    Tony, seriously, how do you do it? How do you make molded details on a virtually all-white figure pop out like that? Do you have a photography tutorial?

    Nice paint job! As I am a noob when it comes to painting figures, may I ask if this was done using sharpies or paint brushes or airbrushes? Thanks for the advice :)

    He looks identical to his G1 counterpart in every mode as far as initial design....the details of the new Metroplex is of course much greater....

    But his city mode looks comparable to the G1 city mode in every way....but at least this one is articulated.... to me this is G1 Metroplex....on steriods.

    What are the chances FP or some 3rd party are going to release some accessories / add-ons to make this guy even better? 100% 500%?

    Well done with the images Tony. This may be one of my favorite shoots yet.

    And you have managed to take a toy I had talked myself out of and turned it into something that I think I must have. So thanks for that.

    Well, I expected him to be huge and impressive. I never expected he would be so well articulated in robot mode though; this looks like an absolute work of art for a toy.

    Nice pictures! From the pics, I can see Metroplex is 'off-white' in colour and I really dig the poses with Brave Max! :)

    Just fair warning, the lighting and processing on these pics make him look less "pure white" than he really is. Was done on purpose to highlight the details of the mold. If you have him under non-bright semi-professional lighting, he may look similar to that, but, overall, he is more white than what you see there. Just look at the whitest brightest part in each pic, that's what his overall plastic color is.

    I would prefer if he looked more like that from every angle in all lighting too, but it would require a lot of hand painting and dry brushing etc to achieve that, not really feasible for a mass release toy.

    Don't worry, he is still impressive and kick ass just like he looks there.

    I can't wait for the first person to post a picture of Metroplex in city mode with all the guns trained and using that protruding hand to flip the Decepticons the bird. That's supposing, of course, that his hand can rotate at least 180 degrees.

    Wait, is this the regular Hasbro release?

    It looks fully painted. The white looks really crisp and good quality.

    Any thoughts on how to turn this into a Scramble City?
