    This was my first kit bash ever created. I was heavily inspired by the video game's perception of Metroplex and believed this was the first time anyone had ever truly captured Metroplex in his true form.

    Also I was heavily influenced by a fellow enthusiast and celebrated custom toy maker : Pimp My Toy.

    And a word to Pimp My Toy: thank you for your help and contributions.

    So here are some photos of before he was painted and after, just keep in mind I am not the best painter around and this was my first custom. Any remarks and/or questions are appreciated.

    Thanks

    Not bad! I don't suppose there's an alt mode, is there?

    No, I wish. It was definitely a complex creation and with all the styrene modifications on top of the multiple transformer pieces used to create it I didn't perceive a way to create the FOC alt mode. I am considering redoing the project to find a reasonable means to create the city mode for Metroplex.

    Thanks for looking though.

    Upgrade Kit Material For Sure!

    It would be amazing if somebody made a 3D Printed upgrade kit that could convert Generations Metroplex into FOC Metroplex- you should look into that man- your work is good. ^_^
