Megs' fragility is way overstated. | |

A true masterpiece Quote:

I agree. The only thing that an MP Shockwave could possibly bring is more articulation and a bit more detail here and there. Otherwise, it's one of the few G1 Transformers that is already close to MP-scale as it is.
EDIT: On second viewing, G1 Shockwave is definitly in scale with the MP Seekers (and the BT/Alt series is in scale with them as well). However, MP Prime and MP Megs are a bit too big in comparison, IMO. If there were an inch and a half shorter, they'd be perfect (or, if everything else was an inch and a half taller, lol). |

His legs look spindly and people have broken him the first time they transform him. He is a mix of metal and plastic, which I also think serves to make the toy less durable.
I just don't see anything good about this other than someone saying they got an MP version of Megatron. I just don't understand... Anyone else think he's not worth the money AT ALL!!!
I might pay $30 or $20 for that figure. | cause hes geewun dood
honestly, i loathe this guy, worst $80 i ever spent, Transformed him once felt like I was gonna break him and put him in storage | |

He is the only TF that I use the instructions for, but that's because of the breakage potential + the money I paid for him = I want to be sure I don't break him. I've only transformed mine 4 times so far, but the last time I transformed him I know that if I transformed him a bit more I'd be fine. I'll probably lock this in once I go through and clorostop him ^_^.
Is this figure (not a "toy", like many TFs imo) without his cons? Of course not. Does that make him any less cool? No WAY. I'm very thankful for mine, and I have to say that if one gets this figure, they have to get the add on set:  (US quarter used for size comparison)

I can see people's points both against and for MP05. He definitely is fragile and has design execution flaws (i.e. transforming him is hell on earth). He looks cool and poses great though.  | |
