I recently bought the legends class RTS gun Megatron and tore it out of its packaging while driving home. Imediately after converting it to gun mode I noticed it has two horizontal pegs and a slot in his left leg that makes up part of the grip. Is he designed to be held by somebody and if so by who? I know he doesn't fit MP Prime or Megs. Anybody have any clue why he has these slots? --------------------  |

Unless you're extremely budget conscious. But the G1-coloured MP-03 Starscream is going for roughly the same price on eBay currently, so... |

QUOTE(MonsterFromMars @ Nov 7 2011, 11:06 AM) RTS Lugnut supposedly should be able to. Well, by the fact that he has big, semi-articulate fingers, anyways. He can't grasp fully around the handle (well, neither can MP Starscream. But the purpose-designed tabs/slots help that), and it's not a particularly stable grip. |

First I go by how bad do I want it then do I reaaaaaaalllllyyyyy wanna spend that much. So im gonna see what I can find cause he is really not that High on my need list. Gotta save up for a Butcher HM and somemore energy cubes so I very well might wait till spring -------------------- |

Can the 3rd party Infinity Warfare hands hold him? They fit on Predaking, and all the Energon combiners, so if they hold him, that might be a cool combo.

QUOTE(mignash @ Nov 7 2011, 12:59 PM) Can the Infinity Warfare hands hold him? Never tried. But I don't think so. The IW hands are designed to a fairly particular grip width (maybe about 7-8mm?), and I think Megatron's handle exceeds that width. Any wider than that, and the thumb will get knocked out of place, and there goes any sense of grip, seeing as the fingers definitely wouldn't be able to wrap around properly. |

Energon Scorponok's claw can obviously get around it.

Not bad, might see about picking it up when I got some extra money, so the fist works with just the G1 combiners? -------------------- ***Signature removed by Staff due to size restrictions.

I bought one of those WST Shockwaves just for my FP Bruticus to hold. Nice little figure. And yes, the included fist is for G1 combiners, G1 Bruticus inparticular because of the coloring. |

Should work on anything with a 5mm hole (whether that location should really have a fist protruding from it is your choice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-waspy.gif) ). I'm pretty sure FP Bruticus can hold Shockwave there in gun mode with his own hands, though. |
