Anti-matter projector
From MediaWiki
The almighty Autobot behemoth Metroplex is armed with a multitude of weapons—ion-pulse rifles, laser lances, disruptor rays, and maser cannons, amongst others—but the most powerful of all are his anti-matter projectors.
Fiction
Marvel The Transformers comics
In Battle Station mode, Metroplex could deploy the most powerful of his weapons: two front-mounted anti-matter projectors which fired minute packets of anti-matter that destroyed everything they hit. Metroplex's Universe profile

Notes
- Although Metroplex's packaging bio mentions his anti-matter projectors, his instructions are maddeningly vague as to which of his many weapons are which, generically labelling them as "accessory cannons".
- Metroplex's Marvel Universe profile describes his anti-matter projectors in more detail which helps to identify them: they are "front-mounted" position in Battle Station mode; they fire "packets of anti-matter"; and they are "the most powerful of all his weapons". Given that they were the largest weapons included with Metroplex's toy, they had a missile-firing gimmick, and that they went on the front of his Battle Station mode, it seems safe to identify Metroplex's big red guns as anti-matter projectors.
- Dreamwave's More than Meets the Eye profile for Metroplex does not mention his anti-matter projectors, despite them being prominently featured in his profile art.
