Thank you so much for this video, quite a Rosebud moment. So many memories came flooding back, I played with this toy so much and to see each part of it again was a joy. I got this for Christmas and was blown away by how good it was. 🙏
@@patrickscullion4214 Thanks for the kind words. Made my day.
I was 8yrs old when my dad brought this for my Christmas present. Metroplex was awesome and my dad was the best.
I was the only kid in my town that had this growing up. Today it was took out of mothballs and gave to my 4 year old boy.
Lucky i asked my dad for this for the majority of my childhood still glad you got that experience
I got it at 9 years old at Christmas, lasted me years until my brothers ruined it in envy.
Got mine yesterday at 18 all the pieces are missing but it's intact
When i was 9, I begged for a Metroplex for Xmas and got slapped, and my Xmas present were maths and English exercise books...so when i grown up i keep buying toys and filled my house almost without space to walk...i think is a mental problem. Recently I bought a G1 Metroplex KO, I somehow ran into tears and smile like a kid while playing it. Its like I finally owned a Metroplex in my life😢
I cannot have this as a child from where I am from, so I made a make-believe Metroplex out of Legos and placed all my throttle bots transformers like they are in a bot city
I used to do that for fun the space sets and Star Wars stuff to build my own combiner teams.
Man! how can you NOT like this figure!! he's freaking awesome! LOL!
I dont like him. Don't like the transformation on any of the citybots. Give me a nice car or plane transformer anyday
alphatrion100 well you’re the dumb exception bye
Sixguns' two body parts actually fit inside Metroplex' legs. You can store them there.
You knew your friend's parents were loaded when he was playing with Metroplex while you were playing with Jazz.
Tnx for the review, im getting mine tomorrow, complete and all!
My son was just given one of these in mint condition with 100% parts!!! As well as a mint 100% scorponok by out neighbor!!! They were his toys in the 80s. I’m not knowledgeable on transformers at all ! I was a solid Gi Joe kid!!! This video is educational as all get out.
Lucky...
85 was a good Christmas year, I got this and a Murray Street Racer.
Best review of Metroplex by far!
Cool review!! Gotta love the city formers
My aunt named my Metroplex The Major... He says: CHUBBYKNOCKERS (pretender Jazz) GOOD LAD!!!! GALVATRON? WHO'S GALVATRON? AH YES HE'S A GOOD LAD GONE BAD!!!!
It was very cool waking up on Christmas morning and this transformer is sitting on the floor. Very old video so late to the party. The small black gun you held up is what goes to Six Gun and Scamper has a small pistol. The toyhax upgrade labels are very cool and worth getting for the whole group. Oh, to give an edit, combiner bots can connect to the shoulders and knees according to instructions. I guess you can do a Super Metroplex.
Just found this G1 transformer at a thrift store for $3.99 😅. Not fully complete but in decent shape.
I love the g1 transformers from the 80s and metroplex is omne if them
I had a relative. Who had him. He was nice in robot mode. But in city and battle station modes. He was huge and bulky.
I am having a bit of a crisis with mine. The part in the left arm is broken and i cant seem to find a replacement for it and i dont know what i could use for an alternative
Do you know da wae to find a solution to your problem?
Transformation is at 5:20
Here the same, my wallet hates me every month! I love the combiners and cityformers as well. I still need Scorponok,Abominus and Omega Supreme. I've got the G1 Predacons double, one in Predaking mode and one individually boxed. On last weeks podcast you talked about Hexatron being pushed back again. I preordered him as well, so hope he'll be available soon since Sixshot is one of my faves.
dude this video is the best
yeah I freaking love it
good vid,
appreciated the rotation of the base letting me understand what's the thing
with an image editor I'm resizing metroplex, it should be out of scale confronted to optimus prime (optimus is tall as 2-third of that red label on behemont's foot, which I consider sorta great door, actually a 2-lane tunnel, littier respect to behemont's kneecap's).
I think the parts you open on the thighs should pop up some rifles.
You have 3 torrets (2 from behemont's amrs), each of 'em should have a rotational apex armed with rifle - sort of AA turret; same goes on the landing platform with that red tower, it's apex shoud be a rotational AAtype-rifle turret. Just in this way the base mode becomes a fortress.
engineers didn't think about this detail - legs are used as roads leading to the central bulk: at the access you have a 2way tunnel (behemont's kneecaps), but in the middle of the road you have behemont's feet, the engineers had to foresee tunnel thru those otherwise the passage is impeded.
Weird. I bought this when it came out. My Scamper didn't have a big gun like that. It was a small pistol not much larger than his head.
Edit: I commented before finishing the video. As noted at 7:52 or so, I think you are missing Scamper's gun.
that's a great vid buddy. I'm doing him for my 100 subs vid very soon (I'm at 98 at the moment). I'm also gonna check out the movie again to see scamper.
The shortest city bot in g1. At least the generations version buffed him up.
And made him hollow with no gimmicks. I'll take quality over size any day.
Metroplex and Trypticon should have been as tall as Fort Max--and Fort Max should have been closer in size to Metroplex!
Comparing this to Generations Metroplex nowadays, this managed to be a City wayy better than Generations one.
It was a bit quick, but I think the "Scampers gun" you held up might be the one for six gun. At least thats the one I used
He says that in the video...
doesn't the protecto bots connect to him
casi lloro, yo lo tenia cuando niño =)
I found this figure for 24 bucks on Ebay I'll buy him soon he comes with 3 transformers and missing his arms but it's not a big deal for me it doesn't effect his transformation to base mode and city mode
Do you sell it??
I got mine today, the city mode is way better than the generation version. But the building piece on his back is rather loose on my G1 version. It falls as I touch him, which kind of sucks.
Use nail polish or floor polish to tighten the connection
9:35 i LOVE that mode sorry alright yeah 12:38 heh heh 13:33
great review, he looks so tiny next to fort max,
In the G1 cartoon, the large Transformers always had rivalries with an arch nemesis. Metroplex versus Trypticon, Fortress Maximus versus Scorponok, but who was Omega Supreme's arch nemesis?
G1Hexatron then who are the dinobots rivals
KaSandra Collins the predacons
The way it always matched up for me was:
Dinobots / Constructicons
Aerialbots / Stunticons
Protectobots / Combaticons
Technobots / Terrorcons
Sky Lynx / Predaking
Metroplex / Trypticon
Fort Max / Scorponok
But Omega Supreme was always a guy without much equal. He always strikes me as a "Combiner Killer" of sorts in that he is just as powerful AND strong, but is only a single, relatively intelligent guy, meaning he could coordinate himself far better than most Combiners.
The only flaw he has is that he takes a LOT of energon to keep running, so he rarely moves unless his presence is needed or he really needs to ruminate.
Actually Raiden was Devastator's Arch-Nemesis.
Dinobots - Insecticons
Omega Supreme - Constructicons
Aerialbots- Stunticons
Protectobots - Combaticons
Sky Lynx - Predacons/ Predaking
Technobots - Terrorcons
Metroplex - Trypticon
Fortress Maximus - Scorponok
Is this a cheaper model ? I've seen others that looked different and more accurate.. anyway, i like Fortress Maximus better.
This guy would make a perfect base for my prime masters
in in city mode the sarmble ctiy torsos only sliverbolt,motormaster,hot spot and Onslaught can connet to Metroplex t2rx6 expansions how
Wow that's a lot of work! I can't believe I used to play with Metroplex! 1985 I was 8 years old and loved Metroplex! That Transformer is super fiddly and not suitable for any kid under 7 or 8.
the gun you have for scamper isnt his, thats sixguns lol so now you found it
나는 저것을 한국 애니하비라는곳에서 봤습니다
Hands down the worst review I have seen to date.
Was Metroplex actually fun to olay with?
He was the only city bot I had as a kid and got him 2nd hand in the 80s and he wasn't complete. I had a blast. Now as a collector having owned all of the city bots, he's probably lacking the most, but still fun.
@@G1Hexatron I had Powermaster Prime. He was hard to keep together but he was great.
