Better Image of Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-36+ Megatron

The red details on the inner arms and legs.. Is that Stickers???

I was going to say. Stickers in the MP line would be a definite no-no for me.

It looks (let me stress the word "looks") to be very sticker heavy.

I see red plastic with stickers giving it more electronic wire panel detail

The two are hard to tell apart in pictures.

Yeah... right... I recall that now because it annoyed me that Silverstreak had optional stickers, and DiaBlueBlue had tampo'd insignias

I'm fairly certain it's a TTM thing. Only it's odd because web stores (BBTS and the like) had Shocky up right away, but no sign of Megs yet

Looks like theres no paint on the gun barrel to scratch up with the silencer. They even got the c**k barrel toy feature lol. Im no fan of cartoon accurate bodies sporting toy accurate decos and heads....its just weird. Let the bricks be bricks.

But I'll most likely jump through that hoop if I have to.

MP toys released by Takara are never hard to aquire (unlike the more promotional based MPs released by clothing shops and the like). It being exclusive only means you pay more at BBTS.

I for one do not like this Megatron at all. The deco looks the part on the G1 toy because that is the G1 toy and I am glad I own it, but I dont need it replicated on a mold meant to be the on screen character. I would have preferred a merger of the two, like the face sculpt and overall look in both modes of the initial MP36 but done in a more silver deco (red or no red, not really necessary).

Anyways, I already have an MP version of the original toy, its called MP 05.

Someone mentioned it already but I don't think this version is coming with the stock and silencer.

Its an exclusive, forget discounts, its not related. Just look at all the recent MP seeker releases for examples.

I like the toy accurate deco with Chrome bits. But the lack of silencer and stock would be a deal breaker.

Don't mind the lack of energon Mace or laser sword that much. But the Prime-killing gun would be nice to have.
