That's fascinating to see those side by side. My own headcanon is confused now as to what Megatron should look like. The new one has REALLY captured the vibe of the original toy art - it says Ladybird to me, UK #17, #21. I love it, really love, it. But it's SO old school in look I don't think it would fit with any of the other Masterpieces.

My head cannon isnt too clear either. Cartoon Megs was my first experience of Megatron, but given the five minutes a day during school holidays I wonder how much that actually was. The Ladybird books and other merchandise were constantly around and then in the 90s when I got my hands on those early comics and eventually the original toy too.
I guess I accept either version equally, but I really dont enjoy cartoon accuracy applied to Masterpiece figures they just look bland. For that reason the new version is appealiong a lot more than the original did.
Having said that I am relieved that it comes with the cartoon head. I would like to see how it looks with the toy chest though, if that works I may have to figure out a way to get it.

I know Im being overly picky here, but if Im honest I still kind of wish there was a version of this mould that was more of a blend of the two versions. Maybe all the toy detailing and most of the additional colours but applied to the cartoon grey base colour.
Like I say I know Im being picky, but I don't think either version would sit that comfortably alongside MP10. Cartoon Megatron is too plain. Toy Megatron is way too bling.

The only true Megatron is Action Master Megatron.

I mean, yeah. His alt mode is so useless that he's the first actionmaster.

That really is a nice looking figure. I admit, if I had the money, that would tempt me to double dip, and pick him up as well.

If I had the money I'd get him. He's MP-10/MP-17 level awesome. Great blend of G1 toy, cartoon and Ultimate G1 Version. The head! I love the head! And the red!

This is what my head should be saying... but in these Sunbow focussed days of the Masterpiece line I look at those two and think, well yes, he'd be great, but he doesn't fit in with the others.

Well, fitting into an existing or on-going collection is JUST as important as figures being the correct scale relative to eachother, as we ALL know and accept without prejudice or divergence.

I was going to allow myself a pre-order of MP BW Megatron, but this guy has just seeped into my subconcious and occupies a lot of my waking thoughts. I can't really justify getting both though, so... what to do? Do I really pass up BW Megs for this? Do I..?

Buy this instead and have fun nights out with the difference in price between the two!

You make a convincing argument. I could afford at least a pint in town with the difference..!
