| | | Description: | | Megatron is a towering, bulky, dinosaur-footed monstrosity with a varied color scheme noticeably different than that of the movie version. Megatron?s jet mode looks a little bit like one of Leonardo da Vinci?s flying machines. His robot mode, bearing a slightly simplified version of the movie Megatron?s intricate armor plating, is reasonably well articulated. Among Megatron?s arsenal of gimmick features are electronic sounds and lights, a launching claw that becomes a chain whip, and arms that combine to form a fusion cannon. Initially Megatron was Cybertron?s designated Lord High Protector, although eventually he succumbed to his consuming lust for the all spark. Megatron?s agenda placed him in opposition of Optimus Prime forcing the latter to rally a militia against Megatron?s Deceptions. Megatron was single-minded and monstrously powerful; the Deceptions gained ground against their adversaries, and as a desperate contingency the all spark was jettisoned into space. Megatron?s attempt to find the all spark ultimately divided him from his forces and led him into frounceen stasis. | | | Features: | |

Megatron isn't so badJul 19, 2009
First of all, I got this last Christmas, however I didn't create a review.
The toy isn't so bad, however I did accidentally ripped the chain whip off, so that means it isn't so sturdy. I had to tape it back several times, however it's fine now. Some people complained about the Fusion Cannon, and I agree with that; the Fusion Cannon can't stay in position unless you hold it. The legs aren't strong enough to support the body sometimes (because of all the weight on the back) however I figured out a way for it to stand: you turn the legs forward at the top until you hear a little noise, and then it could stand. The sound effect is cool.
In vehicle mode, the arms are loose, and it does get annoying, so I push it back every few seconds. The tail usually doesn't turn in jet mode. The face is pretty visible, so that's a flaw along with those legs that make it seem more like an alien invading Earth. The horn is a nice addition, but why would a jet have a "horn" sound? The jet mode overall is pretty awesome, but it does have some major flaws.
The box does cheat on you. From the picture on the back, it's a shiny silver, but it's just a dull gray. This also happened on Revenge of the Fallen Leader Megatron. Another cheat is the head. On the box, the head is different from the actual head. I would rather have the head on the box.
Overall, Megatron isn't so bad, however it does have a few flaws.

 DissapointingApr 01, 2008
This toy is disapointing.
First of all, this toy looks very little like the Megatron that was in the movie. It is stubby and stocky and presents none of the lethal intent the movie character does. The vehicle mode only slightly looks like the vehicle from the movie, and the transformation is much harder than it should be considering the results.
In robot mode this toy is hard to pose and unstable when standing. The feet do not support the toy except in a very narrow range of poses. The toys hands are useless and do not even look like hands, they cannot hold any of the other toys weapons or anything else. The "Chain whip" is kind of neat, and a nice nod to the original Transformer's cartoon character, but was not featured in the movie. His hand supposedly combine to form a "Fusion Cannon" but it looks nothing like the movie version. Also, the gun doesn't stay open without holding it open. The arms have a lot of kibble in the form of the "nose" of the plane, which serves no purpose in robot mode. The lights and sound gimmick it only OK. The Scream kind of make sense for this toy, but the yellow lights do not (blue lights for the ice, maybe?). The lights and sound gimmick add weight and bulk to what should be a fairly thin figure.
In Vehicle mode, the legs fold under the wings, making them look blocked up instead of like wings. Also the "tail" of the aircraft doesn't really lock into place and can flop around if touched. If the tail flops it tends to knock the legs free from their pegs on the wings. The wings are meant to unfold automatically, but this never fully worked on my toy. They unfold, but never fully without me having to push them down until the gear locks (there is a visible white gear on the wing hinges). Also the head is completely visible while in vehicle mode. The arms form the front of the plane, but again do not lock together well and come apart easily.
All in all this toy suffers from a lot of the same problems many other movie transformer toys suffer from. The character was designed for the movie first with no thought to how the toy would work, and the toy suffered from it.

 Hey, It's Megatron for crap sakes!!!!Feb 16, 2008
My son is only 5 but he's dying to get his hands on this toy. He doesn't want to convert it to a plane, he just wants to get Bumblebee and Optimus Prime together to kick his butt!!! It's over-priced sure, but for the 30 minutes my son will take to destroy it....why the heck not. Yea, my kid is spoiled. He's all about Bumblebee anyhow!

 Great Toy!Jan 27, 2008
Bought this for my 3 1/2 year old for Christmas and he really likes it. He isn't able to transform it yet on his own so do not buy it for a child under 8 unless you enjoy doing the transforming! It is sturdy and amazingly detailed though. Very impressive engineering! Well worth the money.
