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

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
