As manuals go it's nicely laid out and the transformation looks pretty in keeping with most Masterpieces, not too complex , but not too simplistic either.
Re: the Megatron debate,
Obviously he's one of several toys that can never work 100% properly unless mass shifting technology is invented and made available to Takara.
Other characters that don't work for similar reasons include Triple Changers, Soundwave and Reflector.
Shockwave was meant to be a giant space cannon so he got away with it.
Until Hegemon came along I was of the opinion that a second Masterpiece should have been something like that Ultimetal figure, the transformation wasn't a requirement. Hegemon proved a really good G1 Megatron robot mode can be achieved albeit with some compromise made to the gun mode and that was made by a small company without a license.
With the design team Takara have they should be able to do something that's at least as good and probably even better.
