Via Rarity Of Convoy Facebook we have a nice finding: MP-36 Golden Lagoon Megatron Unannounced Takara Tomy Campaign.
This is another rare piece of Japanese Lucky Draw items and we can say it is one of the most impressive we have seen so far. Popular mold MP-36 Megatron gets a gold chrome finishing to represent his appearance in the classic G1 Episode “The Golden Lagoon”.
It is unknown how many figure will be released or they way you can participate to win one of them. Be sure we will update it when the information is available.
While you wait, you can check the mirrored images on this news post and then sound off at the 2005 Boards!

Lol it's a bit of a whirlwind of news right now, and you've been super busy sharing everything with us, so error forgiven – I just thought it was funny!
But maybe this gold Megs is indeed a leaked test run/unauthorized run of an official gold MP-36 that will be released with this newly announced official gold Prime??

Yeah so insert some “I’m stupid” meme here. Gods. I got confused with the golden megs and the older KO gold mp ten. I’ll leave this up for everyone to laugh at me haha
Liampope
Uh, except 'this' (if you're referring to the subject of this thread) is a gold Megatron, not Prime!!

They are all over Taoboa, and I believe Uncle Billy has them as well. He has them marked as customs.

Yeah, i just saw the listing on ebay for this by a US seller. I just can't seem to believe it's legit. Hmmm

I just saw a listing on Ebay.

The guy that was selling/getting them deactivated his FB account. Seems even more fishy now I think.

Was this ever confirmed or debunked?
HolyCulture
It's the same guy lol. Only one dude collects such a comical amount of prototypes hahaha. I hope he didn't purposefully scam people, and honestly I believe he did not. But, yes these did seem fishy.

The guy who offered me one does sell legit prototypes but this thing seemed fishy from the get go, if it’s the the same guy and he sold 4-5 I know of another guy in china that’s sold 6+ and this was all before the cheap ones came out.

I don’t see any believable facts that the first one was not KO either. Someone was selling 4 or 5 of them for exactly $3000 months ago. He tried to get me and all of my buddies to buy one in separate “Don’t tell anyone else about this” messages. And how’d he get them? He a staffer? His whole family got one each and gave them to him?
The whole thing stinks of a scam. If anyone bought these for that much money I am very sorry.

With the number of them floating around before the $200 ones started showing up I have a very hard time believing it was a staff Item.

From a private chat room. It's not supposed to be public info but since the pic was leaked. No point to keep it secret anymore.

Ah cool. Out of interest how do you know? Hard to find out anything about these, at least in English. So there’s 200 of them?? Or those SGC card things with #199 and #200 are nothing to do with the figure? Like someone with a gold Megs happened to go along to this SGC thing, whatever that was, and wanted to take some pics of his Megs with his #199 and #200 cards? And some dog tags.
