    Does anyone have info on these Metroplex & Rodimus Prime bronze mini figures? They're each about 1.3 inch tall. They are copyright Takara and are definitely vintage.

    I have a silver Metroplex but can't remember where I got it.

    I've since discovered they were both in the Transformers Takara Seven Cybertron Set (1987):

    The Metroplex / Metroflex figure was in a few other Transformers Takara Seven sets as well.

    That explains it. I bought a Junior Headmaster Chromedome a few years back. The Autobot symbol, the Metroplex and a cheap little plastic Rodimus Prime came with it.

    Do you still have the Rodimus Prime? Was it a vinyl figure?

    I'm not sure if I still have it. I sold my house in 2018 and I threw out a lot of stuff. Most of my collection has been in storage since.

    That's the Chromedome set I got. I was surprised that Chromedome had diecast. Stylor is close in size to a Titanmaster.
