Takara Tomy Transformers Legends LG13 Megatron First Look

I prefer the duller look to the over all body Silver/Gray vs the Hasbro release, which is usually in reverse as the JP releases are normally the more metallic.

Also, on the packaging, they have done as I have, and reversed his arm cannon. On the Habro box (not sure about the instructions, I have them filled with allllll the others at the moment) the cannon id extended with firing tip from tank mode towards the end of Megs arm, flipping it as shown on the JP box gives him a far more accurate G1 look.

Still in love with this iteration of Megatron. Hes the best addition to the top shelf of my collection in a long time.

There seem to be some minor differences on the deco after all: a bit more silver around the waist, and possibly some kind of extension for the cannon in tank mode. Can you spot any others? Let us know in the Energon Pub after checking out the mirrored image below.

Also, the inside of the arms is silver. (Red on Hasbro.) This makes him slightly more cartoon-accurate.

The red on the inner arms is surely a refference to the G1 TOY.



That's a good reason for me to go Hasbro because G1 Megs is one very, very awesome toy.

Yes. Hasbro sometimes shoots for the original toys decos while Takara generally for cartoon-accuracy. (fortunately for me.)

For me, this round goes to Takara. I really like and appreciate their attention to (cartoon) details.

The rubber treads are now black. Nice touch.

Top shelf huh ? Is that your way of saying even though he looks awesome he is TOO BIG to scale with the rest of your CHUG collection ? Lol I might skip this figure for that very reason. I might buy the armada version though if I see it in stores.

He ain't OCD with scale issues I magine.

He did get Hegemon.

I'm excited to see how he's packaged - no doubt it will be in alt mode, like the rest of the line. The Takara Legends line has been quite well done.
