Well to be fair, Sega was in competition during the Bit-wars, taking the lead with the Genesis/megadrive, but eventually lost to Nintendo. So Transformer civil war analogy, where the decepticons are sega, and megatron's the genesis? Or it could be a pun, Mega-drive, Mega-tron, the Japanese do love their puns, which don't really translate well. Actually that's a misnomer, they don't trans illiterate at all.

I'm excited for the more ridiculous segments of the fandom to ask why this isn't being called Genesis Megatron.

Also this is kind of a fun thing, and if I still lived in Japan I would probably pick it up.

Let's see what else: Sky LYNX, Beast Wars NeoGeo, Kiss Players Atari (whichever system she fused with, it couldn't be any messier than when my 2600 spontaneously burnt out), GAME-real-GEAR-robots, VIRTUAL-scissor-BOY...

But I really wanna' see the next dead system mashed up with a dead robot toyline: the Gobots present, TURBOgrafx 16! Of course that might face competition from GameCUBIX, or did they revive that show?

Wait, since it's Segatron, how did we overlook the TF mashup possibilities of Genesis's predecessor: The Head-/Target-/Power-/God-/Brain-/Micro-/Action-/Disc-/Build-MASTER System?!?!?!

I'm...going to utterly loathe this new Arts line in the morning. No matter what direction it takes.

Originally I was going to laugh at the stupidity of this comment, but then I remembered that neat little Megadrive handheld I had a few years ago, which I opened after it died to find out that most of the space was taken up by the battery, the screen, and the controlls, and that the actual console guts of it was incredibly tiny. Then seeing how large this guy's chest is, I guess, it might actually be a functioning Megadrive, just not with cartridges and more with built in games.
And that would be incredibly awesome, and yes I kinda want it to be like that now. :D

Also, yea, this is awesome and if not too expensive will go on my shelf of interesting oddities, especially if it does function as a Megadrive.

the gun barrel appears to be a usb port, so that might be how they stick games on it. looks like an okay toy I suppose.

is that good enough for a post, or do I have to do an uninformed stream of consciousness rant about a console war that ended 20years ago?

Um...



Um.. I uh...I think it's kind of dumb.

*cringes*


Let me explain, lest I be acused of trolling.

A) Its proportions look silly and kinda cheap.

B) It really doesn't look like Megatron in my opinion.

C) Really? What is with this crossover stuff. I'm not going to buy a transformer that turns into a shoe. I know some people will but these micro-niche markets are weird to me. There is an expenditure of time, money, and promotion going into all these things. Instead of wasting time with kitschy transformers, why are they not making decent characters?

/rant.
I have been into transformers since 1984.
While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters.
I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part
I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs.
It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise.

really, Soundwave or Blaster should be a games console (a Gameboy maybe?) with their little cassette buddies being the cartridges.

The figure is a new mold of the Decepticon leader Megatron that transformers into a Sega Genesis (Sega Mega Drive) console and controller. Check out the new prototype images mirrored below:
