In-Hand Images for Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-36 Megatron Collector Coin

I'm surprised that coin isn't painted orange.

Just got around to watching the transformation...dear Primus. I'm gonna love this.

"It will be up to the customer. We can offer this service for free, but we will have to open the product (the plug will not be glued). However, we believe there should be no problem shipping it untouched.

Best regards"

Are you going with plug?

That's because they counted crying as part of the process.

FYI, Australian collectors going through HLJ may have ... wait for it ... dodged a bullet (HA!) as it's been reported on the TCCA Facebook group that HLJ have reversed their decision on adding a plug for Australian customers.

Short version:

G1 Megs (quantum surge G1 Megs) > G1 Galvatron (purple guy) > Super > Ultra Megs > Action Master Megs > G2 Megs (purple and green) > He gets defeated by Laser Prime and is banished.

So where does the G1 Megatron body who gets his azz wiped by Galvatron II fit in? Same with Legends Megatron who seems to be the same Megs. Could he be before or after that incident with the Danny Elderoids?

The answer to both questions is this: The first one comes after the G-2 manga following the aforementioned banishment. And then Legends Megatron comes even after that.

In my experience the glue is applied to just the inside of the barrel so breaking the cap free shouldn't effect the appearance of the barrel unless you look inside.

True if one isn't careful in applying the product, and instead dumps the entire barrel into the solution. I am thinking of removing the barrel from the toy (if that is possible) and putting a few drops inside the barrel (if the other side has an opening) and leave it overnight. If the otherside of the barrel doesn't have an opening and is on an unremoveable hinge, I think breaking the cap free (if it is flexible and hollow like the same type HLJ used on mp5) would be ideal and then carefully applying a cotton swab of Simple green on the glue residue and not touch it for a day.

You do bring up a good point in bringing careful and I recommend anyone not to rush out and get simple green to try on MP Megatron unless you are familiar with the product and understand the consequences that it may damage the paint of your Megatron figure. Simple Green is not toxic.

I remember showing using a drill in trying to remove the reissue or mp5 Megatron's solid orange cap from BBTS and ruined the barrel pretty badly even though it was all internal. That said, I hope HLJ doesn't use such a strong glue or use a cap made out of hard solid plastic.

First you'll pull out your hair, then your eyes will be bleed, and eventually you will die.
