    I would say the gun arm is worse just for the fact that it has NO articulation whatsoever.

    I'm liking this. :)  It helps to fix the problem I had with the original ROTF Leader Megs to begin with. If they can make a new right arm that's more movie accurate that'll be great. :D

    Ooooooohhhhhhh yes please! UFO is becoming one of my favorite after-market companies. It's great that they are willing to fix such a massive flaw with Leader Megs. This is an instant buy for me.

    EDIT: my bad, I didn't read the thread title closely enough.

    UFO = FWI? It's ironic the tiny gimp arm is such a big problem.

    I don't care if he still transforms or not as I never transform him into that hideous tank mode but it only makes sense that he can still transform.

    This is of some interest (maybe), but the figure has many other issues. It kille me because that was my favorite onscreen version of Megatron.

    On top of the arms, the leg ratchets on mine are alligned in such a way thathis legs tend to want to be too close together or too far apart.

    Neat. Wonder if they'll redo the other arm.

    I'm hoping they will if this one sells well. The other arm would probably be more complex and expensive. Maybe they're just getting their feet wet...

    Maybe, but then again, it's UFO we're talking about, the guys who made the amazing Leader Optimus trailer / ringed armory from DOTM. Surely an arm(s) won't be too much trouble. :D  Between them and FansWantIt (and to a lesser extent, Cubex), they're giving us our 3P Bayverse fix.

    Besides entire figures that haven't been made, I wonder is there any other add-ons we would want?

    Megatron's telescoping dual-arm cannon from the first movie?
