I got mine on Monday of this week: He's outstanding and is very visually impressive. I got a modded one from www.tfsource.com, but the modification came out with NO problem at all. See? ;D

Can you show a pic of him transformed to the pistol? This guy is enough to make ME want to buy them, and I don't even care much for transformers! (except Soundwave...I love him and his little panthers/birdies...so cute)
I looked at the link - is that orange plug the Liberal Puke Device (or LPD) that is supposed to make cops not shoot you when you walk around with it? Or, does it serve a purpose?

Or, does it serve a purpose? He really is a nice looking figure isnt he? I always kind of thought the original megatron looked rather goofy in robot mode... He certainly looks little like his cartoon incarnation. But this masterpiece version, is just about as perfect as you can get. Original Megs, with his stupid looking mini arms. Compare that to that beautiful image in the first post. Shoot... The closest thing I could find for the gun mode was an un-painted one.

Get him from HJL or www.tfsource.com and yes, you can pull it out for sure. BBTS, has a very orange cap that is supposedly glued. No one knows yet if it can be pulled.

With the proper application of leverage, any glue bond can be broken! Thanks for the lesson on the plug, that's so funny. This thing sure does look like a P-38 I used to have! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_P38

Hee - great find, counterpunch! I'd agree that the robot mode looks much better in this incarnation than in the original. I think the original's face was too spread out, even for the cartoon version! As for the plug goes, it is an interesting compromise between the desire to have an authentic replica and the desire to keep kids from getting shot through a combination of the realism of their toys and their own silliness. If BBTS super glues the plug in, acetone could also be a collector's best friend I rather like how in your pictures, Megatron's holding the plug defiantly in his hand.

It looks exactly like the real gun (I dont think I have ever seen a real P38 before), right down to that clip thing on the bottom of the handel (which Im pretty sure the original megs doesnt have). A little off topic... But you know what handgun makes me think of. Water guns, or as I used to call them, "squirt guns".

Megs looks great, hope he comes to North American shores, not really in the mood to order it. Oh, BTW thats a great collection you got there.
