Combiner Wars Leader Class Megatron Video Review

generations (chug or whateve ryou wanna call it) forms the largest percentage of my collection. However I never did get the previous megatron mainly because I didn't like the alt mode. Now this guy I was a bit sceptical at first. Didn't like his spindly proportions or his gun. But now that i've seen better pix and the video (tho hopefully there'll be a less painful one to watch out soon).

this mother has working rubber tracks... what other tf can claim that? I mean i was thrilled to pieces with bludgeon so this is definitley a step up though they could've still made that cannon a bit better. maybe if it separated in 2.

Anyhow this will definitely lead the chug decepticons into battle.

That reviewer put him next to just about every MP figure that isn't MP-10.

Which one? There were a bunch, and I much prefer the one below to lead my decepticons since he kept his gun alt mode albeit in a classics design:

Definitely feeling some hype towards owning this figure. I just hope it comes soon for us all that ordered.

Problem is once you pre-order you can't cancel it. I've never ordered from them before, but I found it when I was on Tumblr and the price isn't bad. 9.50 for shipping for me. So it came to $52.00 altogether.

You can get both Generations Megatrons for $89.99 shipped from Entertainment Earth at http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodi ... NbIPPmjNcY

Yeah, EE has a good deal too! I was going to get from there originally after BBTS sold out, but I'm on the fence about Armada Megatron. I might pick him up next month though when I have a little bit more money.

BBTS has them both still available for preorder too, for the same price as EE. That's where I get most of my stuff because of their POL feature, and the fact that they are just over the St. Croix river from me so I get stuff uber fast..

And no, I don't work for them, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night... (Let's see, any more product placement/advertising I can do? )

This is a better Megatron, to me, than many others in a very long time. Including even his spinning turret is brilliant! It looks like the same arm/turret design as Cybertron Scattorshot, which I always thought had a very creative mechanism.

As I've written elsewhere...Overall, I'm really looking forward to this Megatron, which looks better than his CHUG nerf-gun version. He's no Masterpiece, but he's the best HasTak G1-like Megs I've seen in a very long while. Generally, I've felt blah about many of the Megatron toys in the past, which leads me to a comparison of the Megatrons throughout the years...

RID/2000 Megs, though cool, didn't evoke "Megatron" to me, and seemed like a DeathSaurus type of toy/character.

I never cared for Armada Megs' moose antlers, and I love Energon Megs, but he's really G1 Galvatron.

Cybertron Megatron was a wacky-colored Unicron mash-up; the silver "Galvatron" was better.

Movie 1 Megs was a weird monster-faced, space-jet thing, like the Animated version, although the Animated Helicopter Megatron was cool. Movie 2 Tank Megatron was good, except for the stupid gimpy arm, and Movie Tanker Megs was Ok, but never got a decent Leader Mold.

Prime Megatron, like his Movie 1 counterpart, disappointed with a weak space-jet mode again, although his bot mode was Ok too.

WFC/FOC Megatron was good but deserved a Voyager or Leader mold, Titanium Megs was cool, but over-simplified.

We never got an Alternator Megs, a Cadillac concept would have been awesome though. Alternity Megs was Ok, but too small & not widely available like Alternators were.

IDW Megatron is cool, but again he should have been larger, & though I love my MP05, he's lanky, fiddly, delicate, and overly complex.

So this Combiner Wars Megatron is a large(ish), G1-like version that looks more promising than anything else for a very long while. He's not perfect, but he's the best I've seen these many years. Until MP Megatron version 2 comes out, this is my best substitute.

See the WFC/FOC lines were purely Deluxes for the most part. The only others were voyagers which was with the Soundwave mold. Which worked for that line really well... I prefer the deluxe / voyager sizes over some of these leader classes.

This Megatron will definitely do... I am going to already make plans to add a little more height with a 3D printed foot extensions. Another prime that I feel like it doesn't get enough attention is Generations Deluxe Megatron. While its a re-used mold it works really well for him. His robot mode is intense...



I have a feeling this new Leader Megatron is going to be a "buy" on sight...

On the contrary, I didn't. I actually liked the movie versions. I still have to say, though, this one looks better.

I liked these two Movie versions...

good video what is wind noise in video allready knew what articluation was by looking at pictures

I was ready to pass on this guy. A lot of the photos don't do him justice. He looks really good and is absolutely going on my MP shelf. I'm sure upgrade kits are already in the works for any issues this guy may have.
