MakeToys City Bot Series MCB-002 Utopia "Metroplex"

[Lord_Zed]

The carrier mode looks sweet.

There's a 'real' Metroplex (Generations) out now. Why would anyone want a fake one?

Well because this one might well be better quality, easier to store and display with other figures and have better proportions.

I purchased the Hasbro Metroplex on sale and I'm really quite ambivalent about it. It's tall and imposing but that's about is. It's to big for the cheap plastic and not much fun to play with, and storage is an issue, mine is standing in the lounge room I have no idea where to keep him.

Not to say I'm going to buy another Metroplex or that I'm won over by Maketoys version, but considering the quality of previous releases they certainly have my attention.

I found some Hi-Res images of this titan I thought you guys might like to look over :

You know the thing that makes me not a fan of Metroplex? Show him to any nonTF fan in alt mode and their likely reply will be "And what is that supposed to be?"

He doesn't look like anything. We know what he's supposed to be but no one else does.

This one is not really any different.

Holy balls!

The details on this guy looks finer than Hasbro's.

But, I cannot afford both, and since I already have Hasbro's....

I'm much in the same boat dude, I've got Takara's Gens figure and just can't justify this bloke's purchase ; Which is a shame because this thing is an absolutely amazing "love letter" to the original toy and I think it does a better job at being a city/base & mobile battle-platform than said Generations figure.

@Trent: You're not wrong dude, but with a little imagination one should be able to see: "Oh! - It's some kind of base or something?", well I think so anyway.

I like it. Its proportions are much better than the official one which i always thought was too thin. How much is it?

Me too, time for Mass Metroplex sales maybe.

Golden opportunity missed to give him an actual 'city' alt-mode. Hasbro's already done the 'direct G1 update' thing. They should have been more inventive.


And they could at least have made the middle ramp reach the ground FFS...
