    Default Toy Review - Cyberverse Megatron (Ultimate)

    MEGATRON
    Series - Cyberverse
    Size/class - Ultimate
    New/remould/redeco - New
    Wave - 1
    Released here - Yes (8/2018)
    Approximate Retail Price - $60
    Approximate Size - 24cm
    Allegiance - Autobot
    Alt-mode - Truck cab
    Main Features/Gimmicks - Matrix Mega Shot
    Main Colours - red, blue
    Main Accessories - None. Why should a $60 toy have any accessories?











    PROS
    + Solid beefy looking robot and tank modes
    + Good face sculpt with use of metallic plastic on the head and thighs
    + Good level of leg articulation

    CONS
    - Zero head, elbow, wrist or waist articulation. There's basically no articulation from waist up that isn't part of the toy's transformation... so it's kinda like a Transformer toy from the 1980s... in 2018.
    - Fusion cannon is not removable and the toy has no accessories.
    - Turret cannot turn.

    Transformation Tip: when transforming from tank to robot mode, be sure to transform the legs first, otherwise the mechanism to release the head may get jammed.

    OVERALL
    Unbelievably bad for a $60 toy. Avoid.

    The photos don't do this toy justice IMO.

    It's pretty hard to confuse Megatron with Optimus Prime. Shyttered Glass universe?

    You're right, the photos certainly don't.

    Because I find that the toy's appearance looks good which is why a review is needed to expose how much of a fraud this toy is.

    Oh thanks Bruce. Now I can't unsee Fixit crotch now. His angry red eyes stare into your soul
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    Gok, your reviews have been very informative and I think everyone appreciates you taking a bullet for us by having first crack at this new line...

    ...but I gotta ask, if the line is so uniformly bad why do you keep buying them?

    For the same reason that I wasted money on Action Masters in the early 90s.

    There is no good reason.

    Take it as "I'm buying this crap so you don't have to!"
