    Nice.
    Did the blast take the gun barrel off his back too, or just an error?

    That Megatron is a KO. Sometimes he doesn't have his faction symbol on his chest.

    Oh, heck yes. A GIF of Optimus Prime's infamous "finger of doom" at last. Thanks, Sam.

    Also, hi everyone. I'm sorta new here, but not really. I had an account years ago but it's since been long forgotten.

    I'm super hyped for this new OP v3. The more I look at it, the more I want it. I'm seriously on the fence on whether to sell my MP-10 or not to make room for this guy. I'm trying to have a small collection of 5 MP scale OPs. I've got MP-10, Fans Hobby Gunfighter II, GCreation Ultra Maxmus, MPM Optimus, and I also need Fans Hobby Power Baser.
    But whether or not to replace MP-10 with this guy? Decisions, decisions... It's tough because I love my MP-10.

    Yes! After Megatron's fusion cannon was knocked off his arm and the trailer was destroyed, Prime said, "It's just you and me now, Megatron!"

    My God, that animation is bad... but I loved it! :lol

    You're the GOAT, @Sam ! Much needed GIF for TFandom :) 

    @Sylent , I gotta disagree, brother. That's some kickass dynamic Japanese animation for a syndicated US show from 1984. Maybe you've forgotten what other shows from the time looked like (He-Man, GoBots, Droids, Superfriends, TurboTeen, etc), but Transformers and GI Joe were some of the better animated shows of their day thanks to Toei (but no thanks to AKOM and the Filipino studio haha).

    Are we past the point of when Megatron got his full spread reveal in q3 of '16? At this point we'll probably get OPv3 no sooner than April of '19. The crickets on OPv3 and Hound since that toy show have been deafening. Dying here!

    Did Prime just shoot Megatron’s fusion canon off with his finger?

    Yup. It's his laser pointer. Lol. I know that was cheesy. Good catch. I suppose that is just another animation error

    Silly that was the last blast from the cannon right before it blew up.

    Yeah, from the looks of it, Prime was supposed to flinch when the turret blew up, but someone botched the editing. The teleporting mountain that appeared behind Prime as he fired was purely intentional though. One of the subtle touches of Japanese studios back in the day. I believe it's called "the editor is underpaid and misses his wife."

    Fuck it. Keep MP-10 and get this new guy as well. You'll probably regret selling your MP-10.

    Part of me wonders if Prime or Hound are getting a bit of a design tweak because it’s been so long. Probably not. It’s more likely that MPM-7 got bumped up in the schedule and caused delays.

    Seems to me like it's his trailer's battle platform that does the shooting.

    Oh, I agree! For its time, it was groundbreaking animation, but looking at it today in 2k18-colored glasses, well... Megatron AND Optimus with no faction symbols, the disappearing hologram mountains (was that Hound's work?), Prime's laser pointer finger, Meg's sickly right arm, blocky Cliffjumper... :lol  Doesn't change my love for the show, though. :)
