Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I expected this to be much bigger. I guess when your nine this thing is huge...not so much now.
Even so, the figure is pretty impressive once you finish applying the decals (I LOVE decals! [no, seriously]) with details like skyscrapers, a helipad and ramps. Three modes (city, mobile fortress and robot) give very distinct aspects of the character and new ways of posing/displaying it (I hadn't even known about the mobile fortress mode until I read about it in a book a few years ago).
It also comes with a transformable scout car, two missile firing cannons, two non-firing cannons, a tank, and the parts to form a conning tower for the helipad. The four cannons and conning tower also combine to make another robot. That's four figures (counting the tank) for the price of one! I really wish I had had this when I was a kid, even if would be nothing but spare parts now ( as many can attest).
This is definitely worth adding to a collection.

Metroplex to be reissued! If you missed out on the first release of Metroplex, here is another chance - scheduled to arrive in April 2010. Encore: #12 Metroplex features robot mode/attack mode, vehicle mode, and base mode. Metroplex is accompanied by robot units Scamper, Slammer, and Six-Gun, and an array of weaponry and accessories including Anti-Matter Projectors, Ion Pulse Rifles, twin guided missile launchers, particle beam pistol, acetylene pistol, maser cannon, mortar cannon, missiles, and fists. It is unknown whether the Encore: #12 Metroplex will feature plastic tires or rubber tires. Bulky and square-framed, Metroplex interacts well with smaller Autobots. Scamper transforms from a black six-wheeled car into a patrol robot. Slammer is derived from one of Metroplexâ?TMs towers and the mortar cannon. The aptly-named Six-Gun is derived from a portion of one of Metroplexâ?TMs towers, Metroplexâ?TMs anti-matter projectors, ion-pulse rifles, and twin guided missile launchers. Comprising at least a substantial portion of the vast Autobot City facility, Metroplex is generally considered to be the key adversary of the monstrous Decepticon Assault Base Trypticon, and will typically---provided that Metroplex is capable of Transforming into his robot mode at the opportune moment---overwhelm Trypticon in battle. Please Note:We've received numerous inquiries wondering about the authenticity of the Encore Metroplex.
