New images of the soon to be released Transformers: Animated Activator Megatron have been posted on tf08.net.

The images show both robot and vehicle mode (Earth Helicopter). The image of the robot mode shows that Megatron has decent articulation, but unlike the Leader Class version, his cannon cannot be attached to his forearm.

This might be thew only activator i get from this line but i cant figure y hasbro got these things selling for deluxe prices and none of them dont even have a weapon or any means of holding a weapons.

That and the price tag is the only i havent even look their directions in the stores but i might pick up Megs tho and cut/screw his lil gun off and put it on his 4arm myself

Carefully cut the cannon off of the alt mode (don't know if it's attaced with a screw or part of the mold), drill out a 5-6mm "pit" on the alt mode, on the cannon and on Megatron't fore-arm, insert rare earth magnets into each place and voila.
Magnets are our friends.

Where do these things sell for Deluxe price? They're half the price of a Deluxe in the UK.

Priced at the Scout/ Basic price point here in Aus too. it's about the same as the US deluxe price though...

They're priced cheaper than Deluxes here too (unless you're at WM and they have their Deluxes for $7.77)....

...Not fond of the wimpy little cannon in alt mode and the total lack thereof in robot mode, it is a decent figure...and I like those Activators anyways....cute little kiddie-toys that are actually interesting in design.

This is a must-get for me! As soon as I see it, it will be mine!
