    Closer to Scout size. They're small.

    That said, the problem with Galvatron was that his engineering just didn't work at his size-class. Galvy being a Deluxe-sized figure was a point of contention for some, but most people hated the figure because it was poorly designed.

    MP-05. When I think of G1 Megatron I picture silver chrome finish. Hedgemon would look better if he had the palette of the Masterpiece or the G1 toy. Plus his blocky legs look so square to me. I'm sure it's not a bad toy though. They just need a holiday exclusive version with lots of silver paint and chrome.

    After looking at the Revoltech megatron & Hercules pic in this thread. The over sized ball joints in the knees & hips look so terrible.

    Any takara version of g1 megatron (1984 toy I mean)
    Not only is it a realistic looking gun which turns into the evil leader of the decepticons,but it actually fires plastic bullets,adding to the evilness

    One doesn't exist yet, imo. G1: no. Classics: big no. Revoltech and other non-transforming figures/statues: hell no. Masterpiece: close, but still no. Hegewhatever: pfft, definitely no.

    Here's hoping that the expected MP Megatron V2 will finally be the one that does it.

    I would have to go with this one, at least until something better rolls along
    MP Megs comes in second.

    As for a mainline toy that you can walk into a retail store and buy........
    Agreed.

    but i'd admit SIEGE megatron has more megatron "vibes" as much as strange it sounds.

    I've always despised GUN Megatron. Always thought thought he should have been a tank since the seekers were jets. So Combiner Wars leader class is my perfect G1 Megatron.

    I also hate GUN Shockwave but I love Shockwave.
