Group

[zodconvoy]

Optimus, Megatron and Starscream (and the not shown Goldbug) are all on my want list. Trailbreaker and Prowl, not so much.

[TheCrookedMan]

These will look great hanging out around, on, and in Fortress Maximus.

[whacko]

The more I see of these the less impressed I am with them. In fact I am actually a little disappointed with a few of them, like Megatron and his stumpy arm cannon and Prime with the wheel kibble on his wrists.

Having said that though, I will still try to get all of these when they finally reach store shelves.

I hate that stupid ogange crap on megatron !!! Is there a way to remove it ??? The damn thing is 2 inches long, who's gonna confuse it for a real gun ???

That is why I wont buy MP Megatron. They need to decide when a collectors item classifies as a "realistic replica" rather than a toy. You dont see non-firing revolutionary and civil war pistol replicas coming with orange plugs. Pretty retarded, I hate this generation of paranoia. Glad it didnt exist in my childhood.

Chillax homie. A little model paint (or even better, Gundam Marker) and you're good. Think of it this way, the regulations are in place. Hasbro can't change it, and neither can we. Is it not better that Hasbro erred on the side of caution, used the orange plug and brought Megs to market? If they didn't put that cap on, they risked it not being approved and we'd either have another tank Megs, or nothing at all...

What kills me is why the powers that be feel that putting orange paint on a gun to signify it's fake is such a brilliant idea that criminals cant think to do to a real gun. Fact is you hold anything up to a cop (or nothing at all for that matter) and make the arm motions like your holding a gun your likely to get shot. It's not rocket science.

[chrisc4]

i dont really mind the orange plug, megsy looks so awesome, as do the rest. i just wish hasbro made classics megs look like this instead of a nerf gun

[kirbenvost]

Looking pretty good, except for the grey-head Starscream. If I didn't already own an extensive collection of WSTs, I'd be picking these up. Too bad they couldn't have put a little bit of blue paint on Prime's hands, it would've made a huge difference in the overall look.

[Megatron Wolf]

These are some of the coolest legends so far, cant wait for them to come out. Megatron & Prime are the best ones so far.

[Burn]

Prime is actually looking REALLY good. Prowl however is in desperate need of some Reprolabels, and Starscream, Starscream REALLY needs that painted head.

That's an interesting thought, criminals painting real gun tips orange. Anyway, back on subject, these figures look ok to me. I find that with legends figures, it always either the arms don't have have any elbow joint or the legs don't have a knee joint. I know that's done to reduce cost but I'm always thinking how much cooler they'd be with one more set of joints! But I guess that's where Scout class figures come in.

The photo of Prowl sitting on himself is funny to me. It looks a bit like....well... he's taking a dump on himself.

Y'all are missing the point. It has nothing to do with criminals pointing guns at cops. It has to do with children innocently pointing a toy gun at a cop.

[Illmatic]

Man, I just wish that a G1 Megatron would come out in a Deluxe size. Revoltech Megs isn't cutting it for my display shelf with the other deluxes.

[Rated X]

When I was a teen I scared away a news coptor floating over my house with a full size M-16 Replica. It was all black, real size, and no stupid orange cap. Obviously the tip is part of the legends figure, but my question is on the MP megatron can the cap be yanked out with some pliers as it appears to be more of a plug.

Sorry to get off topic but someones gotta know. Maybe somebody might have one for sale at Botcon and I could put it in my checked luggage...

[OptiMagnus]

Prime is actually looking REALLY good. Prowl however is in desperate need of some Reprolabels, and Starscream, Starscream REALLY needs that painted head.

Agreed, Prime looks perfect for a legends to me. And Starscream definitely looks better with the painted head.
And by the way guys, I still don't care about orange caps. It's called paint, and it's available in many many colors to solve your problem. Take a look at your local craft store.

Or mistaking a real gun for a toy, which is even worse.

Then you should definitely hunt down the mega SCF megatron

[DTR69]

Not bad at all. I won't be buying them as I'm only into the best version possible. I f I had spare cash I would. I still get WSTFs but they are a concept. But full props for budget versions, they really are well done, I don't see why MC Ds don't have these as there give aways.

Nah, I have the same issue with that version as well. I own a revoltech Megs. It's a great figure (Looks G1), but the height is the issue. It just doesn't look good to have the rest of the Decepticons stand taller than their leader. That's why I wish for a deluxe g1 megs to be made (but, I know its pretty slim in chances).
