Simply incredible.

...So when can we expect Trypticon?

Too soon to tell if this was a good idea, but so far, the response is good, so Trypticon might be coming up

Nice set!

Have you tried putting the yellow window lights on a different background color besides black? From the pics it looks like his arms have too much black, I think a lighter color would work much better.

It's awesome and all (X11), but ludicrously expensive for stickers. Consider keeping them in the $10 range, and I would buy in a heartbeat.

Pardon the slight necro of this topic, but I bought all the Metroplex / Scamper & Slammer / Sixgun upgrade labels last week: received them early this week, and had time yesterday to apply them all to my second hand, very slightly off color and badly-stickered (but complete) Metroplex! And... I was just left speechless in how good they all look, and especially how good they make Metroplex look! Even my wife, who doesn't really like TF's really liked the way he looks now.
As usual, design of the stickers is awesome: very much G1 styled, and their coloring and fit is just perfect. My favorite single sticker is probably the red / white tower on Slammer: it just adds a great sense of scale to Metroplex which it really does miss with the original stickers. It's funny, I did start with Scamper and Slammer, I didn't pay much attention to the labels on the upgrade set and while labelling, I did get slightly worried that after already having removed Slammer's tracks stickers, I'd be unable to replace them. So I was very glad to see them on the X11 sheet!

I'm just loving Metroplex's new look: I have the Takara reissue and it's stickered up with the regular stickers, and while he used to be the shiniest Metroplex I had, now he looks plain in comparison. I'd HIGHLY recommend the upgrades, all three, and as for people complaining about the price: considering the amount of effort designing all of these stickers (three large sheets!) and the relatively small, niche market these are marketed at, the price is spot on!

Removing all of Metroplex's original stickers was a real b***h though. As advised, I did soak Metroplex for a night in water (as stated, no ill effects on Metroplex at all!), but that original sticker glue sure doesn't like to disolve in water much!

alldarker, this sort of thing is totally welcomed here

Do you have any photos of your Metroplex set after the upgrade?

Not yet (I finished him up late last night, around 11 pm), but I'll be glad to make some this weekend and post them here!
