They are intended to be silly references to the figures they are mode to go with.

I bet Shot Piece is a reference to Shit Piece from that Return of Optimus Prime spoof by DrSmoov.

Durrrrr...

I'm sorry, do you have something to say on the matter, troll?

Explaining the joke doesn't make it funny. Plus someone already said this in a not-so-obvious way earlier.

So if anyone is wanting a Mega-Gun… complete and repackaged?

Is that the Targetroid Megs your referring to or that other 3rd party and it looked like a small version of Megatron and was available in two different colors...I think. I didn't like the Targetroids but I've been wondering about the other 3rd party fig, I never saw the release.

It would be the others you are thinking of, not the Targetroids. They were released, but you may have missed it due to them being exclusive to Captured Prey. The link is here: http://www.capturedprey.com/store/maste ... king_2pack

Well that seems about right. After months searching ebay and spending up to £100 on Targetmasters and Minicons from here, there and everywhere in preperation for some custom paint work; NOW a 3rd party company gets round to making these. Typical.

The robot modes look pretty good with the extra articulation, but the weapon modes are little too G1 accurate for my likings, i.e. fugly.

It's always that way. I bought the Shapeways guys who are pretty darn good, but you have to paint them. The Shapeways are way better detailed, but the molded color is really the best.

Shot Piece >>> Shit Piece >>> Kup XD

The Mega-Gun

Their bio's on the back of their package are hilarious.

You think I'm retarded because I missed someone else already posting the same thing. I get it. It wasn't funny.

Though I appreciate that you said what you just did and didn't make another snide remark.

As long as these aren't 60 bucks a piece, i'll get'em.......

This. In fact the two Megatron figures where about 35$+shipping, and they both looked raw and unfinished.
As I am living in Europe, I might go for the Shapeways route: the Drawn-steel hero designs look amazing. I'm a bit concerned about possible rub issues on the painted ball joints, though...

I'm holding Mega-Gun right now, as well as some parts I had printed on Shapeways. How can you compare the two and call MasterShooter's product raw and unfinished? It's smooth ABS plastic verses whatever that rough stuff Shapeways prints with. He is blocky, but then so was G1 Megatron in the cartoon. How is he "raw and unfinished"?[/quote]

You are right, sorry, it was a poor choice of words. By the way I was referring to the design, not to the material. Sure Mega Gun - which I know just from Peaugh's review - is casted in high quality plastic, better than Shapeways' nylon - or whatever that stuff is. Yet the design and the paint aps don't really work for me, I find them too simplicistic.
So I'd rather print the Drawn-Steel-Hero's ones and paint them myself, but it's just my opinion of course.
