This version of Megatron is adapted from the fun comic story, Transformers: The War Within. The 6" line has several figures based on that story line. These versions can only be found in the 6" titanium line and generally they're geared as affordable display pieces with diecast to pump up the display value; more then generally cheaper and all plastic play transformers to give to the kids. The "alt" mode, as with most of the titanium figures, is pretty decent and is really there to support the more excellent 'bot mode. Check out the comic story in trade paperback here at Amazon and pick up some other sweet War Within titanium: Fallen (smokin' hot), War Within Optimus Prime, Sunstorm. If you like TF and diecast, these are heaven.

This Megatron is the best looking I've ever seen in his robot mode. What I particularly like is that you can tell that it IS Megatron just by looking at him (unlike Prime, whom you can tell who he is by looking at, no matter what variation, Megatron always looks completely different in each and every incarnation that he might as well just be a different character altogether).

My only gripe with this, other than the modifications I had to make to his cannon so it would stay on the side of his arm instead of going in his hand, is his tank mode. I like the concept of the tank mode, but the legs do not contract into the body well enough to be convincing. If they came all the way up to his waist, and combined together into a single block, he would have been perfect.
