The only three things I am complaining about MP5:
Quality Control; Quality Control; Quality Control.

I disagree. Megs is a hard design to translate into an accurate toy, but A) there's a challenge and B) MP would not be a MP if it weren't perfect to look at

I see it's a challenge, but to me, it seems they failed that challenge the first go around. I think it's time for a different approach. Make Megatron look like Megatron, the challenged should then be to give him an alt mode that doesn't disappoint. Be it tank, gun, or what have you. I don't think either mode should be sacrificed, but I do think robot mode should be priority.

The only issues I've had the MP Megatron are the huge cannon he can't hold, and the tiny tabs that break waaaaaaaay too easily. The overall look of it I don't have a problem with. If they make a new one all they really need to do is make it more durable.

Edit* And fix the bal joints on his hips and shoulders. I can touch the figure without them popping off. I always end up taking them off when I transform it and reattach them when I'm done.

Beef it up. It feels and pretty much is too fragile. It's a great display piece for me, but I've never even transformed it. And I probably won't.

I see that a lot of us are expecting that since Takara/Hasbro indicated they would do a new Megs, that he will be a gun again.

I really hope that is the case. I have MP05 and I love it. Sure its not perfect, but its a damn nice MP. If they do a new MP Megs as a gun again, they could make some improvements to the transformation and make some parts a little sturdier.

I am thinking that Takara/Hasbro may actually make the new MP Megs as G2 tank. Easier to scale, and design transformation. Plus as GREAT as he was as a Gun, he was pretty damn cool as a Tank.

I'd be down for that. Obvious purple repaint aside, Hasbro would be all over it! They'd have that out to every TRU in the western hemisphere (except Quebec evidently) within 6 months!

Hell, they could even do Reverse Convoy!

A tank Megatron would make me squeel like a little girl.

I think they want to concentrate on G1 before moving on to G2. Megs will probably still be a gun.

MP-05 seems to have been designed never to be transformed. :HEADHURTS:

Based on all your horror stories, I still haven't transformed him. :shock:

Given that he is an iconic counterbalance to Optimus, smart money is that Tomy will make one. I wonder if they'll give him thicker eyebrows this time? Or better yet, a port for the "Heart of Cybertron" and a hidden panel on his foot where he hid the energon saber he used to slash Optimus in the 1986 movie.

I was going to suggest basing the design on legends Megatron but that works as well.
