Until recently my old MP Prime and Megs stood behind my regular Classics TFs as a sort of "movie poster" type of setup. Where some peopel are out of scale to signify spiritual signifigance? Yeah, that's what I did.

I paid the original $150 at a con. Never broke him and transformed him quite a few times. But I'm very careful with him.

While MP Megs isn't my number 1 MP figure I think Takara did an incredible job in creating such a detailed and complex figure from a handgun form. His feet rust, his head isn't right and his arm cannon is far too big and heavy for his frail body to cope with but I wouldn't be without him in my MP lineup.

He cost me less than £60 if I remember correctly so I cannot complain. I also sprung for the 3rd party add on kit.

I like MP05. I'm going to hate doing it, but I will buy a newer version of him if they make one. As long as it's not super expensive. Got mine from BBTS for $85 and don't regret it at all. You need a big Megatron to display with MP Prime og. He's just a superb&*&*% to transform & there is a lot of plastic & he is fragile. Only downsides to me. Should or will Takara make MP Galvatron first or a new Megatron??

Why?

Because he's crap, there I said it.
I know he's the best Takara did AT that time, but..

Losers always whine about their best, winners go home and make a proper g1 Megatron toy.



look at that, I spat on MP Megs, and raped a movie quote.. Booya Grandma!

if you compare mp1 to mp10, the mp5 makes a hell of a first draft for a megatron v2. Sure he has his issues, but I'm sure most of us would have a hard to engineering him to transform into a rather large p-38. the only thing I really worry about is that megs v2 may end up being that dreaded tank (ughh!) I hope to hell that what ever the alt mode ends up being, at least have his bot mode look like his G1 self.

Does the plastic that MP Grimlock is made of feel brittle, or cheap? Like does it appear that it will last a long time?

We've got a badass over here.

Hmm, doesnt feel cheap. You just have to be careful with him. Some of the joints are thin and FEEL like they would break but I think he is tougher than he looks, you wouldn't want to use him for anything other than display though IMHO.

Once you start to transform Megs you get a sense of what a feat of toy engineering he is. Insanely complex and intricate in parts.

I presume you're talking about MP Megs with your last sentence?
I agree.

Worthless? I cannot get one for below 200$ on Ebay.

MP Megs did not impress me from the start but at that price? I'll stick with Hegemon.

MP Megatron is just fine for my collection. Unless Has/Tak is going to make a Megatron to scale with MP Prime, I am not interested in another version. They reside on their own shelf, front and center, in my Transformers room. They need to be in scale.

I like my figures big. Especially the highly detailed figures. I am not buying into the new MP figures because I don't think their size differentiates them enough from Alternators or Classics.

I will never stop loving the MP-5. I do think his fusion cannon is way too big and heavy, but no big deal for me! This version of Megatron is my favorite design.

He may have some problems, but I love my MP-5. As far as the complaints that the fusion cannon is too big... That is true, but there is a (*cough* third-party *cough*) soloution for that, that also helps the alt-mode out a ton.




Mind you, as I said, he definitely has some problems. But he's still awesome. I'll take him over Hegemon with his (in my opinion) weak looking alt-mode and accessories (the stock extension) that seems to have no use with the robot mode any day.

That being said, since they've done a new Optimus, I'd not mind if they took another shot at Megatron in the new MP scale, as well. The legs could definitely use some work, perhaps with a transformation somewhat inspired by the Legends class version (more complexly designed to fill in the hollow back end, of course). But if they do do another MP Megatron, I suppose there's an even chance they may do a non-gun alt mode (such as a G2 tank) which I know has many advocates, but I am not one of them. We'll see, I suppose.

And until such a hypothetical day comes to pass, as I said I am more then happy with my MP-5!

Megatron (MP-5) was my first Masterpiece release, but it will go up for sale pretty soon. I prefer the new smaller sizes, where all Transformers match. Megatron does not fit in unfortunately and therefore he has to find a new home. I am hoping for a smaller sized Megatron Masterpiece release still.

I love MP-5
he will never be sold!

Amen.

The 2 leaders should be the biggest. (I love the MP-1 OP too) Despite the spindly legs he's still a force to be reckoned with.

MP Megatron seems to be climbing recently - $250 for MISB on eBay.

well he isn't worthless he goes for £80-£100 on EBay or over in some cases. Maybe you are selling him at the wrong time?

Hes a decent figure to have though but not really much you can actually do with him, i have purchased the Toysworld megatron which is excellent and a near perfect replica of Megatron although he does have the popping off pieces from the body which is a bit annoying.

I've got an MIB up for sale for €100 in case any one is interested. I have just posted it up here.

Me no sell!
