts from robot to excavator mode in 52 steps. Features flip-down welding mask in robot mode The name or term "Drill Bit" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Drill Bit (disambiguation). There were a few parts that ended up shifting molds right before tool start, so sadly the shoulder cannons could not be molded in the intended gun metal gray, and had to be molded with sections of the feet. While we are not immune to development changes, the end result actually aligns more closely to the original toy. Transformers: Legacy action figures are great kids’ toys and exciting collectibles for fans of all ages.In the second chapter of Fall of Cybertron, Metroplex can be seen in his alternate form at the beginning of the level. Good points! I agree on most of what you said. I do hope the Legacy line matches up with previous lines as well. I'm intrigued by the new Stunticons coming and wonder if it's just a "one-off," because the one Combiner Wars set that was the worst was that Stunticon set, and Hasbro just want to do right by redoing Menasor, or if we'll be getting a whole redo on all the combiners, too. Metroplex's head and guns came with Optimus Prime, his body with Omega Supreme, his left arm with Devastator, his right arm with Megatron, his left leg with Starscream, and his right leg with Ratchet.

Generations Metroplex was repurposed as Aligned Metroplex by Transformers: The Covenant of Primus. Holy Frijoles, dudes. The Japanese book Transformers Generations contains concept art for an unmade Action Master version of Metroplex. CHOKING HAZARD: This product may contain small parts. It is not a toy and only suitable for the persons over 15 years old. Metroplex was featured on a card in the Heroes of Cybertron trading card series which Wedge owned. Battle of the BotsIn another scenario, where the Autobots gave up searching for a ship with invisibility capabilities, Metroplex and all the Autobots inhabiting him were caught by surprise by a fleet of identical ships swooping down upon them. The Autobots were all destroyed as Galvatron gloated of his victory. The Invisibility Factor Released as part of the fifth wave of the e-HOBBY exclusive Transformers Character Card series, this pair of holographic trading cards depict super-deformed art of Metroplex and Trypticon along with character profiles and tech specs. And then there is the vehicle mode, where he turns into a massive excavator. Now, this is not the most glorious of vehicles, but this is a great mode for a guy that just wants to spend his days building. This mode works great with the Core Class figures. He looks even more massive with little Transformers running around all over him. Since the story of the E3 Trailer seemingly follows on from the Fall of Cybertron VGA Cinematic Trailer, it is possible that the battleground in the VGA Trailer is also supposed to be at least partially Metroplex. In 2011, as part of his massive assault to retake Cybertron, Galvatron unleashed Trypticon on Metroplex, the battle thoroughly occupying the Earth forces of the Autobots, keeping them from coming to Cybertron's defense. The Great Transformer War #3

With over 130 retailers in fourteen states primarily located in the southwest and southeast of the United States, Legacy is poised for exponential growth as affordable housing becomes more popular, accessible, and desirable for today's housing consumers.Out of all the WFC/Legacy titans, this one is by far the most unimpressive to handle and showcases the least impressive engineering. There's no companion figure, the worker mode is barely distinct from the main robot mode and the vehicle mode is just a mildly disguised dude in a yoga pose. Metroplex returned to Cybertron, where he served as a base of operations for Alpha Trion while he began his endeavours to restore the damaged planet to habitability. Despite his prodigious strength and size, Metroplex was of little use in battle against the Insecticon swarm that had overrun Cybertron (the swarm was simply too great in size, and would eat their way inside his systems before he could destroy them all), so instead, Alpha Trion resurrected the deceased Ironhide to carry out the task. Once Ironhide had reduced the swarm's numbers to a mere two hundred, Alpha Trion had Metroplex transform to robot mode and crush the remaining Insecticons beneath his massive palms. Subsequently, Alpha Trion and Metroplex left Cybertron for parts unknown, off to put into motion the next move in the great, enigmatic game Alpha Trion was playing. Any Old Iron
