I received my order from BBTS yesterday and wanted to share some observations on the Legends RTS figures.

The first thing I noticed was the paint on Megs and Starscream. I got the black head on Starscream (woot!) and Megs comes with an orange gun tip. Apparently, he can be mistaken for a real 0.0025 caliber gun in a dark alley... :???:

Then I had some fun putting the legends on Metroplex. Enjoy!

And I included some of my other Legends too in one last pic of Metroplex. The legends are perfect for such a playset!

When I was transforming Megatron I noticed something...

Mine came with two right legs. This means that the gun transformation isn't clean. If anybody out there gets a Megs with two left legs, PM me and We'll swap!

I hope this isn't a widespread problem.

I have Legends Prime, Megs and Scream coming my way, so I'm stoked

My Starscream has a painted head as well, probably a running change made for wave 2 with Prowl and Trailbreaker.

Awesome! I have mine as loot at bbts. Do you happen to have a unicron to hold meg? Im curious about the size comparison.

As for Megatron's two right legs, tell BBTS that yours has that defect, and they'll send you a replacement or offer you store credit. They're really good about that stuff.

"Say 'allo' to my leeeetle friend!!!"

And since I was trying out Unicron, I thought I'd try some others...

MP Optimus and Skywarp have hands that are just too small.

In the last pic there you can really see the size difference between the MP weapon and Legends Megs. (Interesting note. That OP Megs gun's arm bracket broke immediately after the pic. Dern brittle plastic on the Hasbro version of MP OP. :evil:

)

How about FP Bruticus, I bet you're thinking. This requires a bit of creativity and a slight mistransforming of Megs.

I had to be creative with attaching Megs so he would stay put. The next time I get some of those clear bands in a Transformer, I think I'll keep Megs on Bruticus on my shelf. I think it looks neat. Oh, the modification is I had to swing one of Megatron's legs back. Bruticus's hands are not big enough otherwise.

So, since I might keep a Megs on Bruticus, I don't think I'll return this one to BBTS. I'm such a push-over. When he hits the shelves I'll see if I can find one with two proper legs. I hope this satisfies curiosity. Sorry about the delay. Man's gotta work to keep up his transforming crack habit...

You don't have to send anything back to BBTS. They'll actually just mail you a Megatron left leg if you e-mail them about it. That's what they did for my Generations Thrust. I sent them a pic with a problem, they asked which toy I need a leg for, and the next day they dropped a leg in the mail for me. Problem solved!

This is one of many reasons why BBTS absolutely rules. Customer service is king!

That is awesome, looks like he is just the perfect size for unicron. Thanks alot for the pics! im hoping that a third party company will make the add ons for megs which would make it perfect.
