It was the same with MP 5. How many times do you transform him from gun to robot to gun and back again? Not alot. At the momment, he's in gun mode because the gun barrel joint snapped. And robot mode, his middle section keeps flopping away from his waist.

I've been watching optibotimus for about 6 years now ever since I was 10 years old(turning 16 years old). Optibotimus was my main inspiration for becoming a collector and learning more and more about the Franchise as the years go on. When I seen this review in my recommendations my face lit up with joy considering that G1 Megatron is one of my all time favorite characters although I'll never afford this figure it looks outstanding in robot mode. Haven't even gotten close to finishing the video. I really hope we get more Mp figures it'll be amazing if in the upcoming years Takara/Hasbro manages to put out the entire G1 cast in masterpiece form.

I 100% agree that this is the best version out there. The engineering, in my opinion, t took for this figure is genius. He has now become my favorite of the Masterpiece line. Thanks for the review. It helped me get through some of the tough parts.

optibotimus Guess I jumped the (Megatron) gun on that statement - but hey, all of your reviews are great, and I know that before I even finish! I knew this figure would completely excite you mainly due to the fact that you greatly value screen-accuracy, even as far as the toon-style faction symbol. And seeing you talk about this figure and transforming it really makes my day. The only thing that worries me (nothing too personal and not criticism) is when you can't get an edge because of the fingernail issue. I remember from your MP Soundwave review that you say you bite your nails, and that makes me worried because you could get paronychia as a result. You do not want to have that happen. It creates a painful pus-filled blister at the infection site, and it's not pleasant to have. Trust me, I've had it myself. I would recommend some nail-polish like product that coats your nails with a bitterant to prevent you from biting them. It will also making transforming your figures a lot easier. Anyways, love the review, love the figure, and have a happy Easter!

Long Life Design is an award that the Masterpiece line won to represent how long it ran. Think of this as how long the X-Men or MCU franchises lasted long. As for Megs, I'd like to have a variant with a shiny silver paint job, a remolded neutral head with lightpiped eyes, an alternate Marvel Comics head with yellow eyes, and a handle that goes on the fusion cannon so he can hold it on his hand.

I think the blast effect sound in the fusion canon is how it should be for Japan, in America, the sound was just a Hanna-Barbara sound effect that was tweaked around with. It’s likely the Japan import of the show didn’t have that sound because of copyright, so a new sound was put into place.

It's been 10 years, but the wait has been worth it. Now for G1, I don't mind Megatron's gun mode. Obviously, now a days, it's goofy. A lot of people agree he should be a tank. However, I feel as if Animated, got it right, with the Osprey, like helicopter. For example, for the Autobots, most of the team consists of cars. While the leader is a truck. So for the Decepticons, the team mostly consists of jets. So the leader would be, a military helicopter.
