    Except the gun mode looks good too. I couldn't care less if it's not the exact same model as the G1.

    ...MP26 as Mirage
    ...MP27 as Sunstr....

    Or they'll just re-release Masterpiece Rodimus with a $300 price tag instead.
    The umpteenth re-release of MP5 makes me wonder if they got wind of this, and there's no new Masterpiece Megatron planned at all.

    Wanted the Bold Forms Megatron for MP since that one turns also into a tank but this guy looks better. The legs are a little short though:

    They look to be the same height but Primes crotch is higher.

    Someone can create the coolest Megatron ever, but without a true TAMPOED Decepticon symbol on the chest, the thing won't be able to stand off to OP ;)

    Only challenge is the paint apps. Not happy with xtransbot paint jobs or lack of it. They seem to be look like molded plastic

    I hate that they used those super-articulated hands. Articulation is nice, but hands like that always end up looking ugly thanks to all the little joints. Aside from that and the fact that the alt mode is wrong, he looks great. The legs look incredibly complex and fiddly, but I'd say an official one would have to be too, if they wanted to get the right leg shape. Although the legs on this one look a bit bulky and panel-y, to be honest. Still a marvel of engineering, but I'm not getting the full Masterpiece vibe from it. The scale and detailing are there, but the alt mode and transformation are not.

    The gauntlet has been thrown. Now Takara has 13 days to design MP Megatron V2 :p

    Damn. Now that you pointed that out I'm not so sure anymore. It's 50/50 between this and Bold Forms for me.

    How much do you think it'll be? Hopefully similar price to KTC's Transistor.
