That's a good question. Maybe as it gets closer we will get more info. Not a deal breaker for me, the outside of his legs already have a surprisingly "pistol grip" texture to them.Tsutsukakushi wrote:Noticed the DX9, black lower legs covers are not listed for sale in this pic or any of the pre order listings from sites.
Are the lower legs covers part of this kit or another kit?
I'm not too worried about it, I saved a bunch when I bought him (had a $40 TRU reward) so this brings me back to evenshajaki wrote:I'm surprised. When people usually cry "pricetag!" so far no complaints. I'm a little taken aback by adding $40+ USD to my already $60 CAD Megatron. Even if my paycheques were better, I think the cost of this set would leave a bad taste in my mouth.
I mean, am I whining or is this warranted? I can't tell

I'm glad the parts translate into something on the alt mode. I wonder if the top boots have any mounting points for the guns that come with Megatron, that would make it a pretty serious mobile assault tank!shajaki wrote:LACKLUSTER'D

Agreed, but alt mode integration is not a requirement for these for me.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Delta Magnus wrote:Yes, but at the expense of partsforming and a hideously ugly mass of parts cluttering up the otherwise-excellent tank mode if you don't put 25% of the figure to one side in vehicle mode. CW Megatron looks G1 enough as it is anyway, and the only reason I probably won't get him is his size. Even then I might get him as a standalone figure, or to pair with one of the really good Leader OPs (like Cybertron Optimus, ROTF Leader Optimus etc...).

DM's not alone, there's a large part of the fandom that hate parts-forming.Rated X wrote:But I gotta ask, why the one-man crusade against partsforming?
Delta Magnus wrote:This is no longer the 80s. Toy engineering has marched on. Partsforming is a lazy cop-out for toy designers who can't be bothered to engineer something to transform properly. To a minor degree it's acceptable (with weapons, accessories etc, so long as they store in both modes) but with parts of the actual robot (like the feet)? Nope. That's just lazy and incredibly lame.
As for the "MEGATRON SHOULD BE A GUN NOT A TANK" argument, Megatron being a pistol was incredibly stupid back then and it's incredibly stupid now. A tank is just better, period.

That holds VERY true to the likes of FP's Motormaster/Menasor.Rated X wrote:If you ever decide to take the plunge into current 3rd party offerings, you would see they are a lot more cumbersome and that takes the fun out of transforming them.
I honestly don't know how to respond to this.Rated X wrote:The feeling you get from pointing that gun at some unsuspecting person and scaring the living crap out of them was priceless.
