I don't see a thread dedicated to ranting/loving Voyager Megatron and I think one is probably needed as a buyer beware.........:(

I was talking about Voyager Meg's with JaySmith the other day and he had mentioned that he'd heard a lot of the same complaints about the figure I was voicing from others.
1. Arm Cannon: The arm cannon is very poorly planned on this version of Megatron. It has a strange seperate "arm" type deal to attach it which makes it look really silly. It almost gives it the look of a "gatling gun" more than the cartoon/G1 appearance. It also makes posing the figure extremely difficult.
In the end I found that the best way to go is jamming the a small part from the cannon into Meg's hand so that it sits in more or less the right place. I spent about an hour trying to make it look decent........The cannon arm thing is visible in the full picture, doing nothing it was meant to do.....
2. Megatron's Expression: This is a bit more minor but something I still found really frustrating. On the toy image from the back of the package Megatron is shown with his mouth closed in a frown. The above picture shows what facial expression actually comes on the figure, a totally different one than is shown on the packaging. Picture on packaging=:D , mouth on actual toy=:(. Check the full picture where the facial expression on the package can be clearly seen.
I'm really not that pleased with this figure because of the above problems. You can't move the thng at all without his arm cannon falling off....:(
Anybody else having issues?
