Looks good, would like to have seen some color on his trademark "uni-brow", a better sword, and a red that wasn't translucent, but he still looks good. :grin:

I am definitely not a "3rd party guy" but after years of waiting for a decent Megatron, I might just have to pull the trigger (pun intended) on this one!

Why hello Megatron! Looks fantastic. Near perfect size and design! Will be mine, oh yesss...

It seems as if third party products are replacing half of my classics collection now!

"Dammit! That is glorious," weeped my bank account.

I had thought that if I only plumpled for one 3rd party toy this year it would be Hexatron. Looks like I'll be buying at laest two high tag items after all. Have we even heard anything about this previously? To get in from work and have this much awesome come at me out of left field is not something that happens every day.

there were unpainted prototype images floating around some weeks back.

I dunno, I like him, he is cool and all, but I have Henkei Megs, He's good enough. I'd rather spend money on characters I don't have (good) versions of.

It took me a reeeealllly long time to notice that, but apparently the elbow connectors (not the entire upper arms) look like they could be clear red plastic. I think I could live with that

Yea, we saw gray prototype pics of it before:

But that was a while ago.

that is awesome, but its going to be way to expensive to justify buying. Ive said it before and ill say it again, its sad that 3rd party companies are doing better work than habro in both quality & design/functionality.

I've always believed that for Hasbro, it's a job; while for 3rd party companies, it's a passion.

Upper body good, lower body lacking...

Unsold on this. Feels a bit detail-less to be a CHUGs fig.

Plus Hasbro's doing it for a much larger audience than the G1 faithful junkies... They're trying to appease us, but they want to make it desirable to those that have never heard of G1 Whats-his-nuts. How about we compare this to the next MP Megs which is done specifically for the G1 junkies...I have my $ on that being more impressive than this, but we'll see.

Aren't you in danger of getting kicked off the Twincast podcast for that?

Did I get the acronym wrong? I rarely use it. Classics, Henkei, Universe, Generations...it seems okay...

Must just be my opinion then. In that case, I'm in no danger.

I think you should use it A LOT in the next podcast recording and see how it goes over... Pretty please?

Wow that's amazing looking.

by **BATTOUSAIXD** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 3:52 pm

This looks really good! It's probably going to be pretty expensive though. Maybe a new mold for masterpiece megatron will be released.

by **prowl123** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 4:08 pm

Yes please.

Looks like Hegemon will be dead-on the same height as iGear's Faith Leader, will tower a bit over Classics Prime (in comparing both figures to Dr. Crank).

They might be referring to the fact that the term "chug" is a highly derogatory term for Native Americans and First Nations people.

Picture of how tall classic prime vs TFC Constructicons

This Megatron is probably one head taller than Classic Prime.
