The Supreme Leader, Mightron has landed
Just a short review.
I don't particularly care for DX-9 stuff or about collecting Legends scale figures. I'm all about MP and G1 and WST. But this thing is the exception. This figure is now my favorite Megatron
Let's start...
This box is a work of art. Love the throwback to the Takara style G1 box art. It's very heavy duty card board too. Not cheap. A nice surprise. Btw, all pics of the gun mode on the box had orange tape placed over them. Also the gun tip on the figure itself. Just peeled right off. BBTS is apparently gluing in an orange wooden plug
When you open it, it's just a thing of beauty.
Sorry about the blurry pic. The figure is a great representation of Megatron. His face sculpt is perfect. His chrome is stunning. Even had diecast feet.
As far as articulation, pretty decent for it's scale. The arm articulation is limited and the fusion cannon is stuck in the sideways position from what I can tell. The ball joint legs are loose already on mine but whatever. Future to the rescue.
I like how they handled the backpack.
Ok. Gun mode. Which is the mode I am most interested in. Wow! This is not floppy at all. It feels like one cohesive solid unit. The gun handle also has a rubbery feel to it. Well done DX-9. The transformation, genius.
Comparison pic with Apollyon, WST Megatron and the Megatron gun included with MP Soundwave.
And with G1 Megs.
For the price of $70, it's a little high but IMO worth it if you are a G1 Megatron nut like me. I would buy every repaint of this. Black Megatron, Megaplex...bring it!
