    Most likely a Gun Tower/Turrent in City mode. Could also become a part of something else.

    Well, if it's a Tank/tower/rifle triple changer, that works. I'd been secretly hoping for a robot mode.

    Due to those treads, I'm thinking that it would link up with another accessory.

    This looks like something I might be interested in after not knowing about it and getting a link to see it. Now I think I want it for my Metroplex.

    lemme guess... It's supposed to be Slammer. :lol 

    Now, if the gun broke apart into separate components (such as a small Scamper-sized Drone tank), I could totally see a Slammer coming from it.
    But, they didn't think to include that aspect. And having it transform into a tower mode didn't seem to cross their minds either, apparently.

    not trying to be negative, these are just observations sole based on what's been provided so far.

    it turns into a weird skeletal looking tank....thing and the regular gun,

    seems like the rest of what it does is fan-mode type stuff.

    It's a bit underwhelming, but if it's cheap I'll get one.

    It's cool that they took a design that wasn't meant to do anything and made it do something.

    I hope someone makes guns more like those on the original Metroplex. The new ones are OK, but I really liked the classic originals.

    Do do you buy one of these, or get two and toss the non-transforming one out?

    Why toss the non-transforming one when you can mount it over his shoulder?

    I don't understand...

    they ripped off hasbros mold, added a few pins, and it magically turns into...origami?

    its alt mode is a gun, another gun, and some sort of gun looking device. They are going to sell a hasbro metroplex gun that has the ability to fold?

    Jelly at what? Cause I need a third gun? ;) 

    HK-CON version for me, and while I was looking for 3rd party to make Slammer, this REALLY isn't it.

    I am consistently trying to figure out what the point of this is, and why anyone would show any interest in it? Guess I'm one of the few who are a let down by this. =_=

    Couldn't they have made some effort and made a unique gun that turns into a tank? All I see is a minimal effort for something people are going to be thrown $30 for the extra gun cause they bought the Hasbro Metroplex.

    I think I saw another 3rd party make some original additions for Metroplex. Really hope they make a new gun/slammer.
