You're free to sell it to me :P

I've seen one a few weeks ago, and while it looks cool, it looks like it could have been improved during planning stage - the trigger panel could have been disappearing in his lower leg, not just fold down there, and the lack of the necessary classic silencer and armholder is noticable.

Overall, by the other masterpieces the developers made better efforts to hide the alt. modes' details in robot modes.

What exactly are your problems with him? I've had mine since the initial release and never experienced any real problems outside of him being a pain to transform.

Unfortunately his gun alt mode poses a lot of challenges. Especially if they want to retain an element of realism to the alt mode and stay somewhat faithful to the original transformation.

His look takes getting used to. But I have mine in the back of my collection with s few TFs in front, covering his legs.

A 3rd party company made his stock and silencer. I have to say, it's awsome. It's a must for Megatron fans.

I think MP Megs is amazing. My only real complain about him is his feet so easily tarnish...and I wish he was a bit less fragile. I think his transformation is one of the best there is, but I'm a little nervous 'over-play' may eventually end badly.

That is really awesome for $45 dollars. I need a deal like that so I can take pieces from my broken and dog chewed Megatron and hopefully make one nice Megatron.

I'm sure you can find a junker Megatron if you look and make your desire known. It was pretty expencive, so if it broke on someone they might be holding onto it to sell to someone and recoup their losses.

I always thought his arm cannon was way too big as compared to he rest of him.

True. A little cheating from the designers on that part, such as making a smaller, show-accurately-sized cannon would made wonders with that figure (like the cheating with MP Primes grills).

Try standing him so his legs are viewed at an angle. They're plenty wide enough when viewed from the side.

He is annoying to transform. I put him into alt. mode once, changed him back and displayed him. He and MP Prime are on the top shelf, presiding over the collection.
