There's nothing wrong with sending girls pictures of your Slammer.

Transport around Metroplex has been greatly disrupted by Wheeljack's misguided attempt to install a monorail.
"Metroplex airport" is actually located in Kalis, a 2 hour bus journey away.
The Greater Metroplex Authority has implemented a zero-tolerance approach to Empties, routinely clearing them away by force.

The SNP have given all Metroplexs the vote after finding out they have Scottish independence leanings.

Metroplex is in league with a certain branch manager at Mattel.

Transport around Metroplex has been greatly disrupted by Wheeljack's misguided attempt to install a monorail. Now I want to build a Lego Monorail round my Metroplex when I get him..... which might be sooner than I thought as Liz has got a good deal on the car insurance rendering me £150 toy money ! |

People. We must help a chum. One of our number, He Who Is Andu, is due to be paid in the next few days. He requires funds for Real Life things yet experiences strong and overwhelming urges to buy a Metroplex instead. We must show solidarity. We must help him resist. The Red Haze must not get him at this time! JOIN THE FIGHT. -Ralph Which real life experiences? I feel I need to know in order to make a balanced arguement |

An A3 printer is required, so I can do my pencils in non photo blue to help my inking (and save me erasing things) and also do a few prints to flog. The A3 scanner comes afterwards.

Printer seems the more important purchase. The Metroplexi will still be available at a future payday for purchase. He is a big robot, and thus won't be moving that swiftly.

Indeed, common sense is winning out.
Besides the printer should ideally pay for itself, as I can use it for some natty prints...

Also if you bide your time, get your printing and scanning gizmos first, Metroplex may drop slightly in price by the time you can afford him.

You shall have a Metroplex before the trams begin to run! This I foresee.

I think we'll have self-transforming CNT* figures with telepathic interfaces that also do the hoovering by the time the trams begin to run.

Metroplex confessed he was responsible for the delays to the Trams.
He said there was no reason for it besides his own amusement, but I suspect jealousy of other cities undergoing improvements.

- Do you know who else owns a Metroplex? That's right - HITLER!
I'll have you know, he's a perfectly good dinner party guest as long as you avoid talking politics. You know who isn't a good dinner party guest though? Metroplex. He ignores the coasters on the coffee table, always asks for seconds, never brings a bottle of wine and doesn't brush the lavatory clean, if you get my meaning... |

Yup, the decoys chrome and second gun are the selling point of SDCC metroplex. A Japanese con exclusive has thes features but the decoys are different colours

Decoys should seriously come back. They would make good bonus extras or another idea for mystery bag bandwagon.
I thought Metroplex had the second gun anyway?

Nope- the Hasbro version has to make do with one massive, roleplay-sized hand-cannon, two shoulder mounted blasters, a chest mounted missile rack and multiple turret hardpoints.

Does that mean a third-party Six Gun is likely?  |

Almost certain. Someone yell when they start KO Metroplex Guns as I'd like a second. tfwiki.net/wiki/Metroplex_%28G1%29#GenerationsIIRC neither of the two general release Metroplex have a second gun: you need one of the two con versions for that. I think. But am not 100% sure as the Japanese version isn't out yet |

I dreamed last night that I was going to buy a Metroplex until Phil jumped out from nowhere, ripped open the box and told me I had to put on the arm and stickers by myself. I then woke up so do not know the outcome.
For some reason, Phil had the voice of Bungle from the kids tv show 'Rainbow' and wore a black tie.

We were in a white void, like in episode 1 of the Doctor Who story 'The Mind Robber'.
