Whether it's worth the price tag is really a subjective thing, and the price varies a lot depending on pre-ordered or not.
Heh I paid 30% off list for this thing but would definitely pay the full list price if I hadn't pre-ordered it. The price tag would've been harder to swallow but personally I think it's worth it so non issue for me.

Can anyone confirm what this guy is on about with the barrel?

I actually will just judge on RRP. Otherwise if you had a 50% off the piece, you would say "why not?"Originally Posted by doublespy
From there, is a matter of whether this piece is worth at the RRP. I shall not discuss further till I touch my figure and put in my thoughts and vote.

Opened him tonight. Wow, after all these years I finally have a G1 Megatron! This guy just has an incredible presence about him in every pose.
There are a couple tiny paint chips on the side of one arm so I can definitely see how he would chip during transformation. And just reading through the instructions its clearly a very involved transformation. I'm happy just leaving him in bot mode and have him supplant Shockwave as the leader of my MP Cons.

You're not gonna transform him?Cos that's one hella expensive Action Master!
I've actually been thinking about translating the instructions as it is a pretty darn difficult transformation. Would others be interested or are you happy looking at the pictures and referring to YouTube videos? It would be a laborious translation - which I currently don't have time to do right now. Probably in the next school hols, but I'd only bother doing it if there's sufficient demand for it.

voted only if.
I am sorry but this figure is only solid in robot form. I appreciate the effort
but if you paid RRP at $350, it doesn't feel worth it.
Seeing the various people who broke, scratched and damaged this piece, I dont feel it is a $300 worthy price tag.
Now the plus sides,
It is more scaled to mp-10
It is well balanced in robot form
The colour is alright but one might argue this is a + version rather than normal release.
After attempting to transform him in 40 minutes I gave up as it was taking too much of my time trying to be careful and know what you are doing, and this include looking at instructions and watching youtube.
I love his hands and is shame that MP-10 isn't that standard.
I do like him in his robot form but for gun mode, I don't think is worth it.
I will stop here as I wont compare this to another toy. I am not unhappy with this toy but at the same time, I don't think is worth it at RRP. This excludes all the trouble you need to go through to obtain one.

A great representation of Megatron. The paint job surprised me, I expected a flat grey but the subtle gloss made for a good balance. Unsurprisingly his transformation is complicated and I think he has the highest risk of breakage of all the MPs. But the complication IMO leads to the best bot/combo out there, coming from an owner of Apollyon.
My only real gripe is the way the extended barrel is force-fitted into the gun barrel. Having read stories of scuff and scratches, I wasn't game to put the barrel all the way in. For all the complications in the transformation it seems like such a lazily simplistic way to fit an essential piece.
