    Is there a tower mode? Can he integrate with the previous Metroflex?

    The leaked product description via Amazon says he was designed to be backwards compatible with that Metroplex and there is a tower mode.

    The color of the arms don\'t match the rest of the body.  I normally don\'t care but for once that looks odd.  His waist looks odd too

    Not sure why that should matter. Cliffjumper, Tracks, Beachcomber, Seaspray, Powerglide, Windcharger, Gears (pretty common trait of the Minibots in general, honestly) and lots more characters besides have arm colours distinct from their torsos.

    I'm hoping that this turns out to be correct but I think we have to keep in mind some of these blurbs are composed early in development and things can change, prime example being ER Sky Lynx's "Micromaster Partner ASTROSCOPE". For now I'm keeping my fingers crossed but am preparing myself for it to turn out that tower mode may have been sacrificed for different integration with/made specifically for the purported Cybertron Metroplex Titan, and not for T30 compatibility as previously stated.

    A metro squad would be awesome! I personally don't need metrotitan, but metrosquad would be an absolute win!

    Looking a bit skinny in the waist/thigh area but hot diddily doo I dig him. It also helps I keep picturing him with the personality of Suicide Squad King Shark. Tis a man of action not of words.

    As much as I would love that, Hasbro never did Metroshot, so why would they now do Metrotank.

    Because the Recolor slot for that mold was taken by the powerdasher recolor. Now that we have not only Roritchi but Black Zarak too the chances of it happening are much better than they once were.

    Looks decent enough, I like weaponizers and while I'm not sure about the choice of no grip peg on the cannon barrel, otherwise this seems like a fun entry. That said, it would make an even better Decepticon mold with a new head and colorscheme, the WFC 'cons are outnumbered and could use the help - in WFC, not counting Micromasters or Battle Masters, there's 55 unique Autobots to 40 Decepticons (as well as 13 Maximals, 11 Predacons, 3 Mercenaries, 4 Quintessons, and 1 Unicron).

    S1 Decepticons were greatly outnumbered, and that deficit carries through to the later seasons, especially where Season 3 and up tended to make sure that every team had an opposite number. Except that the Decepticons greatly outnumber the Autobots on the Combiner count 6-3, which is where things even out. No Combiners in WFC, though (although a rumoured re-do for the upcoming Legacy trilogy).

    Imagine a standoff between him and Megatron.
    Slammer backed into a corner, Megs looming over him, fusion cannon to his head.
    Slammer tells him to look down, at which point he sees Slammer's cannon dug into his torso.

    For the Metrosquad, I think it's never too late to make them. The Siege weaponizers translated to the Powerdashers pretty well, so that made sense at the time rather than making Metroshot and 2 unconnected dudes. Now that we have the 3 main guys, a box set makes a lot of sense if they want to do it. As for Metrobomb, while we never got the specific Micromaster body, I think you could substitute in one of the many other car micros from SG/ER and be pretty damn close.

    We do live in a world where Star Convoy and Super Megatron got heavy remolds, I think a simple redeco pack is possible. The real issue might be how accessible/intact/affordable is the Scamper mold now. We know it can be used solo from Funpub, but that was a pretty special case, and was years ago.

    I think if the warm beige of the body was more of a cold grey like the G1 toy/cartoon it'd blend better. As it is, the two do contrast pretty damn heavily. Although sometimes cameras make contrast worse than it really is.

    I actually purchased the black Seige Sideswipe recolor and repainted it and added a faceplate as my new Scamper.
