How do you classify Generations Metroplex?

[DELTAprime]

This issue really pisses me off.

Officially he's not a WFC/FOC toy, but people think he is WFC/FOC. He's the epitome of how Hasbro has confused people as to which universe everything belongs to.

How many idiot toy reviewers said in their Orion Pax review that IDW Orion Pax was WFC Optimus and WFC Optimus is G1 Optimus?

When both Cybertron games came out how many idiot video game journalist said WFC/FOC is official cannon for G1?

NO, NO, NO. IDW and Classics is G1, WFC and FOC is Prime.

And repurposing FOC as IDW G1 doesn't help Hasbro!

I'm sick of having to correct idiots like Optibotimus and Jeff Gerstman as to which continuity everything belongs to.

Calm.

Deep breaths... Go to your happy place. Remember to breathe.

All will be well. All will be well and all manner of things will be well.

Yeah - WFC/FOC is meant to be from the Prime Universe, I'll totally grant you that, but lets face it, it really isn't. It's totally G1. Look at Breakdown in WFC versus Breakdown in Prime, two totally different takes on the character. The same can be said for Ratchet, Arcee and most especially Soundwave.

Soundwave in the games is WAY MORE G1 based than PRIME based - game, set and cyber-match!

I've been re-cataloging all my TF's since I reached the 1300 mark late last month and I feel fully justified in putting 'Classics', 'Universe', 'Generations', 'RTS' and 'HFTD' all in the Classicsverse universe. And that be where I'm sticking big ol' Metroplex as well as classifying him as FOC, and feel totally justified in doing so on both fronts

You sound like my Psychiatrist, but it does make me calmer. I don't know why continuity gets me so upset.

[Krayt]

The shipping case states "tra generations Titan" so that's good enough for me

[Cat]

I used to count him as WFC/FOC, until I actually compared him to the game model. Yikes, nothing alike.

It's also clear from the concept art that they weren't really working from the FOC design.

[MayzaPrime]

Sadly I have to put him with my FOC figures as I have no room to put him with my CHUG collection, even though I classify him has Generations.

[kup]

I see him primarily as Classicsverse but accept him as fitting in with WFC/FOC. It is easy for me to do that as I sort of include WFC/FOC toys as 'classics' as to me they are re-interpretations of Pre-Earth G1 characters. I completely ignore Hasbro's forced 'It's Prime universe' BS.

[UltraMarginal]

When I eventually find one on the shelf here, I'll call it classicsverse/FOC.

Like Kup I see the WFC/FOC as an alternate pre-cursor to G1, at the same time I see how it connects to Prime and I can almost see Prime as an alternate universe G1, given the way it's supposed to link back to WFC/FOC.
the stylings on Metroplex itself are enough of a match to classics or the game toys to fit with either.

I just have to get it and find a place for it.

Thanks to the Gentleman and scholar Known locally as Paulbot, I had my first experience with metroplex and personally i think it's great as a stand alone piece it doesn't need a designation lol.
Also got my first (believe it of not) experience with a g1 fort max!
