I don't have a slightest idea why the heck is classics megatron so colorful.
I mean, cybertron megatron's colours scheme was already an abomination, but the classic one just blows.
Takara knows how to do a good repaint.
This not badass. It's so BAD, it's ASS!

I honestly doubt importing will be a problem. The "red" on him looks more like safety orange to me, & with it having some on the end of the revolver part, which honestly is the closest thing to a barrel that thing has, I don't think it's gonna matter that the little plug on the end isn't orange.

Not only that, there was a different problem with G1 & MP Megs that this one dosen't.....they were designed after a real gun, where this one obviously isn't. Like I said before, Nerf N-strike Maverick. I don't forsee any problems with importing this guy.

I think I can speak for good number of people when saying hope this is some test shot, and not the final version.

If it is then I think I'm just going to repaint the classics Megs that i have.

Will you guys stop complaining about Hasbro's version not being as good, I mean with the new toy laws they did all they could to get a gun Megs out so stop dissin' Hasbro ust because Japan dosen't have a toy law, I mean at least Classics Megs has a better paint job than Cybertron Megs
Want List:Armada Skywarp, Cybertron Thunderblast, Energon Dreadwing or Mirage.

NEVER!

I thought Hasbro's Classics Megatron was distinctive, well designed
and strongly evocative of the original character. However, I could have done without the wings (though at the same time I doubt I could have designed a version without them that didn't have a horrible looking robot mode) and the trigger guard was a bit small. Yeah, yeah, ages five and up...

Anyway, this new version is fine too. I wouldn't import it since I already have the mould, but it's rather funky. I see why people are saying "too much red"- I think it needs the red quite badly to overcome an otherwise bland colour scheme, but I wouldn't have put so much in the places Takara did.
