Toy Review - DOTM MechTech Voyager Megatron

[The_Damned]

Clipping the tanker bits into the sides of the "central" legs. Mine just lock in... they just sit there which gets annoying during play.

there is a bit that clips in to the bottom of the tank

Like so many others, I'm totally in love with this new Megatron. If Guts from Berserk were a robot, this is how he'd look. The way he holds himself, the eye damage, the cloak...It just screams Guts to me, just wish he had the huge slab style sword to complete the look!

I'm not going to go on and say "Oh I hope there's a leader class toy in the making" because I don't need it. This toy is simply perfect as is.

Since buying him the other day I've been carting him around the house like some kind of inanimate pet....Don't think I've ver done that with any other Transformer He's just so cool to look at, the transformation is fun, he doesn't feel like he's going to break, everything slots into place and, and....You just need this toy okay. Best Megatron ever.

Pretender Megatron

THAT WOULD BE A KICKASS MEGATRON

For the sake of continuity in scale from the last 2 movies I HOPE there is a Leader Class release, but considering the cuts in production costs I doubt it'll happen

I got this fig too, haven't opened it yet but will get to it!

So does anyone know more about the Megatron 2 packs? Does the G1 version come with blue legs or red?

I got Megatron out and played with him for the first time yesterday.

He is awesome and fanstatic. The detail is quite good, especially with the MACK signage and the little dog

I dont know if I will share the same view with the other DOTM Voaygers - Ironhide, Megatron or Skyhammer.

Maybe Shockwave?

+excellent robot and alt mode design.
+very good articulation especially with the legs (but arms suffer a bit from no forearm/wrist rotation.) special mention to the trailer in alt mode - very nice and satisfying twisting.
+very nice abs that do not suffer from backpacks like the one on deluxe WFC Cybertronian Prime.
+very interesting and fun transformation
+very mysterious looking with the poncho
+looks awesome sitting in a throne.

-orange/brown marks spoil the look.
-left windscreen in alt mode looks weird. (i know megatron is supposed to look disfigured... but its stupid looking.)
-mechtech weapon is crap looking and why does it have wheels on it? they look so out of place.
-hands cant hold anything - some weapons will look weird on him.
-would have preferred poncho to be made of cloth
-is not leader class

the strange thing is he has mechtech ports on the side of his lower legs...
overall a must buy from the DOTM toy line.

Will there be a leader version? How about a megaton with pride and not a downtrodden rusty old truck with a rag and an injured eye?

Will there be a leader version?

Personally don't care. The last two Leader Megatrons were abysmal, and Voyager DotM Megatron leaves them for dust!

Hard to make a call on this until I've seen the film...

Um... how's the multiple personality disorder going for you, Goki?
