how's your MP Megs?

[Buhawi]

I was bored and transformed him into a gun then back. I noticed All of the metal parts now have cosmic rust. the feet didn't bug me but seeing every single metal part has now rusted... Any has a cure for it? CLR perhaps?

mine's fine, no rust. great shape

[UltraMarknus]

yea mine has it too. I live with it. If one day I decide to sell, I'll fix it. I know this has been discussed...I just cant remember the remedy...but there is a common one.

[Buhawi]

I just finished cleaning mine. it worked!

Rust Killer! 100% :canada:

yay! it looks brand spanking new again.

MISB or reissue?

I forgot which one is mine but yeah. slowly it rusted. I'll check for this again if it comes back in a couple of months. the rust killer also advertised full protection afterwards.

brass cleaner works well

Where did you get the Rust Killer ? I have some cosmic rust on mine since the day I first opened the MISB box, particularly on his feet.

canadian tire. you'll see it will look brand spanking new! :)

[Autobotz24]

well, I needed to go to CT anyway for some new tools. Looks like I've got something else to add to my list.

Thanks :highfive:

Not exactly encouraging for me when I have the new one on pre-order. But at least it sounds like it cleans up easily.

Thanks for the tips all, I'll keep this in mind when I get my Megs in March which lead me to the question is the new reissue made of the same material or did they fix this issue?

[ConvoyGTR]

I'll add that after you clean it up, you should put on a few coats of clear paint so you won't have to deal with that problem ever again. :)

I used Tamiya X-22 Clear, its Acrylic based and cleans easy with just plain tap water. And it's like $3.75 a bottle and found at my local hobby store

2nd release, been on display 3 years i think, just in a glass cabinet

[Buhawi]

so is it only yours or some of the other members here don't have this? kinda sucks for everyone who bought the first issue.

[Ozrein]

I just opened my MP Megatron yesterday after it sat in storage for over 2 years. It has some tarnishing on the feet but it's hardly noticeable.

[Jeepmanhastj]

Now I'm wondering if I should open my first release Megs.
Been in storage, far from being any moisture around where the box is stored and with other MP's. Low humidity in the house.

Think it'll be bad?

[Megamould]

I have the 1st release. Every square inch of metal is covered in cosmic rust. Was thinking about just buying a new one but I might try this rust killer instead!
