Titan Class METROPLEX

No mention of FoC printed on the box from the official images that i've seen so far GP.

I just hate the stickers coming off, I'd be happier if they came with a backup sheet.

If you want a less permanent solution without the possibility/risk of the super glue damaging the plastic I use a Bostik Glue stick.

I have used it on all my troubled AM prime toys and the stickers have not peeled back since.

Tip: for larger stickers you can just apply the glue directly but for smaller fiddly ones I use a hobby knife/stanley knife and scrape a bit of the glue from the stick and rub it on the back of the sticker (like buttering toast ), but you only need a small amount for these types otherwise it oozes out the sides (easily wiped away) when you push it (the sticker) down.

For applying stickers, as mentioned above, tweezers or a stanley knife (put the end of the blade under a small part of the sticker) works a treat for maneuvering stickers into place. And a cotton bud (also mentioned) works great from smoothing stickers out or pushing them down flat in areas to small for my fat fingers

I think I'll be keeping my Metroplex (once i get it) displayed with my mix of classics and generations TF's

Seibertron.com user mrtbone81 has posted a YouTube review of Titan class Generations Metroplex (click here to Seibertron.com page with review) and OMG that thing is friggin' huge!!

Check it out next to Voyager FOC Grimlock! Completely dwarfs him!

I don't even care about his weak alt modes or the stickers, this thing is bought on site for the mere fact of his sheer size. He has some very nice articulation and will look great amongst both G1 and WfC/FoC figures.

Definitely worth adding to the collection IMO.

Up at Amazon for preorder.

With 2 week shipping to Australia, he's $165AU.

Worth it, IMO.

With regards to Takara's iteration, annoyingly there hasn't been any concrete info on whether theirs is 100% tampoed/stickered or a combination of the 2 yet.

What is interesting though is that apparently, as heard by a Takara Rep at the Tokyo Toy Show, is that the SDCC Metroplex will be exactly the same as the Takara variant - Meaning the Deco and additional big red rifle will an SDCC inclusion... apparently

I read somewhere a while ago that the AU price will be about $150. I'd be happy to pay the extra $15 to secure one from Amazon, but I might just keep my ear to the ground to see how much he will be locally first. If Amazon maintain that price for the duration he is in stock and it's less than locally then I'll definitely put in an order.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

I just read TFW2005's article on the Transformers-based Exclusives for SDCC this year; I had absolutely no interest in any of it whatsoever until seeing what is included with SDCC Metroplex!

How the hell is one supposed to get a hold of that single thing without having to obtain the whole bloody lot!?!
