Overall it’s a fairly solid transformer, but I agree on the QC issues - the scope was flat out missing from the one I received. More than disappointing.

Love the figure, but QC is lacking. Numerous paint issues and the waist joint on my figure is slightly tilted. Make sure you understand TFSource's return/exchange policy before buying.

I really like this Megatron being that it reminds me of my G1 megatron and I would rate it a 5 if not for some quality issues that really shouldn't be apparent for a masterpiece price tag. Two of the four face plates have missing paint and a long scratch on one of the chrome chest plates. These are areas that really stand out, plus the other areas where there is missing chrome paint. There was a loose piece of black plastic that was taped in the plastic container which I thought "oh great..where is it broken". I have transformed it one time to a gun and it doesn't appear to have any missing pieces. It is an awesome piece of engineering I just wish Takara took more time on the finishing touches.

MP-36+ is an awesome variant, absolutely love how he displays in alt mode... not a fan of the chrome in bot mode though. Transformed him 2x and each time busted a piece (1 left abdomen and the whole left arm joint), I just wasn’t getting it right and applied to much force, my own fault. The damage doesn’t hinder alt mode thankfully.

Came fast. Very nice figure.

Everything on this guy is amazing. The chrome and paintwork is beautifully done! I absolutely love the transformation process. Yes, it's a bit scary, but sooo rewarding.

Megatron in all his 80's toy glory, vac-metal finish, red inner legs, and original face plate - makes this the must have for any G-1 fan. Be careful when transforming - especially the gun barrel area - down bend it too forward - otherwise, it's awesome!
