In order to transform it, you have to detach the torso from the hips. That part spins. It took me over a year to figure that out. Kind of a crappy Christmas...

He does, but I prefer to believe he has Sam Fisher-style night vision goggles on.

This one:

He features a spinning attack in his right arm. And here's the list of releases:

- Classics: The Ultimate Battle
- Classics: Deluxe (standalone release for Europe and Mexico)
- Universe 1.0: The Ultimate Battle (straight repack for liquidator stores)
- Universe 2.0: Special Edition (repaint in G1 Megatron colors)
- United: Thunder Megatron (repaint in G2 Hero Megatron colors)

Finally, on the Classics releases his feet are misassembled. The Gallery shows the intended orientation. :lol:

Who is Sam Fisher? (I am SOOOOO out of the loop)

Sam Fisher is a video game character similar to Solid Snake (voiced by Michael Ironside) who wears on his forehead multipurpose goggles(thermal,night vision etc)

@godzillabot

Solid Snake is a character that can be found/played in a:
PS3/PS2/PSP/GB/MX/NES/Xbox game console. Lot's of Sci-fi, military, sneaking,naughty undertones, Hollywood style anime influenced Konami created game.

He looks a lot like a mix of Kurt "Snake Plisken" Russel and Sly "John Rambo Stallone" (only with brains for the latter)

I knew it. I always thought it looked wrong but normally feet are bigger at the front. I tried taking the legs apart to fix it but couldn't.

...excuse me? If you're referring to what I assume you are, then I have to say that's not necessarily a waist joint so much as a transformation step, plus his backpack and right arm have to be detached as well, so it's pretty useless as a waist joint. Unless you're talking about some other Megatron toy in the voyager range, or the deluxe one, then I must inform you that 'Classics' voyager Megs does not have a waist.

I've taken one apart, I should know.

While I was fiddling around Cybertron Soundwave's gun (the one with two barrels) last night, I found out that gun has a aiming mirror (if this is the right term) to flip up. Yes, big boss's gallery here did it right. :oops:

Uh, yeah... I checked it out, and yeah, it's pretty useless as a waist joint.

It's a transformation joint. It can't be used as a waist at all.

Let's just call it a "joint located in the waist that's used for transformation, locked in place in robot mode" :lol:

I'm assuming Blaster's got the same gig going on? If so, I need to check that out next time I've got him out!

Totally didn't know about this!!
