I just ordered the THF version after watching reviews of comparisons, one video being yours. Not sure if I need 2 versions to have a toy version, because now your gonna need a toy version of MP Prime to go with him. I do like that red paint in his inner legs.
Yep just purchased it after watching your review I was waiting for someone who spoke English to review it and now that I've seen your review I can't wait to have it
It's odd that they went toy accurate with the paint yet didn't bother to make the "cheeks" (in reality, the original sides of the toy helmet sculpt) of the toy face black.
Gr8 review Ben. Ive been waiting for someone/anyone to review this particular Meg's. I really do dig the paint job they gave him especially the inner red thighs but I sure hate the pink'ish face they gave him. I also wish there was no insignia as I'm personally not a fan of the toon'ish insignia and rather put my own Ocean wet label's. Anyways I hope you do a video with all your Meg's once you get the customs done.
Why are you saying "hairy" chest plate? It's not a representation of body hair but a representation of some engravers that we can find on custom stainless steel real handguns... And Megatron is one of them, a Walther P38 Stainless Steel custom to be exact.
I still think the Infinite transformation Emperor of Destruction is number 1, than the Magden...but mann! I must say that Red looks phenomenal, I didn't even know I wanted the Red on Megatron until I saw this one ...definitely both are pick up.
Paulina Sendra MP-36 plus is out in the market but so expensive! However, that is a true Masterpiece. I think I will go for that one for my Masterpiece Megatron.
This one just needs a black head and he'd be Marvel Comics Megatron. I noticed you jumped on that painted head on Facebook, likely for this very purpose. I'd have got it, but I didnt want the face it came with :P
ben wheres the mp-36 ko voyager size? this would work great for it. can you work your magic and get someone make it please my mp10 v optimus and grimlock lonely lol
the white face really bothers me for some reason. I feel like if it was a darker gray, kinda like the silver around it but completely flat/matte, it would look better.
I've watched robot chicken's Megatron, and I can never look at his crotch trigger the same way again... not especially when you stick his finger onto it.
The toon accurate symbol on the toy chest and color of the toy face are a major turn off. I guess its just a matter of if it would be easier to add red legs or repaint a face and chest.
I dunno, man...aside from that sick color scheme, it doesn't look like it works very well in gun mode. I think that it could be the frame is bent, not so much something you did wrong. Still gonna have to go with THF, personally.
I am getting this version. However, I am going to remove/paint over the toon faction symbol and use a toy/normal reprolabel version. The symbol was one of the many things I HATED about the awful official version (TT should have given fans the choice). I also plan to repaint the toy face a slightly darket shade of grey (maybe), as I think the white is too jarring/bright. Thanks for the review!
Shut up w your ko's. Ko's suck. I understand you ppl are poor. So am i. Thats what makes the hunt and saving for the legit masterpiece stuff worth so much more when you get it
Hasbro, Takara/Tomy have put out some real shit products, in the past and currently. It's only expensive because they are the companies to license the brand but doesn't mean everything they make is good as gold. Most KO's end up better since they take the time to see some flaws and fix them and most 3rd party figures are just better all around. I personally look to buy a the figure that best represents the character in detail and quality and lately those are coming from the 3rd party/ko manufacturers. A lot of reviewers have shown comparisons of the shit quality in the original side by side with a KO while being amazed by the KO at the same time. I'm not saying this is the case every time but they are very good product most times.
6:25 I love that he's pulling the trigger, great job ben :)
I love that they've included the english voice
Great review as always! I’ll be sticking with my sights set on IT-01.

Oooh you no wike Engrissshhhhh. Haha
"This is the last one, I promise". Heard that before. 😅
#SorryNotSorryLol
Really love the red on the waist. Wish i know how to paint it on my IT-01 that i ordered
The "frame" part of it i mean, if that makes sense. The front part.
I like that they painted the logo on the battle damaged chesr
I just wish it came with a back panel painted in accordance with the figure's coloration.
Paul Spurgeon true.
TheBd62 Has anyone ever noticed that there is a trigger coming out of Megatron’s........
Yes
Literally everyone for the past 34 years.
It's odd that they went toy accurate with the paint yet didn't bother to make the "cheeks" (in reality, the original sides of the toy helmet sculpt) of the toy face black.
You do a great job on these reviews
Haha! All Megatrons, all the time! I'd love a group shot
This one is great love the g1 toy face
Bought the IT and the THF version.
And I'll end up buying this...BECAUSE IT'S MEGATRON.
Ben what paint would you recommend touching up a scratch on the MP36 KO

Can't find these anywhere!!

So we can say this is a custom chest plate
Exactly what I think every time someone says "hairy", ridiculous!
If only this guy came with a poseable mace like the official masterpiece figure.
Completely Normal I thought he did.
TheBd62 that he does. I stand corrected.
I still think the Infinite transformation Emperor of Destruction is number 1, than the Magden...but mann! I must say that Red looks phenomenal, I didn't even know I wanted the Red on Megatron until I saw this one ...definitely both are pick up.
Ok I’m getting this one
Love all 3, Im going with THF tho.
Awesome review! You see the new mp-36 megatron mall yet?.. basically the same as what you have and that old g1 look lol i already preordered mines.
I couldn't find the link for the trigger and did you have to paint it
Ben, what colour crotch piece ( from the colour choices) would be best for THF? Metalic plastic? Polished Metalic plastic?Thanks :-)
He doesn't come with back cover?
where do you find them
Where does tf direct ship out of from?
The repaint of MP-36 appears to be slightly shorter than Infinite Transformation MP-36.
Are they all the same price? (Except for the masterpiece obviously)
Would you rank this figure other the IT-01 version?
over*
The last one? Wait for the mp 36 plus that one will be the new g1 toy version
Paulina Sendra MP-36 plus is out in the market but so expensive! However, that is a true Masterpiece. I think I will go for that one for my Masterpiece Megatron.
@@mcdus78 me to, on robot kingdom its only for $200 us dollars and on ebay over 500 us dollars. It is a true masterpiece
@@mcdus78 I have the normal ko aready
👌🏼
This one just needs a black head and he'd be Marvel Comics Megatron. I noticed you jumped on that painted head on Facebook, likely for this very purpose. I'd have got it, but I didnt want the face it came with :P
Which MP prime is the same height as MP36? just bought MP10 its way shorter than Mp36. I believe MPP10 is way taller too?
Zhorell Ski It’s just the way they are.
I guess you got the downsize mp10
ben wheres the mp-36 ko voyager size? this would work great for it. can you work your magic and get someone make it please my mp10 v optimus and grimlock lonely lol
No one wants voyager size crap. Buy that rubbish at walmart or sell your midget toys
the white face really bothers me for some reason. I feel like if it was a darker gray, kinda like the silver around it but completely flat/matte, it would look better.
Looks like those...kabuki masks or sometning Haha. Like boo megatron hahahaha
This is KO or not?
KO, really well made though. Easily on par with Takara
Just can't decide between the IT and the repaint
Quality wise they're about the same. All comes down to how cartoon accurate you want yours. Magten is as close to cartoon as we can get currently
I've watched robot chicken's Megatron, and I can never look at his crotch trigger the same way again... not especially when you stick his finger onto it.
The toon accurate symbol on the toy chest and color of the toy face are a major turn off. I guess its just a matter of if it would be easier to add red legs or repaint a face and chest.
Good lord - what is this, 5th KO?
I dunno, man...aside from that sick color scheme, it doesn't look like it works very well in gun mode. I think that it could be the frame is bent, not so much something you did wrong.
Still gonna have to go with THF, personally.
very nice, just not into the pasty face though
Ben you should sell me one of your mp-36 figures.
Jake Hoffman have fun with tje comments your gonna get
raja rage what do u meam
Mean
Is it my imagination or does the gun mode look kinda... droopy?
RobsteinOne I see it too, when the silencer/extension is attached.
I wish I have that, its hard to find a job when you are 17 years old
Jacob Gonzales cut grass or something like that.
The front of the gun looks as floppy as an Elephant's trunk..
Needs some viagra
One seriously expensive knock off. Anyone that thinks they're repainting legit takara Tomy mp36s is crazy.
I am getting this version. However, I am going to remove/paint over the toon faction symbol and use a toy/normal reprolabel version. The symbol was one of the many things I HATED about the awful official version (TT should have given fans the choice). I also plan to repaint the toy face a slightly darket shade of grey (maybe), as I think the white is too jarring/bright.
Thanks for the review!
boi get some lotion for them hands
I thought it was just scroll work, that you see on rifles an trucks.... Not hair.
That time when megatron have a gun trigger between his legs
Shut up w your ko's. Ko's suck. I understand you ppl are poor. So am i. Thats what makes the hunt and saving for the legit masterpiece stuff worth so much more when you get it
My KO seekers are far better than my takara coneheads.......
