IDW's Chris Ryall has updated his blog with an image and a bit of information for the upcoming Transformers Spotlight Metroplex comic.
The preview image contain one frame which spans two pages.

TakaraTomy have updated their website with the a page for Transformers Henkei Sunstreaker, part four of the Transformers Henkei comic, a character page for Transformers Encore 12 Metroplex, a new wallpaper and finally, a character page for Generation One Prowl.

The 127th issue of Figure King magazine was released today in Japan and includes article on Transformers Encore Metroplex, the Suntory Limited coffee boss campaign figures, Transformers Henkei Prowl, Sunstreaker and Galvatron, the heavily delayed Binaltech Convoy, Alternity Convoy, Transformers Crossovers and an article on the TransformArt exhibitions.
The article on Encore Metroplex covers the history of the character including pictures from Scramble City and the G1 cartoon, as well as highlighting the mould difference on the tank turrent (Slammer). The article also confirms, once again, that the toy will be the chromed legged rubber wheeled version.
The Suntory Limited coffee boss campaign figures, which we first reported on the 18th August, are highly cartoon accurate non-transforming figures, think back to the SCF toys, and like those have chase figures, the chrome toys, of which the parts will be spread over a few cans.
Images are published in the issue of the Transformers Henkei Prowl and Sunstreaker figures. The images are of the Japanese versions and not the US figures. The toys are due out in October, and the magazine announces that Galvatron will be the next Transformers Henkei toy released after these toys, with a picture of his head being published.
This issue of Figure King states that the much delayed Binaltech Convoy figure will finally be released in Japan on the 2nd October 2008. Previously the figure had been reported as being released at the end of September via he TakaraTomy Generation One website.
The article on the Alternity GT-R figure publishes the prototype image which was recently seen on the internet. It also states that the automatic transformation system has been dubbed "Synchronized Tec" in a similar way to the "Automorph Technology" Hasbro use on the Transformers Movie toys. No information was published concerning the name of the character, the retail price or the release date.
Credit goes to Snakas for the original report.

As 2007 draws to a close, we've added an additional 12 Transformers toy galleries to Transformers At The Moon, taking us to an incredible 1975 Transformers toys featured within the toy gallery section of the site.
The new additions are from the Transformers Myclone toyline and consist of :-

After speaking to the manufactures of the knock-off Binaltech and recently announced Metroplex knock-off we can bring you the first actual images of the KO Metroplex toy (a testshot of the figure) as well as the first image of the packaging. Previously all images were of the Hasbro release.
In even bigger news, they have confirmed to us that they are already planning a Metrotitan remake! There is no word as to whether the KO will come with Metrobomb and extra ramp, or whether it will be a straight re-colour of the Metroplex figure. This news will no doubt be extremely popular amongst many collectors, however it will equally annoy those who may already own the figure, as Metrotitan is one of the harder pieces to find. The KO Metroplex is due for release at the end of the month.
Don't forget that you can view images of the both the original Metroplex and Metrotitan figures in our Toy Gallery section along with another 1,929 other Transformers figures.

Ages 3 and Up report over at TFW2005, that there is a knock-off Metroplex in the pipeline from a company new to making Transformers fakes.
"As many know, competition in China is fierce for KO companies and to compete against eachother is commonplace. I have receintly been contacted by a different company than the first who is also doing KOs of G1 figures. Their first release - METROPLEX! I am told this is done is high quality and will come in a G1 style of box with styrofoam insert, instructions, catalogue and sticker sheets. I don't know what they will have for copyrites, this will be found out when they come in stock. The retail on this figure will be $124.99 US which I find is much more reasonable than $80 for a Dinobot considering the size and complexity of the figure. (a good portion of the cost is in the shipping as well)"
Don't forget that you can view galleries of the real deal Metroplex here at Transformers At The Moon, as well as the Japanese exclusive Destron recolour Metrotitan
Yes, our German friends, the headline is not a deception, but Transformers: Cybertron Metroplex has actually been released in Germany, one of the more Transformers starved larger European nations. You can read the report with photographic evidence over at fellow Trans-Europe Express member site, The Transformers.de.
