    BA has just finished his work
    and couples of things he mentioned:
    "Yes, my Megs is skinny, you know he's got messed up in the movie so he was starving, lol
    All right, there are some minor issues:
    01 Yes his head is small and I will redo it
    02 Where's his cape? I don't konw, maybe he trade it for energon
    03 Can he be beefed up? Well that will doulbe the size in the truck mode
    04 I don't know about the mass production, I'm just a fun boy who made his DIY here
    Thanks for watching
    "
    Yeah so we don't know if wj or anyone will mass produce it but I will beg for it as hard as I can.

    Damn, thanks for the update soundwave1987! Major kudos to the designer for acknowledging feedback. Those two big front wheels just feel misproportioned, but the rest of the figure is onpoint. I'd definitely consider buying this product if it was ever released

    Tell Wei Jiang, let's tango.

    I'm glad he acknowledged the small head, because it looks terrible. Otherwise, the figure is fantastic!

    PLEASE get Wei Jang to mass produce this!!

    Id imagine (if wei jiang make this) then another comapny like dr wu would make a hood and cape for him (just like the vest for aoe hound.
    This needs to be made and we need a voice loud enough to be herd as they need to kjow the demmand for these amazing movie figs,
    I also need that human alliance soundwave mod or add on kit as that mod is a total game changer for the soundwave figure.
    Im also sure that any company who pick this up, understand that m01 commander is the new scale size (just the same as mp10 is to the takara madterpiece line)

    Yeah, Wei Jang declining to produce this would be akin to burning money

    Dude.... I'd buy that in a heartbeat! Looks amazing! Please mass produce this!

    I wonder how the truck mode scales next to Leader Optimus. I know that DOTM Megatron has the same problem that G1 Motormaster had in that it presents a scale conundrum because it's the truck cab plus tanker trailer compared to just Optimus Prime's solo truck cab.

    I'd get this just for the awesome truck alt mode.

    Wow.... He looks great, but I was hoping he'd be the same size as the movie Optimus he did...

    He used the oversized KO of the DOTM Voyager Megatron as his base for this figure so the final product might be downsized.

    Yes, it's easier to work on a figure at one scale, preferably larger and then copy the parts and "shrink" it down.

    I hope that's what happens here. He's about 18 inches right now and that's really tall, even for the OS Evasion Prime.

    He's not 12" though, he's around 18"

    And, he is a great figure. No doubt.

    While the robot mode does seem a little weird I can absolutely forgive it due to the truck mode. That this is glorious! And considering that it's the only representation of DOTM Megs that's not voyager scale it's absolutely outstanding! I would love for it to be downsized to Leader scale. That's my ultimate wish . . . But if it is sized to be in scale with M01 Commander I can live with that. Just please please please let this be mass produced in some way. This was by far the best version of movie Megs and it deserves to have an amazing figure!

    And I don't understand why one thigh is different than the other one, while in the movie, both are identical
