    I think Henkei Megatron is still pretty hot now. ;)  Even though Combiner Wars got a new bigger Megatron, I'll always think of him as a gun, which is why I prefer the Henkei figure. Still, I'm sorely tempted to replace him with that sexy Titans Return figure....

    Classics Megatron is still one of my all-time favorite figures. Even with the 'wings', the figure is undeniably Megatron. None of the impostors can say that.
    I wish the gun wasn't underslung, but that's the only bit about the figure I'm not fond of.
    I have the Classics version, and while I like the colors, I really want to get the United one at some point.

    I think the United line actually got the best deco of this mold.

    He does. I just personally couldn't bring myself to purchase a third version of the mold after buying the Classic and Henkei version. Henkei is good enough, though.

    yeah it's beautiful. I got the united when it came out cause the henkei was probably the most expensive it had ever been. retail for united megs was pretty awesome, and he's still an amazing figure.

    sold my nerf classics megs off pretty quick after getting him.

    Wow, I had no idea about this united version, I had seen that coloration but assumed it was custom...a little wind taken from my sails.

    United Megs is pretty hot. I love this mold even though it does have its drawbacks. It was a great update to G1 Megs.

    I loved this figure. I've sold it now in favour of concentrating on MP but the Henkei version was fantastic at the time.

    I have the Henkei and United Versions.
    There are parts I really like about both but I think United edges it.
    Once you get the wings off, it becomes a great representation of Megatron. My favorite version of the character. nothing less than a gun alt mode will do for me.

    I have both, and the Classics version from Hasbro. What baffles me a little is that there are pictures online of the Henkei version (inlcuding in-hand pics in the TFW2005 galleries) with the forehead painted correctly, but every one I've ever seen in person has the black "unibrow" paint job like Hasbro's. United getting it right was what finally sold me on buying yet another deco of the mold.
