    Yes!!!

    I'll be honest, I really don't like Apollyon that much. A great effort, but not for me. This looks very promising

    WHAT?! Is MT planing to release the whole G1 cast in the shortest time?
    Let the Megatron wars begin! Personally I wish they would have gone with a Galvatron figure, but ok, let's see their version of Megs.

    No doubt the value of XTB Megatron will skyrocket as its supporters like to claim. Great investment choice guys!!

    Megatron wars will be a glorious site to behold. I just hope it's not only gun Megatrons. We need some variety...

    Where are MT suddenly getting all this stuff from? Hope to fuck this doesn't delay Guardia and Tailgate any further.

    And they said no other 3p was gonna do a Mp Megs! I'm now having doubts about my Apollyon preorder.

    Don't worry, Starscream, Apollyon owns. He's one of the best figures in my collection and you won't be disappointed.

    As for this guy, the proportions look a bit odd to me, but we'll have to wait until we see more to really judge.

    Wow, if this is decent (as in well made, fun to transform and looks the part) it will totally replace Apollyon in my collection.

    Better hold on to that money, boy! Let's just say I've owned a KFC product, Ollie, and this figure was so bad it made MP-09 seem like it had Quakewave levels of quality!?

    More pumped about MT's anouncement of making MP seekers but will definitely keep an eye on this one.

    Of course that's what they said, you need extreme justifications to buy an XTB product.

    I am not going to say that this version will own, but MT has the engineering and quality. Now that this has been announced, the price of the XTB version can only go down. May as well wait.
