    I think my Throttlebots need to be on a different shelf.

    If I’ve said it once...I’ve said it 46 (million) times: this guy needs an Encore

    G1 Megs.... so delightfully shite, couldn’t find one in the U.K. as a child.... walked into a toy shop in Menorca on holiday aged about 9, and there were about 20 on a high dusty shelf.... had to beg and borrow about a month’s advance on pocket money from my parents but I finally had Optimus’ enemy, and it made me a very happy boy.
    This is the Japanese encore version, as that original G1 is now a junker due to the sheer amount I played with it.

    It took me years to get a G1 Megatron, and within a month or so the arm snapped in the usual way. He became my stunt double Megs along with my original Prime, I'd swap then out during the battle and then they'd both take the fall off of Autobot city (the staircase).

    G1 Megatron was my first Transformer followed quickly by Prowl and Gears. The arm on my Megs broke too and that was a real drag. My grandpa had a shelf for broken toys to be glued called the “hospital” and when Megatron came out of the hospital, his arm was fused in a way that made it hard to transform. The arm eventually snapped off again. Once the reissue was made available in the early 2000’s or late 90’s, I snatched one up. I’d still love to find a nice vintage version someday, but finding one unbroken can be very pricey. I do love that figure. It’s really an amazing transformation.

    Same story with my G1 Megatron, the gun arm snapped off around the screw about 10 time or more as a kid. It finally held and is still holding to this day, but the two arms don't align quite right in gun mode. I still remember one Botcon I went to, a guy I was hanging out with literally build himself a full G1 Megatron robot by searching the junk bins in the dealers room.
