    Default Browning?

    I've always wanted a Browning figure, but I've always been a little too tight ass to pick one up.

    BUT, now that I've got munnies to spend, I can't find him :/

    Little help?

    Yeah I saw him at a BIN price (with postage) of around $200... couldn't resist at that price.

    There's not too many around, Springah. There's always the risk of customs grabbing it. I wouldn't have gone for it without the permit to back me up.

    Anyway, as autobreadticon mentioned, I have indeed reviewed Browning.


    Eagerly waiting for Masterpiece Meister

    Awesome figure. I really like him. Far better than G1 megs in execution.

    *nods* the Browning mould should've been used as Megatron.

    What??? The Browning toy's transformation and engineering is about as complex as a mini-vehicle. The leader of the Decepticons needs to have the most complex, challenging and biggest toy (with accessories) possible in that premiere year of Transformers. It was the most impressive looking figure on the shelves of the Decepticons, in the bigger packaging, heaps of accessories, almost twice as big in robot mode, better looking gun mode (Browning has a yellow thing sticking out the top), a self-contained robot mode (Browning needs fists added), and wasn't a mere 5-second conversion.
    Browning is good and all, but Megatron is the much nicer and more playable toy.

    I disagree. I rarely if ever transform Megatron because he is too flimsy and fiddly. I agree with the additions and sizes, etc.

    Look at G1 Prime though. Fast, fun transformation, despite being very simple and requiring add-on fists. I transformed him back and forth for ages as a kid! Megatron, on the other hand, spent a lot of time on the shelf.

    Browning is better proportioned than Megatron and can shoot a simple "bullet" or fist, rather than the bullet system Megatron had. And his arm, minus fist, is a gun, like Shockwave. Megatron's sight becoming his weapon never worked for me. He also has a less pronounced.... um... codpiece...
