I'll forgive you... This time. :P

At least Astoria isn't drawn to look super underaged...

Um... actually, I almost said something in my earlier comment to the effect that that would be one film that wouldn't be appropriate to include... unless it was in the form of some tasteful museum exhibit or something, which I suppose. But beyond that, no.

It is more cartoon accurate in its colouring, I will agree. But the one I have is still pretty good, especially once you add the Reprolabels to give him more of the original toy's detailing.

This needs to be real! Although it seems to be less a Ghibli theme park, and more specifically a Miyazaki one. (Yes, there is a bit from Earthsea, but that is technically still a Miyazaki film... just Goro rather than Hayao.)

Well, as long as he isn't his kid via Astoria Carlton-Ritz! That'd be wrong!

Not sure if you're being serious or just trolling... What does being liberal have to do with toy collecting? I didn't realize it was a politically divisive issue. And while I am sure there are those who are fans of both franchises, hence abominations such as this:

They already re-did Metroplex:

I agree. That there looks like either the Takara version, or I think maybe we got one similar to that in a multi-figure set? The stand alone US version was colored much differently, but still good. Not a figure I've reviewed (yet), so I don't have any good photos of him by himself handy, but I do have this:

You mean die cast metal, from which the paint chips off oh so easily, and which when used in figures that have any possibility (and aren't the almost motionless bricks most G1 figures were) often can lead to the joints weakening much more quickly and the figure being unable to support its own weight? Yes! Of course,…

Or orange, if memory serves. (I think G2 Devy came in a few different color options.) That being said, he will always be green to me!

Hmm.... The edit button is missing... Perhaps it has been too long since when I made the initial comment? Anyway, that was supposed to be, "he is now a Legends class figure," not, "he is not a Legends class figure." Apologies for any confusion.

I have that Metroplex myself, and he is awesome. And I'd love a Trypticon to face off against him.

The reason is that Hasbro didn't want to put all of Superion or all of Menasor in one wave, so that (a) a wave wouldn't be all one faction, (b) they could highlight the "Scramble City" style functionality of limbs to work with any torso, and (c) they could force people to have to buy toys from multiple waves, even if…

I've seen that video before... but it is still just as awesome today!

I agree I'd prefer Groove to be a limb, but at least unlike the replaced limbs in Superion and Menasor, he's still around. As Argh pointed out, he is not a Legends class figure who forms Defensor's chest shield. Eh, not ideal, but I'll take it.

Eh... While that was a surprisingly decent reuse of the Jazz mold (Wheelie from Jazz? Who'd have thunk it?) I'd have to say I still prefer the Legends version:

How's this for Movie-era figures?

My general rule of thumb is if an official Hasbro or Takara version of a toy exists, or is announced to be coming out soon, that is the version of the toy I will have. Or, if I already have a third party version and an official one comes out that looks better (such as was the case with Springer) then, why not have…

I'm sorry, as a 37 year old person who enjoys his chocolate milk and has no trouble digesting it, I am not about to stop drinking it.
