    as it is it's not needed. but if the face is chromed and more weapons added then i'll buy. maybe instead of the head upgrade maybe work on a sixgun instead.

    But what does it do in base mode? Those other accessories don't appear to be related to the head. One of Metroplex's main drawbacks compared to G1 is that in G1, it collapsed into the body leaving just the guns which would have been way better.

    What I'd love is a replacement head, where the cannon portion stays connected to the neck joint, but the mass of the head slides out easily and turns into another weapon or tower! Oh, and I'm not liking the black goatee look.

    Sweet! I am all in for some metro upgrades. I am still hoping that someone will release an FOC pack of upgrades.

    I think it's cool and I support UT but I am hoping for a full project and not upgrades. I like metro as is but the head looks cool in my opinion. But in the end I want to see a full new project from UT.

    I like the sculpt, but the "soul patch" in the render looks incorrect

    Really nice sculpt! Might be interested if their quality is improved over their Predaking.

    I dig it! plus a bunch of small extras in addition to the set those could be a teaser for a bigger set including six, tank and a extension for the ramp let's give UT a chance to dazzle us with something that improves on a great figure already.

    If it actually transforms into something that doesn't look like a flipped-forward head, I'm in.

    Radars and Turrets are cool, but not the head. I don't see much of spotlight's Metroplex head design in this.

    Not a fan of the head. If this was like the original head but with chrome, I might buy it. The extra turrets are a nice bonus, but I could care less about the radar dish. Definitely not the first Metroplex upgrade I plan to run out and buy.
