Orange-capping a LEGENDS class figure?? Are you effin' serious???? That just hurts my soul!

[LOST Cybertronian]

Stupid toy laws and stupid orange barrel tip on tiny Megatron. Looks cool beyond that.

[The Legend]

Orange barrel? Isn't it about 2 inches long?

[Skice]

NO! NO! THAT'S A BAD HASBRO! NO ORANGE CAPS ON LEGENDS CLASS! NO! BAD! *rolls up newspaper*

[Pyrostrata]

It is all kinds of win and cake til you get to that ridiculous orange tip!

Just fail.

[Mkall]

As neat as they are, I have no interest in these legends figs.

Also, WTF at the orange plug?

Wonder if it's molded on, or if it can be removed?

[Pyrostrata]

Here it is in all it's fail!



Sadly it does not appear removable...it actually appears to be part of the mold itself.

I am still crying inside over this! Shame on you, US gun laws! Shaaaaame!

[kirbenvost]

Mmm, blaze orange. Sexy.

Seriously though, I'm actually kind of impressed by these. They turned out looking a lot better than initial pics suggested. I wonder if I should pick up Trailb-er, cutter, or wait for a real version.

I soooooooo called it!

I remember having a discussion ages ago over if Hasbro would release the WSTs and I said they'd orange cap Megatron.

And now they did, it's hilarious!

[Oilspill]

I can't believe the orange cap is required on such a small figure. How is that going to be passed off as a real gun? You'd laugh at whoever tried it.

Ahh stupid overly litigious society.

[Carnivius_Prime]

Does seem odd to have an orange cap on a figure so small but it's no big deal. Easily paint some silver on it and it'll look fine. I don't actually care for Megatron as a gun, never have, but I'm impressed how they did this one and used the gun barrel as the fusion cannon to make up for the lack of the scope and well, it's better looking than the G1 figure ever was (not hard). I'm happy enough with my lil Legends G2 Megatron though cos I prefer Megs as a tank (or any kind of thing he don't need someone else to carry).

Not bothered about Starscream as I only like his Movie self.

Trailcutter/breaker looks a bit dumpy but when I was a kid there was a time I had to spend a week in hospital and my folks bought me the original Trailbreaker toy to cheer me up and it did so I guess I might buy this lil one for sentimental reasons. He's not too cartoony enough that he wouldn't fit in with my movie legends figures anyways.

[Lord Onixprime]

Yeah.....that just wont do. So much for me buying legends Megatron. I really did want to get him as they said he could be held by MP Screamer, but whats the point with the orange tip? Is it so the other toys in my room don't mistaken it for a real gun? I mean, who on earth would mistaken an inch and a half toy gun for a real one?

[G1Sizzle]

Megatron went from a must buy to an easy pass.

[--B--]

Well, at least Starscream's face is painted now.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

All three are pass. Seriously, Legends do nothing for me. They're way too small, little articulation and/or gimmicks.

[SLUGSLINGER81]

Putting an orange cap on Megatron is like castrating the poor ol' bastard...DAMN YOU CURSED ORANGE CAP!!!

[Bumblevivisector]

Seriously, are derringer-shootings on the rise? After all those stories about airport security pat-downs in the news this week, somehow I'm not surprised. But considering the barrel still wouldn't be proper black in robot mode anyway...yeah, I'm still buying it.

[Tytus]

You know, hand guns this small do exist, and have for some time. Google "tiny guns". Not saying that this doesn't look terrible, or that the gun looks remotely realistic, but with the way some people are I could see Hasbro getting into trouble for not clearly identifying it as a toy gun.

Wow, you're right and it's very worrying! Thankfully not many people will pay 3,000 for one of those!

Megs looks great. I didn't think they could do something that good! I even makes more sense than the original - a a scope on a pistol? Now we need a voyager version.

[Trikeboy]

Despite the stupid orange cap, I quite like Megatron. The head sculpt is one of the better ones considering past Megatron's. I will wait for the TakaraTomy images to be reveled before I decide if I will get him. Starscream is pretty cool and I may pick him up. Trailcutter, hmm, not sure yet. Nothing about it makes me think he is a viable purchase.

[paul053]

They always pictured Megatron's gun from the right side, does that mean his head can be seen from the left? Can't argue with the law but Megatron looks interesting. Starscream looks okay. Won't get him unless my kids want it. Trailbreaker (Trailcutter), I still think he needs a deluxe class.

[alexison]

I hope they make "Trailcutter" a deluxe class figure as well like the did with Hound.

Actually, the head is on a hinge that suggests it gets stored inside the chest in gun mode. I wish they did that with MP Megatron.
