Description
The goal here was to turn Cybertron Metroplex into more of a Classics/Universe version. That means that he needed to turn into a city, robot, and mobile battle station.I used G1 stickers to give him a more G1 feel in normal robot and city modes, then just made up the rest as I went.
I used multiple shades similar to steel and concrete to give him a more realistic city robot look in all forms but still staying somewhat close to the G1 scheme.
This was my first time working with styrene so I tried to keep it simple on that. I removed the feet shovels and turned them into vehicle ramps, and made the building that merges with the 2 other building parts to form his huge gun.
I also modded the dark mini-con with 2 extra guns so he'd have 6- so now he is Sixgun, one of Metroplex's minions from G1.
The other Minicon is painted to look like Slammer, the tank minion. Slammer serves as the twin cannons of Metro's shoulder (like G1 had) and as building antennae or spires, as well as having a vehicle and robot mode.
Both minions can be building parts or mounted guns for any mode.
I am painting the big staff thing he had too, but just to be a guitar for rocking out poses or in case anyone wants to put him back in his construction vehicle mode.

Metroplex heeds the call of the last Prime.

for a second I thought about how ridiculous a robot the size of a city would be, then I remember there are already transformers that are the size of planets out there...
