G1 Megatron

[Linthart]

Okay that's interesting because AFAIK the legit one only ever came in the generic e-Hobby box (same as the one that Megaplex came in). Do you know if the box was based on the G1 Hasbro English language box or the Takara Japanese box?

The first re-issue of black megs was in 2001 in a japanese G1 box.
Black crome, black barrel and trigger. brown handle.

matches the first ever black microchange MC12 which had no chrome and blue legs.
