    I mean if it really is less than $200 from China retailers, I may just get this. Unless early reviews are bad

    I’m actually impressed, looks good and fun to mess with. I like the size too, it’s practical and toyetic instead of some idealized and space consuming gargantuan “Titan “ size

    surprisingly I think this is the one to keep an eye on for legends collectors who also want a practical toy experience. Reminds me of the G1 metroplex toy back on the day, made for legends scale

    Something you could actually enjoy playing with

    I'm liking that model a lot more than the initial renders. Hope they keep what looks like a simplified face.

    wow this was crazy fast and much father along than they lead on...o_O  i am quite impressed with what they did here. but it is a shame that they didn't just go full on crazy and make this a true titan.

    i feel like it could give utopia a run for the money.

    trying to call this a legends titan is a bit of a stretch. it looks kind of sad with those tiny MS bots on it that barely fit. but either way it does looks cool and i am happy for all of yall who can finally grab a metro.

    Looking great, if just too small. As is, I would really like to see how he looks up against Trypticon & some chug scale gestalts.

    I'm also curious as to whether he can form Sixgun & how elaborate the lighting scheme will be.

    Tried following the link, but Weibo just shows up as blank and periodically trying to reload. I can't seem to be able to access Weibo in general for some reason. Anyone know what's up with that?

    Based on those photos, I'm guessing that the 45cm height is to the top of the guns on the shoulders and not the head height?

    Sorry if that was obvious to anyone else and I'm the only one that missed that.

    While I would like it to be a Touch bigger, this is pretty impressive. I wonder how IF's 'Turrets and Manacle' set could interact with it. Also, I am VERY interested to see if they do a new Scamper(the Hasbro version is kind of lame, imho).

    They don't have the bulk that Utopia has, but they do look good.

    I would expect that they have their own Trypticon in the works, if anything.

    Honestly, he looks like a great size to me. I find Titans too big, and the main appeal of a Legends collection to me is that it doesn't take up as much space as regular sized figures, so Metroplex being shorter works for me (even if it's not by a ton). I'm almost warming up to the design details, super toon-accurate with flat surfaces works at a tiny scale, but I think with a guy as big as this it'd get boring looking quick. I'm excited to see a colored test shot.

    Looks so good! I wonder when NA or MS will make one as well.

    the size though wrong and should be bigger to be accurate with existing legends bots, might actually be fine with me. it's big enough to be bigger than everything else i own like it should be, but small enough that i can justify getting it as i wouldn't have room for it if it was any bigger. :p 

    for those concerned with scale, this would prob work very well with Dr Wu extreme line of microbots, which i've been also collecting.

    very interested in this as it looks to have a lot of fun play features to it.
