I have always wondered, with the Sam's Club Energon Prowl and Starscream set...
This one:
Did the set include the trading card size Tech Specs figures Deluxe and above included?
I would assume no, being a retail exclusive, but the K-Mart Prowl and Checkpoint came with one (both on one card) so there is precedent.

Yeah, sorry, I should have worded it better -- I meant in lieu of doing a new mold.
Or rather, should they do a new mold because the T30 one is so geared towards a size class they don't support anymore.
Definitely wouldn't mind a new Metroplex (even though I wouldn't be able to get him) that's a little more G1 accurate. That is, able to actually bend the knees in city mode so he doesn't HAVE to be sprawled out to take up as much room as humanly possible, and bring back the missing guns and accessories.
And Fort Max just needs a better, more interactive city mode. Compared to G1 Fort Max, there was just so little "in," just on, or around.
To say nothing of the fact that now more than ever, the city mode was literally just the battleship mode doing the splits.
Oh, and the fact that you pretty much have to have Cerebros connected at all times, or else everything is going to look off, which kind of hurts the point of being a Headmaster/Titan Master.
I'd personally prefer Fort Max, and Scorponok for that matter, at Leader or Commander size. Aside from cost and space concerns, I'm more familiar with them from the comics, where they're both big, but not Titan big.
I still have the Takara release of T30 Metroplex. As a stand-alone, giant super robot, it works really well, IMO. As a Transformer that needs to worthy of the price it commanded back then (and especially now), nah. I always felt that Fort Max wore it better, but I've got just as many issues with his alt modes, so yeah: new molds please. I would be fine with Metroplex being a little smaller but feel that Fort Max should retain his towering stature.
Am I the only one who what's the Citybots bigger? I like the "Divorce Size Class" 6' tall Metroplex! 
I kid, I kid.
I do understand the argument that the titan class bots can bit awfully large for a lot of people's collections. However, as someone who does have some room to display, I really enjoy the Titan class figures. They are fun to play around with in both modes. I love the way the minicon size bots and headmasters can walk around the base modes. I also love how menacing they look when posed with standard Generations size figures.

I do love the large scale of them and the fact that they can be a playset (something that is far too rare in today's toy ecosystem). I like to keep mine surrounded by roughly Legends of Cybertron scale figures to make them seem even larger.
Rub it in, why dontcha?
