    And for me a hand gun is a stupid alt mode and your already getting a g1 gun megatron from a 3rd party, what wrong with wanting one not to tread over ground that has already been done and give a different part of the fandom what they want?

    Hasbro & Takara both have already done that on numerous occasions..albeit deluxe size. Gun versions, not so much. I'll NEVER understand why people come to a thread about a particular toy to troll and whine that it's not something else.

    So this makes three different third party Megatrons in development. Hegemon, Python Tyrant and Boldtoys not-Megatron. I'm honestly partial to the Crimson Attack Tank Megatron/Python Tyrant, but it is also the one we know the least about.

    I like it. His crotch doesn't bother me too much. I just think his hands look small.

    not liking either of them. I'll wait for igear to downscale the mp megatron. that would be nice. i'd buy two of those. neither of these is a p-38, so it fails for me.

    Hegemon is definitely the better of the two. This new one just looks cheap in several ways. The arms look thin. The legs have giant slots in them on the thighs and probably do not bend at the knees. He is very blocky. And... is he wearing a skirt?

    Just a miss on this one. Some solid looking parts, but it strays too far into the look of a dollar store KO.

    Said it yourself DLX size, this has been done and given 3rd parties do read these telling them other things we want is worth while.

    Looks like you can be relieved that Corbot V is making Python Tyrant. Looks to be what you're asking for. A g1ish tank Megatron.

    Think I'm gonna stick w/ Hegemon and save the money. Pretty nice, but kinda blocky. If you don't have anything G1ish, this might be a good pick up depending on price.

    Man, the original G1 Megatron is ugly. That pic brough back memories though.
