All. Hail. Megatron. Transformers Masterpiece MP-36 is out in the wild, hitting doorsteps around the world. G1 Megatron is one of the hardest figures to get right, his cartoon look was not based in reality and being accurate in both modes has been a challenge. Until now! This figure nails both modes perfectly. Aside from some visible cut lines in alt mode, and some non-smooth surfaces in robot mode, it’s utter perfection. I tend to stay away from full on reviews and let the pictures speak for themselves, but the official pics of this guy do NOT do him justice. He handles and poses like a Revoltech, at MP scale. His transformation is complicated but not insane. The entire figure rocks a slightly metallic gray paint, it’s not just dull gray plastic. No other attempt, official or otherwise, comes close. I’ll need some more time to let it sink in as I don’t want the hype of having a new figure to skew things, but this may be the best Transformers figure ever made, period.

Hey, you guys! I just got ahold of an MP-36, and it’s missing a part. The little metal pin that keeps a part in place. Images below. Could you guys tell me where to get ahold of one to replace it? Thanks?

i am going to be honest I have both, sell the ko , when get the original, but frankly there is not too much differences, they are too similar I get my mp-36 on and ebay sell and end having it new for 150, but still didn't feel he was worth, I feel the same thing with mp-44 they have arrive to a place where for me mp are not worth the price, sadly I wish I could continue getting the original but they have too many problems and doesn't last nothing for the price, if you can get him below 170 go for it above that, I don't think is worth, mp 44 I hope they release a std version otherwise I am happy with mp10, I grew up with beast wars as my g1 and honestly I pass on black widow, megatron and dinobot too much for what they are , I work too hard to get my money then I buy something open it and is broke no thanks I am not going through that again

Hey so I know I\'m a bit late to the party but I was wondering to anyone who has MP-36 I\'ve been debating on buying him, now I\'ve heard he has alot of issues with paint scuffing and the barrel that can be pulled straight off due the silencer being to small or just not right and the price since hes around the $230 range. Before I\'ve been hesitant since I couldn\'t afford it but now I can. The other thing is I have gotten one the KO MP-36 Infinite Transformation Emperor of Destruction and frankly I love the figure and had it for about a year now however the figure itself is just wasn\'t built to well and is deff showing wear and tear like pins falling out and so on but i\'d really like to pick up the offical version of him however i\'m just that type of person who likes to transform his figures more than just once, however I\'m a big Megatron fan I guess I just want to make sure I\'m not gonna bite the bullet on him if I do buy him, so basically is he worth picking up

They should really make a Marvel Comics repaint of MP-36 Megatron,also he kinda looks like the female characters in the Winx Club cartoon series in terms of proportions.
(Speaking of which,has anyone tried renacting scenes of the Marvel Transformers Comic Book,especially the scene of Megatron wacking Soundwave with a exhaust pipe.)

This mold seems so cool, but I cant get past the grey. its so ugly to me that its kept me from buying the figure just like Laserwave. if only they did a Black or Silver repaint of this I would probably get it instantly.
I have MP05, whom I actually really love despite his many flaws, but a black repaint of this guy would look so very good next to my MP10B.

This thing was released too early. Should have been held off so it was the 38th release. Get it.. MP-38.. 38… Walther p-38…?
Yeah, I got nothing.

Well, I now feel left out since Amzn-jp didn't send me any caution email about my MP36…
Dealer Destro
This figure was so awesome that stores had to send emails cautioning against transformation and attaching the accessories all signs of a great figure!

Didn't see the mod post before I posted last, If it's out of line or whatever Shin, delete it.
I am in the process of taking pics of mine, I just did the bot to gun again just for that purpose. And since I don't need to keep doing that, I will be content on looking at bot mode. Not that his transformation is bothersome or worrisome, but that I just don't need to again. If I feel the itch I usually transform my CHUGs.
And man, I love that gun mode though, so nice to have a gun mode that the grip doesn't keep untabbing itself.And an actual real new mold Megatron that doesn't make me want to shoot foam darts.
And I'll post this in the other thread too, but the reason some may have had issues with the Silencer not going on, may have had the Silencer barrel section turned, it does get tighter if it's turned one way vs the other.

This threads name is "TFW2005's MP36 Megatron Gallery (230+ pics!)" Not, "Who wants what in a KO Megatron". That belongs in the third party threads, as it's own topic.
May not be a vacuum, but again, want to start a discussion about a KO, make a thread in the third party section. 3P and KO comments happen, but no one with respect to the thread or the figure being discussed will attempt to start a discussion about what someone wants in a KO.
If you wish to comment or debate me further take it to PM because this is derailing the thread.
Shin Densetsu
You're absolutely right. If you want to discuss Despotron and all others that can be done here:
Transformers 3rd Party Discussion
Other than that you're done derailing this thread.
Mp36 pics discussion, carry on!
primalxconvoy
Incorrect. The thread is about MP Megatron. The two figures I've mentioned relate to that. This is because life is not in a vacuum, but rather, is connected to similar and/or related topics. If you can't understand this, perhaps a diagram would help? Possibly with crayons?
As for "Bakara", well it's the Japanese equivalent of "Hasblo", for those rare moments when those loveable Japanese scamps goof-up. I'll leave it up to you to research why it was spelt that way…
shadowfall1976
Ah, but you see, this is not a thread for 3P or KO BS figure promotions, it is a thread dedicated to discussion and a photo gallery of an official figure. No one aside from a very small loud ass bunch even cares what people want from a KO here. So here in this thread, yes, pointless.
I'm sure there's a thread already for that, or you can certainly feel free to start one in the appropriate section. And what the bloody hell is Bakara? It's Takara.

just a 4th grade word joke from some 4th grade brat.
BIOMEC
??? Eh What is that?

They switched to the toon accurate faction symbol on this one. That's why it looks different. I love it though. Doesn't deminish the greatness of this figure and the genius behind it.
