Legacy TItan CYBERTRON METROPLEX: EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff

[@threeerasers4873]

This is probably the most poseable Titan class figure. The only thing holding it back is no cyber planet key. It didn’t even need a gimmick, cause it would have been cool to have one with a 5mm port on the end for your own figures

[@tridentsilver766]

@@daltonwilliams1723 it looks like they designed the shovel part with a hole that can hold a figure like how the original had a slot for drill bit

[@medafan53]

Wouldn't surprise if they did that, as was said below, perhaps as a micro-master (possibly in a 4 pack at Deluxe price-point with the main 3 Cybertron Minicon team) after all, a lot of the 'sidekick' characters to titan class figures have been sold seperately.

[@Chazzsg]

@@tridentsilver766 during a hasbro livestream a rep said that the original plan was to include drill bit as a micromaster, hence the little seat in the middle of the escavator arm in alt mode, but had to drop it near the end of development cause of budget. They also said the micromasters in the wfc line were a fail, so who knows if we will get to see a updated drill bit to go with this guy 😥

[@tridentsilver766]

@@Chazzsg we need one. The key isn’t that big of an issue to me but they should have included Drillbit especially since this is the first Titan since Devastator to not have a smaller figure, even it’s just the figures head like with Fortress Maximus and Skorponok. I hope we get a pack later down the line with drillbit and a few other mini cons.

Before this figure I never thought the cybertron metroplex would ever be considered precious.

[@TakoBoi123]

When they first announced this figure, I thought it was just gonna be a straight up re-release of the original cybertron figure but marked up at twice the original price. But after seeing this, WOW. It feels like a completely new figure. Great review!

I’m hoping for an Energon Scorponok. I absolutely loved his design.

[@Big-Image]

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm very impressed of this figure, and I was quite surprised that they kept the work mode. The only thing I'm still miffed about is that they didn't keep the Cyber Key gimmick. It's the one defining trait of the Cybertron line.

I heard that Hasbro is considering doing more cybertron titans such as primus, menasor, and starscream.

Was not expecting this guy to have such an involved transformation. A lot of the titans are pretty simple in that regard but there is actually a lot going on. Also the “scoops” on the front of the alt mode detach like that so they can drop dirt easier without getting stuck in it.

[@ryanhernandez5632]

I'm my opinion this figure is far better than the orginal. My only gripe is minor. And that is that the saw was not able to lock into place and split divide into the great ax. Other than that it's nearly perfect

I love Cybertron Metroplex's design 😃, he so cool 😎. I also love his robot mode 🤖, work mode and Cybertronian bulldozer mode 😊. This gigantic figure so amazing 🤩!

[@ninomitchell2039]

I always loved metroplex since u saw him in cybertron (my first time with the character) and the one thing never liked about the toy is how cumbersome the ax is to store in construction mode. Regardless of form I store it either in hand or where it goes in vehicle mode but neither seemed right, unless you're posing him for the hand one, which this mold seems to have alleviated even without splitting the ax in 2.

[@aarcade6676]

For some reason this version's vehicle mode seems more convincing to me than the original

[@DJDroz-tz4qc]

Yay! Mister Bucket wheel excavator is finally here! And he looks less like he "dropped the soap" and more like he fell in a trash compactor but bucket wheels are weird, they have ten sets of treads and could probably scoop up movie Devastator in that thing! They don't call them "Earth Movers" for nothing. It's cool that we're getting the gold key characters, even if they don't come with them, and I hope we get Evac because he's my favorite non-G1 character? I like how his work and excavator modes have handles, you probably need it, because that's basically what the backpack usually ends up on Transformers toys anyway.

Damn is this an one impressive figure. If only I had any shelf space I would've grabbed one in a heartbeat.

This guy truly shows what can be done if they dont have to make a tiny car. His alt mode is so.goofy that they can give him massive poseability as his vehicle modes are "me but squatting" and "me but cuboid"

[@Alexd3498]

Legacy has been so weird and I love it! It seems like classes don't really matter, the price point matters. Metroplex and Victory Saber are both around 200, and have insane levels of posability nearing masterpiece levels! Yet they're both just considered commander and titan class 🤔

[@sentientsickness]

Hasbro Pulse says it releases November 1st and I can't wait Also I think DNA will have a blast for this guy, probably give us a different axe head and maybe some screw hole covers

[@jasontreyes8078]

The neck that can be extended so he can look up feature is great. I wish they would have applied that to Earthrise Scorponok, that would be cool.

[@robertschulz1234]

I can see this being repainted with Junkion colors and changing his name to Scrapyard. That way they can get their own Titan. He could be one of the many Titan ships that launched from Cybertron to go out into the galaxy and create other Transformer planets.

[@joesoul2472]

the only other base former that he'd look half decent connected to would be Omega Supreme, IMO. with Ironworks attached to Omega, he has a slight factory look on top of the rocket base, so a.... bucket excavator might fit? sort of?

[@Darkz3ed]

The OG Cybertron Metrodude was a challenge for the designers as they tried to make the biggest figure they could for the pricepoint. So, I think, they tried to make the most articulated Titan class out of this guy as a challenge too.

[@weirdkitty07]

I don't have the cybertron vertsion of this, but you could possibly make it look like spaceship mode also. Stretched out robot mode and rotate the midsection parts like a bridge cockpit.

Terrific review as always. I can't wait for mine to arrive (November for Europe). Those screw holes in work mode though... they're even uglier than in the original Cybertron release. I hope a 3rd party company takes care of that. Aside from that, a fantastic toy and one of the best titan class transformers. Infact, I can't get over the fact that Hasbro couldn't equipe the ones with a base mode with at least one compartment that can open up to reveal a command centre or other chambers and stations you can man with mini figures. Especially since Hasbro has been releasing small figures for quite some time now. V1 Meteoplexe's leg and arm stations don't count for me. I'm talking about compartments in the torso that give you the illusion that those big bots have a moltitude of chambers and corridors inside. Something à la Catle Greyskull... That would increase their play value a lot, imho. Fortress Maximum is the worse of them all: all you can do is having figures standing on his legs and arms (which don't even try to look like something diffrent than just legs and arm).

[@imperialseiryu6989]

13:30 A big , big, big, big gorillalala !!! I won't be surprised if someone makes a fan city mode and use some of city weaponizes to make it

[@grahf4215]

My second view just to leave a comment as I watch KZbin on my Roku TV and can't comment normally. It's so good to watch a review of this made by someone who not only loves Transformers but who would actually do some research in case they somehow didn't know the character or backstory of the figure. There really is nothing like a review from someone good. And with Emgo, we get a skit at the end too! But man, does this figure look good. I really hope they do Menasor soon. Quickmix though can be a commander. This review really shows why the step count is so high on this. There's quite a few extra steps for no reason and they're appreciated. Although, I think maybe if they kept the transformation a little more simple like the original then they could've found some room for Drillbit in the budget. The work mode actually looks like something now which is really cool. Now to digress a bit about Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime. My GUOP is a little taller than yours as I have the thigh extensions as well as the DNA legs. So mine can get very leggy just like the original. I made some modifications to mine though so that the trailer still attaches normally in truck mode. I cut out some channels in the pelvis going backwards so that the hips can slide backward into the pelvis to the bumper. Kind of like the hip shift voyager Titans Return Optimus/Octane does but on a larger scale. There's just enough room in the pelvis to allow for the thigh extenders (from multiple designers) to sit in that empty cavity behind the front bumper that the DNA kit would normally have the wheels move into while also allowing the part of the trailer that covers the robot arms to still attach to the spine. So it fills in the gaps without needing the DNA kit and also allows for a full unaltered transformation and attachment for the trailer. However, doing this gets rid of the very loose and almost non-existent hip ratchets. So the legs will flop at the hips (kind of like the original) unless you pour on some Kiki, or joint tightener of your choosing, into the area to tighten everything up. This custom can also be done on Siege Ultra Magnus but not on the Kingdom version of the mold as the new bumper on that version of the mold wouldn't allow for that much movement. Not that the Kingdom version's trailer attaches to the spine anyway though. I asked a designer on Shapeways if they could make a new rear pelvis piece to allow for all of this but they couldn't visualize or imagine what I was telling them even showing them how it works with my customs. Not that it's all that complicated though. It's literally just some gaping channels in the pelvis behind the hips so they can slide back. It would ultimately fix a few of the major problems with the mold though as it fills in the gap behind the bumper and front wheels, makes the figure taller and more proportioned in the robot modes as well as make it so the stock trailer attachments are still used as normal.

[@dannyboi5887]
