More Top Toyfair 2013 - Including Generations Metroplex Sun Feb 10, 2013 1:20 pm So a bunch of stuff was revealed at Toyfair last night. Most notable was the announcement of Generations Metroplex. Based on the Fall of Cybertron version, he stands at 2 foot tall and is quite pretty!

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

However, another year goes by where Hasbro completely ignores the Marvel Universe Death's Head they teased a couple of years ago. sigh Team Fortress 2(Steam): EnergonHotShot04

A few figures aside, I buy very few new Transformers figures. I buy reissues of G1 stuff, and I pick up a new figure (usually an Optimus here and there) but since my enjoyment of the property is based mostly on nostalgia, I don't buy the new stuff. I don't buy Generations. I don't buy Prime. I don't even buy the Masterpiece stuff. I like it all, and I think it's as good or better than the stuff I amassed while being more hardcore in my collecting, but I just don't want to buy it. ...with ONE exception. Legends! They're small. They're cute! They take up almost no space (either on a shelf or when stored) and they're so cheap, that even though my wife has NEVER given me ** over a purchase, I know they'll never be the thing that pushes her over the edge. And Metroplex is, for all intents and purposes...a LEGENDS FIGURE! I can not wait to have that thing standing on top of a shelf with all the tiny little Legends figures scattered around its feet. That is gonna be SWEET! snarl wrote:Just... really... what the ** have [IDW] been taking for the last 2 years? Brendocon wrote:Yaya's money.

Springer looks amazing, as does Trailbreaker. Plus that means we get Hoist soon right. Metroplex... gotta be honest i am not bowled over - his trasport mode is loveley but the city mode looks a little feeble and his robot mode, well he just doesn't look robust enough to me. He's a bit skinny for a city IMO,. Website

Metroplex IS LINED UP AS MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT. I NEED TO TAKE DOWN AT LEAST ONE SHELF TO FIT HIM OMG. Trailbreaker will look very nice with my 'bots. Megs is a definite maybe. Shockwave, provided I can remove the kibble, is a possibility as that is a nice Shockers sans-spiky crap. bumblemusprime wrote: When I picture Simon Furman's direct ancestor, squatting in dingy furs, singing songs about the glory of the Saxon tribe, I imagine him as the very first to gather his buddies around the campfire and say "There was this dude named Beowulf..."

You owned the 1986 one, right? This one's very true to the original. Speaking of, he's also the same scale with regards to me, as the original was when I got him for christmas back then! bumblemusprime wrote: When I picture Simon Furman's direct ancestor, squatting in dingy furs, singing songs about the glory of the Saxon tribe, I imagine him as the very first to gather his buddies around the campfire and say "There was this dude named Beowulf..."
