Maketoys have now shown off offiical, coloured, images of their Utopia figure (theie take on Metroplex) with word that this is the first in a line of "City Transformers"

The toy is shapped more like the original Metroplex figure compared to the latest release from Hasbro / TakaraTomy, though in many ways this one looks more basic in base and battle station mode.

You can see a lot more images by visiting the Maketoys website, but we've mirrored each mode below for you to see.

Good news for Japanese fans as TakaraTomy have now officiallty released TG-23 Metroplex in their Japan. The Japanese version of Metroplex features a second gun, additional paint applications, white ramps, a chromed face, and foil stickers and images of the new release are available thanks to TFYuki and Alfes2010

TransformersAsia.com have announced that the initial Asian exclusive release of Metroplex (TG-23) will come with a free Metroplex cord / cable holder shaped into the head of the giant robot.  The figure will be released on the 28th September across Asia with the exclusion of Japan.

latimes.com have the scoop on the SDCC exclusive Transformers figures which are bound to leave some fans disappointed.  This years offering see's three sets of figures.  The first is a tribute set to Generation 1 with a release of "Titan Guardians action figures" which are non-transformable versions of G1 Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and Grimlock.  Think ActionMaster but with less articulation.  Next up is a Transformers Prime Beast Hunters offering in the form of "Shockwave's Lab".  The set consists of Shockwave a legends class transparent Predaking  and his "cloning chamber".  Finally, the third release is the figure which has been expected for some time in the form of Titan Class Metroplex with two guns and chromed legs.  Whether this release will be convince fans especially with the 3rd party Six-Gun set on the way remains to be seen.

The images havw been mirrored after the jump

Following on from out recent news regarding a UK release for Generations Metroplex I asked Toys R Us UK directly on Facebook as to whether they could give details on the RRP of the figure.  Whilst they could not, they (or rather James from their customer support team) did reply stating that they expect him to be released in September with further details on the release date and pricing set to be available on their website nearer the time.

You can see their reply below

Our thanks once again go out to Pete Brown for sending us a further update on the Toys R Us Transfomers situation.  In case you have not been keeping up with the recent turn of events, on the 3rd May we reported that TRU UK have had Transformers Generations Voyager Class figures listed within their computer system since Feb though the toys had not hit the shelves.  We followed that up on Saturday 4th May with the next piece of news via Pete which confirmed that Generations Metroplex will be released within the UK as a Toys R Us exclusive later in the year.  Well as promised Pete has sent us further word on the current situation.

Having spoken once again to the manager at his local Toys R Us Pete was informed that the Toys R Us UK Head Office has actually been in touch with Hasbro UK to find out what has happened to these TRU exclusive figures.  The word is that there has been a hold up at Hasbro UKs end which is why the figures have not shipped to UK retail but no specific explanation has been given. The good news is that the Voyager Class figures are now due to hit the TRUs in mid-July with the rest of the deluxes and Metroplex being released shortly after.  No specific street date is available for those figures so shortly after could, potentially, be anything from 1 to 4 months.

Stay with us as we will bring you the very latest updates as we get them on this story

No street date is currently known for Metroplex, though he is due out in August within the US and the fact that he is already listed does suggest that the UK should not be too far behind.
