I'm actually sort of flattered that you went back and found one of my Artfire pictures. Gosh, that is an amazing MP. I think my favorite MP so far actually.
It was hard to find decent bot mode pic in the Artfire topic (since the stock images got lost on the server) and I liked the way you had the leg forward like that.
I for one will not really mind if he comes without his gun extensions, help offset the price of being a TTM thing. what I do hope is that he still comes with a mace. His mace is my favorite weapon he used.
Totally in agreement on this. I've already got one Megatron with the stock and silencer, I don't need two with their extra parts sitting in the box. I really hope Optimus 3.0 doesn't come with a trailer...

Shockwave was already mentioned, but are alternate symbols really on the same level as how many stickers it would take to cover MP-36+? There's just no comparison.

Because its true. Both have skinny legs, oversized cannon and share a ridiculously similar transformation with the same parts from the gun becoming the same bits of the robot.
Plus they have the red inner legs and silver colour
Dfinitely some colour cues taken from the G1 toy there. Or else the deco would be more like MP 36, which is not the case.
Ok, so then only in the slightest are they similar.
Again, most of the similarities between the two come down to them both having the same alt mode. The skinny legs came from an engineering limitation that they tried to overcome by making the lower legs pop out to look thicker. The oversized canon/scope is due to his gun mode also being over sized, it looks right in gun mode.
That's a real P38 (with an added 'Con symbol) with MP-5.
Also that G1 Megatron was intentionally mistransformed in bot mode to stick his barrel on his back when it's supposed to be over his right hip. On his back started with the cartoon and comic.
The rest of the gun parts that are in the same places are also in the same place in the cartoon.
As for the colors it's for realism (refer to the image above), not G1 accuracy. This is the same company that made Starscream green after all. Really the only direct, intentional, unique tie MP-5 has to the G1 figure is the red inner legs.

Since the only one that wouldnt would be the one acquired from TTMall (which only ships to a Japanese address)
Could import from RobotKingdom, they don't do plugs. Depending on prices I might consider just using a proxy and ordering directly from TTM myself.
