    Still an awesome figure. May need to pick up a second one so I can have one at work and one at home.

    That's what I did. I find myself giving more attention to my work desk Megatron than my home megatron.

    I really like Siege Megatron but I would love it if it had an alt mode that I liked more. The bot mode is great, very evocative of G1 Megatron. Solid plastic, hefty in hand, and has all the visual cues that ring true to me when I think of Megatron. His tank alt mode just doesn't do it for me. I'm not expecting a handgun mode or anything but the alt mode feels kludgy to me. On the other hand, I do like the transformation design, especially how the legs transform.

    As a Gundam fan, I like storing the sword gun thing(aka HPR Telescopic Laserstrike Launcher) on Megatron's left shoulder like the GN Buster Sword II:

    All in all, a very good Megatron that, for me, is all about the bot mode.

    Eh? Personally, not really, but that's because the gaps there don't bother me.

    Now, find me something to fill in the back half of his alt mode and I might come running, dollars in hand.

    Hi, I don't know if this has happened to anybody but the Decepticon logo on my Megatron was scratched a bit. I've had him for a while. I do play with my toys, but I don't really remember directly using my fingernail to scratch it or grind his chest against a flat surface. I feel like Megatron and Starscream's insignias are most likely to be scratched because I think they are applied differently compared to Soundwave or Megatron, or Sideswipe.

    No probs with symbols on my Siege figs. But at least this scratch does not look bad with the battle damage.

    Why do I feel like the logos on Sideswipe, Hound or Optimus are better applied. I know I could feel it but I don't know if it is true or not. Maybe the material used to apply is different?

    Was there ever a running change with tighter hip joints and a tighter neck joint, like the G2 version?

    I think it's the plastics used. It's not hard to scratch away the battle damage on Megatron.

    Here's hoping they release an actual G2 version based on, you know, the figures that people actually owned. Between the Pulse version and Combat Hero Titans Return Megs being Japan-exclusive, I feel like I'm being pranked.

    I'm thinking about getting stickers to replace my scratched Decepticon logo. This will be my first time using stickers for my toys. For those who have applied sticker to Megatron specifically, how do you feel compare to having the original logo? And what about those who like to apply stickers in general, how do you guys feel?

    . You might as well use alcohol to remove the battle damage then slap on a fresh decepticon sticker on him! I personally went for a bigger logo and i really like it.

    I’m watching the price on this guy. He’s likely to be the last figure I buy in this line. I’ve already picked up the others I wanted.

    So I've managed to get my hands on a decal sheet and have replaced the old logo without having to scratched the rest of since the decal fits perfectly! :)  I also added a smaller one for the tank mode :D

    I finally broke down and bought this guy on sale at Target last week. I've had a chance to play around with it, and I'm definitely contemplating some modification. Anyone else think that, maybe, one could cut down the panels on the ankles and then rotate them fully to help fill in the back of the tank mode while also not ruining the bot mod?
