    Why be a smart ass?

    Megatron is a real world item like Soundwave. Soundwaves mini tapes are real world sized too & pretty spot on; I would expect a similar deal with Perceptor & Reflector.
    MP-05 was a slightly unrealistic thickly proportioned gun unless the 3P extensions were added.

    I don't know if you was joking or not but it just seems like everyone wants to argue all day in the forums instead of enjoy these gems.

    Not complaining, but they mention lines of dialog in the sound chip... I don't anticipate that to be Frank Welker, but the Japanese voice. Real shame.

    Since Hasbro will never release this in the US, there won't ever be a chance for the American voice to be on the figure.

    It was mentioned elsewhere (I think in the main thread for MP-36) that there will be three language versions released. Japanese, Chinese, and English.

    It's speculated that the English version may use samples of Welker's voice.

    Say what!?? How will that work? As in the same phrase in 3 languages or 3 completely different sound chips? Would love more details on this.

    Plot twist: They just re-use the sound clips from Animated Leader Megatron.

    None of this is confirmed, so take it with a grain of salt.

    It seems very unlikely to me personally.

    Would be really amazing if they made his canon available for sale separately so people could pick up the language of their choice.

    Pretty sure I'm getting the Japanese version from Nippon Yasan.

    There's no proof of Welker anything yet. So assume any sound chip will speak in Japanese only, and it won't matter what version you get because Hasbro-Asia isn't going to make any kind of change like that for their release.

    Hmm, given I've already preordered, it'll probably be the Japanese version then? Dang.

    Really? I mean you are entitled to your opinion but isn't that a bit hyperbolic? You've decided this before release? From stock/promotional images?

    Personally TT have disappointed me often enough with poor build quality/quality control(MP-9), kibble that bothered me much more in real life(MP-27) and (lack of)finish (MP-29) that I reserve judgment until I have the figure in hand....but that's just me I guess?

    Easily the most anticipated figure since the MP 10 reboot

    Thank-you both so, so much for doing this.

    So the designer worked previously on KT, Kiss, and Revoltech! Interesting.

    I really feel like this gives a whole new worthiness to the word "masterpiece" in this line, but that's just my opinion.

    Glad so many enjoyed it. Thanks again to Deruji!

    You certainly get the impression Megatron has had special focus, above normal care and almost no expense spared to get it perfect.

    Enjoyed reading that!

    Really looking forward to this guy.  Clearly a lot of effort went in to his design.

    I think that, megatron really comes with different type of language (it depends of the store), but i don't think the english version comes with Frank Welker's voice, but if it does, then i'll be the happiest person of the world.
