I bought a MISB Magmatron last week and waiting very impatiently for him to come in the mail.

I'm REALLY pumped for this figure. He's an ABSOLUTElY awesome character and a very unique transformer.

Nice and monstrous like i like.

Just outta curiosity. Any of you guys who already own him......whatya think of him?

I own the Takara version(Sonokong is the company that distributed him in S.Korea). If I have any complaints, his freakin' sword is had to mount on his hand.Aside from that, another excellent representation of the Emperor of Destruction.

Btw which do you own? The third version, the "Beastwars" USA version has his swords' blade slightly dulled.

I've got both the Neo and the BM ones and the differences are negligible. Both are awesome!

The Neo version. The US release was the Dinobot release wasn't it. He was a maximal at the point if i'm right time line wise.

That's what I meant, Beastmachine version. Sorry my bad.As zodconvoy said, you didn't make a mistake in getting one bro'

Addendum: I'm not quite sure if the BM version has the Maximal crystal but if that's the Takara version, well be prepared for a "pointy" reception with his sword. And he comes with a biocard (the Sonokong version too has one)

It doesn't matter which version you got, they all have the Predacon crystal. The Beast Machines version is a Maximal/Dinobot. He's a great idea with some neat details. A couple things that may disappoint you, his sword/weapon was a real pain for me so I left it boxed. His head doesn't really move anywhere, mine has no left/right motion. His combination is difficult if you're unsure what you're doing. Having said all of that, I still think he's great and he's one of the more interesting figures I own IMO. If you dig him, you might enjoy his comic appearances.
