I thought the reasons he was seen as a failure were due to the hollowness and the fake chest, two asoects that remain the same with this used as a seeker mold. So what makes Jetfire a failure while not staining the use of this mold for seekers?

chuckdawg1999 wrote:So I got Leader Megatron on Friday and opened it up today. OMG, have you ever heard the phrase about toys not photographing well? Well CW Megatron is the embodiment of that saying, I have yet to see a picture or video that properly captures this toy. For me the biggest in hand realization was the fusion cannon. Like everyone else I rotated it around so the bigger end faced forward, and then quickly rotated it back because it just looked better that way. Sure in 20 years this will be junk because the rubber treads will disintegrate but for now it's awesome. By the by, did the stickers come in the baggie with the card for everyone?

This. Like people, some toys are not photogenic. chuck's response goes to show fellow collectors, (not you chuck) not to be too harsh on preliminary or even high def images on the PC screen. Heck, even in Japanese Hobby magazines (which are rendered much better) to pass judegement on a fig. Devastar especially.

Actually the hole is supposed to be a sensor of some sort, for some reason the modern seekers have those now.

Actually, its probably for putting in Starscream's crown.
On a different note, has anyone else noticed that the Leader Megatron has a (kind of) gun mode?

Something about the underside of the wings looking all plastic/mold lines or whatever. That checkerboard pattern irks me the more I look at it.
Still, apparently the height and style isn't THAT far from MP... and it's a lot cheaper. (also may be nice to have a bit of difference between Thundercracker and Starscream....
But I just don't know...
REALLY dislike seeing Starscream with a crown... Is that something that was brought back for the comic? or is it still dredging that up from the 30 seconds he wore it in the movie?
