    i really think the only thing i really dont like about him are the hands... really weird hands.
    i wonder if is it possible to exhange those with KFC soundblaster hands?

    Thanks for that daim.

    Unfortunately, I'm probably going to be like so many others and now "wait and see". Excellent timing for (intentional) leak by TT if it is them.

    I even ordered mine after the news broke. Either says I'm crazy or that I'm thoroughly convinced by now that I'm going to love mightron.

    I think you made the right move on getting mightron. Because who knows when megatron 2.0 will be released next year, could be a years wait. I plan on picking a mightron up sometime around the end of the month.

    I'm so glad I ain't in the market for a megatron cause wow man both these figures are dy-no-mite!! I keep flip flopping on which I like better. Just saw side by side despotron and mp10 so now I'm thinking that one looks better

    The Takara reveal took a little of the shine off this for me... But not much. Can't wait for TCP to get this in. I'll keep them both. Might go for Despotron too. G1 Megatron is my grail character since '84.

    The only thing I don't like about this guy are the hands as well. They just look scrawny and weak. Even weaker than this.

    I was so happy about my purchase until the news this morning. Some characters, I'm willing to have two copies or molds of...I've got doubles of the ark crew to have a "transform and roll out" shelf as well. I don't really need two Megatrons though and I'm almost certainly getting the one we saw this morning. Do I open Mightron and keep him as my Megs for a bit or just keep my team leaderless for a while? That'll be a game time decision.

    I have Apollyon, and I saw the news on the rumored TT Megatron yesterday. I love them. The toy looks amazing. Today I bought Dx9 Mightron. Why? Because it also looks great. I have waited for Masterpiece Megatron for years and now we have 5 awesome looking toys. I also plan on getting Despotron. Megatron is one of my favorite characters in G1 and there are multiple great looking toys to collect. Win win all round.

    I think the HasTak Megatron 2.0 leaked pics has the proportions wrong. Too large head on a small body. Makes Megatron look puny like a malnourished man. 3rd party figures got the look right. I like my Megatron to look 80's boxy while getting the face right. So Mightron is still the best Megatron.

    I get Despotron and Mightron's names confused all of the time. For that past day I have been super excited that I was getting DX-9 Mightron from BBTS (I have ordered both). Tonight when I realized that MT Despotron was in my pile of shipped loot instead of Mightron, I was disappointed. I thought Despotron was going to be a November release. Sigh.


    That's an amazing feat for a figure that only came out in March 2015.

    They sure did throw Despotron across the finish line didn't they? Don't worry, took me a few to realize it wasn't Mightron as well.

    Mines just left Asia... :D 
    Can't wait, especially after receiving the piece of junk that's called the Shattered Glass MP10 KO. That definately left me shattered that's for sure.
    But I know Mightron will make me feel much better about why I spend so much money on this hobby !!!
    Even had TT revealed theirs months ago, I would've still bought this sucker, DX9 is the embodiment of G1 style, finesse and quality !!!

    Hasbro is making Shattered Glass Optimus Prime and it looks so much better, and comes with a trailer.

    Just FYI to people, cause their post was deleted after the board purge yesterday, Toydojo has mightron in stock and ready to ship @ 129.99. Not the best deal (think rubadubspawn on here has it for 119), but they ship like a rocket. Mine is already on track for saturday delivery.

    Really these days, for me it just comes down to dojo and tcp in terms of who gets something first. Love both these places.
