I just love seeing metroplex posed with other bots from different universes, it really creates that "multiversal war" atmosphere for me.

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
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
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

@@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.

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
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?
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?

Keep up the amazing reviews my guy!
Love this dudes commentary!!!! The toe bend !!!! I never thought about the reverse foot n making the digger portion a toe bend
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 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
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.
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.

You can get it for $114 USD on US Amazon right NOW.
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.
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?
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
Great review, this figure is nuts!
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
I hope they work on MENASOR and QUICKMIX Galaxy Force 😎
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!
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.
For some energon love I’d kill for a good legacy energon landmine/landquake
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
The more I see reviews of this guy the more I want him. God dam this is a cool looking toy
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.
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
This thing is more true to old cybertron toys more than optimus or override or hot shot
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 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?
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.
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.
Im adding the toyhax decals to mine. They really make him pop! I cant wait for the dna designs hand upgrades and minicon
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.
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)
I grabbed it for 80 bucks brand new from a local seller and I am happy
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.
Dying to get this, Zarak and The Ark. A Trypticon inspired Nemesis would slap. Tidal wave needs some love.
If, and I mean IF, I get this heccing chonk, I’m probably gonna display him in work mode with the regular head
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).
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.
I recommend getting his upgrade kit it comes with his minicon,some better hands, and something for his weapon
Reminds me of the Flintstones lol . With the mini bot
I picked this guy up at tfcon chicago for 170 USD, first titan and I absolutely love it
I freakin love the figure myself! So much that I pre-ordered his upgrade kit😍
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
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
But does he head the call of the last prime?....yes...yes he does!
Found it for $100 American on amazon, definitely buying
This brought back memories of me pinching my fingers all the time on the original toy
This guy and black zarak are priced sweet and the upcoming ridal wave looks good
There’s an upgrade kit from DNA coming with drill bit and posable hands
Just ordered my for like $198! Feel so guilty for spending so much, but this guy was my childhood!
Hasbro: how many Rachet joints do you want on this figure Metroplex: YES
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
My ultimate wish is a retool of the Kingdom Galvatron mold into Energon Megatron.
Just got this lad and he is bigger than I expected. I was tired after posing him
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
I recently acquired it and found it is in show scale with the old cybertron toys like cybertron defense Scattorshot
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
I cant wait for them to give some Energon characters the love they deserve, I really hope they do Divebomb, Cruellock and Snowcat
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?
God now I really want this figure
Question do the little blue parts in the bottom of the torso come out to form mini arms
Imagin a titan combiner...
Walmart having him cost 106 american dollars right now 💀💀
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
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 apologise for being in your left ear most of this segment." Joke's on you, I'm half-deaf anyway.
I owe my dad so much for him getting me this for Christmas…..it’s fucking amazing.
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
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!

In my head I use this as the same metroplex as the g1 but re furbished because he was Disfunction after a series fight triptacon plus I refuse to spend 1000$ on the war for cybertron version
We just need Cybertron Evac and Cybertron Scourge to finish the 4 Colony Leaders, and Evac could easily be a retool of Siege Spinister.
i have a little question for you: do you prefer this figure or the war for cybertron siege omega supreme ?
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...
I just really want a mad max style junkeon retooled metroplex
