i just picked up the universe countdown today. is the fan-mode base difficult?

 

Metrotitan's ramp allows him to connect to any Micromaster base. I just chose to use the Cannon Transport as the display piece because its a pretty obscure G1 toy. Micromasters are my thing, tho.

That makes much more sense.  

 

i just got a near-complete ruination set in arctic camo, and mega-octane looks so good with metroplex i'm tempted to strip the decepticon symbols from the set and replace them with autobot symbols.

so cool that they made no change to the mold for onslaught's head. connects perfectly with trypticon and metroplex.

 

Nope the whole lot of them came out in the UK as well. I'm guessing you mean there's no Takara version of that Cannon Transport.. which to be honest I don't have a clue about. All I can remember is some of the squad and team members are sometimes a slightly different colour in Japanese form.

I'm sort of surprised someone hasn't made a batch of home made cast ramps for Metrotitan since that's the only bit other than the Micromaster the KO is missing.

Oh and I can't recommend the KO Metrotitan enough it's super great... but there is a chance more might be made before 12 months and if they do make more they might be different next time (more accurate colours).

Personally I'd love to see one with rubber tires. I think a black one was also discussed too... I think that ould look rather nice 'Nemesis Titan' - Darksyde Metrotitan or what ever you might wish to call him.

Metrotitan and Metroplex not only work well with Micromasters they also go really well with Legion/Legends toys.

 

Man, this is a great thread. I remember trying to combine my brothers Arielbots with our Metroplex as a kid, and the first figure I tried was Fireflight, and his head snapped right off. he was pissed! 25 years later I'm tempted to send him that photo to prove that I was right all along damnit!
