    From various weibo sources -- TF Club and AlucardLee (via DaimChoc):

    Was just reading this on TFW as well. They are saying it's legit but will wait it out and see. If it follows the recent form of TT releasing an official MP after 3P releases then here's hoping.

    I know it's an early prototype but that "gun can not be straight" gets me.

    Yeah, definitely a wait-and-see approach is needed! Although the legs do look very Shockwavy, but I suppose someone else could have copied that design...

    Not sure why they decided to comment on his droopy barrel, it's not as if it's a production model or anything, but a shot of energon should fix him right up!

    Yes, "leak". How convenient Takara.

    His waist seems a little odd, but I'm digging the face sculpt!

    Added the character model sheet to the first post.

    Interesting development.

    Those hands look more 3rd party than Taktom, although It's possible they may have changed their hand design if Megs doesn't need to hold a gun.

    Going to wait and see, with all the 3rd party offerings of late we are spoiled for choice in Megatrons

    Looks like they've compromised the gun mode in favour of a better robot mode (whereas MP5 favoured a more solid gun mode). Given the nature of Megatron's show design - i.e. bulky robot who transforms into a thin gun, I think that it's invariable that a toy would either compromise one or the other.

    If this is legit I'd seriously consider getting it and displaying it robot mode with MP5 in gun mode.

    Bot mod looks pretty good, more accurate legs than Appolyon and less roided out like Despotron.

    But gahhhh that gun mode is nowhere near accurate to a P38 and no better than Appolyon. If the rumours are true, and this is a TT release, he probably will take the place of my Appolyon though.

    Here's hoping it is legit. I'll buy this over any 3P any day. Robot mode sells me way more than an alt mode does
