    If their seekers are good, I may just get them instead of Hasbro's versions. But I'll reserve judgement for now

    Still smiling with glee that a Megatron war may soon arrive. Insanity

    Yes let all go nuts over a Silhouette and start talking crap about other figures. I'll wait till I see a proto before I declare the superior version.

    Tbh I have Apollyon and I'm happy with him. But Megs is my favourite Transformer, so I might pick this guy up too.

    You've been to this forum before, right :-?

    Cupola has been pretty well received, and Apollulyon lwft a few grinding their teeth... So some of it is understandable

    I hate commitment so I asked The Chosen Prime if I can cancel my preorder hope there cool with it I'm a first time buyer. When the Maketoys prototype is shown and it just doesn't do it for me for me supposedly I can always jump back on the Apollyon train.

    Say what? MT, you crayzee. Be interesting to see how Megs and their Seekers turn out. More options, y'all.

    Just seeing the silhouette of this I can tell he is just too long and lanky,to me Megatron should be stocky and athletic.But I will reserve judgement till we see proto pics.

    Maybe this will convince me to get a "MP" Megatron? I wasn't feeling Apollyon.

    I have Apollyon. He is not a definitive Megatron figure. I will be watching this closely.

    Nothing says logic like judging one figure you don't have by another one that you do, even though all the facts say otherwise. :thumb 

    Anyways, look forward to seeing more about this and enjoying MP Megatron MX-I in the meantime.

    If smaller and cheaper than Apollyon, then it's likely a must-buy.

    Yeah it looks stretched. Need to see alot more before deciding winner. Any other conclusion is ridiculous.

    Kinda like their MP Starscream silhouette. It tells us next to fuck all apart from they're planning it.

    But aren't Maketoys G1 figures the "Ox" style that most of us Masterpiece collectors aren't that fond of (strictly from a design compatibility view)?

    I don't recall ever reading that, you may be thinking of MMC's "MP" line.

    Yeah, MMC is the one that's got the Studio Ox influence going on.
