From Toys R Us $60.
Looks to be the Mega 1 Step Optimus Prime's counterpart.
Looks pretty good IMO

It's global news for being the first reveal of this toy in the world, so I've moved this to the main news section.
This toy is referred to as the "Ultra" Megatronus on the RID game app, and you can scan the code on the box photo if you haven't already unlocked that character.
It's an unusual situation to have all the toys of the Decepticon leader in a show only being available to one store chain... and not a major chain at that to allow for more units to be produced to cut down its cost of production. (like Stinger toys at Walmart - more stores means more units, which can mean cheaper per unit to produce and sell to Walmart)
Well... that Optimus toy may be called 3-step, but after playing with it, and looking at the transformation on the front of the box, it is really only a 1-step that Hasbro wanted to make sound better. :rolleyes:Quote:

They didn't credit me! :(
Megatron is back? Well duh his name is Megatronus what do you people expect?
PS I am aware that Megatronus is the Fallen but would the average person know that?
And now I'm waiting for the Warrior class version of this, which I hope does come out (if ever)
Well we've had plenty of Orion Pax toys, I reckon we were due a Megatronus :)
Now for an Aerial version of Elita-1 and a Divebomb version of Swoop ;)
They did credit the source, which is all they need to do.Quote:

Images of the Ultra Megatronus now that it is out at ToysRUs in Australia (for $60)...

It comes with two accessories - a spear and turret barrel (attaches to forearm).

Tank mode.
Packaging shows the spear on the tank turret, but it looks too stupid up there... and even looks stupid on the treads, so I now prefer to not have it plugged into the vehicle mode at all.

If you get this, be careful with transforming it. There seems to be a lot of internal gears like the old Movie Auto-morph toys, and after an unusual loud cracking noise while transforming it, I'm now having trouble transforming it back to tank mode. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/images/smilies/frown.gif

Next to the Mega 3-step Optimus toy, which is similar size, and is in the exact same sized packaging. Megatron was slightly cheaper here though.

He looks really cool despite being only a 5 step changer. The tank mode is quite awesomsauce.
