Toy Review - DOTM MechTech Voyager Megatron

[Lord_Zed]

The Poncho is pretty awersome, but the previous Voyager Megs had the glorious power of a crab, utterly crabtacular!

I will be getting this Megs so I can compare with Crab Megs and see who is the true champuion of Movie Megatrons.

That last image doesn't appeal at all though, it's poncho free!

Finally! Does this mean we can stop hearing about Lugnut?

Finally! Does this mean we can stop hearing about Lugnut?

Lugnut has countless acolytes, of whom I am merely one. The only cure for hearing about Lugnut is deafness or death, whichever comes first.

[jaydisc]

To be honest, it's the acolytes that are the most frustrating. The originality and creativity displayed by the movement's leader(s?) is still quite enjoyable.

I was somewhat on the fence about this but the fact that the cab is articulated sold it

[Stompy]

I'm gonna agree with Sky Shadow and admit that this is one mutha of a figure.

Bot mode looks like an action figure with excellent proportions, enough articulation and amazing detailed sculpting. Articulation is excellent with engineers now using double joints for the elbow and knees for superior arm and leg bends and poses. Hands that look menacing than holloween like his previous movie incarnations and that poncho/cape just completes this mode. The sandy themed colours really suit this nomad like incarnation of a destron leader. Not a big fan of the assymetrical eyes as it reminds me too much of Skids and Mudflap. Megatron is not meant to look stupid. I hope they explain that well in the movie.

Conversion is everything a modern transformer should be unless you hate complex conversions. This has some ingenious tricks and folds that forms a very solid alt. It is near perfection, especially with the articulated trailer, even if it is a very small angle. It's a pelasure to see each panel of the alt mode appears as you twist, fold and bend it to its alt mode. Then it all clicks into place and nothing is loose. The backend can be tricky to align with the gas tank but a littlegentle nudging and alignment with the pegs will guide you there.

The alt mode is solid and aside from the bonnett seams, everything else is natural looking. The articlated trailer is a impressive even if it is a small angle. All wheels roll and there are no visible robot kibble. All accessories go into this mode too. If I have to fault it, the alt mode is small and not in scale with Optimus.

Overall, the best in the line so far and definately a must have in my opinion. The best by a million miles of all the movie Megatrons and one of the best figures ever. I think it may have bumped off RtS Jazz for me. Bring on a Leader Class please Hasbro.

I'm Commander Shepherd and this is my favourite DOTM toy on the Citadel.

[Sutton]

I agree with all comments about this guy. He is awesome. Needs paint badly, particularly in altmode, but that was to be expected. I'll wait until there's some more good reference pics of him from the movie itself before I start that though.

Recommended.

As with deluxe Crankcase, I'm scared that when I see this guy at retail I won't be able to resist. Awesome looking toy, certainly looks worthy of all the praise.

[Pipesqueak]

Clearly the best movie-related megatron toy so far, and will no doubt prove very popular. For that reason, it will not doubt get a repaint, so I will skip this one and wait in hope of a better redeco with less hasbro grey and no injured eye.
