Sure, Takara still makes em. I’m looking at my « recent enough » MP Megs which turns into a gun.

Outside of 100% Takara initiated projects that are developed exclusively for Japanese markets? No, never, ever.

keep surprising us since Siege.
So, no. I'll never say "never".
Sabrblade wrote:Yeah, in a previous Hasbro livestream, Evan basically said "Gun Megatron isn't happening."
But while that means Hasbro can't make one, that doesn't mean Takara can't make a Japanese-market-exclusive one on their own completely separate from Hasbro. It just means Hasbro can't sell it in their markets at mass retail. Because doing so would be against the law.

And yeah, he definitely won't turn into a gun, not after we got two very obvious unrealistic gun characters that became a submarine and a space battleship.

Again, being realistic has absolutely nothing to do with it. If unrealistic laser guns like Six Shot and Shockwave couldn't have gun modes then slightly realistic Megatron stands no chance.

Was that because of the law or because Hasbro was playing it safe? If Hasbro can sell gel blasters and now half length pro blasters that almost shoot as hard and fast as real steel, I don't see a problem with Six Shot or Shockwave. Megs might be harder but still.

Thank you very much!
Just finished work on my latest custom, Battletrap! 3D printed a gun for him that's a bit larger than intended but I think still looks cool xD

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

I can't say how much I personally appreciate your work, bro. If we ever meet, the first round is on me. And probably the second and the third.
Unless you're from Wisconsin you won't last more than three...
