TRANSFORMERS G1 METROPLEX “Reissue” Knockoff Review

In Transformers, Metroplex was the ultimate warrior against the evil Decepticons, and the Autobots lived inside him. Which sounds weird if you don’t know he’s a city. While there was an official reissue, it’s quite pricey now, so Captain Kyle checks out this counterfeit “reissue” version of the toy to see if it would fit well in your collection.
Metroplex was in Transformers: The Movie back in 1986, but he never transformed into robot mode. Weird. And the City Commander, Ultra Magnus, was about the same size, toy-wise. Still, he was a cool toy where you could have your smaller Autobots use him as a base, or he could go up against the mechanized Trypticon. But does this fake “reissue” stack up to the original toy? Captain Kyle examines it in detail so you can decide if it fits in your collection.

When I first started collecting vintage G1 I was only interested in 84-85 but now I'm wanting the 86 and some from 87. I love the big one's like this and the combiners also.

My favorite of the "base" transformers. I saved up for months to get him and it was very satisfying to pick him up from layaway back in the day. I wasn't disappointed. Interesting note, the only part that broke on me was that little scamper gun that was missing from this one you showed. Maybe the KO company thought it was too fragile a design for the platic they are using?

I snagged this too. Not bad, but like this vid points out, scampers gun was absent. Also my scamper came with two left arms, and sixgun's white chest plate was poorly moulded. Ultimately worth getting if you're wanting to fill out a G1 collection.

Speaking of the Titan Metroplex, I literally got mine which is the SDCC version loose but complete and un-applied stickers(can't find the sticker sheet at the moment since moving) for like $100. I am so mad the guy threw away his box but for $100, I can't go wrong with it.

@lordsethos2000
@lordsethos2000 4 месяца назад
this makes me sad. real G1 stuff was all about hiding in plain sight. and when you transform them into their robot form, you don't need to add 68 pieces to fill it out. really means more to lose. i know almost all bots had fists/wings/bits but they really worked hard back then to make them look as good as possible in Alt form. (robot form that's another story... )

Likely because they got the molds from Takara, and Jetfire wasn't a Takara product.
