Until recently my old MP Prime and Megs stood behind my regular Classics TFs as a sort of "movie poster" type of setup. Where some peopel are out of scale to signify spiritual signifigance? Yeah, that's what I did.

I paid the original $150 at a con. Never broke him and transformed him quite a few times. But I'm very careful with him.

While MP Megs isn't my number 1 MP figure I think Takara did an incredible job in creating such a detailed and complex figure from a handgun form. His feet rust, his head isn't right and his arm cannon is far too big and heavy for his frail body to cope with but I wouldn't be without him in my MP lineup.

He cost me less than £60 if I remember correctly so I cannot complain. I also sprung for the 3rd party add on kit.

I like MP05. I'm going to hate doing it, but I will buy a newer version of him if they make one. As long as it's not super expensive. Got mine from BBTS for $85 and don't regret it at all. You need a big Megatron to display with MP Prime og. He's just a superb&*&*% to transform & there is a lot of plastic & he is fragile. Only downsides to me. Should or will Takara make MP Galvatron first or a new Megatron??

Why?

Because he's crap, there I said it.
I know he's the best Takara did AT that time, but..

Losers always whine about their best, winners go home and make a proper g1 Megatron toy.



look at that, I spat on MP Megs, and raped a movie quote.. Booya Grandma!

if you compare mp1 to mp10, the mp5 makes a hell of a first draft for a megatron v2. Sure he has his issues, but I'm sure most of us would have a hard to engineering him to transform into a rather large p-38. the only thing I really worry about is that megs v2 may end up being that dreaded tank (ughh!) I hope to hell that what ever the alt mode ends up being, at least have his bot mode look like his G1 self.

Does the plastic that MP Grimlock is made of feel brittle, or cheap? Like does it appear that it will last a long time?

Hmm, doesnt feel cheap. You just have to be careful with him. Some of the joints are thin and FEEL like they would break but I think he is tougher than he looks, you wouldn't want to use him for anything other than display though IMHO.

Once you start to transform Megs you get a sense of what a feat of toy engineering he is. Insanely complex and intricate in parts.

I presume you're talking about MP Megs with your last sentence?
I agree.

Worthless? I cannot get one for below 200$ on Ebay.

MP Megs did not impress me from the start but at that price? I'll stick with Hegemon.
