The Energon Pub

Phew!!! After the diappointment of Action-HQ cancelling most of the orders for Masterpiece Megatron, I reordered him from Robotkingdom.com, and now I have learned that he's on the way! YEEEEES!!!

Anyone else who also had their order cancelled, go to Robotkingdom.com. They work with Paypal, but at least you'll have a better chance of getting MP-05 (unmodded) from there.

Hi!

Just picked up mine from customs and started transforming it right away. Got him into gun mode with no problems, but not back to robot.

His lower part of the torso seems to be locked inside the middle part, so I can only pull up the upper part.
Using any more force than I already did will surely break it.

Did anyone else have this problem so far?
Any solutions?

Please help... I'm starting to panic...

Thanks.

Edit:
Panic climaxed... used more force... and it worked!
This is one scary toy... thought I would break it with every second step.

My Megatron just arrived! Hallelulah, no wif you excuse I'am gonna lock myself in my room with it, bye!

Mine came yesterday

I got mines a couple days ago from BBTS, cap is glued in, I hate it. I regret buying it from them, should have gotten it from HLJ. It goes take away from the figure, it's like they took his manhood away from Megatron.

Well, good news is CapturePrey.com got theirs in U.S a few days ago, and I'll hopefully will get it from them later this week, without being seized.

I email them today, they have in stock, shipping it out this weekend

got mine yesterday and i love him, just the shoulder articulation is alittle iffy, but otherwise I think hes great.

I transformed him to gun and back to robot twice, I don't think I remember a transformation that wore me out. This is a great figure, highly recommended!

Anyone know where the wharehouse is located that BBTS ships their stuff from?

Michigan I believe

BigBadToyStore is located in Somerset, Wisconsin.

mine was supposed to be delived by ups from bbts today but my girlfriend had to leave at 5pm, and it didnt show up by then... and neither of us ill be home till sunday...so looks like ill be waiting until monday

Got mine yesterday. Ordered from a guy in Illinois on Ebay. Ordered tuesday..arrived yesterday. Gotta love that. Unmodified also.

i just got mine today from BBTS... gotta love it

the plug is pretty easy to remove too

Just got mine today from HLJ. The 3 week wait seemed interminable. He's awesome. The best part is that the cap is ridiculously easy to take off.

I've thought about it, but I'm not really into Megatron that much. I more like Starscream, but I don't like the MP-03 paint job, so I'm awaiting Skywarp. He looks freakin' amazing! I also don't really care for Megatron's legs. They just take away from the overall shape of the figure for me. It'd be nice if Takara, or anyone else for that matter, made some sort of attachment for Megatron's legs to give them some size.

Also, I'm debating whether or not to pick up MP-04 before he's gone. I noticed BBTS raised their price on him. I can't find him anywhere for less than $180. Not to mention I've already got Hasbro's first run 20th Anniv. Prime. But I want that trailer (not to mention the better smokestacks)!! Any idea what my 20th Prime might get on eBay? He's opened, but everything's there, and all in great condition.

Also, Reminator, what's that combiner figure in your sig? The one with the blue and black cars for legs. I recognize that figure but I can't figure out who he is. I used to have him and he was just cool!!

Megatron is an amazing looking figure. The legs really do not look that thin in person. I've transformed him a couple of times and it can be really difficult because of the tightness on some of the joints but it is not that difficult once you get the hang of it.

I also noticed that BBTS raised their prices on MP-04. I was lucky to get him for $159.99. I was debating a week ago whether or not to get MP-01 or MP-04 and was leaning towards the former but was able to trade in a bunch of stuff to BBTS. They gave me more credit then I was expecting so I used all of it to purchased both MP-04 and MP-03. Can't wait to get them, and have them join Megatron on the shelf.

Finally got mine on Wednesday from Tf Source, unmoddified.
Hooray! And I got a second one from Robotkingdom on thursday,( I thought it might come in handy for trade or somehting else).
A bitch to transform to gun mode the first time, but transformed back to robot mode without using instructions.

Yep mine came unmodified from TFSource on Wednesday. He looks so good with the newest Alternators posed around him.

soon.maybe tomorrow
