It's the middle where they screwed up. That's the exact opposite of MP Megatron where the only good thing about him is his mid/upper torso. Pretty sure Ironhide wont suffer from permanent tarnishing either.

Megatron has the excuse that his alt-mode was a limiting factor in his robot mode effectiveness. Plus he was designed in mere days.

Why do people bring up that he was designed in less than two weeks like that makes it OK? That makes him rushed garbage! Like it or not he's still an official retail Masterpiece figure and should be judged and compared accordingly. Plus we've seen considerably better and smaller Megatrons from third parties for a while now so the shape of the gun mode really doesn't matter much. Saying it's a "limiting factor" is the same as saying they can't make a better one and they most certainly can (and eventually will).

But he DIDN'T do the project himself. He designed it himself, but he wasn't the one that set the time tables and pushed an inferior product out the door. Takara could have realized they were being unreasonable and given the project more time, but they didn't. We waited nearly three years for the MP-03 mold to be released after MP-01, there was no need to push Megatron only six months after
Starscream, especially when we wouldn't see the next new mold, Grimlock, for two more years.
Why are we suddenly making excuses?

A simple Google search for "3rd party Ratchet/Ironhide" shows some far superior designs. Has/Tak have got to seriously question their standards when 3rd party companies start making better versions of their own characters.

Maybe some people don't mind this design and would rather have an official one and support the company that created those characters instead of buying from someone whose infringing on another's intellectual property and slapping a reprolabel symbol on it after word.

That's basically why i'm getting this one. I'm not against 3rd party stuff, but in the case of Masterpieces i will always buy official figures when i have the choice.
