Toy Review - Generations Cybertronian Megatron

[Paulbot]

I'm seriously unimpressed with this toy. Anyone in Melb wanna buy mine for a cheaper than in store price? Maybe because I haven't played WFC yet I don't get the appeal of the robot mode, but the transformation is practically Legends class in complexity and the lack of substance to the vehicle mode is hidden by the big gun (the Fusion Cannon is the only thing I like about the toy.) I'll transform it back to robot mode tomorrow and see how I feel but I think this goes in my sale pile.

I only want the fusion cannon

I am clearly in the minority here but I am impressed by the plastic quality and paint apps on this toy.

I must be as well. I love this figure alot, and agree in regards to Prime. Prime pails in comparison to Megatron. Megatron is just a great figure in general, though I prefer his robot mode. Quite easy to transform between the 2 as well, unlike Prime who I had trouble with the first time I transformed him.

This toy was surprisingly better than I expected.

I wouldn't call the hover tank mode a 'third mode'. It's the tank mode in hover function just like in the game - The tracks are for speed function, kind of like changing gears on a car.

I'd say more like when fred flintstone puts his feet down and runs to make it go faster.

I am happy with WFC Prime's design just not his paint finish.

That works

I am clearly in the minority here...

What minority... 60% recommend the toy, and only 20% don't want it or can't recommend it. And the rest are still willing to buy it if on sale.

My vote doesn't count though, as I pretty much buy everything, so can sometimes be a little biased to make myself feel better...

Sometimes I buy things that I don't particularly like for different reasons. So what's your final verdict?

[griffin]

I voted yes because it was a form I am really familiar with in an official medium, so have to have a toy for it - and it was simplistic enough to be fun to play with. We've already had a couple brain-teasers (Optimus and Bumblebee), so the line needs more fun toys for the kids to buy up and make Generations more successful than the Autobot-Alliance/Movie line... which probably won't matter, because Hasbro keeps pushing the Bay-styled robot toys for the movie line, instead of the nicer looking and 'funner' CHUGU toys.

CHUGU!
