    Get both. You can find G1 Megs for cheap nowadays.

    I'm another Apples and Oranges guy but if you can have only one then MP. If you can afford them both get them both. I never knew that G1 Megs fired little bullets so I picked up a TFC reissue. Glad that I finally have a G1 now.

    I like them both. I got the TFC Megs for Christmas, and my MP Megs came in the mail yesterday. Both are very cool in their own way. Bot mode goes to the MP all the way, however gun mode, I like the feel and look of the G1 toy. It's all in what you prefer I guess.

    well it depends on where you live and who you order from...if your customs ppl are nosey as hell i won't suggest bbts because they apparently include a warning letter that say "this can be misataken for a real gun"....and that will get him seized by customs....i got mine through tfsource and customs didn't even bother to check mine...and i several other ppl who got theirs from tfsource up here had the same experience

    I got both, but I prefer the little G.1 figure. May not be show accurate but smells of nostalgia. MP-05 is nice but personally i think he's to brittle to handle, mines stored away.
    But anyway if you're planning to spend $100 on MP-05 you might aswell add $30-40 for the Encore reissue Megatron also.

    I love the original version, and obviously the MP is awesome.

    Personally I have neither, but I would actually sooner buy the G1 figure than the Masterpiece. I fiddle with my transformers so the fragile MP Megatron wouldn't be a good choice for me, plus I don't like the design of the legs in robot mode. The main reason I'd choose the G1 figure is for the much more size-accurate gun mode.
