Titan Class METROPLEX

[kup]

The very long legs make Metroplex look very lanky so it's made my excitement level back off a bit.

[Paulbot]

I knew it was big but this is the first time I've seen in scale with a person! Looks impressive.

I hope it has some posability it looks pretty average in that photo with its chicken legs together like that.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Yeah, I'd like to see some posability too. That would be the icing on the cake. I am very intriguied, I think I will get one, just to see how it is. It's almost a piece of Transformers History really.

Now for the big question. TakTom - Yay or Nay?

I'm thinking that it may have been a deliberate move by the designers to lay claim to the 'biggest' Transformer ever. If true, I consider that to be cheating.

Looks like Fort Max will still be "biggest", as Metroplex will only have the title of "tallest".
I look forward to weighing it when it is released and comparing it to Fort Max's weight.


On a side note - for anyone not browsing the global fansites, an Asian site has uploaded a video clip from Toyfair. It is just filming the actual Transformers toys, but in the process, it is recorded a voice in the back ground that mentions "Metrotitan"... either a fan commenting on a possible redeco option, or a Hasbro Rep suggesting it as being another figure in the "Titan Class".
Since it is barely audible, and not on camera, I'd be keeping this buried deep in the rumour column until someone official says something.

That wont fit in ANY of my cabinets!

I had a similar thought when I saw the pic

Metroplex does look mighty impressive next to that dude. I couldn't find any images of a person holding Fortress Maximus loose for comparison, but here's a picture of a guy holding a boxed Fort Max, and as those of us with a Maximus know, the box is about the same size as the toy. Of course, images of stuff next to people isn't very reliable since we don't really know how big those people are. It'd be better if it were placed next to something like a can of Coke or a ruler etc. But even if Metroplex turns out to be 6cm taller than Fort Max, as griffin said Fort Max will probably still reign as the actual biggest Transformer and not just the tallest.

Gotta agree with Grif on this one, I think. The bot mode is indeed very spiffy, but the altmodes and quarter-century-old transformation make me think it'll end up as kitbash fodder more than anything else.
