    Really is jaw dropping amazing. Appreciate the excellent work going into this.

    Maybe 20 years from now someone might build a real life metroplex you can park your car in. #nextlevel

    I would honestly buy that Metroplex! I love how he 3D printed the different colors into the Heli pad and other places instead of using paint.

    Looks amazing!!

    Hopefully he advertises them for sale once it's finished. I bet that's a lot of hours on a printer though.

    Maybe Unicron will be next...... :eek:

    It looks like he had knee joints. Do his hips move as well?

    I’d take one in generations size. I love my titan metroplex but having this as essentially Autobot toy storage? Heck yes please!

    I might be mistaken, but, while it looks like there's the intention to have his hips and knees move, currently the body and thighs are standing on that cabinet, with the lower legs in front of said cabinet, and a clever angle chosen so we can see it is complete; so I would say not yet implemented/too soon to tell.

    Right. I just want a giant Metroplex that can kneel.

    That my friends is worthy of being a crowdfunded project. Even building it yourself would be fun like gi joe was. Must have ratchets and some post g1 articulation especially foot pivot.

    Foot pivot would be awesome. I wanna see Metroplex in a hard A stance with his fist pointing down ready to lay down some colossal destruction.

    I think this is the biggest transforming figure, ever. It hasn't been said to be but it is bigger than the wooden one isn't it?

    Perhaps using a more advanced mechanism for the knees, using pistons or something for stability, given he weight.

    Is this person only making one for themselves or a commission? Is there any word about small scale production?

    Love this project, especially for the detail work. The size is impressive (obviously!), but the crisp detailing on the lower legs, forearms, etc. is what really gets me!

    I think it’s being made to see if it’s possible. Maybe it could be made in production but we don’t know yet.
