So I do not collect legend or cyberverse figures. Sure I have several minicons, but I dont care to collect anymore.
However, with Metroplex and encore Fortress Maximus being purchased and soon to be added to my Transformers team, I was looking more at the smaller bot sizes. i will most likely stay away, but is anyone pruchasing metroplex, thinkng about the little robots to occuy him?
Since obtaining Encore FortMax, admittedly I've considered acquiring a couple more WST figures to adorn his ample mass but not to any great degree, I haven't even considered to get anything for Metroplex :o - I'm simply buying him because he's a Giant Robot Toy... oh! & he transforms! :D
I'm trying to nab some of the smaller figures that are G1-based. So far, Beachcomber, Cosmos, Trailbreaker, Bumblebee, and Brawn. I've also got movie Powerglide (because he look's G1 enough for me). I've ordered Gold Bumblebee from BBTS with the POL that's gonna ship with Metroplex (and hopefully the Batman 66 single figures!).
Leaves Windcharger (Scout, 2010) and Wheelie (Legends, 2009), but looking at their prices, I think I'll pass. Still leaves me with enough for Metroplex in base mode to look busy.
Yeah i wish i got on the WST train but i think they were out before i started paying much interest anything other than store transformers again.
It is out of scale but he does still look very impressive towering over Energon Omega Supreme, CHUGBlah and Fall of Cybertron figures.
Most importantly, he makes me want to be a better collector and finish off my cabinets for them.
I'm set, I've been actively collecting the legends classic figures for a few years now and I think I have most. a couple WST's probably would look really good with him though.
My issue is finding somewhere to put the bug guy when I eventually fork out the dough for him. As I'v mentioned in other places, as much as i love the Fort Max, I bought it, unpacked it, transformed it into each mode, had it on the coffee table for a few days till I got sick of looking around it to see the TV, put it on the desk in the study for a few more before I got sick of having him take up the whole desk space and then put him back in his box and back up in the cupboard. I just don't have the real estate to display bots that are that size.
He's supposedly meant to be compatible with Cyberverse figures, which I already have a collection of. :) I quite like most Cyberverse figures (I find that they're reasonably well designed and offer decent value for their relatively cheaper price points); but I don't think I'll be increasing or decreasing my collecting of Cyberverse toys as a result.
As for shelving, I've already set space aside for it. I always do this when I'm getting big toys (i.e. I did the same thing when I was getting G1 and Encore Fort Max).

I have collected Cyberverse, Legends and WSTs for a while now,and they can populate him easy. I have Metroplex on PO and Ive already got a plan on where to put him. Although this is still dependent on when I can get some more Detolfs at IKEA :p;). I need 4 more Detolfs actually. So if he ever arrives before I can get one Detolf at least he would have to stand on the floor of the collection room :D next to the CHUGUR shelves. Coz he is taller than Fort Max I can't put him at the topmost shelf like the rest of the big guns. He needs to stand on top of a Detolf shelf. :p All part of the plan.....somehow.
I normally don't buy anything smaller than deluxe but I have some legends in my PoL at BBTS simply cause I want some small figures to go along with Metroplex and Fort Max.
Fort Max can also work with Deluxe Sized figures too. He's that awesome. :D
This Metroplex is the Metroplex I have always wanted. I will be buying the eventual Metrotitan repaint. I really hope that Hasbro continue with the Generations cityformers. I would love Trypticon, Scorponok, and Fortress Maximus.
A nemesis Trypticon would be nice. We already need a Trypticon and a Nemesis would be THE BEST for zooming around and recreating battle scenes like in FOC. :cool: Some of those cables would be nice too. ;)
That would be awesome! I would even be happy if it is a little smaller than MetroplexQuote:

The BIG W specials for Wheeljack with starhammer is great cause you get a really nice legends Wheeljack pretty cheap (well much cheaper than it was before:) ).
I hope to one day have a table in my display room with my Cityformers and Autobot Legends figures with one side having my Decepticon Legend figures attacking. Going to use the Driller from the Big W sale as Megatron's attack vehicle! :D
That's a cool idea.:cool:Quote:

Though I did laugh at the bees-in-the-box idea from earlier.
