Was never a fan of the Generations Metroplex face sculpt, so I took a Alt-modes Magnus figure and custom built a more toon-accurate Metroplex head. Check it out!
Your custom looks absolutely fantastic. The horrible face sculpt is the single reason why I refused to get Generations Metroplex.
Thank you! Yes, that old face sculpt bugged me from day 1. To make this piece, I actually had to take a dremel to the old face and cut it into pieces. While cutting the entire time I was thinking "die, you ugly piece of garbage!!" Hahaha!
So ive had metroplex along time now, i was woundering has anyone had any issues with his legs opening and closeing, ive always felt like when i transform him i need to be extra carefull with those parts because they feel like they will be break if moved wrong
I unfortunately missed out on Metroplex when he was available (Money issues). What I wouldn't give to have him in my collection right now (Along with Fort Max and Trypticon)
This is some genius level stuff. I never would've thought to do that. I bow to your awesomeness. Haha. Right?! Sign me up!
Thank you my friends. I really appreciate the encouragements. I'm really more interested in sharing ideas than selling them. (Teach a man to fish, you know?) I post Transformers related ideas, mods and crafts on my page (in my sig). Feel free to check it out sometime.
Hey, if you don't like something about a figure fix it and make it better. For me I do like the face he came with, but that's just me.
I've finally got mine some week ago, the Takara version, but I'm having a couple of issues that are preventing me from fully enjoy the figure: -the visor gimmick, and the rotating helmet for the transformation in general. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but every time I transform it the helmet has the habit to come off of its guides, and I have quite an hard time putting it back in place -the left arm, since it doesn't connect with any tab to the torso, has a gap of about 2 mm between the shoulder and the chest. I am the only one with this issue, or is it a common issue? There is a way to fix it?
Is there a detailed write-up of the differences between the Hasbro Metroplex and the new Takara reissue?
I’d assume so since most of the siege weaponizers all look to be 5mm port comparable. I don’t know if the red legs of six gun will really translate well into guns for metroplex to hold...since six gun here is a deluxe, and metroplex is...well, as big as he is. Either way I’m in. Great addition to metroplex.
