Such photogenic nonsense. This Sunday, we've been combing through some of the many images surfacing online featuring the latest addition of the Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece line: MP-36 Destron / Decepticon leader Megatron! The second iteration of the character in the line brings a number of discussion points too, like the 'tidyness' of the back, the waist articulation, the size of the head, and its inevitable comparison to other similar toys.

Hopefully, this round-up post of images selected from the likes of GenmonTCracker, Alfes2010, U.Nem Studios, Hong Yi, Rogue03 and a couple more unsourced will help you figure out if this is the Megatron for you!

I do agree it blows the older MP Megatron figure away with ease.

I honestly don't think Megatron's head looks too big at all. Seems perfectly fine to me. I guess next to those pin headed knockoffs it looks big.

We all have four excellent choices for Masterpiece Megatron, why must we insult the ones we don't like? We all need to just be happy we have so many choices, and aren't forced to be stuck with whatever one company offers.

I thought it looked too big BEFORE the comparison shots with the others.

Didn't you insult the one you didn't like when you forcefully canceled your pre-order?

I've already owned, with actual money, two of the four - and personally Megatron is the one that will make the cut on my shelf. I already sold off the blocky one (can't keep em' straight - Mightron or Despotron). My Apollyon has a QC issue which means I'm stuck with it. Oh well, he's my second favorite anyway.

Saying I don't like something, isn't really insulting, it's just giving an opinion. What I really don't want to see, is people being attacked.

Well if that's the case I don't see anyone insulting any of the third party Megatron's, I just see a lot of opinion sharing.

What a kibble-tastic, panel lined nightmare.

Pre order officially canceled.

That's an insult.

I get that you don't like Megatron, but you can't really say anyone has gone as far in their choice not to get a 3P figure over the real thing. However, you seem to push this idea that 3p stuff is "as good or better" than Takara stuff...which, I don't necessarily disagree with, but just prefer to have official and "usually" superior product.

No no no you misunderstand that blatant slandering isn't an insult it's only an opinion so it's perfectly fine and in no way hypocritical :roll:

If it is merely an opinion (which isn't an either/or proposition, mind) then where are the opinions from people insulting the 3p figures?

From what I read, I wasn't seeing insults, just opinions. My view of things, for those who took it up to debate this claim, which is valid considering the looks of Facebook over this Megatron.

I need to get another figure to go with Artfire for the free shipping. I was swaying around seeing if TFsource actually got some movie figures (and the Broadside pre-order is gone for some reason now) but then started thinking about other MPs. Saw they had G2 Sideswipe for $70 and they still have the original Primal, and that Megatron is really awesome looking.

Just wish I had more money. If I could somehow get $200 from something random and unexpected, I would buy Megatron. No doubt.

And Sheetz here has the option to add vanilla or cherry syrups to your coke as you dispense it. I add both to coke, Pepsi, and Mountain dew. Works beautifully with all 3

Anyone know why Megatron has 3 blue circles on his belly plate? He's usually depicted with just two, the larger, upper central one, and then a much smaller one below, typically offset towards the right a bit. I can't find any reference where this pattern with an additional small blue circle towards the middle bottom of the belly is used besides MP-36 Megatron. Is it to give him an actual belly button, lol? :lol:

Thanks, Sabr! I knew you'd come through for me, lol! I was looking at tons of on screen examples of Megatron from the original cartoon, and various G1-related toys, and couldn't find all three blue dots. Figures it would be on the character model. I'm sure that tiny dot got omitted most of the time in practice when drawing the actual episodes. Could you share your source for these character models with me? I'd love to have them for reference in the future. I have a hunch there are more little oddities with deco details that Takara has produced that can be explained by comparing them to the character models rather than the actual cartoon footage.

Indeed! The access of more source materials Takara has which gives them an edge over the 3rds.

Granted, these all appear to be fan-colored versions of the cartoon models, but here's where I get them from - http://www.transformers.kiev.ua/index.php?pageid=g1encyclopedia

Also, here are a couple of screencaps of Megatron with the third dot in the cartoon:

Heck yeah, Garboil would be good too - let's not forget a ton of other easy redecoes like Glit/SG Ravage that'd be so easy and so nice to get. Howlback's just kinda special to me, hence why I pointed her out

Not that I'd mind getting a cute little blue laserbeak with her. More obscure repaints for the ragtag teams!

Getting the Bookcase re-issue was awesome, way back when but when I got the Encore in the G1 style box? Magical! And the only figure I own MISB. (Though I do have a MOSC Superlink Paradron Medic.)
