ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

[thecorsair]

Lol i hear you friend! There is so much right with this figure that its easy to overlook any flaws imo. Fingers crossed we can get a solid figure with minimal or no QC issues. Even then I doubt ill be transforming him into pistol mode but for a few times,which should limit the chance of me breaking something. Will be the perfect stand in until Takara moves their *****.

So far the only flaw is that the gun mode doesn't look quite as realistic as it perhaps could but the designer said that this was a requirement in order to get the robot mode looking as good as possible which is a fair tradeoff IMO.

I hope it's sturdy enough to get to gun and back at least once, I never managed that when I owned MP05 as it felt so fragile I abandoned ship in the early stages.

Has there been pics of Him in gun mode?

They are not including the gun attachments on him, are they?

Here ya go, this is a fairly early prototype.

 

[thecorsair]

Another prototype shot,


The figure comes with,

Vector Sigma activation key
Clone Control Helmet
Energy Sword
Mace & chain
Pistol
Gun stock & silencer

All those extras and and an amazing looking figure for £100.

Providing there's no mishaps with the build quality it looks like being a new benchmark for 3rd party figures which in turn should force the others to raise their game.

 

[franpincho]

Never knew it came with the attachments, what a pleasant surprise.

Thanks guys.

 

[dedguy]

Yeah if you just look at value for what it is, it's a really good deal. Better deal than MPs are for me in the US.

The QC is going to be crucial for X- Transbots. If this figure turns out to be another Qwakewave, then we'll have a VERY serious contender for 3p supremacy. Like many said, it's mother****ing Megatron.

Do you guys know where i can get apollyon for less than $150? I know that bbts jacks up their prices a little so im wondering if theres any other website that has him for less?

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I haven't seen him for less than $150 but haven't checked that many places yet either. I know he's that price at BBTS and TFSource.

Please be a solid figure-please be a solid figure-please be a solid figure

I'm probably the only guy on the planet who thinks it looks off. Something about the proportions and detailing...

Yeah the lower part of the legs looks slightly bulky and the arm cannon is a little too big but other than that i think he looks amazing and im not sure if we'll ever get any other mp scale megatron that looks this good anytime soon since tt seems to keep putting him off

 

[bicoid18]

I'm also hoping that Apollyon turns out to be a quality figure.

Ben has his review up for MP-24 Starsaber!

Nice find cosair. Seems they didnt lower his legs/ankle part for the shots as they are a bit higher than normal. Compared to the MP line he is not as streamlined in appearance which has gotta be hard to do but he's still the best representation of G1 Megatron to date,bring him on!

All we need is a decal on that... who is the best person to provide those for that 3rd p. Megs? Do they provide varying sizes... we need to get this ball rollin' on the decals.

I just purchased some of these and some Autobot ones as well. Was recommended over at TFW2005.

Considering we haven't seen what the different symbols look like on him yet, it looks like you get a bit more variety in the size of the symbols here:

Unless you need that huge one.
