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.

More powerful than even the strongest combiner and capable of bringing an entire army's worth of firepower to bear, Titans are living arsenals of exotic weapons and arcane technologies that outmatch a score of lesser Cybertronians.

Twin Cast features ports in his feet that allow him to peg onto various spots on Blaster's robot, boombox, and base modes, as well as many other Titans Return figures.
