GPS, didnt think about that...

 

i have the original special black version, i always felt it had a 'richer' look than the normal chromed megatron. a favourite toy.

 

the original black reissue has teh same sparkly plastic, the peg on the hand (the one you pull the hand out with) did break off on one hand, then again ive TF'd that thing many, many time since i got him about 6 years ago.

 

Very disappointing.  

I actually ordered this thinking it was the all-black one again. (Many dealer sites were showing pics of the old one.)

If it happens to get nabbed by customs, I won't be all that sad.

 

It's worth it, but not as good looking as the original eHobby Black Megatron. You could always buy the #6 TFC Reissue Megatron
or locate the Encore Reissue if you prefer the G1 style box. In reality, you can't go wrong since its Megatron in all of his G1 goodness.

 

The original colors are so much better...can't so much get into that doo-doo brown handle. But it is cool that it comes with the little plastic pellets! You wont be seeing these for sale in the U.S.!

 

Ugh. I was expecting the all black Megatron. ::cancells preorder:: Looks like I just saved $100.

 

Aww man....... there goes the thought of buying him.
Sigh. ~*  

 

The previous version wasn't all black, it was like this one. The Microchange one was all black, and it had blue instead of red.

The black chrome is like the chrome on the original black reissue. More of a gunmetal color then black.

Do you have a side by side comparison picture of the two? I've owned the original eHobby Megs and the chrome was definitely a black chrome vs. the standard silver chrome that is shown in the first post of this thread.

 

That's an effect of the flash.

I don't have both, yet. But I'm willing to bet they are exactly the same as the people who had the original complained about the same thing how it was very light.

Here is some pictures of the original. Note that the chrome is a gray color and not black.

The new one is probably exactly the same, just with the flash making it lighter.
