Gentlemen and Ladies, I need your advise.
A number of years ago I purchased a MP-5 Megatron off of Ebay. It came with the “Upgrade Package”, and the only things against it were that the box was damaged (which I didn’t care about since I intended to display) and Kremzeek was missing. It also had die-cast replacement parts for the legs/gun grip, which I though weird but kinda cool.
When it arrive, I was disappointed by the blemishes on the chrome (which I now know to be a common problem) and the quality of MP-5 in general. It seemed rickety and transforming it wasn’t as fun as I expected. But I put it out for display thinking I’d never have to worry about it.
The very FIRST night, my cat (who was little more than a kitten at the time) decided to investigate him, knocking him to the floor. This caused the dual tragedy of a) breaking off the feet of the upgrade package stand (what would be the part rising against your shoulder in gun mode), and more importantly b) sending Megatron’s arm cannon into a nearby garbage pail. I repaired the feet with super glue, but the pail was emptied before I noticed the cannon was missing, and the piece was never seen again.
Once I realized what happened, it broke my heart and kinda put me off of collecting Transformers for a number of years. I packed Megatron in a bin, where he’s stayed ever since. But I’ve gotten my spirit back again and discovered this lovely website you all have built. So I figured I’d turn to you and ask the question: is there any value in this guy? Would I be wasting my time trying to sell him? Should I maybe just chuck him in the bin?
