In voyager class, I already have Grimlock and Optimus Prime which were the only one that interested me. I have been interested in buying other voyagers.

Megatron, his color is not show accurate and I heard a lot of negative on him. Is he really that bad? I have the Leader class of him and feel weird to have both Earth and Cybertronian mode of OP but not Megatron...

Is voyager Animated Starscream's mold fragile because of his automorph? I look at some video review and most of the time, when the user transform back into his alternate mode, his arms doesn't move back by itself and look like its easy to make it loose... And I don't want to buy all the seekers and its turn out they are all fragile...

And is Starscream's color show accurate? The toy look brighter than the SC in the show which his color is much darker.

Megatron's alternate mode really sucks big time. I mean it looks like nothing and even the fusion cannon is not located where it supposed to be in the show. With that said i think his robot mode looks actully pretty cool.

The fusion cannon however totally wrecks an other wise good looking robot. Its on a hinge completely detached from his actual forearm.

He was too many shortcomings and flaws that the good looking robot mode just doesn't make up for.

So no, if you really want his cybertronian mode I think his deluxe version is a bit better if you don't mind a third Optimus Prime.

I agree with Overcracker on all points with Voyager TFA Megs. Alt mode is terrible, and the weird attachment of the fusion cannon ruins the bot mode. If you have the Leader Earth mode I wouldn't ever bother.

As for the TFA seeker mold, I have Starscream and Skywarp. I don't find either to all that fragile. I would consider TFA Voyager Prime's gravity spin auto-morph far more fragile than these guys. When transforming back into alt mode, you do have to kind of help the arms back into place, but mine have shown no signs of failing.

I bought the voyager class Megatron because I wanted him to match up with Prime. The alt mode is crap. I like his Cybertron robot mode more than his Earth robot mode as well. He looks good standing on the shelf.

The automorph thing on Starscream works pretty well on mine. I don't see it being too fradgile. My biggest problem is getting his hands to stay on. They fall off every time I try to transform him. Frustrating.

Cybertron Megatron, whether it's the Voyager or Deluxe version, is indeed crappy. The alt mode doesn't even look like a vehicle. I had to watch the show in order to figure out which end was supposed to be the "front".

As for Animated Starscream, I only transformed him a couple times before his auto-morph thing stopped working, and now I have to manually move the arms into position.

Same thing with Animated Voyager OP: his "gravity spin" thing only worked once or twice. And I'm not rough with my figures.
