I haven't had much time to work on recently but I am going to be opening him up for some other changes very soon.  | |

I like the ratcheting joint a bit better than the ball, mainly due to posability and sturdiness in a general sense, but I haven't gotten this mold to play around with yet.. Good work.  | |

Sturdiness was my main concern, I have had tight balljoints get loose on me far to many times to trust them on something like this. Plus I just love the clicking noise.  | |

I found that it is incredibly easy to make his head stop spazzing when you pull the lever on his chest and allows it to move freely from side to side. It is incredibly easy to and all it really requires is opening him up(12 screws to take out in two different sizes). after you open him up everything is taped down inside and there are two tabs on the neck peg that make his head shift side to side(see red rectangle) I cut the two tabs of and put him back together and he now can move his head freely side to side. Pretty easy and only took me a few minutes. 
Also took a picture on the other half of his chest to show anyone who is worrying about making a mess outta the gears and moving part. I am hoping all figure with these mech alive gimmicks have them enclosed and not fly out when opening as that was my biggest worry.  | |

thank you | Sorry no video as it was fixed already. Basically as you pull the lever thats on the chest megs head shakes back and forth while the mech alive gears spin and he yells "I AM MEGATRON!!!" and lights up. I think there are some video reviews that touch on the gimmick out there. Really stupid IMO and easy to fix. Quote:

good work tony! cant wait to see this guy all painted up. | I cant wait to see you chrome a megs up man, not a lot of areas to worry about in terms of rubbing so you will have a fully chromed out and transformable megs. Only thing I found was difficult to put back together was re lining up the two LEDs, had to use a screw driver to line em up in his chest so everything would close all the way up. But yes no mech alive gears flying out when opening him is a big relief. | |
