Cybertron Metroplex transforms into a Gigantion bucket-wheel excavator. In this mode, his bucket-wheel/shovel assembly is on a rotator and contains numerous ratchet-joints, plus the wheel can spin, though it does not do so freely. This assembly becomes Metroplex’s colossal axe "Sparkdrinker” in robot mode, plus has a spot on the shovel to attach his pack-in Mini-Con partner Drill Bit (or any other Mini-Con) in his vehicle mode. Plugging a Cyber Key into the Key jack on Sparkdrinker opens up the wheel to form the axe-head, plus activates an electronic light. Due to him having a similar hand design to Optimus Prime, he can use Optimus’s rifle, while Optimus can use his giant Sparkdrinker weapon. The latter is the most often seen in the actual cartoon.Like his fellow Gigantions Quickmix and Menasor, Metroplex has two different robot modes: a full-sized standard mode and a shorter, sturdier, and more ignorable "work” mode. Like them he is also kitted out with many Mini-Con attachment hardpoints, fourteen in all.The Takara "Megalo Convoy” version (the final toy released in the regular-retail Galaxy Force line, which was cut short) features some very bright blue paint applications on his shoulders and lower legs where the Hasbro version has dark blue paint. Additionally, he features more dark blue paint on the caterpillar tracks on his feet. Megalo Convoy also came packed with a metallic painted version of Legends Class Optimus Prime, to show off the "real" scale between the two. The Korean Mocom Toy release replaces this with the standard Hasbro Legends Class Optimus Prime.
