I'm nearly all the way over the other side of town so not sure if it's worth the drive over hehe.
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...?
good review, still looking for this guy, only armadas around![]()
