Toy Review - RtS Legends Megatron

[Vector Prime]

After reading these reviews of Legends Megs, I think it may be time to liberate one of them (I do have 3 of them after all )

I plan on getting Unicron to wield him - scale should be right and it should fit (I think)

[Vector Prime]

So I finally opened one of these guys up the other day and wow, what a pleasant surprise.

The transformation sequence is pretty cool and with the exception of the orange tip, he's well worth every cent.

Easily one of (if not) the best Legends class sized figures around.

9/10 (would have been a 10 if he was a Deluxe sized)

(Btw, Unicron also holds him quite well and the orange tip kinda matches )

Clever transformation is the best part of the figure for me. Gun mode is pretty good, robot is decent as well. I hope they use this as a basis for a new deluxe or voyager Generations Megatron, similar to what they did with Warpath.

I got mine the other day & I really like him. Simple transformation & easy to play with. My ladies favourite even though it is the cheapest TF I have.

Having had mine for a while now, I actually prefer him over MP05 (yeah... I said it). The biggest improvement is the lack of what I call 'chicken legs'; oh and he doesn't suffer from cosmic rust either.

Does anyone know if there will be any customs problems importing the takara tomy version of megatron reveal the shield?

from osme pictures ive seen, the takara version has a normal purple decepticon logo instead of a black rub sticker.

oh and of course the obvious lack of orange cap..


also come in a nice box.

Hey darockk, I bought the Takara version in a lot off eBay last month and didn't have any problems.

Just don't wave it around outside

I kinda wish I had done like I did with the Masterpiece version and bought the Takara version of this figure so I didn't have to deal with the stupid orange nub at the the end (who is going to mistake a gun this small for something real?!?! Oh yeah - American cops) but he is still a very cool little figure. Many folk I know who are not into the whole 'transformers multiverse' thing went and bought this figure because it was a small, affordable, good looking (despite the orange bit) Megatron toy that turned into a gun. A figure I am very happy to have and a very good marketing strategy by the powers that be
