He/she also precises that the toy was selling in the specialty store for about US $100, which is the estimated price point.
The cover is a re-enactment of the final battle between Optimus and Megatron in the 1986 Transformers film and the special stamp on the cover marks this as part of the commemoration of that film. This posits that both the Megatron and Optimus toys are supposed to reference this scene and those G1 decos, at least for their robot modes.

happy! HAPPY!! it's a bloody abomination! & doesn't accurately demonstrate what the boxart is trying to represent............namely G1.
& YES i know coz of toy gun laws...that it has to look that way
but COME ON!!! you'd've thought that they would've allowed a G1 Megs at least for this set! since it's what the boxart is trying to tell you(since it's taken from the original animated movie).

G1 Megatron is legally considered a fire arm replica and thus can't be released as is. In fact, Hasbro toyed with the thought of reissuing, for the US market, in purple and orange back in the day. Guess what: didn't fly.

Plus, if you want some G1 themed fun, you can just get last year's tank megatron and pair him with the upcoming gen PMOP
