Well at least you guys can change yours mine for ungodly reasons unknown gun barrel will not, and I repeat NOT swivel downwards on its hinge. I can't get past the first damn step un effin believable.

You can do it. It's about properly orienting the metal section so that it goes over the part of the rear that's connected to the hinges. I hope that makes sense

Mine can't bend that far. I had to shave off the raised ridges on the barrel arm just so I could transform him.

There's probably one more area that I need to shave off in order to perform that configuration, but I'd rather not be the first to do it. :lol:

I see. I've been enjoying all of the gimmicks the toy offered without doing any modification. Maybe I got lucky on my copy or I'm doing things right. Even the silencer plug thingy brought no issues on my copy.

I have a question....is there anywhere that I would still be able to get one without the orange plugs?

Problem solved. I needed to further shave the last tooth on his barrel arm.

Nice.

I forgot to shave or push the pin on the black part. It caused indentation that ruined the paint on the right

Late adopters or those who have not transformed their copy yet, check the metal pin if it is not flushed.

If not, best push it in or file it.

So looks like Megatron is getting reissued already at the end of the year.

Posting a Megatron Video I made not too long ago. Took 39 LEDs to upgrade with all his accessories. (Yes, it is still fully transformable.) Check it out!

Welp, I'm seeing this in my nightmares tonight.

Might wanna work on that signature though, it's a tad too large for our forum guidelines.
And I pity anyone on a slow connection who try to load all those gifs.
:-P

Speaking of MP-36, with the re-issue confirmed, I went ahead and pre-ordered him from TFSource. This guy seems well worth it, and it gives me like 5 months to prepare for him!

I like the way you think D-Max! $40 a month isn't bad in the grand scheme!!

Once the japanese sites have preorders for the rerelease, I will be getting him too. I heard rave reviews about him the past few days coming from people who really know what they are talking about.

I have every intention of him wearing the battered chest and faceplate for my display. I love those parts so much.
