ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

Forget HotRod look at dat Megatron!

The only way Takara could make a better one is if they could get it to look like Ultimetal Megatron in robot mode which is virtually impossible on a toy that has to transform.

Good point that UM Megatron is almost perfect,I hope they tweak the face tho. I plan on ordering it and will use it as a stand alone piece ,wasnt feelin the Optimus so I passed. Cant wait for this Megatron its coming along great so far and supposedly test samples are in the process of being sent to reviewers. Getting close guys.

Original looks a whole lot more like the animation model to me. And better, you can't know that until people have it in hand. Looking at this it's just as fiddly as the MP one. Only thing it will probably lack is the QC issues that plagued the first production run. Other than that, still don't see a point to this, aside maybe for people who missed out on the MP.

I was referring to Takara not being able to make a better Megatron.

The official Rodimus is one of my least favorite Masterpieces but it pisses on this new one.

EDIT
As Silent Bob mentioned earlier the thing in Appolyon's chest is the Heart of Cybertron. Here's how it looked in the cartoon,



More Appolyon's,

That Megatron is my most anticipated figure..... hope to have a few on the earlier side!

Here's the email from RK. Of course I decided to keep my order!!! Hopefully I can pick up the coin off ebay if they somehow "disappear" from whatever warehouse is storing them now

 

[Furyan]

Unicron looks good doesnt he come apart somehow?

you have to fit the horns in which are a ***** without softening the holes first. I used a hair dryer. Comes with a base and switchable eye screens. Looks really cool in hand. The details underneath are impressive too.

 

[Furyan]

Love that they included the busted out eyes,nice pickup!

 

[thecorsair]

My Unicron head arrived.

Very cool. Congrats on the pickup!

EDIT
e-Hobby pics of Tracks and extras,



The robot mode looks like a half finished custom with all that grey on it.

 

[dedguy]

Do you have any scale pics of the head with MP or Classics style figures?

 

[karamazov80]

Is he smiling?

 

[dedguy]

The color choices are kinda odd. You'd think if they wanted to make a color metallic it would be the grey not blue.

 

[thecorsair]

Is he smiling?

Looks like it.

dedguy,
If they'd made the grey metallic it would have helped as it wouldn't look so unfinished.

 

[karamazov80]

I don't like the idea of a smiling sculpt only, but it could be lighting and angle. Bumblebee's faces look much better in-hand than they did in pics IMO.

He is up for pre-order on HLJ for about $50 with current currency rates. He's $80 at BBTS. So, I'll get two for about $115 shipped.

Got Dayum! $100+ for an MP carbot!? 3rd parties are straight raping wallets. $70 for Takaras is a bit too much but this is just a rip off.
