The packaged set called - MP5 Upgrade Package, features replica extensions, which transform into Megatron’s Particle Beam Cannon. The upgrade package also includes two new black leg plates, which will replace MP Megatron’s present leg plates. The leg plates are rumored to be made of die-cast metal to give the figure a more weighted feel. The leg plates also feature a tweaked mold which allows the stock extension to attach in gun mode.

Very cool none-the-less... I'd just like to see more pictures of the final project!
if you scroll over the back of the box pic it shows the gun mode,
but if the leg plates are dye cast im dreading how much this might be

My thoughts exactly. It'd be nice if they not only made the figure cooler and more complete but fixed that rust problem too.

For soem reason I really like Megs with a true sword, and not just the beam dagger.

I don't think I'd want to deal with the hassle of importing Megatron again.

I commend JustiToys for taking it upon themselves to make Megatron right when Takara dropped the ball the first time. It looks amazing. And if it's anything close to the quality of the Prime trailer, they've got my money. I may wait to get it to see a review or 2 first, since the biggest thing I'm hoping for is the metal leg additions. Anything to keep Megs posed WITH his cannon without him stooping sideways or doing a split would be well worth it to me.
Although I will probably only attach them in gunmode once or twice just to say I did it, I still really want it just so Megs feels "complete". And I'd sleep in my dorkbed a lot happier at night.

Yes it can detach. But keep in mind (this goes for anyone else new here) this is just an add-on kit for Takara's MP-05 Megatron figure. It only comes with gunstock, silencer, and replacement leg parts for Megatron. Megatron only came with the scope part of the accessories shown here.
I'm interested in this kit, especially hearing about the replacement leg pieces. Not sure if I'll be able to afford it, but I'm interested.
