5.0 out of 5 stars Great Megatron Figure, August 4, 2008

This review is from: Transformers Animated Leader - Megatron (Toy)

I agree with some of the other reviews that this is one of the better Megatron figures to grace the aisles of the toy department. (Especially compared to the $50 disaster that was the "icy" Megatron figure from the Transformers movie...)

Vehicle Mode is rock solid. Everything fits together snugly and stays that way through fairly rigorous play. The swords-to-propellers transformation means there are no Robot Mode accessories to keep track of while in Vehicle Mode.

I agree the angle of his legs in Robot Mode make him look like he needs a bathroom break, but all things considered, this is a nice, sturdy figure that works well in both modes and as a toy to be played with rather than just posed in a display case.

(If the legs bother you too much, there is an alternate Megatron Animated figure that seems to have corrected the awkward angle.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Megatron Ever!, August 27, 2008

This review is from: Transformers Animated Leader - Megatron (Toy)

Beautifully done. This figure's fun factor is off the chart, awesome vehicle mode, great accessories ( 2x swords, 1x arm mounted fusion cannon and 1x missile). The figure's mouth moves it has 20 points of articulation. Lights and 5 sound bites activated by pressing the decepticon insignia on its chest, 3 phrases which was done by the original voice actor (only in robot mode), 1 which sounds like the rotors of the helicopter (only in vehicle mode), 1 which is the trademark of all transformers..... the transformation sound (during transformation). The transformation gimmick will serve to stimulate the mind and also the figure with its both modes will stir the imagination of children. I've had this toy for about one month now and so far i haven't discovered any thing weak or prone to breaking. Overall this figure is the ultimate megatron, great homage to G1 megatron, with a more useable alternate mode. Bottom line is that it is a must have for anyone who likes transformers.

This review is from: Transformers Animated Leader - Megatron (Toy)

One of the best Megatron's done so far.Complete with electronic sounds and speech this figure has it all.The cool thing also is that his expression on his face changes when he talks.Megatron has one sweet vehicle mode in a attack helicopter mode which is very futuristic looking with spin-linked blades that become two swords for up close battles in robot mode.What I also love is how he has a fusion missle launch cannon on the arm like a tribute to the G1 days.The detail is some of the best you will find on a transformer figure.The poseability for acting out battle scenes or displaying is excellent.The transformation level is advanced meaning if you have plenty of experience with transformers there is mid-level difficulty.If you are a parent buying for a child of 5-6 or younger there might be some assistance needed in the process.I have every movie version Megatron and this is 100% still one of my favorites in my collection.This version is very versatile for all ages,so A child after a few times,some practice,and patience should be able to handle it.The durability is also an A++ where Megatron can handle whatever you throw his way.Bottom line Megatron is a high quality,well-made, 10 out of 10 figure all transformer fans should love and enjoy.I highly recommend Megatron Animated Leader to all transformer fans and collectors out there.Transformers Rule!!!!!
