Heh, I mean, I do have my pre-order in because I want those extra goodies. So I'm in it, I'll just have my fingers heavily crossed that I don't have to deal with any issues!

 

Can't wait to have this guy join Magic Square's Optimus on my shelf!

These days, there's no way that a toy like G1 Megatron could ever come packaged in anything other than robot mode.

 

Yeah that is true, but so does MP36, I actually think that this transformation has some more clever techniques that that one does, it actually has a clean back.

 

think Magic Square will do an MP scaled version like they did with Prime ?

 

This guy blows MP-36 out of the water as far as I'm concerned. Clean bot & alt modes with a far more elegant transformation, at a fraction of the scale.

I'd say the odds are good.

 

Agreed 100% - I really like the feet and lower legs much better on MS than MP-36

 

When will this guy start shipping

 

Did I miss a transformation video - how do you know the transformation is elegant?

 

To be honest thats not hard to do   


That said, The pistol mode looks a bit...sub par? I hope its the prototype stage and the final product would be ace.

Transformation is at about 22 mins in.

 

How did I miss that? Thanks.

Edit: whoa. That's a nightmare of moving parts. I mean, it's going to be fun and challenging but I can see Magic Square's concerns about assembling the damn thing. I can barely get through a 1000 piece lego set without having to backtrack a step or two to fix a misstep.

 

I got a shipping notice about 2 days ago from TF-Direct.

Haven't seen many videos for him, seems to have been quietly released? Seeing a lot of MFT stuff lately.

 

It's pretty cool to think that we will soon have a toon accurate, almost complete, Decepticon season 1 cast all from the same company.

 

only if you are a die hard MS fan. did a hard pass on many of their figures. mostly in the NA camp, but even they have their figures with some poor design choices i've decided to skip.

 

That transformation is insane, but fun looking! Unless there are any mis-assembly/QC issues I'm fairly confident that MS's materials will hold up to it. Their plastic feels nigh-indestructible.

 

^ Consider me a diehard then. However, I do have the 6 NA Seekers, all the NA Megs, NA BB, MFT and DX9 Dino sets, and a smattering of Iron Factory figures.

 

LoL... then you're just a TF legends whore!  

 

^This!

 

If I saw that video before then I have forgotten it. I'm still not sure I want the figure, but that is a very intricate transformation. But possibly too much - similar to my MP-36 KO that I've transformed twice... robot to gun and then back and vowed never to do it again. I definitely look forward to some in hands English speaking reviews to see what the general consensus is on it.

 

This is the legends game, bub. If you're not sure, you want it. If you're sure you don't, you might become unsure later. Don't be so coy.
