Red was a very minor part of Megatron's color scheme... but it stands out because it was the only actual "color" he had.

That particular shade of red just looks cheap, that's the problem I have with it.

ORDERED :thumb

the plastic looks so cheap. i admit that a more g1 color scheme would have been a better choice, at least or version doesnt look like KO quality plastic.

 

for once, hasbro has toped takara.

Although (disclaimer) I only have about $5 worth of love for G1 Megatron anyway.

But, if you could buy the Classics mold redeco'd in a green and purple camo scheme...

TANK NOT GUN

:rofl & :pfx

 

 

If I were to pick up a version of this mold, I would definitely go with the Henkei version. Hate the chrome on the chest but the G1 colors work a lot better than the Classic colors. But still very much meh.

 

Now, if Tomy would release that CL tank mold in G1 colors :drool

Needs more red but otherwise not bad.

 

Hate the chrome. Random and out of place.

 

Even AS a futuristic space gun there is no mistaking this for an actual firearm. Seriously all Hasbro would have to have done is give him an orange cap and it wouldn't have even mattered how Megatron was painted. It's all cap guns around here are required to do and any number of them look more like an actual gun than Maverick Megatron here.

On the other hand, Megatron's robot mode *is* pretty sweet and not at all goofy / lanky like his G1 self. Aside from the wings, of course. Point is, all that bulk really helped him in the coolness department IMO.

 

*final analysis: prefers Hasbro colors on this guy*

i disconnected the boat wings and repainted my Hasbro Megatron.

He's a shell former so i get it - and i dont mind that now he's a partsformer - once the gun is snapped onto the body it stays firmly so its no big deal that its detachable.

 

Bot megs (minus the wings) is really fantastic and looks great next to MP5
