Just picked up MP Megatron at a local toy shop MIB. Does anyone have MP Megatron and does anyone have any major complaints i.e. does it break easily, loose joints, etc.?

Haven't opened it yet and not sure that I will. What do you all think?

He has some great things and some not so great thing about him.

Great- As an MP to display, he looks fantastic. Tall, mean-looking, cartoon-accurate. The gun mode is very detailed. His joints are very tight.

Not so great- He is a pain to transform. Tight joints combined with intricate movement of parts and how they all fit together makes for a long project. His metal feet also tend to discolor. Mine have turned the color of rust.

I opened mine, transformed him once, and put him on display in bot mode. He looks great next to the other MP's.

what SJ21 said. Menacing, but a pain to pose.

Apply clear lacquer to his feet and that should prevent them from rusting away. Do it now. Don't wait.

Why are you still reading my comment? Go and get the lacquer and do it now.

I have it and like it. Also picked up the accessories made by Justitoys (I believe) and am very happy with how it adds to the gun mode (and the cannon mode is great too).

But beware: be careful when you transform him. The shoulder and the tabs on the handle of the gun (that hook into the chest) have been known to break if you apply too much pressure. Also there are tabs on the legs that I worry will break if I'm not too careful.

But I've transformed him quite a few times and haven't broken mine. Also note: the feet don't really rust; they tarnish. By now yours might very well be tarnished in the box; it's a flaw with all the figures.

Yeah, MP prices for brittle plastic and rusting parts.

And.....the Sightscope/Arm Cannon is way to big even at this scale - It makes even standing him with the canon attached a lopsided pain and will overbalance his rusting little feet in time.

Keep him in MP mode. Use the G1 version as the "gun mode". Save you a whole bunch of trouble.

Yeah, this is what I did. He looks great... but he's got flaws. I hope they do a new version of him like they did with MP Prime.

I'd love to see a redesign of Megatron that's in scale with MP-10, has either a less over-sized fusion canon or at least an extra smaller canon for bot mode that doesn't weigh him down.

That said, the whole orange cap thing puts me off the idea of a gun alt mode for him.

The orange cap comes off very easily.
