    again.. all i was trying to do was put the legs together to form the guns grip. no sh-t! I watched a couple of vids on your tube, and i ended up working it out myself.

    i was just scared of breaking it to make it fit. I even grabbed a screwdriver to start taking apart to make it fit lol.

    unbelieveable...

    It is certainly the single most difficult toy to transform. Even as an experienced collector, it took me about 1.5 hours to transform it.

    It's not banned in this country. Laws for gun Transformers are state/territory based on vary between regions. In NSW it's not banned, but it is prohibited. This means that you must own a special permit to have one, and there are requirements for having said permit (e.g. safe storage requirements). megatron.net.au

    Yup. I find G1 Megatron more fun to play w/ in gun mode anyway (being closer in scale to an actual Walther P38). Also G1 Megatron comes w/ the silencer-barrel and stock which MP Megatron doesn't.

    Yep this is definitely true, it's actually a pretty smooth transformation once you get the hang of it. Unfortunately if you're like me and only transform the guy once in a blue moon you do tend to forget the less intuitive points of his tranformation and it's like you just got him yesterday again

    Congrats, its hard to find one these days, especially because of the prohibitions set on the item here in Australia.
    I myself transformed mine twice. First when I got him the first time - which took me hours as well, but not as much as 4 heheheh. The second time was when I changed his legs and hip plates with the third party upgrade kit. which made the figure more bottom heavy and thus less resistant to toppling over. It made the figure more heavier really, plus with all the extensions, feels so satisfyingly more like G1 Megs. Shouldve taken pics then, ah well. Im not too keen on transforming him any time soon, as he is at the back of my display case, in a rather non-standing-out place in the collection room.
    Wanted AM partner Vanguard, Myclones Dirge, G1 Victory Leo, e-hobby Dark scream ( the black version), e-hobby Magnificus
    Parts- AM partner Basher-side guns, G1 Actionmaster Elite Windmill's blades[I][B]

    Was playing with a used MP Megs for the first time ever. His ankle ball joints are loose and thus have trouble trying to make him stand upright in bot mode, let alone trying to strike creative poses. Keeps on falling forward. Is there a remedy to rectify thus?

    Yep, adding a few layers of either clear nail polish or super glue to the ball itself then put back in the socket works pretty well with most other figures with ball joints, though not really a permanent fix. I have noticed with at least one figure I have done this on needs a new coating.

    There is no real long term fix that I have heard of yet.

    Though for my MP Megs on my display shelf, I use a doll stand to keep him from falling forward

    I'm never getting my MP Megs out of his package again. He seems so fragile just standing there, especially with the Scope/Fusion Cannon putting a permanent lean on him. I remember when Megs was new and YouTube reviewer Dyansis broke his Megs in half doing the review. Super fragile figure.
