This might be my first purchase for my MP shelf.

Son of a biscuit! I forgot 'third-party' in there. My bad, there! I meant this might be my first third-party purchase for that shelf.

Ah, no worries!! Funny that Mightron might be your first 3rd party for that shelf, as my first 3rd party figure EVER was Apollyon!

Preorder up at BBTS, $129.99





I don't know. There's something just a bit off about that gun mode. Maybe it's all the holes...

I think it's that. The front strap of the pistol grip actually looks accurate to a P38!

[galvatron00]

It also definitely looks like a bracing extension could connect on the back of the grip as well, why not include it and the barrel extension/silencer? Will that be the difference between this release and the MakeToys Despotron and X-Transbots Apollyon? 'Cause $20 more to have it is worth it to me.

The prototype pics I saw of MT's didn't show the extension, but the description doesn't state what's included. I don't know if MT's will come with the add-ons. To me, pretty much any "MP" based Megatron should come with them. (I kinda regret missing out on the MP-05 add-on set...)

I missed out on that set too. And yeah, they should all come with them! Maybe these won't thanks to using Takara MP5 as the example.

[galvatron00]

Oh snap. Watching now.

[galvatron00]

Oh snap. That transformation looks like less can break/pop-off than Apollyon. BUT, that's a serious backpack that actually HINDERS waist articulation! Dang it.

[Agamemnon]

Oh snap. Watching now.

Okay, I'm watching the video. I wonder if all those holes I was complaining about had to do with how the arms transform...

Very clever, DX9!!

I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally like the transformation. That figure looks super solid. SUPER solid.

[Cyberpath]

A couple more:

[galvatron00]

So. Dang. Solid.

It looks like the person removed the sticker from Apollyon's chest

Also I'm reading that the back kibble is actually reduced? A mistransformation has been shown in some photos?

[galvatron00]

So Ben updated his video:


And Peaugh posted his!


The kibble is cleaned up, below the skirt is the articulation, hmm....properly lined up the back looks more like IDW gun-mode Megatron!

Kids, I'm getting an itchy trigger finger here. Talk me down. Before I buy all the things.

Only because you asked, here goes.. *cracks knuckles*

Takara will eventually come up with its own version and it shall be the best version.

So what you're really trying to say is "Why settle for a peek when you can see everything from Takara Mountain!"

[Cyberpath]

I guess.

[Bumblebee21]

Should I get this or mp shockwave

[galvatron00]

OR, you could buy my Apollyon, and I'll buy this guy

[Bumblebee21]

OR, you could buy my Apollyon, and I'll buy this guy

I'll take it for $10

Ouch 'bee. Very ouch.

You got stung

[galvatron00]

Just had some infuriating time with Apollyon, looks like he's going to my nephew and a new Megaton will be purchased.

I really wish this guy came with the extension pieces that it clearly is designed for.
