I got a surprise in the mail box Saturday morning and it was MasterShooter's Mega-Gun targetmaster! I totally forgot I ordered this. Just a heads up to those you ordered him keep a look out... Now for some pics!

I got mine as well. Pretty disappointing in all honesty.

Couldn't get it all cleaned up? Vange1us' video review didn't sell me on it either. I'll stick with the legends version.

I didn't see what the hype was for these. They look junky to me.

Some silver paint would of really made him look a lot better but I'm really disappointed that the peg/gun post doesn't work with most of "5mm" holes. It works for my RTS Jazz, only the left hand of TCC G2 Ramjet... and my Jazware's MegaMan toys

I like the mold, could use some paint, and a post/peg that work. I give it a 2.5 out of 5.

I didn't think there was any hype on them. I just wanted a little Browning of my own. :-(

Fair enough. Sorry, they're disappointing.

Is any one else creeped out by the rainbow coming out of Unicron's butt?

What's so disappointing about it?

To be fair, the post is the same size, yet it works on some fists and not others. Seems to me the fists vary in size from one figure to the next. MasterShooter has no control over that. I have my Mega-Gun in Henkei Prime's hand and it's staying in just fine. Same for my Brown-King. He's being held by my Botcon SG Galvatron and is in there nice and tight. My DotM Bumblebee holds them quite loosely though. Using some clear nail polish, future, or Krazy glue to coat the peg is an easy solution to the problem. I've had to do it to numerous Hasbro products just to tight up joints.

Agreed, darn Hasbro for there inconsistent peg holes! To quote RTM-1 Dub Sixshot would say “I’m going to send them to hell” I might just put some nail polish on my G1 Soundwave hand so he can finally hold gun mode “Mega-Gun” like he did in the cartoon, so awesome. In the mean time, back to my Targetmaster MegaMan characters...

He's totally running with the rainbow Unicorn

Out of all the re-names they could of done they used UNICORN? Why not Unitron or Unicon?

Well, I meant using nail polish on Mega-Gun, not on your G1 toy...

Try a google search for Unicron, especially images. You'll see why.

Done! The polish is finely dried on my MEga-Gun and it makes him a lot more fun. He didn't make to G1 Soundwave's hand but I just plugged him in G1 Misfire and it's a lot better than spending $50+ on a broken Targetmaster...

As a side note, any one got Brown-King pics. to share?
