    How out of place would Metroplex look in a CHUG collection? I don't have the funds to get the generations one as it is basically 3x the price of the original, and I can get a pretty good deal on an original.

    well, he's tiny is the main thing. When i got a vintage one i was pretty surprised how small he is, maybe similar height to a current leader? and very, very bricky.

    G1 Metroplex is about the size of a Voyager class bot height wise.....he is chunkier but he would be undersized for purpose......now G1 Fortress Maximus fits VERY well. But hes 2 feet tall so yeah he's gonna. Heaps of folks are surprised by how small Metroplex is when they score him

    image.jpeg He's a little shorter than a non-Devastators combiner. See for yourself. The articulation is good for G1 but crummy for current transformers.

    I was going to do a G1 metroplex since hunting down a generations one is just impossible.

    I got him for citymode so essentially he's a backdrop Legend class figures can interact with. Its cool.

    If price is no object, maketoys utopia would fit nicely
