Theyre awesome quality. I love mine. In my opinion, Megs is the better of the two, by a hair.

I demand you buy both Megs & Prime - they are both awesome figures that complement one another.

The detail and paint apps are awesome (metallic paint!).

My one complaint? the handle on Prime's rifle is not molded in, it just attaches via a tiny pin that comes out easily.

Shockwave would be a perfect character design for the Revoltech treatment, and if they make a Revoltech Shockwave it's accessory has to be a tiny Shockwave transfomed, so he can wield a tiny version on himself in raygun mode like in the cartoon that one time :grin:

Revoltech Shockwave would be their best selling figure yet - no doubt.

Brilliant idea. The issue with Prime's gun is really not an issue unless you like to play catch with him. :grin:

I must be the only one who thinks they suck total ass.

They suck total ass, avoid.

Transformers that don't transform always make me gnash my teeth a little.

Especially expensive Transformers that don't transform.

Expensive? I got my Rev. OP for £16, which is... I guess $8. That's not really that much.

I'm also not particularly fond of the revoltech series, to me, they're the new action masters. Though I must say, as much as I don't like them, I hate the Nike ones even more.

Id say this is a good alternative for those who may complain that the MP Megs is hard to transformer, hard to play with and maybe fragile, even though IMO it blows G1 Megs out the water in comparison.
(I think MP's are not for play, only display)

This way its G1 accurate, you can play with, and you wont break it...

(Though I hate ALL transformers that dont transform!!!)

other way around. it's be about $31. Got myself a Revoltech Patlabor Griffon from ebay. Definitely worth it. Would be getting more Revoltechs but.. you know.. money.

I have some interest in these figures but haven’t felt the need to buy them yet. The price plus the size of the figures have kept from buying them. If they announce more Revoltech Transformers I may have to jump on board.

The Revoltech figures are greatness formed into ball jointed plastic.

I can see why some people might not like their styling, they do have the look of Great Big Honking Legs and Small Upper Bodies but that makes them so stable. Megatron is probably as close to a cartoon acurate posable figure that you will get.

I have both, they are first class. I am kicking myself that I didnt get Ultra Magnus when I had the chance.
