Optitron, is your avatar icon a screencap from Animated?

I missed out on Classics Megatron the first time around but I just don't think I like Classics enough to get this. I'd rather get more animated figures.

That's definitely a good idea, LOL. But, I like this one enough to have it be, pretty much, my last Classics figure for now (Unless Takara releases Astrtrain in Purple and Grey!)

My own experiences with Takara's subpar workmanship.

Binaltech paint jobs look really good. But very delicate. Scratches easily. Flakes off too easily. Some parts of Battle Ravage rubs off, revealing a grey-like primer or metal.

Most of my movie toys are Hasbro. Except one, Longarm, which is Takara. He is the only with loose joints, one arm not even attached, but he's got nice paintings.

He looks a whole lot better than Hasbro's green, purple, orange, and white version.

Am I the only one who didn't buy him from Hasbro on the first release?

No, I know a few others who were/are holding out for Takara.

I didn't buy because I wasn't in the market at the time but I think I'm gonna get Earth Mode Megs from animated instead.

Oh, I'm getting both versions of Animated Megatron...my only issue right now is whether or not to cancel my preorder for this Megatron, seeing as he's expensive and, frankly, not as awesome as AniMegs...but I want him because I've never owned a Gun Megatron before. Neither G1, nor reissue, nor Hasbro Classics...and, I think the Takara version looks better than the Hasbro clown version...
