The Japanese version of Transmetal Megatron, D-40 Metals Megatron, uses a different plastic that eliminates the waist snapping problem.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for Arms Microns, especially Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

Actually, it doesn't. Both versions are equally prone to breakage.

I for one love this idea. I don't know if I'd rather see him painted up just purple, or see him brown and purple like him Transmetals figure though. Either way, this is a great offering from Hasbro to us that feel BW goes completely unnoticed lately. Plus, when the Dinobot DLC came out for FoC, first thing I did was attempt to make BW Megatron, and now I can have him in figure form.

I was thinking the other day how they could remold a lot of Grimlock figured into a pretty decent BW Megatron homage, so I hope this is true.

Yeah, stop trying to capitalize on your expensive investments, Hasbro! Gosh!

Man, I'm.....kinda on the fence about this. Beast Wars Megatron was my very first Transformer, but....he's fine. I don't need a new version of him. But I kinda want him anyway. Damn choices!

while I'm all for a)Beast Wars Classics and b)fully robotic beast modes and even quite keen on a melding of the two, ala Cybertron Megatron and Optimus Primal, this doesn't work for me. I'm not keen on the head sculpt to begin with, and Megatron doesn't really look right without one of his hands made moot by having to wield half of his beast-mode kibble in it. I'd have much rather had no remolding and a simple repaint into G2 Grimlock, or an homage to the lava Grimlock from animated. They could have even called the red on T-Wrecks (sure he was a BW Meg repaint, but he was far from prominent in fiction, so I could live with such a big departure in design.

Silly that I'm asking for kibble weapons here, but it makes sense for Megatron. Still, it it looks nice enough in the final product I'm not ruling out my being swayed by it.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Prowl, Astrotrain, Ramjet, Skywarp, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Blurr, Perceptor, GDO Wheelie and Springer, or 3rd Party Motobot Arcee, FP Springer, iGear Ratchet and Ironhide, City Commander (and/or Ultra Magnus), Starscream (deluxe) Coronation add-on, or Spike and Daniel in their Exo-Suits.

I'm all for Beast Era characters, but I'm just not feeling this. It's just too Grimlock and not enough Megatron.

Hasbro, if you're going to give us a new BW Megatron, give us the red version of the RID Megs that you bastards cancelled once FunPub took over Botcon. Not this.
