What about the rocket launchers ? Your image doesnt show them.

Anyway, I'm way more exited about that one that I ever was over the MP. For me, having an amazing leader size and bad-ass looking UM for 200$ less than I would have to pay a MP count for a lot.
yeah.. masterpiece magnus is still FAR superior to this.
no doubt this figure will utilize the same awful ratchet joints we've been seeing with the other voyager and leader figures.
they couldn't be bothered coloring the thing accurately which is a bit annoying. the outward shoulder joints are REALLY weird looking.
every time i see a new photo of this figure, the less i like it. i'm sure if takara releases it, i'll like it again. i really wish the thighs were red with a blue crotch. with all the cost cutting going on, they could've at least gotten the colors right.
lastly.. who in the hell was selling masterpiece magnus for $250? magnus was easily attainable for $150.. and yes, it is most definitely worth $100 more than this leader figure.

He changed the colours around season 2 of MTMTE if I'm right so yeah they got the colours right on the toy. Also you can adjust the shoulders so those outward joints can be covered.

I went and checked the more recent issues, and while his legs are indeed white now, his crotch is still blue.

The saddest part is there's no trigger crotch to tug on CW megatron.

He has the advantage of having extra body armor over OpToo bad about that last incident with 6-shot.

Well, the chest DID was in one piece. So, the minibot inside was OK, only uncouncious. That's my headcannon anyway.

I think this figure is BRILLIANT. Sure he has some shortfalls, but over all I don't regret a thing. In some poses I really don't like seeing the sticks his arms are attached to, the cannon could be more maneuverable (position on arm and horizontal movement in tank mode), and those feet could use an ankle tilt. Those are my ONLY complaints. Barring those, this toy is damn near perfect in my eyes.
The working tank treads. Score.
Head sculpt is killer (liiiiigghhhttt piiiPPPIINNNGGG!!)
Enough articulation to do loads of fun stuff.
Like the arm cannon either way, but love the look of it fully extended *snicker*.
Transformation is simple and fun without feeling dumbed down or "simplified".
Tank mode is solid (and doesn't get the aversion to silver tanks).and
HE HAS A SPARK CHAMBER (ala Beast Wars)!!!!!!!
(somehow I missed that little detail)
So, I love him. I hope everyone on the fence takes a chance, and those looking can find one. In closing, here's pics of mine!
Yes. The turret mechanism transformation is pretty brilliant too. This whole time I wasn't quite sold on the mold, especially Armadatron, but now he's getting bought just on principle-Kanrabat- wrote:Sajaki, glad you could get your hands on this magnificent figure!
Many think the "inner arms sticks" are a bit derpy looking and I agree. However, it's a brilliant compromise to allow a tank turret that can fully rotate. Also, yeah, some ankle tilts would have improved the posability a lot, but it dosent break the figure.
Now, to wait for the innevitable clearance sale of Armada Megatron...
