    What's the price of the voyagers? And did they have the turtles classics in the catalog by any chance?

    Dunno man, I cashed in a few months ago and went with Hegemon and didn't regret it.....he looks fantastic with Hercules. I'll just do a shuffle again when/if v2 comes. I would assume he'd be worth less once I new one is announced but I could be wrong!

    G2 Megs is pretty much the size of the new MPs now isn't he? A bit of modding to make him more poseable and jobs a good 'un :thumb 

    Probably both......both Prime's need their enemies!

    The voyager figures are €32 which is about £26, undoubtedly that will be rounded up to £26.99 or higher.
    There are turtles figures, the new ones from the show have individual codes and there are some other more expensive turtles figures but they have lights and sound effects. I know onthing about the new turtles line for all I know these could be the classics figures but I dont think so.

    Hope that helped.

    In the words of Uncle Bryn : 'Oh I'd LOVE to see it!!'

    seriously - MP Galvatron would be awesome. However I'd like to see them right the wrongs of MP Megs first. But its such a pain, surely there's going to have to be some sacrifice in one mode or the other.

    Mine... um... died some time ago. Lost a battle with a G2 Beachcomber and his deadly ally - the gap between kitchen table and tiled floor.


    And I'd love to see a Galvatron, sure. He'd after go against the eventual Optimus, though - MP Rodimus died too.


    God, I sound like a horrible collector - destroying toys left right and center. I'd like to point out for the benefit of the jury that I was actually about nine years old when Megatron died, and MP Rodimus's arm ratchet disintegrated of it's own free will. I just went to it one day and found his arm on the shelf next to him. All of my other toys bought since adulthood have survived perfectly well (though I'm terrified of Assaulter's ratchets), and I had very few toys as a child so they got... substantial use.

    I know and he's Beautiful - especially compared to MP5. Seriously I looked at my Megs the other night and had a moment of realisation that he's the worst in the line. 'Masterpiece' is actually false advertising for Megs. At the time, I just couldnt help myself, it was a MP megatron to go against MP01 Prime.... the kid in me won me over. But in the cold light.... was a rushed decision.

    If anyone's interested, Kapow have put up the pre-orders for Beast Hunters Deluxe wave 2. Ordered me a Smokescreen. Also, Voyager Predaking is listed as in stock.

    I want a G2 MP Megs too, but for me, G2 megs in G1 colours would be my ideal Megatron, but I'm sure the fanbase would implode at such a notion. Honestly, I've always thought the idea of a big, fierce leader turning into a little pew pew a little silly. Nostalgia is great and all, but there are times when it's ok to brush it aside a bit and make way for progress!

    Sorry but he looks awful with MP's imo, Megatron should be the biggest not smallest. And Hegemon is a cheap looking figure imo, the design isn't great and that silver plastic looks really bland, with swirls in the chest on most of the ones i've seen.

    We need a MP v2 Megatron, it's bound to happen. Just depends on how long Takara wanna be d***s about announcing it.

    On a kinda of MP note, i'm still unsure whether to p/o FT03 or not, he's due in a little over a month but i wanna hold out for any timely Takara announcement really, been watching stock levels and should be okay for another week or two....

    Horses for courses, as a stand in he is perfectly acceptable until the real deal comes :thumb 

    I have him on a shelf with Hercules tho and with a lick of paint (in the detailing on his stomach) it's an awesome match:

    MP-05 is literally the same size as (a stock) Herc, he's just wrong with everything other than MP01.

    Personally, I wouldnt be surprised if MP Megs doesnt get a second G1 version. I am not sure that a second version could actually improve on the original enough to warrant the sales, especially given that bad guys sell really badly in Japan. They might go straight to a G2 Megs or a Galvatron though.

    I have Revoltech Megs representing G1 on my shelf, with the ever loyal RTS Lugnut watching over his shoulder.

    He'd be in scale for start! I'd hope he has perch points on his forearms for MP Laserbeak too.

    Looks great with Hercules and classics no doubt, just looks wrong with MP's imo.
    The isn't any G1 Megatron toy that fits with the current MP's imo, i just hope one happens eventually.

    It'll happen, just a matter of when.

    He's too big for classics, looks like MP05 stood with MP seekers. It's an odd one, like they did him this size to try to appeal to two markets.

    That Hercules is awesome. Is that the actual head included, or an extra?

    The more its talked about the more I want an MP Galvatron
