Toy Review - Generations Cybertronian Megatron

[jaydisc]

What's the third mode

It's barely a third mode. You flip out treads on the side for ground mode. Flip 'em under for flight mode.

Does the gun barrel detach?

Yes. It's detached and reattached in both directions of transformation.

Fantastic robot mode, really emphasises the menace Megs exudes. Alt mode is a little left to be desired, I do prefer it with the treads down for a more 'traditional' tank mode. Would be happy to replace my Classics voyager Megs placement on the display shelf with this one.

The only problem I have is a manufacturing issue. The left shoulder of mine doesn't slot in all the way when converting to alt mode. Apart from that, love him.

Looks nice, sculpting is impressive.

The treads aren't nearly as token as I thought theyd be, they're a lovely touch.

Robot mode is pretty cool, but the light gray seems KOish.

Only the gray? I reckon the whole thing looks KO-ish! But I plan to collect most of the main generations line and he is Megs, so will get him anyway. Wonder if the colour is really that "glossy" like in real life?

I really think this is the best War For Cybertron toy yet, nice and solid, and a simple transformation that won't be confusing me when I pick him up tomorrow and transform him. I love all the sculpted detail, especially the 'Con symbol on Megatron's back, It almost looks like the Fallen (The Movie Version) is hitching a ride. HAs anyone noticed that the Cannon has two gun barrels? The first missile firing one, but the other side is a double barrel laser of some kind. It's very neat.

Can someone please post a pic of the 'tank with treads mode'? My classics shelf doesn't have a Megatron just yet & how this mode looks will determine whether that changes anytime soon.

I pick Megs up yesterday, even thought I tend to me a Autobot collector more than anything, I do like him so much I decide to buy him mainly because Darkmount would be so lonely without a fellow decepticon...I wasn't disappointed with him unlike with Optimus Prime who every-time I want to transform i get half way through and then want to throw it at the nearest wall. I'm sure you know what I mean...

Exceptionally good looking in robot mode. Unfortunately with 90% of Megatron figures, the alt mode is disappointing. While not bad, its just a bit boring. Conversion is simple and uninteresting. Especially the way the treads just float on a ball joint underneath or on the side. Keep this one in bot mode.

DoubleD, here's a pic with the treads. Note the hands visible just inside the treads:

Thanks for the pic mate. The treads help a bit but I still think it looks like monochrome squashed Wall-E. I think they would have been better off giving Megatron a flying alt mode ala Animated, and a helicopter would have made a nice change of place from playing as a seeker. Ah well. :P

[SharkyMcShark]

To be honest it looks like the Star Fox tank (Landmaster), especially from side profile.

Except with a really big cannon on it.
