Makes for a pretty cool release considering Metroplex's city mode needs as much help as it can get, especially the US version.

 

Trying a bunch of different ways to combine him and Sixgun and realized the simplest solution is often the best.

 

Gunner? SixSlam? Slamgun?

 

I did the same thing over the weekend, I give you slam gun!

 

Got my Slammer earlier this week. The chainsaw was what sold it for me.

 

So cool, just wish it was smaller, like the original. Like that it transforms now.

 

Anyone know where I can buy Slammer for its regular price? Seems like he is out of stock or on preorder for most sites.

 

Anyone with this guy having issues with the turret?
It just falls right off on mine  

 

If it's the gray piece, that is a documented issue.

 

Tony Stark... approves?
 

 

Seriously 5hinking bout getting a 2nd one

 

What I don’t get is the gray and the white don’t match the colors on Titan Metroplex. Why didn’t they match it up?


Maybe they match the new Cybertron Metroplex?

 

Titan Metroplex was released nearly eight years ago.

Factories have changed, plastic batches and sources may have changed, all manner of things may have changed in that interim. Long enough time to have seen 2.5 iterations of the standard "Masterpiece" aesthetic within that timeframe.

Actual straight-up "reissues" will often feature slight colour variances from their initial incarnations, let alone mass-market "fodder" with no strict expectations for colour-matching.

 

I think they could have color matched the whites better, but also Titan Metroplex doesn’t really have all that gray. If this is meant to finish off the set, why not make it so it blends in better for city-tower mode by making it white?

 

G1 Slammer was grey.

 

Okay, but so was G1 Metroplex, so it all matched. It blended together.

As a designer, why wouldn't you want it all to work as a set? If Titan Metroplex is white (more like an off-white) why not try to make it all work in unison?

 

Maybe a new gray Metroplex is coming?

 

Got mine yesterday. I love the tank mode, I like the robot, not crazy about the weapon modes. And upon further inspection would probably make a decent Guzzle (please Hasbro).

 

Finally got this guy from BBTS. I really like him! But, I gotta agree that the loose turret parts are a disappointment. If the designers had put one more tab/slot combination in the back part of the turret it would hold together so much better. Hopefully they apply this simple remold if the toy is ever re-issued or used for a different character.

 

I do like Slammer; he does look good to me in both modes and I don’t mind him being a partsformer, but I don’t like him being so loose. The other Weaponizers and Modulators weren’t like this. I don’t have any of the three Fossilizer molds.

I would be interested in a Metrotank repaint, but they would have to make the peg holes tighter I think.
