I wonder what happens if you enter the Konami code? Or if the DULLARD Kode makes him tear Original Playstation Optimus Primes head off? Reading that back I realize it's time to sleep. It would be nice if there was a Sega CD accessory that powered him up into Galvatron too. And an Xbox that turns into Shockwave. Ship our loot Bbts! I'm going bonkers waiting for this guy!
I am still amazed that this figure even exists. Mega Drive (SEGA GENESIS) Megatron rules! [/url]Mega Drive Megatron by h82blat, on Flickr[/IMG]
The Genesis version is now up for PO at TFSource. Is he available anywhere else? Sentinel - Mega Drive Megatron - Sega Genesis Version - LE1000
bbts as well, but same price. I already have the initial Japanese release and want to pick this up as well for be US decor, but $120 is kind of steep...
I'm in the same boat. I would've preferred this one overall, but I got the mega drive version cheaper from anime export. I don't think this is worth $120 at all.
Ah it is good to see that the US will be able to get it... I mean it was really the only/biggest place that had the Genesis labelling.
Thought I'd add some pics of the Genesis version of Megadrive Megatron. I got mine yesterday from BBTS and I'm really glad I held off for this version. From the initial pics I wasn't as big of a fan of the purple accents, but in person I really do like them. Also, the Genesis controller is based on a slightly later version of the 3 button that didn't have orange lettering on the buttons. Being a Transformers fan and semi retro game collector, I had to get him. I think anyone else falling into that category would want one. I do agree about it being fairly small for the price, but I don't regret the purchase one bit. I do wish Optimus was going to be a Super Nintendo, but I'm guessing the licensing cost was too high or Nintendo had no interest in it.
I sold off my Megadrive Megatron last month once this was available for preorder. Should be showing up tomorrow from BBTS with Warbotron Wirlwind.
I have the original release, if this was available at an import shop I would've gotten it. After the first release, I can't justify $120 for this guy again even though I'd rather the Genesis version.
I'm with you there. But I'm not too upset, I love my small collection of japanese games, mostly Saturn Capcom fighters, and I always wanted a Megadrive. I'm also a fan of alliteration. I can't wait for O.P. Optimus Prime. I'm playing Lunar SSS Complete to get ready.
exactly. I actually out in a preorder for the genesis version, but after sleeping on it I canceled it - I was already iffy with the original release at < $90, let alone $120 before shipping.
I definitely love this guy (outside of those feet). A shame that heels couldn't have just folded out of his toe section. Or things have just hard-pegged into position. Either way - I made a little review: brickonator's Tumblr 2: Electric Somethingorother — MEGA DRIVE MEGATRON
