I just love seeing metroplex posed with other bots from different universes, it really creates that "multiversal war" atmosphere for me.
Transformers secret wars?
@@smallstudiofilms6632 exactly what i was thinking
@@smallstudiofilms6632 I wonder who would be the TF equivalent to Doctor Doom, maybe Shockwave?
@@himitsu_tokusketch Shockwave is the logical choice
@@themysteriousmista4922 indeed, quite logical
I got this guy from Target for $95 US and I've been loving every bit of him. He's such a fun Titan and I'm so glad he got made.
im calling bullshit, theres no way you got him for under 100 bucks so close to his release, no way they had an over 50% discount so quickly
@@beepbeeplettuce5890 it’s possible
@@beepbeeplettuce5890 why hes not alone
@@beepbeeplettuce5890 i just picked up legacy dead end for 16 usd at target
@@woah2808 lucky bastard.
No offense and congrats on getting Dead End man.
I hadn't exactly *seen* this Metroplex, I kinda knew it existed, so mentally I had the size of the original Cybertron Metroplex in mind, maybe a bit bigger.
and then I see it and like "holy sh-t what the FU-"
As a kid who grew up with Cybertron, Metroplex was always the one just out of reach, that I never got...
So having him now, in this immense state, is hugely satisfying in a way I cannot begin to describe. The only thing I can really complain about are the hands, and the lack of Drill Bit, his mini-con...
If hasbro released an official drill-bit core class, like how they made Fasttrack as a companion to Scorponok, I would go NUTS.
Check out the DNA Design kit then. It gives everything you are looking for!
@@MattLipinski oh i already plan to!
Just wanted to state my opinions on the first party stuff first...
...that and I may have ptsd from dna designs scorponok stuff.
He was the one I was missing to complete the omega lock keys.
I’m gigachad and I approve
hello gigachad
Are you like transformers franchise, gigachad?
What a fucking chad
I AM [[Number One Rated Salesman1997]] AND I [Approved]
@@Number_1_Rated_Salesman1997 holy shit! Is the funny sales man!
I hope we get more Excavator transformers, they're just so cool
People were complaining that it wasn’t G1? They had the whole siege line and stuff and I like this more actually than the G1 Metroplex design
For a more realistic blade saw look and grip have the white rectangle thing on the saw half on the top side before merging the weapon halves, then have his hand closer to the blade hold it from previously mentioned white piece. The top side of the white bar also helps him hold it more than the intended handles hand plug in.
the "its not geewun!" complaints back when this was unveiled really pissed me off (and still do), because its so entitled, out of the 10 Titan class figures made, 9 of them are G1 (that means 90%) or G1 adjacent, but I just heard a constant stream of "hasbro should have rereleased T30 Metroplex" (some even wanted an entirely new mold of G1 Metroplex), or "no one wanted this"
well, as someone who does prefer G1 most of the time, let me tell you I wanted this, its something different, and more importantly, it acknowledges that Transformers is not just G1 fans, there are tons of people who came into Transformers during the Unicron Trilogy who have been waiting for a chance to have their favorite toys and characters updated (I have a similar feeling towards SW and the lack of toys for non-ot content)
Agreed 100%, I love the original G1 Metroplex design however this reimagined legacy version is a fantastic homage to the classic while being totally original, and this enormous figure is outstanding in every way. So happy to pick him up, and I am starting to prefer it to the original design, although, how about a repaint and slight remodel of this legacy sculpt lole they did with Black Zarak/Scorponok, in the G1 colours to appease everyone? That could definitely work, I would pick him up for sure
This titan is a absolute beast
Also I was flip a table if energon omega superior gets made
I really wish I had the space for more titans. Unicron took up a LOT of space on my shelves, and now I'm considering every purchase veeeery carefully. For now I'm content to admire Black Zarak, the Ark, and Metroplex from afar. Wondering what new titan's gonna be the one to make me crack. Armada Tidal Wave, maybe.
Heads up. Target has a sale on it for $151 USD and can be combined with the one time use 25% off any toy deal for $112 plus tax
That whole thing about shelving space in the beginning of the video… I felt that on a _SPIRITUAL_ level.
And speaking of *D E E P* discount… would $50 cut it?
I mean I got mine for $100 off at tfcon a couple weeks ago so it really depends on your sense of a good deal
If you’re still wanting him, Big Bad Toy store has a 50% discount for today only. Hope you see this in time, mate.
@@BugBoss1205 appreciated, but unnecessary. I legit got this guy for $50.
@@Archive_7802 HOW??????

Bro I feel you!
That's why I like you. You're an overall TF enjoyer. :')
I grew up with RID (2001), Unicron Trilogy, Bayverse, Animated and a little bit of Prime
I'm so sick to get G1 after G1 after G1... Seeing these figures from early 2000 makes me happy. I hope they keep bringing more figures! And dunno... Maybe Masterpieces from RiD '01 to Animated/Prime?
Is it wrong of me to say I’m happy their doing comic or show characters that haven’t been turned g1. I love g1 as it’s the first transformers series but there have been so many cooler and dare I say better series since then and I would be much happier if they made a show with new designs targeted at an older audience that’s not trash like Netflix wfc with the current quality of figures.
No need to dare to say anything is better then G1, G1 sucked. Anything is better then that show
@@therailfanman2078 if G1 sucked we would all be watching "GOBOTS: War of the Renegades" but clearly that is not the case, G1 has aged and it's rushed production lead to many animation errors, but what it did have was a good story hook and character designs that held your attention. Then you have voice actors doing really good jobs at giving them personalities and a general set of plots around things that have been relevant since the gulf war (ie the war over resources)
I get that G1 gets overdone, but hasbro still sees most of their audience as kids who will grow up throw out their toys only for anew generation to want those same characters 2/3 years later. So right now holding onto trademarks has become one of their biggest driving forces. Still it's not a reason to get upset at G1 just because it's hasbros favourite little child these days.
Its not wrong of you in the slightest. Hasbro has been riding that G1 dick for 5 years giving them exactly what they wanted, its our turn to get things we want that aren't G1.
@@therailfanman2078 okay yeah to say the show has aged poorly would be an understatement but the designs and characters are still good. And while I would say I prefer most series after it there that’s everything but beast machines and bay films, it still is the basis of the series. Now do I want a new take after this dumb long time stuck in g1 yes. Will they actually move on, no. Hasbro is a business and they see we like g1 so they make g1.
honestly, I'm one of the few ppl who liked the movie design, so maybe getting a show with a design phylosophy as daring and ready to deviate completly as the movies did would be pretty cool.
One of the first things I did when I got him was taking his shoulder apart and sand down the pawl on the ratchet joint. It’s basically the same fix as for the Arkbot. For the ankles I opened him up and used some rubber into the gap of the pawl to tighten it.
I personally hope they bring back my favorite combiner Tripredacus in the future, I owned him...twice because Ram horn is fragile and breaks way too easily, spent about 200$ for each set...
I gotta say that I'm a little disappointed that the chest piece the head is a part of doesn't have a place to click in with Work Mode, because it looks like it's clicked into place on the instructions. Other than that, and one other seemingly small problem, I absolutely LOVE this figure! Hell, I didn't even know about the ankle swivel until you showed it off!
Most articulated titan figure. Great review 👏🏻
And upgrade kit is already available. Making it more awesome
Love this dudes commentary!!!! The toe bend !!!! I never thought about the reverse foot n making the digger portion a toe bend
Keep up the amazing reviews my guy!
Up to preference, but you can choose to transform him in the exact configuration the original toy did where the shoulders stuck out and the rear treads facing the opposite way and it still would look good
I hope the next titan is armada tidal wave
Hey
@@epicphantom589 yep
There is one aready, but expensive
I love how he's so many things. He's an entire city, a giant excavator, has a work mode, and has a normal bot mode, but apparently people forget Hasbro included HE'S A CITY
What's crazy is how this titan is actually in scale with the characters as is. I guess Tital Wave will be too, depending on the shot. Got this on sale on Amazon for $100. It's sooo poseable for a titan.
Where at amazon?
And how tall?
This is an awesome update, and greatly improved from the original. the size alone is insane. Love the level of articulation, and light piping. Can see him on a shelf pulling off a really killer Freddy Mercury pose.
The vehicle mode is actually spot on to that vehicle you showed its just a smaller and different version my uncle works in construction and he drives them and he said that the metroplex vehicle mode looks very close to his rig
I just purchased mine yesterday. Here in Aus he sells for $300Aud but finding went looking and found him for half that at hobby shop that is still surprised its up today.
Can't wait to get mine!
I don't know if you noticed, but those AIR-lock ramps also fold down; he has them each side of each leg, and when you open them, not only are they a more manageable height (though still high), but also allow your Micromasters to drive into little garages in his shin-knees...
I'm hopefully gonna be getting this for Christmas and I can't wait. I'm wondering if its possible to get him into Obi-Wans "I will do what I must" pose, cause that thought came to me randomly while watching this video and now I wanna do it.
We need an update. Did you get one?
Got this guy the other day in a trade the other day. Never planned on getting a titan but have to admit this thing is SICK. Took it out the box once to look at n dammmmnn its huge. I really think i want skorponok or the nemesis now.
The more I see reviews of this guy the more I want him. God dam this is a cool looking toy
You can get it for $114 USD on US Amazon right NOW.
So when this guy was revealed, some people in my comunnity instantly wrote him off "bEcAuSe iTs nOt g1 mEtRoPleX" and i think that is such a dissevice to this toy. My first thought was: do these people honestly even understand the whole point of what the legacy line is about?
I hope they work on MENASOR and QUICKMIX Galaxy Force 😎
Great review, this figure is nuts!
I really love this thing despite his problem to take some poses and how it's a bit hard for him to hold his weapon.
Another best thing about that metroplex is that he’s only one of few Scottish transformers ever
One of two that I can think of
LOVE THIS METROPLES. HE IS HUGE, AWESOME. LOVE THE DETAILS, THE COLOURS. WORTH EVERY CENT. Bro i love the preview of the video you sitting on his shoulder.
Im adding the toyhax decals to mine. They really make him pop! I cant wait for the dna designs hand upgrades and minicon
My mom bought this for me for my birthday and it’s a fun to play around with
Dying to get this, Zarak and The Ark. A Trypticon inspired Nemesis would slap. Tidal wave needs some love.
Coincidentally I just found him at Target, for $150 on sale [USD, just over $200 CSD] from $190 (not the $100 TFormers found, but still) just in time to discover my 2005 C.Metroplex's right hand hinge has cracked. I'm still learning the ins and outs of the figure but quite the upgrade (I don't even end up missing the splitting axe gimmick as it leaves the wheel spinning mostly freely).
What are the chances that in a few years you can find this guy for like 60$ on second hand websites?
Edit: Got him for 110$ with shiping included. F-ing worth it.
I just recently baught this at target for 60 on clearance after Christmas
At 9:30 you can actually see OG minicon ports next to metroplex's worker mode head, on the black part, fully compatible with drill bit and all other minicons.
I know my gripe when seeing this was that it didn't include more ports/dots as I called them. Would get titanplex, but it has less features than I had hoped, namely the cutter becoming an axe.
IMHO, "Titan" class transformers serve a very niche function: to store and or showcase your collection and their individually un-storage-able accessories in either robot or alt form, ultimately a centerpiece tool that a collector can express their individual esthetics through.
After this guy being out for 2 years now he is hands down my favorite titan to own so far and that is because he is so damn expressive in posing and I mess with him a bunch and it's SOOOOO cool (I also paid $90 on Amazon and I got it the day after purchasing)
For some energon love I’d kill for a good legacy energon landmine/landquake
I recommend getting his upgrade kit it comes with his minicon,some better hands, and something for his weapon
This thing is more true to old cybertron toys more than optimus or override or hot shot
I'm good with my Cybertron Metroplex, but I love seeing his big lug.
...give me a repaint of the original Metroplex as Metrotitan or SG Metroplex, Hasbro.
You know this is great when a old g1 guy like me say hes my second favorite titan love the worker bot mode still can afford him amazon has him on sale if you look canada
I am Optimus Prime and I approve of this video
OPTIMUS PRIME WE MEET AGAIN.
@@Soundwave08 Take if what you will as this meeting will be our last…just kidding
@@Optimus_Prime_2007 IDW comics moment.
@@Soundwave08 lol
We meet again, prime.
I freakin love the figure myself! So much that I pre-ordered his upgrade kit😍
quick question does anyone else have trouble tabbing in the arms in step 27 and 28. if so how did you fix it cause when I flip the arms over for the work mode they don't tab in flat which causes the black shoulder covers to stick up and prevent the head and weapon carrier to rotate properly for vehicle transformation.
Question do the little blue parts in the bottom of the torso come out to form mini arms
I bought mine today off of Amazon for $115.97. It would of been around $140 but I ended up getting a $25 Amazon gift card from Secret Santa at the place I work at. My Metroplex is coming in around January 5th. Can't wait for it to come in. Also, I had the original one when I was a kid but I dont have it anymore because I was a kid and he broke. Now that I'm an adult I can have the new one.
I think the LOUD AF ratchets were done on purpose as homage to the original toy...
I was expecting the DNA Design upgrade kit to include "Minicon" pegs that would plug into his elbows and ankles.
All those screw-holes in Work-mode bother me. So I add extra steps in the transformation.
I rotate the upper "hip" of the legs around to have the blue panels facing forward.
When i first got this toy i emediately wanted to see what the 'work mode' looked like, but for some strange reason the left shoulder piece wont clip in, has anyone else had this issue?
I picked this guy up at tfcon chicago for 170 USD, first titan and I absolutely love it
If, and I mean IF, I get this heccing chonk, I’m probably gonna display him in work mode with the regular head
The funny thing you should mention micromasters because I just went on Amazon and found the generations war for Cybertron galactic Odyssey collection six pack today
There’s an upgrade kit from DNA coming with drill bit and posable hands
Next time you do a Transformers Names Literally video, I have an idea for Black Zarak. You could be walking by your front door when you hear someone knocking on it. You go open it and there is Zarak with his claw raised like he was the one who hit the door, because he Scorpo-knocked
Hasbro: how many Rachet joints do you want on this figure
Metroplex: YES
I'm of the G1 generation and I am so glad that Legacy has moved away from G1-ifying things to giving us updates. I missed all of that Cybertron era that you youngsters are into, but I love the aesthetic and designs from that era.
I didn't think they would top the Omega Supreme and Scorponock/BlackZarak titans, but this Metroplex leads the field by a good few lengths. In terms of build, engineering and playability, he stands alone, he can throw shapes like B-boy and he always looks like he is just about to do something. The saw thing is brilliant (guns are lame bro) and the various handles and protrusions it has, makes sure he can wield it with ease.....
...... .despite being quite done with the G1 aesthetic, I think it would be a bold and brilliant move by Hasbro to quickly retool and resculpt this into a G1 Metroplex and steal the thunder from those dweebs making that Rich Kids Special Toy Not For Plebs Metroplex that you will need an entire wing of a house to display it in.
2:24 what's the smaller red and white transformer in the right? had this as a child and have no clue who this is
This brought back memories of me pinching my fingers all the time on the original toy
I grabbed it for 80 bucks brand new from a local seller and I am happy
I was originally gonna pass on this since I have the original, but I managed to snag it for 150 US so I got him. DNA is going to make an upgrade for him to give him his minicon and some fully posable hands which will just make this so much better
i have a little question for you: do you prefer this figure or the war for cybertron siege omega supreme ?
just got one of this dude for 34% off this week and having him next to my legends class guys makes the 5 year old me happy
My Mextroplex feet are having really hard clicking, like they're gonna break. Anyone know a fix or something.
Like one foot was ok then the other not. THEN both have hard clicks.
This guy and black zarak are priced sweet and the upcoming ridal wave looks good
Reminds me of the Flintstones lol .
With the mini bot
Mine as a head tilt n idk if it’s supposed to be like that or if I can fix it
My ultimate wish is a retool of the Kingdom Galvatron mold into Energon Megatron.
Managed to get this for like $100 USD off of Amazon, my first titan class and I love it, though I do want a titan class figure that does actually turn into something
Wow, I have a really old toy that I think is Metroplex, I'm not a big Transformers fan so I don't know if it's worth anything. It's really big, it has dark blue fists and has an abb crunch. Is it worth anything?
But does he head the call of the last prime?....yes...yes he does!
Just ordered my for like $198! Feel so guilty for spending so much, but this guy was my childhood!
Imagine if they gave us a new gimmick line like with mini-cons, I’d enjoy that since I wasn’t around for the unicron trilogy
Did I do something wrong with the transformation? The right leg in escavstor mode the clip that’s supposed to go into where the knee it doesn’t stay it it slides out
Just got this lad and he is bigger than I expected. I was tired after posing him
I recently acquired it and found it is in show scale with the old cybertron toys like cybertron defense Scattorshot
"I apologise for being in your left ear most of this segment."
Joke's on you, I'm half-deaf anyway.
They did say they were going to to Powerlinks they just had to figure out how (I could be remembering things wrong but I remember they at least mentioned it
Also as a new Armada fan I am now dying for the Starscream
I owe my dad so much for him getting me this for Christmas…..it’s fucking amazing.
Game (the retailer) is dropping their points system next month and I have £36 worth of points to spend, my local store has this guy for £100 down from 200, is it worth picking this guy up for £64?
Found it for $100 American on amazon, definitely buying
With the amount of times I heard "Titan" in this video, I really want to play Titanfall now
1:23 I count that as a perk! If I get him for Christmas, oh how much joy I will get out of those loud ratchet joints! Hell, I might find a way to make it even louder and more annoying just to piss my brother off!
What have they done with to wrong you?
@@f-106deltadart many things I'm not going into
I usually avoid big figures couse evn if they are well articulated their size makes them less fun to play with, but this guy is definetelly one i'll be getting soon. Especially that right now on the polish Amazon it costs the same as the retail price of a commander, which is less than half the price of regular titans (at least here)
I really want this guy, I hope I can find him for under or around 100 dollars someday.
Nice robot mode, but a bit thin for my taste. Zarack shows more heft. Also, for those who don't like the work mode, a base mode would have been nice in addition to the vehiclle that looks like... nothing. Hopefully, fan modes are possible due to the numerous articulations. Last but not least : the really high price...
What’s the blue truck at end?
Got him off BBTS for $90, i love the figure but they definitely could've made his ab crunch not so loose
God now I really want this figure
my excavator mode has 360 rotation on the arm if you just move the handle tab
Use this big boy for my 18" combiner army
