Hi I got my masterpiece megatron but I have a one problem.. When i transform him into the gun. the part on his top upper arm which is that little thing u use to cock back for the gun to be ready. That part when trasnsformed into the gun I cant line that up so it fits niecly into the chest part. Does anyone else have that problem??? or know how to fix it. Please let me know

Hmm, not sure... would you be able to post a pic so we can see exactly what you mean?

In my experience with MP5, if it doesn't fit, push harder.

What he said, but be careful....if its possible to do both at the same time that is...

I have been as rough as possible with mine. I'd say, with the exception of the siver skeleton like parts, you really can just force everything around without consequence.

Speaking of MP-05, here is my question of the year. Do I by a second to keep in gun mode for the stock and silencer from justit? Tough one...

Well their not that expensive, which is a surprise..but why is Skywarp 99.00 on preorder and SS on ebay for 70.00?? it doesn't make sense..

Probably because SS is a shelf warmer in Japan due to the color issue. However, when I pre-ordered Skywarp, I think it was 89 at BBTS

Yes it does. Skywarp is better - thus more expensive!

Seriously though, it's sad that a repaint of a less popular character will be more expensive that the original. Wasn't MP Magnus cheaper than MP Prime when he was originally released?

There isnt that much difference in the actual price between Starscream and Skywarp, at least for me its just a few pounds. Maybe some people are charging more as there may be fewer numbers? Maybe there will be some sort of extra item? I seem to remember somebody saying it had more die cast at one point.

As for MP5 arms, yes mine did the same. You just have to keep working the parts around until they fit.

I have to admit I never tried to transform mine. Like the robot mode better, anyway.

I got it to fit perfectly by pushing the forearm up as far as possible. I find it helps if you rotate it out first then rotate back in and pull at the same time. I think that's what you're talking about, not sure though.

YES!! You are correct thank you!! it now lines up perfectly now I wondered wht it was like it. You do have to use a little force to push it into place. Thanks heaps

Ah, yeah, I had that same problem at first, but once you figure it out, it fits and looks great!

Don't transform him too much. He gets looser around the ankles on each transformation. The pegs on the thighs plates and the pegs on the trigger including the trigger itself are all weak. So use extra caution.
