As has been rumoured for months now, this year's Titan is Cybertron Metroplex and he has been fully revealed now.
He's not something I'm interested in, but I'm sure some of us are.

Looks good and I'm glad to see some Cybertron/Galaxy Force love heading our way, but a bit too obscure for my tastes. It's nice to see the improved work mode as well as it being a very pose-able big bot. However, I think the market for this guy will be pretty small.
But you know, good on Hasbro for trying some other characters!, I fully support this.
I love the concept, and the improved worker mode looks great. In fact there are a lot of things to like about it - improved excavator mode, a worker mode that looks distinct from the robot mode and not just a half-transformation, way the axe splits, increased articulation, a size that matches the scale of the character from the cartoon.
But it's too similar to my existing Cybertron Metroplex to want to double dip, similar to why I didn't pick up Siege Galaxy Optimus Prime.
I think I will have to see what others have to say of it when they have it in hand, but I'm glad they are doing this sort of thing - I see the occasional younger fan video channel and they are very excited by it.
Well, I'm glad I won't need to make space for a new titan this year. I hope the fans of Cybertron are happy. :)
As a Cybertron Fan, I would love to add him to my collection, but the price atm seems a bit too unreasonable. Apparently he's gonna cost more that Victory Saber?
Update: EB/Zing does have him for pre-order, being $20 cheaper than Victory Saber, but still pretty expensive.
Damn... that is expensive, Black Zarak was cheaper. I will wait until it is on clearance... then maybe I will buy it... maybeQuote:

The main retail price for Titans here in the last few years has been $300, so it wouldn't surprise me if this was $350 at most places here that will be wanting it.
Gosh that vehicle mode is rough.
Yup, Pass.
No interest at all. Happy for the AEC fans.
I mean honestly, Legacy as a concept is a thing, however I'd rather they go hard at finishing G1 and then start doing whatever figure from whatever line.
Another $99 flash sale on Amazon should do the trick
