While the word "leak" is thrown out quite a bit, we haven't really had leaks like the ones from the POTP line for a good while. But man, we have one today and it's a big one. Next year,s titan class figure, Metroplex from the Cybertron line has been leaked. This is from a presentation by Hasbro and it is also our first look at the Transformers Legacy logo. He has 3 modes and for and they are very faithful to the original toy (for better or worse). We have a link to the original toy's gallery below.
The MSRP will be $189.99 and has a release date of August 2022.

Interseting how this presentation was given to a family dollar representative, which means that there's probably some more of those Authentics Figures coming out.
Also, that alt mode is just plain bad. Metroplex looks like he's someone's prison b!tch

Is it just me or do his hands look…. familiar? Kinda looks like Devastator’s hands. I know they’re not (or at least they shouldn’t be) but… yeah.
Might bite, but then again I’m fine with the original one. All this one’s got over the original is ankle tilts and he’s taller. The original was way fun!

If it were Tidal Wave I'd be down.

If hasbro wants to save on engineering, I would rather pay for a tripticon scaled to match metroplex, leg fixed.

Not sure who this was for but it’s not for me. The weapon looks nice and it’s cool that it splits but this is otherwise a carbon copy for father original I still have with nothing new added on and no Minicon that we can see. For those that missed out on the original and want a new chair at him, great for you guys though

If that Metroplex dosent disintegrate in transformation like The Ark and have the satisfying clickity-clackytack joints of the original, I'll preorder him day one.

This frankly does nothing for me, as someone who has owned the original since childhood. Looks like the only upgrades are the size, ankle pivot, and opening handles on the weapon. Also it doesn't look like he comes with a cyber key, which is a terrible shame.
Why couldn't they have made tidal wave instead? Are the budgets spread so thin a transformation beyond crawling is impossible?

It would be nice if Blitzwing's tank mode is large enough so that it just about scales with Kup and you can recreate that scene. I doubt it will be of course, I'm expecting Blitzwing to be only slightly bigger than Voyager with extra parts and maybe some complex engineering to justify the Leader price point. But I am clinging to the feint hope that he is a big Leader, Hasbro heard the feedback on Siege Astrotrain and are making another, larger one.

VERY eager to see better images of this guy, although that price stings. The fact that the saw end of his weapon actually looks more saw-like and they seem to have taken at least some steps to make the alt mode better looks promising and the fact that he even exists at all still doesn't feel real.
I wonder if he doesn't come with Drill Bit because they're planning to release him as a stand-alone Weaponizer like all the recent Titan partner characters, or if he does come with him and it just isn't shown on this slide that very obviously isn't intended to be used in/as an actual reveal. It's not like the PotP leak revealed every single detail of the leaked figures, after all.

Wow, this is an easy, easy pass for me…
Hastak really thinks this is going to have major appeal?
No joke, I wouldn’t buy this if it were on sale for $50.
I am all for branching-out to cover/revisit various series, but this seems like a mis-step.
Which, sure, personally I can say, “Money, saved, & looks like the new Stunticons/Menasor are an even more likely purchase for me”.
But that doesn’t mean I’m in favor of things that could be bad for Hastak.
I don’t see that thing anywhere close to being worth $200.

Its not great, but at least its different. This'll be an easy pass for most, but they're trying which is nice.
I'm still hoping for a Titan Class Optimal Optimus and a Commander Class Transmetal Rampage.

When The Ark is in ship mode, there's those two small panels on the underside at the front. Those panels WILL pop off no matter what I do when transforming. Those things are annoying to deal with and WILL get lost sooner or later.
I find such "feature" unforgivable. Especially on a 200$ figure.

For those that are excited, I am happy for them. For me, its an easy pass. I'm kind of sad as this will be the first Titan I don't own. But the good side is that is money reallocated to get the MP Raiden. (or at least one component of him)

Was someone actually asking for this? I can't remember ever seeing a post asking for a Cybertron Metroplex. I have, however, seen many, many posts asking for an Animated Omega Supreme. I'm just wondering what kind of research Hasbro has done to justify this Titan instead of something else.

The answer is simple, really.
Legacy will revive the Unicron Trilogy. Even if there's not much UC characters, the introduction is strong with that Metroplex. I do hope the titan for 2023 will be Cybertron Menasor to pit against him.

What an absolutely idiotic waste of plastic. The first iteration of this toy was on clearance when it first came out, possibly due to its basic transformation and lack of significantly different modes. I even sold my original shortly after I got it as it was such a poor toy.
I sincerely doubt this will sell in any significant numbers. Seriously, as a fan of Galaxy Force, this is just as badly realised as the equally poor Galaxy Force Prime that was just released in Siege. In both cases, you might as well get the originals, which I think still sell for reasonable prices in collectors' shops or online.

Explain "reasonable".
Because the only way for the price to be "reasonable" is for an incomplete toy. And that damn minicon seem to be made out of cotton candy underwater.
I've got mine. It was stated as "mostly complete". And unlike my Cybertron Menasor (no key) that was found at a flea market for 15$CAN, there's no secret compartment where the minicon is hidden.
So the only option is to buy the thing mint in box for actual titan price.

I disagree. However, as a disclaimer, I'll acknowledge that I'm going on observations from around a year or two ago. That said, I saw Galaxy Force Metroplex going for around 10,000 yen or less at Madarake and other similar shops in Akihabara, and I've seen the odd one in Book Off (or equiv) for a bit less. I've seen two-packs for Big Convoy and Magmatron, Galaxy Force Optimus Prime, Korean Beast Wars 2 figures, etc also keep fairly stable prices (just above retail or staying around 10,000 yen).
Here's some info that might be useful too?

A year is a LOOOONG time for prices to change.
Also, Mandarake still only ship by "no deal" DHL only for Canada. Meaning that contrary to Amazon.jp, shipping that Metroplex would cost close to 10K yen. Plus, since they don't charge any tax deposit, customs hit every single time. So that's 20$CAN plus the federal tax of the total order, plus the provincial tax (and that tax taxes the federal tax on top! Yay Québec!)
So until Mandarake finally allow EMS and small packets to Canada, any deals over there are nil and void.

Incorrect.
Although I agree with your point about price fluctuations over a year, your point about Mandarake is completely wrong. I live in Japan and they're relevant to me and anyone who has easy access to the Japanese market and seems ethnicentric to me (EDITED).
This is also why I included an American price info link, as it seems that the original version still sells fairly cheaply in (many?) markets.

The original Cybertron Metroplex was what..$50 USD when it came out? I never collected Cybertron. I was tempted to get Primus, but never got it. I'm not sure if this one is 100%,but it seems mostly complete.

That's a reasonable price, for sure. But...

I appreciate your frustration 100%. I guess the best takeaway is that while Cybertron Metroplex may be difficult to obtain for some, that's not the case for everyone. For some fans this new Titan will be a welcome addition. For some, seeking out the original toy ( if they don't want something so big) may be the less expensive option.
Also just for the record, (I know you were joking but...) I only live about a 7 hour car drive from Disneyland in Anaheim, ( 1 hour to fly) and it is darn expensive to go there. . I haven't been since 2013, and I seriously doubt I'll ever go back.

This Cybertron Metroplex looks alright in robot mode, though it appears the excavator mode will thankfully look more like a truck than the submissive looking original.

I highlighted the fact that in two markets (the US and Japan) there is the possibility of cheaper, more affordable original versions. Your own, finite and limited experiences are irrelevant to my points, as my points were to highlight the (possible) general states of things. Please understand the differences.
My points, quite obviously, still stand. If you're unable to grasp such simple points, then I'm afraid I cannot help you.

That's a reasonable price, for sure. But...
"Does not ship to Canada."
Sigh... I just need the Drill-Bit minicon to complete mine. And if found, I bet the damn thing will cost 50$+ shipped.

It's only one tiny image, but I'm pretty excited. It's like a properly scaled version for the original Cybertron line! Hope Drill Bit's included. Will expect not, but can still hope so.
This gives me some hope for supporting media as well, colonies and not-Cybertron-itself planets full of Transformers are a super fun concept that doesn't get visited enough.
Anyway, big 'ol Gigantion Metroplex, hell yeah

Right back at ya with your "ethnocentricity".
YOUR personal experience is totally irrelevant for EVERYONE outside Japan.
So your point "stand" only for you.
As for Americans, appart that single listing, finding a complete original with his Minicon for a reasonable price is pretty rare.

Based on my experience with the Ark, I do hope Drill Bit would be a separate deluxe release. The added budget would improve the mass and possibly add some mechanical gimmicks to the titan.
The original had the "staff" with sounds and key activated action. If the Titan don't have that feature, it would be quite a waste.
Also, I do hope that in "take me daddy" mode, the claw/saw thing will be able to reach the ground it's supposed to dig.

Incorrect. My two points highlighted both Japan and the USA. I didn't disregard the USA, nor use my own, unique and personal situation to belittle a whole country's market, which you did. Thus, it was you that was guilty of ethnocentric behaviour. Please refrain from it and set a better example to the community here please.

Juist for clarity, the minicon included in that listing is not actually Drill-bit. Its the Street Action Team Grindor which turns into a skateboard.

Transformers Armada Grindor (Bank) Gallery
Drill-bit

I did not know a complete Cyb Metroplex was so hard to come by. Seems i could put mine up for sale and cover the cost of the new one easily. Not that I’m going to though.

The original toy was lame with crappy alt modes, now they're making a Titan Class version? Not to mention it's of a character we have already had... They could've done a NEW Primus, Transmetal Dragon Megatron, or another Titan Class combiner... Saved me $200.

"Minicon included".
Oh, that's just EVIL.
If your Cybertron Metroplex is 100% complete with Drill-Bit, don't sell it if you love it. If you do, it will be gone FOREVER.
Beside, I bet the titan will look great together with the original.

Titan would be way over the top. But if I remember the show, he was much bigger than his OG T-Rex self. So I think Commander class would be a perfect fit for him.

OG Cybertron Metroplex was bigger and more massive than leader Optimus and Megatron. I don't know if he was still classified as a leader at the time though. One thing is sure is that in the show, he was a titan.
I would have preferred Titan Armada Tidalwave, but C. Metro definitely fit the theme better. Plus it open the door to a possible Cybertron Menasor the year after.
Plus, I must reiterate. Titan Dragon Megatron would make no sense whatsoever. But it would definitely be a solid Commander.

As someone who grew up amongst the ut series but disagreed with some of the design decisions made, I am ecstatic to be able to add much better updates of some of my favorite tf designs to my collection, not sure that I can splurge on a titan class metroplex, but the original was hardly a masterpiece in its time and could use an update, and to be honest, this is probably in scale with the other ut figures now
But I guess this means that the rumor's of the titan class' demise were just lies then

People blew that wildly out of proportion. A leaker said that Hasbro was considering replacing Titan Class with a second Commander and bumping it to $100 (which I would have been fine with since I generally don't buy Titans). People took that and ran with it, and treated it like it was 100% going to happen.Hellscream9999 wrote:But I guess this means that the rumor's of the titan class' demise were just lies then

If I remember correctly, the minicons didn't scale with the base figures, they were all the same size, the giant planet characters were just extra large comparatively, so any minicon he comes with should be the same size as any other minicon they put out in this next line

I hope they do Mini-Cons where appropriate, but only if they're way more fun than the WFC Micromasters. At appropriate size and with today's realities (like em or not) price-point wise, they're probably going to be a hard sell to do correctly. Heck, just reissuing the old ones might be the way to go.Hellscream9999 wrote:LinaNui wrote:My goodness this has seemed to really divide people.
