Look at that dazzling texture detail! This Megatron is shimmering!

Weird stuff.

Easier to shoot without the silver paint.











The likeness is so good.

Man, Takara does the BEST plastic surgery!

[Sabrblade]

Hold on, that G1 Starscream has been customized. Look at the face.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Damn. If this guy wasn't so much money I would seriously get him. That is an amazing looking figure and I now really want it.

Such photogenic nonsense.

That may be the best thing said over the last 2 pages!

Heh!

I just saw that on Twitter! Tis great!

Saying I don't like something, isn't really insulting, it's just giving an opinion. What I really don't want to see, is people being attacked.

From what I read, I wasn't seeing insults, just opinions. My view of things, for those who took it up to debate this claim, which is valid considering the looks of Facebook over this Megatron.

Doth protest too much "X". No need to get snippy. IHD wasn't mad so why should you be?

Please don't. You are completely misreading the way he is wording stuff. the Kid's 15 and has always used that, it's not snippy talk.

Same here. And man, I wish we had some cherry or vanilla coke here.

I need to get another figure to go with Artfire for the free shipping. I was swaying around seeing if TFsource actually got some movie figures (and the Broadside pre-order is gone for some reason now) but then started thinking about other MPs. Saw they had G2 Sideswipe for $70 and they still have the original Primal, and that Megatron is really awesome looking.

Just wish I had more money. If I could somehow get $200 from something random and unexpected, I would buy Megatron. No doubt.

And Sheetz here has the option to add vanilla or cherry syrups to your coke as you dispense it. I add both to coke, Pepsi, and Mountain dew. Works beautifully with all 3

Anyone know why Megatron has 3 blue circles on his belly plate? He's usually depicted with just two, the larger, upper central one, and then a much smaller one below, typically offset towards the right a bit. I can't find any reference where this pattern with an additional small blue circle towards the middle bottom of the belly is used besides MP-36 Megatron. Is it to give him an actual belly button, lol?

Got my shipping notice earlier tonight. Praise be to The Chosen Prime!

I only see two blue circles and a tiny dot, which he does have on his cartoon model:

Thanks, Sabr! I knew you'd come through for me, lol! I was looking at tons of on screen examples of Megatron from the original cartoon, and various G1-related toys, and couldn't find all three blue dots. Figures it would be on the character model. I'm sure that tiny dot got omitted most of the time in practice when drawing the actual episodes. Could you share your source for these character models with me? I'd love to have them for reference in the future. I have a hunch there are more little oddities with deco details that Takara has produced that can be explained by comparing them to the character models rather than the actual cartoon footage.

Indeed! The access of more source materials Takara has which gives them an edge over the 3rds.

Granted, these all appear to be fan-colored versions of the cartoon models, but here's where I get them from - http://www.transformers.kiev.ua/index.php?pageid=g1encyclopedia

Also, here are a couple of screencaps of Megatron with the third dot in the cartoon:

[Cyberpath]

Yay!

[Wolfman Jake]

Thank you, Sabr! Interesting that these character models are all collected on a Russian website (or so I guess). I wonder if there exists a cache of Sunbow character models with official colorations?

That said, I really want MP Howlback already...

And Garboil! Can't have just half of the Cobalt Sentry Team. I want em both! I'm amazing it's not happened yet!

I just can't get past how awkwardly large his head looks in almost every photo.

Agreed. That in one huge bonce!

Yay!

(From @GenmonTCracker again.)

Jeez, the photographers are pumping out amazing pictures of Prime Vs Megatron. I like this one in particular!

Awesome!

Heck yeah, Garboil would be good too - let's not forget a ton of other easy redecoes like Glit/SG Ravage that'd be so easy and so nice to get. Howlback's just kinda special to me, hence why I pointed her out
Not that I'd mind getting a cute little blue laserbeak with her. More obscure repaints for the ragtag teams!
