Pipes carried out the task with all due haste, and Metroplex promptly transformed to robot mode, thrashed Trypticon, and hurled him into the ocean. At the height of the battle, Blurr and Wheelie were safely brought to Earth by Sky Lynx, and quickly handed the transforming cog off to Pipes to install. Metroplex was again manually transformed to battle station mode by his inhabitants in hopes of mounting some form of a defence, but things were not looking hopeful. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1 While they were busy suffering numerous setbacks (including nearly getting killed by Galvatron and being stranded on Jupiter's moon Io), the immobile Metroplex was attacked by the Decepticons' new mobile battle station, Trypticon, who had been created expressly to serve as Metroplex's opposite number.

Blaster on Metroplex, ' Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5' The extent of that territory varies sometimes Metroplex is an independent base, and other times he's part of (or all of) Autobot City, aka Scramble City. He has three 'normal'-sized components: Six-Gun, Slammer, and Scamper, to help patrol and defend his territory. Metroplex's long-standing nemesis is the equally-gargantuan Decepticon, Trypticon. This Titan's great modesty about his power and achievements together with a boundless patience necessitated by his size and alternate mode are apparent to anyone who pierces his normally less than talkative demeanor, and in the optics of many, these traits only raise his already high standing. It’s a self-deprecating attitude that stuns many of his fellow Autobots, most of whom take immeasurable comfort in his very existence and the knowledge that regardless of what evil comes, Metroplex is out there to back them up. Despite all this he’s wracked to the core of his being with the belief that he could and should be doing more. Strong beyond belief, versatile, clever, brave and self-sacrificing, Metroplex is willing to give everything he has to the Autobot cause and defend it to his last astroseconds of life. Yes, he's a gigantic, towering warrior, capable of channeling awesome energies.

Sure, he's the Autobots' ultimate weapon, their greatest and final defense. Metroplex’s poor, slow, and infrequent efforts to support his brave comrades and forward the Autobot cause are never enough.
