    Agree with all the positives stated above. Absolutely fantastic figure.

    Robot mode looks such much better in person. Love all the nice little gun details including the trigger halves on the shoulders. If the inside of his legs were red (practically not possible though as they flip 180 degrees to become sides of the tank), he would've been just perfectly G1. Gorgeous head sculpt. The eyes are a tad too big for my liking but that's possibly for better light piping. I don't mind the shoulder connection at all. A good solution to handling possibility with those shoulders. My one minor gripe is that I wish his head would sit a bit forward rather than so far back.

    Transformation is along the line with all the CW design: simple, effective and fun.

    Tank mode is chunky and imposing. Functional treads are always nice to have

    Another great sample from the current Generations line and a testament of why it's been a success among fans.

    At first I thought he just looked cool and wasn't really wanting to actually buy one, but after actually seeing both versions at Toyworld today, and reading these reviews here, I'm almost changing my mind on getting one now.

    While the pictures here are great, sorry guys, but actually seeing it in box is heaps cooler. First thing I noticed was red trigger crotch. lol. But that said, that picture pose just above is really sweet.

    While I personally enjoyed the challenge of the more complicated Generations and Movie toys over the years, I have to say that this is the definition of a perfect transformers toy.

    It's simple enough that both my boys could transform it without assistance, but not so simple as to be boring, it's poseable enough to be fun but not weakened by having too many joints. It's recognisable as G1 Megatron, so it'll set off nostalgia for a lot of grown-ups, making them buy it for their kids, who will then have a sneaky play with it once the kids are in bed.

    It's great that there's still the MP line and 3P for the high-end TF market, but I think if Hasbro keeps making toys at this level of complexity (likewise the rest of the combiner wars line) they'll keep the brand relevant for a lot longer.

    He's a pretty spectacular figure. Well designed. Simple and FUN transformation. Looks great in both modes, and that head sculpt is perfect. Hard to fault him - definitely one of the best Megatron figures ever made IMO.

    If I was being picky and put my 'adult collector' hat on, I could definitely fault him - those shoulders are a bit ugly, his leg proportions are off, the fusion cannon should collapse in more and the positioning of the cannon is a bit weird, no ankle tilt etc. But that would be missing the point - those 'faults' exist because Hasbro have chosen not to over-complicate things this time around and focused on making a fun toy first and foremost.

    I wonder how many ROTF Leader Primes given to kids never made it to truck mode...?
