Oh heck, that's a surprise I didn't anticipate seeing today. Still zero interest in buying him, but a surprise nonetheless.
In case anyone is wondering, do this up in G1 Scorponok colors and I bet you'll be pretty damn close to what Shattered Glass Metroplex will look like once that's revealed.
Well I don’t know much of him and I don’t like that alt mode, but guess it looks like it’s supposed to. I hope the UT fans out there like it, you guys definitely deserve a win. I don’t want to be THAT guy that’ll say « it would sold out better if it was G1 Metroplex. » It’s kind of a strange pick for this year’s Titan. It seems a bit risky, for a UT figure I thought they should have went with Tidal Wave who seems much more of a fan favorite. Like I said, I don’t know much about UT, so what the hell do I know ? Actually I just hope it sells very well so it doesn’t hurt the Titan class to Hasbro and we get more every year. Enjoy !
What do I do with my original one, now?...... In any case, we've got another couple of potential Giant Planet Titans to go with this guy.
Personally, this is an easy pass but damn he looks great and ngl kind of tempting. But I don’t care about this design $200 much. Still again looks good.
If I can get it for about 100 I might jump on it. Looks great, but I have the original and it doesn't seem super far off. Just updated articulation and extra functionality for the weapon. Not worth the new price tag but I'm excited for UT fans!
this'll be the 1st Titan pass for me. I'm skipping Cybertron characters unless they are not remakes of classic characters(Like from that trilogy, Demolisher and Snowcat for example)
STONK MODE, YEAAAASSSSSS!!! Edit: I wonder if you can set him up in base mode like the leaked images did.
He looks really good, but I can imagine that this is admittedly more niche for a figure, though honestly I love this. If I could burn $200 casually like that, I'd actually buy him. I just wish he wasn't shadow dropped like this...
I could live without the Cyber Key. Let’s be honest folks, those things sucked. No Drill Bit at $200? Inflation or not, Titans are up $50 since 2019, up $40 since less than a year ago. Come on, Hasbro. This is ridiculous even for you. A Mini Con wouldn’t have broken the bank. If they can include a Battle Master with Jackpot without raising the price, how does a new Minicon go out of budget at a $40 markup in less than 12 months? This is just greedy They didn’t have to put the work mode in there but I’m happy they did. Still beats paying $600 to the eBay neckbeards for a 10 year old figure with creaking joints and the articulation of Energon Optimus Prime. I’d rather the steam shovel from hell than yet another boring city former anyways.
Got to admit I really like his look, still have and love the original Cybertron figure, but not even a snowball\'s chance is Hasbro getting $200 from me on this. That price is something.
Astrotrain52, your comment appears to be locked down. It can’t be interacted with (no like, no quoting, etc) Regarding the figure, it looks interesting but not my cup of tea. Bring on the Gen Selects Omega Supreme/Guardian!
Too bad he doesn't include a Mini-con or Cyber key (especially in a line where including little clear plastic accessories is the main theme), but otherwise he looks great! I really love the 'welding mask' and how the axe can split and attach to his forearms like that, that's probably some of my favorite weapon integration/playability they've done in a long time. Definitely don't have the space or money for him but I hope we can expect a similar level of excellence for Override in the Velocitron line (if she gets enough retooling...).
