    This is the group shot I was really waiting for as I imagine most of us on this thread have those guys in hand(sorry about being a little late commenting on these pics). Megs will be with my 'cons anyway and it is a bonus he looks good with MP-10. What hands did you use for the custom work?

    Just wondering, why does everybody have the heel spur things out on the seekers? I think it looks less toon accurate and its not really needed as they'll stand fine with those things in. I know its the official transformation but me personally, I'm not a fan of it.

    I don't mind that Megs, but he still has no place in my collection heh.

    It looks kind of like he has a Lego block on the inside of his right foot?!

    In scale or not, I prefer MP Megatron.

    You've posted some awesome pictures of him in the past.

    ... Nah.

    Just, nah...

    There's a suitable third party effort in sight. This Megatron isn't even on my radar.

    Now the Armada version, for whatever reason, I think I could adapt him as some randomly named tack-on to my collection.

    Cannot believe within the space of a week I'm almost half way through my "big 8"

    Really like this figure, he has so much character in both modes, love the eye swap gimmick, however the other gimmicks I could do without to be honest. Nice transformation too, I love how the tail section folds away.

    Great pickup! Two things I did not realize at first when I got this guy - his kibble wings pull out and angle up in bot mode and he has a waist swivel. Such an amazing figure.

    *edit* Some guys the Diaclone homage hatch on his back in dino mode.

    Very nice. The more I see this Megatron the more I think he is going to fill in until Apollyon arrives.
