Maketoys take on Megatron

The choosenprime have good pics and is out on pre order.

So who wants this?

He looks a little chunky for my liking, like Megatron on steroids.

I'll stick with my Appolyon until TT come up with something better (yeah right)

Actually that's what I felt about Appolyon and this actually looks right.

Lol, funny how people see things completely differently. A side-by-side comparison would be interesting in the future.

I want this. Nice and beefy just the way i like them.

The thing is this version the gun also looks right.

Anyone seen the dx9 version? Ben's collectable has a video review on him already, minus the back pack and lack of waist swivel he looks pretty good. But still not enough for me to replace my Apollyon.

This maketoys version looks just as good as the dx9 version but they r adding their own twist to the g1 aesthetic much like their gundog, in which I'm not the biggest fan of.

They all look good overall, but Despotron's proportions remind me of the Revoltech Megatron which isn't as G1 cartoon looking to my eye. From the video review, Mightron looks very solid and way less intimidating to transform than Apollyon. From the waist up he looks good, but the legs need more curvature. Apollyon still looks the best to me even if he's a little stumpy.

They're all tiny issues, so by the time Takara's rolls around i'm sure it'll be the best, and my Apollyon won't serve much purpose then... so another 2 doppelgangers isn't exactly money well spent for me!

I don't have Apollyon so am seriously looking at DX9 Mightron or Despotron. Both look good but leaning towards Despotron as it doesn't have ugly back kibble but is bordering on looking more like something from Generations than G1 MP. Decisions decisions

Is weird the dx9 doesn't appeal to me one bit. I can get an Apollyon but I think this one feels better posing ability. Yes I think is a bit beefed up but not in a bad way. Not sure I should pre order now or wait on colour test shot.
