Just worked out why it's so expensive, it's the instruction sheet. It's got to be massive!

[Cobotron]

The robot mode looks like it makes for a really fun action figure. The Alt mode looks like a ton of fun to pew pew all around the town. But that transformation looks like the exact opposite of what I would call fun. I think a root canal would be more fun.

Still looks great once you get through it though.

[Kurona]

So to those who owned it, does this look better or worse than MP-05's transformation?

Fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath (and several other fans) found a video showcasing the transformation of MP-36 Masterpiece Megatron. The reviewer is Chinese and decided it would be best to have sentences at the bottom of the video as it plays to music. We don't get the best sense of the reviewer's opinion, aside from some really cool aspects in the transformation and a thumbs up here and there, but this should give you all a good idea of what is involved with this toy. Many were wondering if Takara could do what no one else did so far and do a pleasant transformation that didn't take forever, so now you be the judge to see if that happened. MP Megatron comes out early April, how many of you have preordered him, and how many are still waiting to see if he is worth his high price before making the plunge?

What a kibble-tastic, panel lined nightmare.

Pre order officially canceled.

[Mindmaster]

Lord, that transformation is involved. But will it be as much of a pain in the ass as the original MP Megatron?

Definitely glad I dropped some for this preorder. He can't get here soon enough!

[Ravage XK]

Hard to say until mine arrives but MP5 does feel fragile while between modes. From the video I think this will be more solid.

Much more complex but less annoying.

I swear that the transformation was long enough that with all the background music you could actually get a degree in 80's musical study by watching it.

I'm not gonna lie, it looks alright transformation wise, but jeez I would not do well with it. Also, all those panels lines in gun mode are a bit irritating

I came here for the comments because I have no patience and couldn't sit through the whole video.

****.

kibble-tastic,

[fenrir72]

Prescription for the MP-Megatron dilemma, to transform or not to transform?

Intervention

Buy yourself a TFC Megatron/Encore.(With pellet firing mechanism of course)

Keep in gun mode.

Keep MP 36 in Robot mode

Play with your imagination recreating the scenes in the show/movie

When time to transform, use the original toy.

Results? Save you the heartbreak and mental breakdown of breaking your figure.

You do get a local anesthetic shot of a lidocaine/epinephrine shot before a root canal so essentially, you won't feel it.

Good. I can I get that right before I try to transform Megs?

You could always go back through the Staff forums and read up on some of our old problems. That'll numb the brain for sure.

[Ironhidensh]

kibble-tastic,

It means what I want it to mean.

Anyway, I'm going to officially bow out of this thread now. To those of you getting this figure, I really do hope you enjoy it. Good luck to you.

[william-james88]

I was cringing at a few times in that transformation video. I really dont know about this. And there is no way in hell I buy a TF figure and not transform it, theres no point then, might as well just buy an action figure that doesnt transform. And its a big price tag. I think I will stick to my guts and just wait this one out and see what people say when they have it in hand.

[Deadput]

Was going to watch the vid...

Then the length I saw 27 minutes...

I therefore noped right out.

[Ultra Markus]

loved the background music but you should have included Instruments of Destruction to the soundtrack because you know that's Megatrons theme song, just sayin!

thats why there is music to listen to instead of boring silence or talking

Hasbro would beg to differ, having chosen "Seek and Destroy" by Metallica for Megs' theme song in the Hall of Fame.

Nah that's the killing your childhood heroes theme song.

[chuckdawg1999]

Where can I find a copy of that second track used in the vid, it was the 70s soul version of the theme. It had a solid groove.

No patience.

Lack of attention span.

Call it what you want. Plus the music was annoying.

Shocker.

I watched the entire thing. The transformation is long-winded, but I don't get them to transform them (regularly, anyway). They are displayed in robot mode.

seek and destroy wasn't part of any transformers movie or show, as far as i know metallica had nothing to do with anything transformers
