    It's cheaper, has more diecast, and it's actually taller. I display my figures in robot mode, and that extra height makes all the difference, especially when put next to any MP Prime.

    As someone whose experienced this, and the official, he actually has a few physical differences, such as the fold away leg tab, extra ratchets in his hips, diecast thighs, slightly longer legs/ hip skirt parts, and some pins not being visible making it look smoother. But aside from that, he's pretty much the same.

    Mp megatron has to be one of my biggest fan favourite mp toys after prowl and sideswipe and shockwave-soundwave,while the x-transbots appolyon was a really good reimagining of the iconic g1 design,this toy handles it even better,the transformation is honestly a really big miss,even with that it manged to give us a solid gun mod,i honestly prefer both x-transbots appolyon and mp megatron

    • @alexharvey8291
      @alexharvey8291 2 роки тому

      apolyon looks cool, but i would only ever get it to go with mp10 and never transform it, the gun is just weird proportionally. i ended up with a really nice ko mp36 and its honestly my favourite masterpiece, everything is nice and tight and the transformation is extremely intuitive to the point where i can do it in under 4 minutes. i really dont get the overcomplication complaints

    It's kinda fun. I do have the first release of IT-01 and he's covered in paint. It's noticeable because the paint has metallic flakes into it and it . And the paint is insanely durable. The only place where it was damaged-his face, because I'm heavy-handed and scratched it while transforming him into a gun. In terms of joints, there were issues with mine too, but they were only in feet and backpack. Thanks to a filler piece for backpack, it stayes in one piece. IT managed to make a fixation peg for his ab crunch for more stability and ratchets for his hips in outward motions.
    In my opinion, this KO is superior to the original.

  • @Reeping
    @Reeping 2 роки тому +17

    A little warning. Watch out for the hipskirts, on my figure, they were really brittle, and the entire right hipskirt broke apart. Way beyond repair. And, the fusion cannon has issues keeping attached to the arm, although i dont know any fix for that. And that his hands are really loose, and keep on falling off.

  • @shinobuthelazy
    @shinobuthelazy 2 роки тому +8

    I actually got this guy off of EBay a while ago! I had some similar issues with the back and elbows, but I’ve also had loose knees, a missasembled stock, and the chain for the mace weapon is scarily tight in there so I can’t switch it for the articulate one, one thing especially you need to look out for is the butterfly joint, mine is cracked on its left side, despite all this, I still prefer it over the official because the paint chipping issue is just insufferable at $300+

  • @Robowolf-fq5wv
    @Robowolf-fq5wv 2 роки тому +8

    I ordered this figure from the same site too, I have the same issues with mine aside from the waist, and the pin in his right hand along with the fingers attached to said pin were missing right out of the box.
    Aside from those things and the mace being glued in like yours, I love having a MP styled version of Megatron

It did have the same issue with one of the feet like yours does, the right shoulder is a bit loose, and has the same issues with the back. I’ll have to see if I can fix those. Other than that, it’s a really good KO.

  • @DragoonMS
    @DragoonMS 2 роки тому

    It looks like yours has the regular red LED; mine came with a purple one...for THAT particular cannon. That particular cannon's sound setup is set like this:
    1. (Rearmost position) Transformation sounds. The transform up DOES cut off, though.
    2. (One click) Frank Welker clips, straight from possibly craptastic recordings of the show. One of the clips also cuts out kinda bizzarely. The one you couldn't understand is odd, because I heard it easily: "Parting is such sweet sorrow...farewell, Autobots...FOREVER!!" (That's like my favorite of the Frank Welker Megatron voice clips that are in there)
    3. (Two clicks) Clips from the Chinese dub's Megatron/Galvatron voice actor. They seem closer to the Japanese clips, too.
    4. (Frontmost position) The blasting sounds, also from the show.
    Yeah, so there was another cannon that IS a 1:1 KO of the Takara one. Transform sounds at the back, Japanese voice clips in the middle, crappy blast sounds up front. These were reused from the D62S Galvatron (Anime Color Version) reissue of G1 Galvatron. I don't think Takara intended to do that, but they were left with no choice, because the guy who voiced Megatron & Galvatron in the Japanese dub of G1 (and The★Headmasters) died shortly before production of MP36 was finalized...which is a smurfin' chilling parallel to how the voice of Jazz in the US, Scatman Crothers, had died shortly after The Movie hit theaters but before season 3 production began. 😮😮😳😳🤯🤯
    It really *DOES* look great with other MPs. I have one setup with my Con Alliance consisting of this guy, the Eagle KO of MP52 Starscream, that MP49 G1 Black Convoy KO, the Hasbro Year of the Goat Soundwave and his Minions (a set that's so bad, it oughta be considered a KO), the Toys Mage KO of MP43 BW Megatron, and the MP46 Blackarachnia KO, with the Jinbao oversized Gravity Builder KO behind them, facing off against the Allied Good Guys (MP44 Optimus 3.0 KO, MP27 Ironhide KO, MP17 Prowl KO, Hasbro Asia MP18 Streak (aka Bluestreak), MP19 Smokescreen KO, Takara MP12G G2 Sideswipe, Hasbro Asia MP40 Targetmaster Hot Rod, Takara MP24 Starsaber, Legendary Toys LTS03C MPM3 Bumblebee KO, & that MP32 Optimus Primal KO.

  • @numetheus
    @numetheus 19 днів тому

    A. The switch on the very back is not a safety. It's the hammer. The hammer smacks the firing pin, which hits the primer in the bullet. All double action handguns have a hammer. Safety is always on the side. B) Extending a barrel always adds an advantage. When the bullet is fired, it increases velocity and spin, improving accuracy. With a short barrel, you always lose pressure because the gasses escape from the front. Longer barrel allows propelling to burn more completely and provides more compression to propell bullet forward faster. Although in a handgun, it would definitely decrease mobility because you are moving a longer barrel around. In COD, you add a suppressor, which makes bullet quieter, but also increases barrel length. Suppressor will always adds a lot of extra frond end weight than a longer barrel like you see in the old movies like Dirty Harry.

    About 2 years ago, I bought a "KO" off Amazon with a gift card I was gifted for Christmas. He's not bad, although some of his tolerances are a bit whack. Even came in a box that, as far as I can tell, is indistinguishable from the original, although there was a giant dead moth inside the box... I suspect the seller was selling figures from the MP-36 factory that failed QC.

    I just got this figure from aliE and have the same issues plus a very careless paint application and a lose screw in the backpack. Also realise after reviewing many videos that the sword is different in color like mine is almost purple while in other videos is pink. That let me thinking if this figure is a clone or a copy. Like a ko from a ko. What do you think?

    My one is absolutely horrible. Loose joints and even the arm rachet isn’t tight so he can’t hold his cannon up properly. The lack of paint also makes it look alot worse. I’m looking forward to that rumoured MP-36 reissue next year.

  • @seanmc7128
    @seanmc7128 2 роки тому

    I got this guy a couple of months ago. Mine had the same issues as yours except the hips. I used crazy glue to fix the loose hinges/joints. But I also have trouble with the batteries staying in place in the battery compartment. I took a thin piece of cardboard and folded it and stuck in the compartment and that seems to work. I also have the same problem with his mace. I thought it was just in there tight and used a bit too much force and broke it. I'll have to remove the plastic in the hole so at least I can use the articulated piece in the post.

    I just got this from AliE and visually, this version of Megatron is by far, one of the most cartoon accurate ones out there. But it definitely has it's issues. You pretty much nail most of them in the video. There are others. The chest piece is a pain to move up and down. If you have a display where you keep him in robot mode, it's perfect. But to play around with.... definitely go with a different version or....ugggg...Hasbro.

      Not necessarily.
