    I'm taking the wait and see approach like @lilcarus . I need to see the finish on this guy and whether there's anything off about him (like possibly his wide set stance).

    Although I seem to be going with NA more and more for my Decepticons, so I might just stick with NA Megs for visual continuity's sake. We'll see.

    I am - had him on pre-order since he was first announced so defo getting him in. Will then decide who I want as my main figure - I've also got MFT so one of them can go in alt-mode and the other act as 'baby Megatron' for my THF MP version...

    How long did it take to get the DIY parts of eBay for those of you that have gone that route?

    i agree that proportion wise, NA does a better profile. but i'm picking up MS megs over NA. only because it has a proper back to it. :confused: 
    easy decision. NA megs, as you can't see the back! LoL

    Yes, NA Megatron may be more accurate from a dead-on, front facing angle, in a casual standing pose,

    Not quite, TT's chest had a bit of a messy back, but at least it wasn't a 2d facade

    I actually enjoy the way his back comes together. To my eye it's not egregiously kibbley, and serves as the perfect place to store his extra face. I'm slightly ocd when it comes to keeping track of accessories, so any kinda on-bot storage solution is a big plus in my book.

    I have toy and toon megs for months and literally had no idea that the extra face plate can be stored on his back. That's awesome. Thank you!

    Seems that the biggest gripe for most on NA is his back. For me, upgraded legs plus back filler kit = the perfect legends megatron (maybe the perfect megs period). That in and of itself seems worth the extra cost IMO.

    if the upgrade legs and back filler was included with the figure at the start, versus paying additional money on top of the original purchase price, then i don't think there would be as much of a backlash. but i don't feel i should be the one paying almost double the price to fix those problems. clearly it bothered you enough to get both upgrades. and good on you if you feel it's worth the extra cost… to each their own.

    As this is my preferred Legends Megs, I'm still hoping we can get a Megaplex and MC Black Walther out of this, given how redeco-happy NA has been.

    This is my favorite G1 Megs right now too.
    I've retired the GT and DX9 to the "someday get around to selling" box in the closet. I'll see what Magic Square is doing closer to the final release.
    In hand next to the NA Seekers his proportions seem good. Megatron and seekers tower over the Autobot cars and the Insecticons a bit much for my head cannon, but that is more a minor quibble than true complaint.

    Hopefully you get the repaints you want; you're right about NA being generous(in a good way) with repaints. I changed my mind at the last second and went with the toon Deco; I'm regretting a bit now and thinking about picking up the Toy deco. The toy deco for their Reflector looks really good. I'd pickup Bumblebee and Brawn with toy inspired faces/decos too.

    Since NA did Megs, I wonder if they’ll do Galvatron to compliment him

    That would be nice. But they seem to be focusing on season one and two for now. With Lord of chaos being released and Haslab Unicron next year there might be an incentive for legends scaled companies to do a few 86 movie figures though. Who knows?

    You know, I've heard that term bandied about, but I'll confess I'm not 100% sure what that coloring is exactly. Is it having a black helmet and red abs, or is it more than that?

    Funny thing, when I was a kid, it didn't even click to me that the Toy/Cartoon and the Comics versions had different colored heads. It was only when I started collecting again that the difference even occurred to me.

    Selfportrait?
    You might ask someone on Shapeways if they could carve your likeness on a faceplate that fits Na Megatron.
