He also struggles with his main design imperative seemingly being "BIGGEST", then not doing a whole lot with most of that size. And then shortly afterwards losing that title to his own Fort Max remold, and later Haslab Unicron.

You know, since I never actually owned T30 Metroplex, I had always presumed he was co-branded with the game on the box. Today, I looked up the toy (the box more specifically) and no mention of the game. So I guess it all blended together when hasbro released the first titan-class toy along side it's big appearance in a super-hyped AAA videogame. Which was the crutch of my entire bit, and why I hunted the Blokee. Hell, even before I knew about the Blokee I got picked up the Super Collection Figure Metroplex Build-a-figure at BotCon to use for this tribute to my vanity.

He also uses game voice lines. Not that shared voices means anything in the TF context but still
BEHOLD! MY STUFF!
The primes! Micronus, onyx and alpha trion arrived a few minutes ago, so I figured a quick and easy family portrait was in order. The only ones I'm missing are the currently unreleased stuff.

And Wasp.
I was wondering how long it would take y'all to notice.
Look! Over there, quickly!

Did someone ask for some Wasp?
Somebody get the bug spray out along with the fly swatters!!
Don't worry, Waspinator infestations are usually self-solving. Just keep a broom handy.
Besides the aforementioned voice lines, I'm pretty sure his play pattern of "artillery stations all over" is meant to evoke that part of the game where you man an artillery station there and use it on Decepticons.
That really is just about it.
The FoC version seems more... robust...
...versus the almost lanky proportions of T30.
And here's his alt mode in the game:
I thought I saw art for it before, but can't find it now. Seem to remember it looking a little more dome/building-ish.
Ironically, Cybertron Metroplex seems to form a closer approximation, minus all the guns...

Looks like someone's on the job, though:
Just a pity it ain't Hasbro doing it.
I can't believe High Moon somehow made Metroplex's city mode even more of a dude sitting down.
What? No, you’re like talking about three or four completely different things actually.
There are tabs in the torso proper that the hooves can slide into after the legs wrap and compress around the shoulders into the torso in the toy’s official 2-legged robot mode.
To create the “two-legged version… seen in IDW” it’s pretty much just a fan mode where you unfurl the front centaur legs and leave them partially curved and sticking straight out, because that’s what’s in the IDW depictions.
And what “default” robot are you talking about? The character’s depiction in the comics or the toy? Because the toy has two official robot modes; the centaur, and a bipedal one that is NOT the same one in the comics, but maybe is something that is more similar to what is seen in TFOne.
Also the real Onyx Prime in the comics had a centaur mode, and OnyxWave had a bipedal robot mode but with dangly centaur front leg kibble.
As for the tabs on the shoulder pads on the toy, there is not really a way to orient the front centaur legs to peg onto them in ANY of the robot modes, “default” or otherwise, except in the way I showed in one of its beast modes.
I still generally don't like how SS86 is taking the established WfC/Legacy/AotP scaling and blowing up select characters (e.g. Optimus, Megatron, Magnus). However, one nice thing about it is that SS86 Megs looks a lot better alongside his namesakes than Siege/Earthrise does.
Animated next, please!

It must have been intentional because that lineup looks too good.
Yes. Give me all the Animated Megatron designs in that size.

I can't see the images, there's just a messages saying that its not viewable in my region!
