    Default Legacy Cybertron Metroplex revealed.

    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.

    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    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.
    Looking to buy lucky draw Armada Prime and Diaclone Marlboor Wheeljack.

    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.
    I'll update this when I'm needing help finding particular figures

    Damn... that is expensive, Black Zarak was cheaper. I will wait until it is on clearance... then maybe I will buy it... maybe

    Holding out on the pre-order but I think I'll nab him. Yeah, the alt mode could have been re-imagined or designed better, but both robot modes look cool.

    Personally I just wish he came with more?? Blast effects or something to warrant it?

    I haven't been able to find an answer - is this a re-issue of the original figure, or a new figure based on that older figure?

    New, based on older figure but seemingly missing mini-con and cyber key. Much bigger, 22 inches.

    For context, I saw an image that advertised that the original could extend to 12 inches
