Looks good. Now all I have to do is worry about the quality of him.

Can anybody tell me, how is the quality of this Megatron? I like the color scheme on him but just can't seem to get into the Animated stuff when I see it in person. The only Animated I have is the Cyb mode Voy Megatron, and he's o.k., but not awesome.
Problem I have with it is that once the kids started playing with him
and he started to have parts pop off, the blade in particular, they never held on as tightly anymore. Is this Megatron gonna be the same?
I hate shelling out bux for something I will just look at as a piece o' junk.

This Megatron is quite solid, and very cool--I have the first color version--. Also pretty simple to transform, so your kids should be alright with him. Add in the scary voice, maniacal laugh, and cool color scheme, and I believe he is a winner!

I'm with you Tigertracks. I don't care for Animated toys, but this Megatron is quite excellent as far as quality and durability and so forth. I have the original one, and would strongly consider picking up this repaint as well. This toy is a winner indeed.

Thanks for the replies. I may actaully get him then.
One more question, are the holes in his hands sized to hold
Mini-con weapons(Prowl/gun, any saber team)?
