He's total love.
Utter and total love.
From his cocktails to his robe to his brain cap.
Sure he's a little small. And yeah, I'd have loved for him to be about 1 or 2 inches taller than MP Convoy.
But this figure is total love.
So every damn thing I wanted at SDCC is now on sale online at Hasbro!
All the stress and f'n trauma I but my friends through in San Diego to get this shit and I didn't even have to.
And what's worse, the cryptic prior message I got didn't even tell me if they scored everything on the list or not so I can't even buy crap online because they may have already bought it!!!
Grrrrr...
Geez. I honestly expected this for MP-05 and was shocked with TakaraTomy released a Megatron.
Now honestly, I have to say, I can't see myself getting this unless it is discounted.
MP-03 Starscream is the biggest feels-ready-to-break-at-any-second figure I own. There's a reason I have done much more in the way of photographs or even transformed him back into a jet.
He just feels too fragile.
For $100, I just can't justify a repaint of it when I know it will have little if any die-cast.
With TFs now doing so poorly in Japan, it is nice that TakaraTomy continues to try and release something new a la Megatron but a big $100 repaint is even too much for my stupid addiction.
Oh... the by-gone days of MP-01 and MP-02 in all of their deadly 10 pound die-cast glory!
I've got to assume that they are all the same and believe me, the orange tip that had to be placed on MP-05 Megatron is absa-lootly-posa-tiv-ly no big deal.
I feared it might be glued into the barrel but nope.
I popped Megatron's barrel cherry in three seconds!
Booyah!
Look! No orange tip!
For the $100 I spent I wish he'd frigg'n stand!!!
Masterpiece Megatron is the 1843rd Transformer that I've acquired.
