I ordered a G1 Megatron this morning (Armada was strangely unavailable) and there was a thing in the breakdown saying QUEBEC TAXES. So I'm pretty sure they'll ship to you.
I've been watching TRU.ca for a while now and the Wave 1 CW figures go in and out of stock all the time. So take a deep breath, be patient, and keep an eye on the site. They even have an option to email you once they're available.
Incidentally, they also take Paypal now too! That's news to me anyways.

Core robot G1 style 1985 release of the Diaclone Powered Convoy that eventually became the G1 UM we all come to love.

If you want a white Prime, get Classics Magnus. If you want a white Prime with armor, get City Commander. If you want a truck and trailer that transforms into a giant red, white, and blue robot, get this thing or the Masterpiece.

Just to add some stuff that doesn't fit your definition of G1, the Japan version of G1 extended all the way to 1992 via Operation Combination. Even by "American standards", the Micromasters like Countdown was released around 1991. Does that not fit into your own definition of G1? Some people TOO should stop shooting from the hip in declaring when and how G1 began and ended. Maybe for those living in their own microcosm that is...........
And Burn, nice meme image. Most appropriate indeed.

I Would of liked the truck cab to be more boxy like the 1986 toy.
Maybe in a couple of years once the MP hype has died down we could get a G1 style Leader Magnus
How is this not G1 ? It transforms just like the G1 cartoon ? The only thing about it thats not G1 is the design of the shoulder missiles which appear to be ripped off from city commander.
As in G1 with a core robot.
In other words he means "vintage toy accurate". People need to stop using the term "G1" so loosely. By American standards, G1 simply means anything transformers related between 1984-1988. There are even G1 pajamas.

How many times has White Optimus Prime with Armor as Magnus appeared in any G1 fiction? The only instance I know of is briefly in Dreamwave. Apparently in the Classics comics he's a white Prime with no armor, but that's a different issue altogether.

Also I have to add that looking at these particular pics makes me believe the MP line did nothing to improve the scale debates argued about the classics line. Its just another mismatched hybrid between cartoon and vintage toy scale combined with real world alt mode scale that doesnt look so good side by side. The only difference is now the mismatched scales take up more space on your shelf.

I'm excited for Thundercracker. The coneheads could definitely use some more love, though.
Right. Because MP Starscream being a few heads taller than MP Prowl or MP Sideswipe is totally not an improvement over Classics Starscream being a couple heads shorter than Universe Prowl or Universe Sideswipe.

I understand wanting to emulate what the old toy did, and I think it would have been cool if the Masterpiece did this, but at the same time, they're going mostly off the cartoon, where Magnus transformed directly from truck to patriotic robot and there was never any indication of a smaller robot in armor. Most fiction has adopted this view, including the IDW comics which Leader Magnus is most heavily based on. Also, I think from an engineering standpoint, it's easier to design something that transforms fluidly from one mode to another without having to worry about separating and combining into armor and stuff, which is important for selling to kids.

You're also factoring in the cost of a $20k vs a $250k car...if someone was offering you one for free or the same price, you'd take the overpriced Euro car any day. In the case of these, the price difference isn't all that great. These leader figs are running like $50 now. MPs can be bought from $45 - $120 these days.

Other than that, this figure is great. The overall body design is faithful to the comic tank Meg's, and the head sculpt is so spot on, it damn near makes up for the puny cannon.

I can bet a dollar that a 3rd party company will come up with a canon upgrade kit for Gen Leader Megs.
In the neantime, I hope I can buy the freggin' thing locally at the norml price instead of either having to overpai for it, or being stuck to buy Armada Megs as an extra in a 2 pack.

So true!

On a different note, isn't the Leader class Megatron supposed to come with a sticker sheet? Mine came with a painted Decepticon symbol.

That Jetfire mold should be repainted as Starscream and Skywarp.

Starscream is eyeing that body in the comics, so we're almost certainly getting one of him. Skywarp will probably follow in 2016.

Well, I wasn't to hip to Leader Thundercracker, but I like it the more I see it, it looks enough like the IDW art for my taste. Though, I really wanna know more about that Harley Quinn in the background of those shots.

Why are you jumping in and out of all the bigger toys sizes Generations, Masterpiece and Third party threads. With over Fifty similar bashing hate comments a week, in over Twenty different threads a week?
Is their a reason, goal or motivation. That makes you waste so much of your time doing this?

Its just another mismatched hybrid between cartoon and vintage toy scale combined with real world alt mode scale that doesnt look so good side by side. The only difference is now the mismatched scales take up more space on your shelf.

The lower legs don't bother you? Those big gray pieces kill it for me, along with the cannon. That's why I passed on this.Ironhidensh wrote:He is here.
Yet I find myself a little disappointed. In hand, the arm cannon just doesn't cut it. Feels like a horrendous fail. It's really eating at me.
Other than that, this figure is great. The overall body design is faithful to the comic tank Meg's, and the head sculpt is so spot on, it damn near makes up for the puny cannon.

Throw him a bone tsu. This gives his microcosm of a collectors life some meaning. No MPs, only Voyagers and no crappy Hasbro releases.And anouncing to the world that he still exists.

RP. Don't be too harsh on Megs. Remember how you didn't like Jetfire? I recall you got him on sale. Iirc you now love the mold. Megs too.......really awesome1 I still don't own one but from what I saw of him in box from a local specialty shop.......looks really great. Holding out you the Tomy version (price of the import going just the same rate as the local specialty shops. You won't regret it.

I was able to pick up CW Leader Megatron a few weeks ago at my local TRU and he has since replaced MP05 on my MP Decepticon shelf. I just like him there. He's too big for my CHUG shelf, which needs to be COMPLETELY "R&R'ed"
CW Megs has grooves on his arm which I was REALLY hoping lined up with Laserbeak's talon grooves. They do not. I'm gonna like him even better when I get the upgrade kit from DX9! (thanks to TSU for posting about that in the 3P forum)

Well, I didn't think Jetfire was worth $45, and I don't think Megatron is either. I did get Jetfire for $25, thanks to another member here. I like the mold, but more as Thundercracker. As Jetfire, it's acceptable. As for Megatron, I don't know what purpose those big gray pieces serve, but couldn't they be painted at least the same as the lower legs? The gray is just too out of place for me. The cannon I could deal with, but those gray pieces are just too distracting to me. I have yet to see this figure in person, so maybe once I get it in-hand, I might think about it some more. But as it is, it's a pass.fenrir72 wrote:RP. Don't be too harsh on Megs.
