Since the announcement of the new MP seeker mould, the prices for the original MP seekers has dropped significantly.

and yeh I agree - Megatron is too much of a hassle. I went through the pain of acquiring one and it just ain't worth it. The MP just doesn't do Megsy any justice. His gun alt mode is alright though.



Most online stores will state in the listing whether or not it's the 2nd run release. However, it'd be nice to know if there are any differences on the box or figure to look out for
There's a few tells. The upper arm construction is a good one.

There's other changes, google it as I know comparisons have been made, listing every alteration. Not all are visible.

Any good retailer will specifically list it as being a second batch piece (Ie BBTS does).

If you're getting the Hasbro version, well, this doesn't apply. They're all the same, and all fixed from the first run TakTom (but uses a different upper arm set-up than either of the TakTom ones. A lot of people don't like it. It's a complete non-issue for me, as I think it's just fine. YMMV, of course)

It's basically down to whether or not you want to spend over $150 extra just for the trailer.
