G1 METROTITAN REVIEW ( metroplex repaint )

[damo9811]

excllent review as usual.sorry for asking but did i hear you correctly when you said you added the lights effect to his city mode tower blocks yourself?,its just that he is meant to have that effect any way,maybe its stickers and yours were missing. [looks like the pepole living in his towers have their lights on at night].oh,the small orange micromaster is named "metrobomb"

[Crisfromcal]

Takara/Tommy screwed up when they didn't reissue Metrotitan at the same time the reissued Encore Metroplex. I nearly wet myself when I heard that they were reissuing Metroplex a few years back cuz I felt there was a high probability of them reissuing Metrotitan as well.

@Crisfromcal there was a k.o. released of this figure just after that, you can usually find them about

[Crisfromcal]

@thecollector75 I was wondering about the extra Micromaster ramp on Metrotitan. I can't tell by the video but has that section of Metrotitan's leg been remolded to attach the ramp to him or is it the same mold as Metroplex and just lay on the side?

[thecollector75]

@Crisfromcal i think it was just slightly remolded so it can attach to his leg . but not alot

[TheNightBadger]

You paid £200 for him five years ago?! The duty and VAT on that must be crushing!

[thecollector75]

@TheNightBadger nah, as i bought it from a seller over here

[MrJohnjohn35]

you were lucky to get him for £200 i've not seen a boxed complete one for less than £350!

[NTGMITZA]

Is there an autobot enemy of the decepticon metrotitan ?

[thecollector75]

@NTGMITZA not sure , maybe grandus

[saberfrost1]

[LordMegatron27]

[Eucep]

Superb Review. You got the year right and Chris McFeely also says that Metrotitan and the Decepticon race car patrol where the only Decepticons released for Zone. The reason for that being is because in Japan, villian toys don't sell as well as heroic toys. It dosen't make sense as to why Takara added that Micromaster ramp. Metrotitan also has the same colour scheme as Diaclone Ultra Magnus it seems too.

[David315842]

Oh and I forgot to say hello to Sky Lynx in the background. ^_^

Ignorant question alert: Is Black Zarack == Cybertron Scorponok? It seems to be. I like that name better, by the way, than just plain Scorponok. I have an Energon ... MegaZarak on order. It should come in this week.

[thecollector75]

black zarak is a g1 scorponok recolour with a new head and a huge trident spear and lots of lovely gold plastic that will break off just by looking at it funny. cybertron scorponok was a homage to him

[CrappyTFhater]

It is awesome knowing someone who knows more than me about a hobby I enjoy so much. People I know IRL, outside my children, are like "Oh, yeah, I saw both movies." -_-

I hates the first movie. I like the 2007 movie but hate that it brought about "Transformers that are overly difficult and break easily".

But I digress BADLY.

[CrappyTFhater]

Dang, your reviews are fun. I read about this guy over teh mighty internets, but couldn't find him for a good price; at least not this day & age.

[thecollector75]

he is way over priced for what he is . the same goes for black zarak as he is just over loaded with gold plastic syndrome

[Gripen1974]

A reissue of black zarak with gold chromed black platic or with better quality gold plastic would be sweet

[Edmino14]

nice i didnt knew u were from u.k

[thecollector75]

yep, just outside london

[Edmino14]

coool anyway the toy is nice but i prefer metroplex (i ever wanted to live in u.k).

[ilovemess]

looks great. i do prefer the metroplex version tho. i think the colours are a little more credible. i think this guy is more of a collectors piece tho. regards, ray

[1of3knights]

Another nice japanese TF. Keep the good reviews coming! D:)
