Any Legends version, preferably the RtS mold.

I'd prefer the WST version for purposes of scale, but, unfortunately, he's the wrong style (G1) and doesn't pose worth a darn.

Why not the adorable Kreon Optimus Prime?

Hopefully we get to see more images soon. I really can't wait for his release.
His release date is somewhere after July, right?

I'm glad they used something current.
I can't afford to pay $30+ apiece for a deluxe.

Also, they're the same size as Lego minifigures. Surely you know how big those are?

I haven't touched or held one of those in years.
I am bad, and I should feel bad.

They're about this big nowadays (it's the reason why Transformers are so small):

And children it would seem...
I think the new Generations Cyberversey style OP with Roller is designed to work with him, even though a small G1 OP can be clearly seen through his windshield. Oh well

Unless you've seen the toy at Toy Fair, there hasn't been any clear images of the Optimus in his torso (at least to my knowledge) on the web. From the very little I saw, it didn't look straight-up Generation One to me. I saw either the upcoming Legends-scaled toy or the Classics Voyager from 2006/07.

2) The Deluxe Optimus is based on his IDW comic design.
3) Some teaser. Now we still don't know whether Metro's forehead is higher up than Max's, which is how I measure it.

The one with Roller? He's Legends Class, like the Data Discs. The Deluxe one is Orion Pax.

Yeah I did this once.. Need to find the pix but I transformed Max and had all of my SCF PVC figs (Japanese versions of HOC) around him and it looked cool and proper scale.

He's only two inches taller than Fort Max.Nemesis Maximo wrote:Oh, boy! It's gonna be BIG!!!

A Metroplex toy correctly scaled to the Deluxe class toys would have to be at least twenty feet tall.Overloaded wrote:So metroplex is not to scale with the deluxe generations figures?

Hell yes I agree-gree! FM could totally spear Metroplex then just roll him over and sit right on his back...done!
The powers that be would be fools not to create a Titan Class Trypticon...hello HasTak...nemesis...?

Well, I never had the original Fort Max, nor do I care much for the character beyond IDW's comics.
And in any event, 2" will probably be more significant then we might assume. Only time will tell.
Also, I measured my tallest TF shelf, and 'Plex wouldn't fit on it. It's just over 6" too short!

The Encore one coming in a few will be my first time owning one of the Holy Grailiest of all TF figures.

I'm with ya, Wewyllenium. My consolation is that he won't be in alt mode on my shelf. He's just too damn BIG!!! He might even have to find a spot on my floor.

Also I sure hope the plastic they'll use would not be like the plastic used on GIJoe reissued toys such as that on Wolf Hound. Please don't be cheap Hasbro/Takara Tommy.

Wasnt the WHOLE FAWKING BOT revealed at Toyfare a few montrhs back? The pictures are all over Google, even the base mode.
Anyway, I'm still looking forward to buy him for my Cyberverse display. I do hope this will be for a real a nd true WIDE release. Not some TrU exclusive bullshit.

I think they're just to tease the actual height of the figure vs Fort Max.

Not so, they're apples and oranges. They're both big and that's about it. They're designed for different audiences.
Posted by Sabrblade on April 20th, 2013 @ 8:16pm CDT
Metroplex
- Large guy
- Citybot
- Battle Station mode
- Slammer, Scamper, and Six-Gun
Fortress Maximus:
- Large guy
- Citybot
- Battle Station mode/Battleship Maximus (Japan only)
- Double Headmaster
- Master Sword (Japan only)
- Autobot Headmasters Commander
- Autobot Supreme Commander (Japan only)
- Pacifistic idealist
- Binary-bonded to well known human ally Spike Witwicky (certain versions)
- Gasket and Grommet --> Cog
Now, granted, I'm still very far behind in reading the IDW G1 comics, so Metroplex may come to wow me in that continuity. But as of now, the most this new Titan class Metroplex toy has over Fort Max IMO is both his height (two inches taller than Max) and his modern-day articulation.

Metroplex is fantastic, don't get me wrong, but Fort Maximus nails it when it comes to badassery, articulate or not.

Agreed. Can't get here any sooner.
Watch it have tons of flaws like Blitzwing, thus crushing our hopes and dreams.
