When the center portion of his chest is pressed down, his eyes and chest light up, and he plays an alternating series of seven voice clips and five sound effects of him eliminating a Decepticon threat, all from the Fall of Cybertron video game. Metroplex is covered with numerous 5mm peg-holes for weapons mounting, and his weapons also feature 5mm pegs. He also comes with two smaller cannons which are meant to peg onto the cannons on his shoulders, but can also be hand-held. The gun itself is so large that it's sculpted with a bridge and numerous tiny turrets to resemble a starship, and its barrel tip is cast in orange plastic for safety reasons. He comes with a large, spring-loaded, missile-firing gun that can be held by his hands, or mount onto a 5mm port on his back to serve as a shoulder-mounted weapon. He also has a cartoon-accurate visor which flips down when his antennae are twisted forward, and can be flipped back up when the antennae are twisted back, or when one pushes the visor up with their fingers. His robot mode is highly articulated, even featuring individually-jointed fingers, as well as articulated pupils that can move from side-to-side when a lever behind his head is moved. tall!" call-outs, a measuring scale down its edge, and the statement of "BIGGEST EVER!" in huge letters. His packaging is a wonderful testament to this fact, sporting numerous "Over 2 ft. The centerpiece of Hasbro's Thrilling 30 anniversary campaign, Generations Metroplex stands around 24 inches tall in robot mode, snatching the title of "tallest Transformers toy ever produced" from the original Fortress Maximus toy by a two inch margin. Generations Metroplex was repurposed as Aligned Metroplex by Transformers: The Covenant of Primus. Optimus Prime sadly swore that Metroplex's sacrifice would not be in vain. The heroic titan collapsed for a final time, but was happy to see the Autobots finally leaving Cybertron, and in his dying moments, Metroplex's last words were, "'Til all are one." Connecting his Spark to the Ark's fuel tanks, there was enough energon to launch the ship. Optimus protested, but Metroplex had made his choice. Still, Optimus was glad to have an ally like Metroplex on their side.ĭays later, after the Autobots located another source of energon-only for it to be halved thanks to the Decepticons-Metroplex offered to sacrifice his life, donating the energon inside him to give the Ark enough juice to launch. Unfortunately, the energon used to fuel Metroplex and the Autobots' defense of Autobot City drained their supply, preventing the Ark from being launched. It was at this point that Metroplex had enough of the tyrant, and crushed him several times with his enormous fist, killing Megatron to the shock of the Decepticons, who were soon led in a retreat by Starscream. After Metroplex breached the walls of the base, the Decepticons were quick to back away from the huge threat, but Megatron ordered them to stand their ground. However, the villain gloated too much, and Metroplex revealed his survival by ominously approaching from the back of Megatron's base. Fearing for the worst, Optimus pushed on, but was captured by the Decepticons, and brought to Megatron, who mocked and berated the helpless Autobot leader. However, just as he was to destroy the last of the towers, it shot Metroplex point blank in the chest, felling the mighty giant. Metroplex would launch a devastating air strike on whatever target Optimus marked for destruction, and the colossus was able to wipe out Megatron's equally massive guns that were giving the Autobots a hard time. The titan easily wiped out much of the Decepticon army, including the deadliest of foes such as Marauders. Metroplex's presence on the battlefield proved invaluable to the struggling Autobots.
