Masterpiece Megatron Sucks

no i don't own it and what I said was more of a question. For over $100 or even around that price I expect better from a figure...a masterpiece no less than a flimsy unplayable bot.

Some of the factors that go into a figure being good IMO are posablity/articulation which this figure (SEEMINGLY) doesn't have
durable which this figure (SEEMINGLY) doesn't have
Show Accuracy...here the figure is semi-there but not nearlyasaccurate as the prime figure
On top of all that, people were saying that the metal corrodes? and this figure is always in the top 3 at least of being the most frustrating to transform.

So really the thread was begun as an I don't get it sort of thing after all this seemingly sucking factors.

I don't own it but have held it...Flimsy, if it tumbles it might break...That doesn't sound like MEGATRON!!! to me.

I think he's a great Display piece.

Now, a toy? Never.

I have had no problems transforming MP Megs. I actually find him less frustrating than RID Sideburn. As with any expensive toy; if you don't handle him stupidly, you will be fine.
Also, I've had no rust issues at all.
As for posability:


When you look that badass, who the hell cares?

I don't have him yet but OH I so want him he is kick ass!

i had him but sold him i'm not that into g1 megs but i like the toy it was cool i would not say it sucked

just a display piece for me, or more of like an expensive model. he looks good enough in robot form, no real need for me to transform him. but I do love him so.

firstly, u gotta accept that its not a toy...the 'playability' factor is zero..u dont buy a masterpiece figure to play with, imo...as for show accuracy....i mean..they say its technically impossible to have a realistic gun mode transform into the very same megatron in the G1 cartoon..theyve done a great job as it is, i think...and it looks accurate enough..
maybe they couldve bulked up the legs, but maybe that wouldve screwed up with the transformation...i agree on the point where its articulation sucks...but if u have held the figure and seen it for urself and still dont like it, then maybe u should pass on this....
but i advice u to get it..

In no way does he suck. Sorry, but if you can't transform him without breaking him you're a .

Only complaint is the heaviness of the arm canon. If it was lighter it would give him more playability.

Consider this:

Fine crystal plates shouldn't be washed in the dishwasher. Does that make them suck?

Masterpiece Megs is a model and a display piece. That he transforms from gun to detailed robot is the art of the figure. And as with all fine art, he is not intended to be handled roughly, or by obtuse, ham fisted commoners.

And I'm fairly certain that if any of the Masterpiece toys tumbled and fell to the floor, they would break.
