I also don't give a fawk about "perfect" 3p figures. I prefer having originals only and I think Hasbro Leader CW Megatron is his ULTIMATE form. Especially with repros. Why? It's his G1 self with an altmode that actually make sense.
The first paragraph.
BULLSEYE!

I really don't see the criticism about Leader Megatron having skinny legs. His legs and chest seem to scale pretty well together, particularly compared to his G1 cartoon iteration which had very slim thighs. The real problem for me with the figure is that his arms are too chunky. His shoulders are too large, necessitating those awful red stick connecters, and the whole apparatus both looks silly in some poses and impedes movement.
I really do love the toy. He looks great for the most part, and he has a fun transformation and alt-mode. I don't even mind the cannon. I just really wish they had done a bit more work on his shoulders.

If those connectors were just a darker, and less noticeable color, I would be much more tempted to get Megs.

Takara solved that. I've got the Hasbro one. I really don't mind the red. It's a sweet toy. It can have a minor flaw.

The color doesn't bother me, I just wish they weren't there at all. He would be nigh perfect with proper shoulders.

Well it's understandable, but I wish they just forgot about the turret rotating gimmick. It would have really improved the figure.

How does the turret screw up the figure? It doesn't inhibit any articulation.

The turret articulation is part of the shoulder issue that was complained about...

Sorry, I'm totally missing something here. Any who, I guess I have more of a positive outlook on megatron. Sure he's not perfect, but damn if he's not a great traditional Megatron in a great size.

Don't get me wrong, I love this Megatron. I even have the Armada version! I just think he could have been an even greater figure with better shoulders.

Thanks Mooncake623.
I'm thinking maybe I should snag another even though mine is coming snail mail from Amazon and should be here tomorrow. I just wish Viper was in stock so I could get free shipping. I don't have the extra cash right now to dish out for Cyclonus. Cyclonus and Viper are the only two I'd like to add to the ranks right now.
