Behind the Scenes
Yep, Duplaflex... hey I was 14, can you blame for a dumb-ass name?
I never understood why Metroplex has only ramp and I was very much a fan of symmetry at the time. So Duplaflex basically got two ramps. I also felt like the cities really needed to be like huge! Remember two that Zapbot fortresses not only had levels that had to accommodate Gesalts (and large robots like Slipstream) but you had human levels interwoven between these. So pictures TNG Enterprise with in-between decks for trolls.
