    Man, no Micromaster buddy? That sucks.

    Well you'd better at least put out a Battle Gaia KO to go with this. :D

    I'm looking at your title bellow your name, and I can't stop laughing.

    We'd all like an original G1 figure from the '80s. But good quality ones are tough to find, and expensive. So decent quality, cheap KOs are a good substitute. At least to people who are not elitist and only want to fullfil their childhood dream of owning certain if not all transformers.

    Just like the Red Mirage KO in a reproduction of G1 Mirage's box, I think that the fact this won't come with the micromaster helps in making it easy to tell apart from the real thing. As such, I'm interested in it. :) 

    But judging by Spencer's Metroplex review, I'd wish for a bit of better quality for Metrotitan.

    QFT.

    Amen!

    P.S.: they should remove the trademark as well.

    Now this is something I could pay $100 for...man, if only the micromaster was included. :( 

    That'd what I'd like to know. I guess it does say something about it's scarcity when I can't even find one on ebay!

    Mm..Tough cookie. I sold off my M.I.B piece about 8-9 years back & a KO is made available soon. Considering getting 1 but yet worried that it will get reissued in Encore. Nothing's impossible you know, afterall, TakaTom DID made Skylynx available now while we all thought that wouldn't happen.

    What??? Metrotitan is rare and expensive? Damn. Haha, I opened my MISB one up and applied the stickers a few years ago. I had to play with him. It hurt but definetely play had to happen.

    Not a good reason. Nobody forced you to spend $400. The more people who can get figures (or stand-ins) the better.
    That said, I'm spending my money on Omega Supreme.

    Yup, me too. I thought I might talk myself out of him, but that color scheme is just awesome, IMO.

    Damn nice lookin bot you have, Deception

    I love those "windows" visible in the city mode, makes him actually look big.

    Unfortunately, the impression is ruined by the giant car in the garage. :D 

    Yeah, definitely getting this one. My deceps are in dire need of a base of their own, and I can't afford Scorponok...
