Product Description

Gear up for land versus air combat when you convert the figures to Earth Truck and Cybertron Fusion Fighter in vehicle mode! Until now, Optimus Prime never thought he would come face to face with Megatron. The legendary villain was thought to be long ago deactivated, but on Cybertron his power and his evil are still feared. He knows that to face Megatron is to face his own mortality. Megatron, on the other hand, does not know who this young Autobot is, and does not care. All he knows is that the AllSpark is under this fool's protection. If he will not give it up, Megatron will tear him apart to get it. Optimus Prime and Megatron meet for the first time in the exciting new Transformers Animated series. Witness the first battles of a new legend as the Autobots and Decepticons struggle to control the secrets of the AllSpark. With the help of Sari and their other human friends, Optimus Prime and his loyal companions fight against the evil plotting of Megatron, with the fate of the city in the balance. Prepare for a fierce faceoff with these two opponents! In robot mode, the mighty Optimus Prime figure is poised for battle with his double-handed ion axe, while the menacing-looking Megatron figure will be ready to fight back, wielding a fusion cannon. Convert the cannon to a sword for added battle excitement. Gear up for land versus air combat too, when you convert the figures to Earth Truck and Cybertron Fusion Fighter in vehicle mode. Victory is within reach but who will claim it? You decide! Figures come with an exclusive DVD featuring "The Battle Begins" episode from the Transformers Animated series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great animated versions of both Megatron and Optimus, October 9, 2008

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Transformers Animated The Battle Begins - Optimus Prime vs. Megatron (Toy)

I love this collection for a number of reasons:

1. Great looking Megatron that is obviously Megatron. (Too many incarnations of the Decipticon leader could have been anyone, but just named "Megatron".) The grey and black coloring and, of course, the arm cannon make it clear who this guy is. Really like the spaceship mode as well. Much better than the movie version.

2. Very nice Optimus that, gratefully, has the head with the face plate, not the mouth, (Optimus should not have a mouth!) unlike the other $10 version of Prime.

3. Very reasonable price that keeps me from having to spend twice as much to get the similar, larger versions of each.

4. Comes with a intro to the new series, which allowed me to preview the animated series to see if it would be worth buying.

The only drawback, in my opinion, is the "battle damage" paint patterns on both. Could have done without that.

As far as transformers go, this is a nice set, and the kids enjoy the video (ages 4 and 5). Pieces can pop-apart, but can be popped back together. Not even a bad buy at full price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fell apart on Christmas morning...SERIOUSLY!!, October 5, 2009

This review is from: Transformers Animated The Battle Begins - Optimus Prime vs. Megatron (Toy)

My son adored theses toys for the short time he had them, but they eventually had to be SUPER GLUED in order to stay together. The DVD included is just a clip of a full length DVD that you can get for just a few bucks! They really did fall apart on Christmas morning- Megatron broke first and was never the same, and Optimus started breaking 2 days later. Would be a perfect toy if they stayed together, though.
