    Ok, enough is enough.

    This is the last night of the week i'm going drunk, i waited until i was nearly wasted before checking this thread and still you didn't give me ANY Terrorsaur leak.

    I'm not gonna talk to you guys anymore for the next three days.

    You deserved it.

    I'm on board with the unified aesthetic if the result is cool. I'd love Prime to look Prime, but I can be flexible. What I would like to see is a commitment to including the other continuities a la Legacy Arcee. Prowl as a motorcycle, OP as a fire truck, Bee with an Animated face, etc. If I'm not going to get a figure that accurately captures the character, as least have the courtesy of putting some effort into something that honors it.

    I like the concept of SG, but not enough to do another shelf. The SG figures I've bought or are considering have been ones that look cool that I can repurpose as a regular figure. So if SG Wheeljack comes out, he will be Slicer in my house.
    Along those lines, I think we can safely say that Hasbro has punted the FunPub SG continuity designs. Anything that comes from this point forward will not be beholden to what we feel is the "correct" look.

    new to this thread. so has Titan Cybertron Metroplex been debunked or what? I don't see it mentioned in any lists anymore. if so, kinda glad. I hate that character and honestly that whole Unicron Trilogy. The only character I want to see get a new titan figure is RiD Brave Maximus. and...perhaps UT Primus.

    If anything from animated is to be a titan it's gotta be Omega Supreme Ark obviously.

    Seeing as the other Metroplex already had a Titan, yes. It's the Megalo Convoy design to our knowledge, though it may have different design cues like the "G1ified" prime characters like Knock Out and Bulkhead

    I'd be surprised if Metroplex was "G1ified" like the Prime characters where, considering he's both Titan Class and part of blocky UT, if anything I think the changes will be so that his alt-mode actually looks like something other than him doing yoga.

    If we could get an Omega Prime that's marginally less fiddly, and a Megatron/Galvatron that is about the same height as Fire Convoy, I'd be happy.

    Honestly, my standards may be a little too low for this metroplex lmao. I'm almost guaranteed to get it at this point as long as he has his axe and looks mostly like himself in robot mode, and I've never even considered buying a titan before. Are titans generally good quality? It would be a shame if metroplex comes out and does what he needs to do but ends up being a crap figure on his own, though to be honest even that might not dissuade me

    For giant guys like metroplex or titan wave, how should they do their minions scale wise? Should they still be micromaster sized or would people not mind if ones like Ramjet and Stripmine were bumped up to core class/small deluxe?

    Aside from Trypticon having some ratchet joint issues, I think they're usually pretty good for the most part

    Well for Metroplex, Drill Bit sat on the back end "mouth" of his Axe and if Minicons were any bigger than regular, they wouldn't look right with others like that Armada Starscream coming

    The three WFC titans are fantastic! Omega Supreme was among my first figures when I started collecting (was one part of my third ever purchase, alongside MP Wheeljack, making him either 4th or 5th), and it's what really secured me into actually collecting.

    Scorponok is only better. He's my favorite titan so far, but Blackzarak might dethrone him only because, well, Blackzarak. I got the Ark a few days ago, and can happily say that he is also very, VERY nice. Probably my second favorite.

    That being said,I have every titan so far except Metroplex and Grand Maximus, and Devastator and Fort Max are pretty wibbly. Trypticon is fine, he does what he needs to do, but he's not much for dynamic posing (but, it is Trypticon so...).Predaking is pretty good combined, but otherwise he's fine, which is about as high as Prime Wars really gets for me.

    TL: DR, basically, if Cybertron Metro is as any good as the WFC titans, he should be pretty damn solid.

    I mean, If metroplex is going to be as big as he should be, his mini con would be even smaller then on the original by comparison. For the giant guys I think upgrading their partners to "mega minicons" could work. Something like the energon highwire upscale but not shit
