The '''Agegea''' is one of the four ancient starships sent off from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to explore the galaxy and create a massive [[Space Bridge]] network. Its crew eventually landed on the world that became known as [[Velocitron|Velocitron the Speed Planet]].

''Japanese name:'' '''Mu'''

* [[Brakedown (Cybertron)|Brakedown]]
* [[Quickmix (Cybertron)|Quickmix]]
* [[Stripmine]]

==Trivia==
* According to story editor [[David McDermott]] at [[BotCon 2006]], the producers of the ''Cybertron'' cartoon decided that the name "Mu" could not be taken seriously by an English-speaking audience, as it sounded like "moo", the sound a cow makes. They thus looked up mythical lands on Wikipedia, and thought "Agegea" sounded suitably impressive, so used it instead.

:''Metroplex is an [[Autobot]] from [[Gigantion]] in the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

Metroplex is the head foreman of the transformers on Gigantion. While he is a calm, quiet and intelligent being, like all Gigantions he is immense in size and strength. He is tasked with forever building cities on his homeworld, and then immediately abandoning them as a way to forever look to their peaceful future and avoid the past, which was wartorn and violent. His [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Drill Bit (Cybertron)|Drill Bit]].

:''Japanese name:'' '''Megalo Convoy'''

==Fiction==
===Cybertron cartoon===

When the Autobots first appeared on Gigantion, Metroplex was at first wary of them, believing the group to be from the mysterious Planet X. As this was clearly not the case, he and his subordinate [[Quickmix_(Cybertron)|Quickmix]] agreed to hear out the newcomers. Optimus Prime and Vector Prime explained that they needed to find the Gigantion Cyber Planet Key in order to save their own [[Cybertron_(planet)|homeworld]], and that they believe the clues may be hidden in the older cities on Gigantion. At first Metroplex and Quickmix refused to let them into the cities, as it was one of their sacred laws to never enter a city they had previously built.

Metroplex would soon encounter [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] and beat him into submission, destroying [[Nemesis Breaker]] in the process, and eventually triggering his upgrade into Galvatron. Galvatron would encounter him again, quickly defeating the lumbering giant.

Metroplex continued to aid the Autobots, including being a crew member on the new space bridge project.

==Toys==
===Cybertron===
[[Image:Cyb_Metroplex_toy.jpg|right|thumb|200px|This is what happens when the design team spend too much time on designing a 'cool' robot mode, apparently.]]
*'''Metroplex''' (Leader-Class, 2005)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''GC-23'''

: Metroplex transforms into a Cybertronic 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 Drill Bit in his vehicle mode. Plugging a [[Cyber Planet Key]] into the Key jack on Sparkdrinker opens up the wheel to form the axe-head, plus activates an electronic light.

[[Image:CybMetro-WorkMode.jpg|left|thumb|100px|Yeah, but ''I've'' been drinking milk!]]

: Like his fellow Gigantions [[Quickmix (Cybertron)|Quickmix]] and [[Menasor (Cybertron)|Menasor]], Metroplex has two different robot modes, their full-sized standard mode, and a shorter, sturdier "work" mode.

: He comes with his Mini-Con partner Drill Bit, and a gold-bordered Gigantion-style Cyber Planet Key. The [[Hasbro]] version has the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] "'''lm74'''" on the back of the Cyber Planet Key.

*'''Megalo Convoy gold edition'''

: A solid-gold-chromed version of Metroplex was given away as a contest prize in Japan. Limited to 15 pieces, it was available in a Japanese toy magazine (which one is unknown at the time).

==Trivia==
* Metroplex's "work" robot mode is not shown in the Japanese release's instructions. It is also only briefly glimpsed in the cartoon, as part of his stock-footage "vehicle to robot" transformation sequence. Also, several times in the show where Metroplex was depicted in a smaller environment, he was in his "work" mode without explanation or transformation shown.
