Megatron was distributed to a few retail outlets in NSW before Hasbro quickly stopped distributing the toys when they became prohibited... I remember my mum telling me that she'd read about it in a newspaper article... I think she said that there was a product recall too, but not too sure about that. I only knew one kid growing up who had a G1 Megatron and he'd purchased it from Victoria which prohibited the toy substantially later than NSW. I remember a lot of kids at school saying that VIC was the place to get Megatron after NSW pulled them off shelves.

I guess it's possible that Hasbro may not have bothered pursuing a small toy store in a relatively small regional township for a product recall <shrug>
