Exactemundo. Gun toy safety laws in the US require such caps on realistic gun toys. Even MP Megs had to be fitted with them for sale in the US.

SRC Daizyujin U.S. Release

The cap is removeable, so that's nice.
And Hegemon is freaking awesome, seriously, if you people like G1 Megatron, go to CapturedPrey.com and get yourself a Hegemon before he sells out.
Best G1 Megatron ever. Great gun mode, and great bot mode, this is a top tier 3rd Party TF in my opinion.

Got Vehicon finally!!! and SRC Shin Mazinger!!! Not sure which to photograph first...both AWESOME

And here's the rest. :D

Honestly, I'm not into Transformers anymore. The movies, Prime, and the cancellation of Animated killed my interest in the series. I even rewatched the original series earlier this year in its entirety hoping it would get me back into the show without success.

Plus, I'm not into "official" bootlegs, especially ones that are priced that high.

Anyway, look who arrived at my comic shop today:

The philisophical discussion of what a "bootleg" is is entirely too lengthy to discuss here. However Hegemon is not a "bootleg" in that it isn't based on any prior design of any kind. It's totally original. It borrows the characters likeness obviously but to call it a "bootleg" doesn't at all describe it accurately. It's a completely original toy.
