![]() ![]() Nobody really noticed, though, and the subject didn't come up again until Metrotitan returned in the build-up to the 2016 Titans Return event, and his name being different to that of the species was clearly reiterated. Originally, author James Roberts described them as "Metrotitans", repurposing the name of the Zone Decepticon, but this was abandoned almost immediately: in the 2012 Robots in Disguise annual, released the same month, the species were called only "Titans", and the single Titan involved in the story was referred to as "The Metrotitan" soon after, Robots in Disguise #11 dropped the "The" when referring to him, using the word as an individual's name. This depiction of Metroplex would go on to inform the original IDW continuity, and the 2012 More than Meets the Eye annual applied this concept to an entire "species" of gigantic, city-sized Transformers. ![]() Two years later, Fall of Cybertron would similarly reintroduce Metroplex, depicting him as an ancient Transformer from a bygone era of the planet's history. Though a number of Japanese-exclusive stories and toys would introduce other cityformers into the mix, redecoing Metroplex and Fortress Maximus into new characters like Metrotitan and Brave Maximus, the concept gradually fell by the wayside until 2010, when the Aligned continuity family brought a new version of Trypticon back into the fore as one of the final bosses of the War for Cybertron video game. The Fall of Cybertron video game established many of the traits that would find their way into the Titans of the IDW continuity.
