That said, I'm going to stick up for him anyway .

Voyager Megatron has a very sleek looking alt mode. Yes, his robot feet stick out the back and you can see his robot face(though no as easily as on the Leader version); however, I think the overall look of the figure makes up for the kibble. Otherwise, it has some nice sculpted details. My only complaint is that the wing tips are made from soft plastic, so they have to stay in to avoid warping. As to the ice, I didn't know it was ice when I first saw it. I though it was some kind of energy field. Either way, I especially like the look on the wings.

His transformation is piss simple; I'll admit that. Really, it's only slightly more complicated than Vector Prime. But considering the obtuse transformations in a lot of other Movie figures, a simple transformation isn't much to complain about.

Megatron's robot mode is actually pretty poseable. The "foot problem" people mention does exist, but it's not as terrible as people make it out to be. Any weight on a foot at all is enough to keep it splayed, and since Megatron's ankles are on ball joints, it's not at all difficult to pose him. I don't know about the head problem an above poster mentioned. Mine's head moves just fine. You still have the ice, but again, it doesn't bother me.

Well, that's my story.

Like I said, if it's all about the ice, don't pick him up. Or wait a few months. The shelves around here are packed with Voyager Megatrons, so you might be advised to go the Leader version simply because he's been out longer.

Good luck with whatever you choose!
