Oh and look at this: Legacy Titan class Cybertron Metroplex was among the winners of two different categories in Seibertron.com's 2022 Year End Review. Once in "Transformers Toy of the Year" and again in "Favorite Legacy Toy".
And he was picked by a different person in each category, so it isn't just the same guy shilling the same toy.
And yet another person in the comments gave Metroplex an honorable mention for both categories.
Ergo, people really do like that toy. Go figure.

NOTROPLEX THO.
From the comments above, it seems most people who like red wheels have liked ones with a mixture of red and (black), rather than the KO-styled, fully red ones on the toy. I think the common ground is that, regardless of whether any of us like red wheels or not, it could have been done so much better. It's similar to Hasblo's attempt at "cr@pple-damage" with Siege; good in theory but weak in execution.
Yes, you seem to like the figure. We get that. However, I would hardly call a few people at Seibertron.com the authoritative voice upon the matter. Many of their "Best of" lists are indeed just the opinions of a few of their staff, from what I've read there. Although this proves nothing either way, Notroplex didn't even get a mention, as far as I could tell, in a similar article at another site:

However, as many people have already stated about this topic:

Legacy Metroplex isn't a bad figure, thou its mostly a upscale of the original Cybertron figure with a few changes made to it, my copy currently stands behind my TV peering over with this weapon on his back, its definely better than the Ark in robot mode, honestly with the Ark, I just left that in ship mode with the upgrades I bought for that mode attached
Legends scale is shaping up nicely. If the combiner looks good, I would love to get an upscaled KO of the rumoured Dinoforce/Monstructor version/s.
PvP's Slug review had the torso mode (with Sludge) combined with parts from the deluxe Junkions, and it worked shockingly well.
Oh that stopped right after Trypticon.
They look a little small on him so I'm guessing Volcanicus will be in the mid-small voyager range.
The "so mad" of this involves a couple of sentences on an internet message board. It's not like anyone is protesting outside Hasbro headquarters. It is unlikely that even the richest of us have spent more time complaining about this than Hasbro expects us to work at a job to earn sufficient revenue to pay for it.
Hasbro would be much madder if the money I tried to pay them for the toy was the wrong colours as it was cheaper for me to do.
People are perfectly entitled to say something isn't very good due to Hasbro's rampant cost cutting, which is (according to Hasbro's own public financial statements) in an attempt to improve their margins.

Red tires/black hubcaps or black tires/red hubcaps would go a long way to make it look like an intentional choice rather than a comically absurd result of gangmolding.
If I get Costcut, I will probably add some custom paint to bring it back to it's proper colours. It won't look half-bad then. I'm sure Toyhax will release something similar (plus oodles of unnecessary gumf to mummify it to justify their asking price).
He could put up a fight against Monstructor...
