Description The robot mode of Citybot Megaloplex, The Citybot assigned to defend Tokyo and Japan in general. He has willingly 'crippled' himself by donating his transformation cog and it is kept in an underground vault elsewhere in the city. The Japanese government is weary of having giant creatures in the city, probably after one too many Godzilla and Mothra attacks!

The colour scheme is based on the Diaclone Metroplex prototype, and the name Megaloplex comes from the name given to the Cybertronian Metroplex released in Japan. My thanks must go to -TF-The-Lost-Seasons- for bringing this colour scheme to my attention and for coming up with the name too.

With a name sounding like Megaloman, it could only be assigned to Japan!

So true, didn't know about that character, we derived Megaloplex from Cybertron Metroplex's japanese name: Megalo Convoy. It's great that we are referencing it thoug

Chris also forgot to mention that this color scheme comes from a prototype version of Metroplex, I think this is from when they were designing him to be part of the Diaclone line: [link]

Yeah, I turned all his lights on to further differentiate him from Metroplex and his bottlegreen windows.
