Toy Review - TFPrime Voyager Megatron

[GoktimusPrime]

Its a real solid figure that stands well and stays together well. His weapons are great, especially the light.

You don't find the shoulders pop out easily during play? What about the retracted blades? They often hinder arm articulation during play for me.

He is just a nice sleek toy that is fun and great to look at.

For me the monotonous colours ruin the look of the robot mode and the over use of transparent purple spoils the look of the vehicle mode. I much prefer the more solid and diverse colours on the cheaper Deluxe figure.

But I like him even more now I have painted him. Hasbro would not do it so I finished him for them.

...which cost you time and money. For a $50 toy I personally expect a LOT better than what I got with this figure. If they're going to give a dull colour scheme, interfering gimmick and poorly connecting shoulder joints... then make the toy cheaper.

And miss out on the painting fun. No way. Never had any problem with the shoulder joints. Weapon is not the best. But better than the crap that Prime has.

I think this toy is awesome well worth the $50.

'SEXY' is not really a word I would use to describe his fabulous looks! But each to their own.

But Fabulous is...?

I'd rather my Megatron be 'Fabulous' than 'Sexy'.

Okay, but IMO if a toy is going to have less colours then it ought to be cheaper. My TakTOM FE Optimus Prime cost me AU$48 and yet has exquisite colours throughout it. Heck, my AU$17 Deluxe Megatron has more colours and paint apps on it than my Voy Megs! So considering that the Voyager cost me triple what I paid for the Deluxe, I'm rather disappointed that it's so lacking in colours and playability.

I think if people can get this toy for $30 at Uncie Petes, then sure... but I've yet to be convinced that this toy is even remotely worth its $50 RRP.

As crap as Prime's weapon is... I personally find it better than Megatron's as it doesn't interfere with the toy's movement/articulation during play and also manages to light pipe better because the weapon is in direct contact with the arm (whereas Megatron's has this gap, so most of the light escapes). The gimmick itself is inherently stupid though.
