They could have added some hinges to tuck in Kingdom Core Megs's backpack better. But I really, really LOVE that little guy. Better yet than the RTS one. The colors are magnificent, he look powerful in bot mode, the tank is big and bad-ass, plus... he play with himself. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Technically Cyberverse tank Megatron fits in my book even as a joke entry.

There was a reason i got this Cyberverse Megatron to get rid of the terrible green tank Megatron from the classics The Ultimate Battle 2-Pack which i main bought for the Optimus figure. That green Megatron had a lot of problems on mine. The gimmick was terrible, the claw always fell off a LOT and the mushroom joint on elbow on the left arm couldn't stay straight.

I know 1 step changers aren't much since i missed out on a lot of definitive G1 Megatron's because of budget limitations but Cyberverse Megatron was better than classics tank Megatron ever was. I even said Starscream's favorite quote before i chugged into the garbage can :HEADHURTS:

Starscream: Oh, how it pains me to do this!

Megatron: Wait! I still function!

Starscream: Wanna bet?

[Starscream lets Megatron's body drift from the open shuttle door into space]

Megatron: Starscream!... argh!...

Cyberverse deluxe Megatron and the Battle Call Armor one are excellent though.

Cyberverse Megatron 1-Step Megatron was last year purchase. But i do remember that when bought deluxe Grimlock (with one of Maccadam arms) this year... i did see Megatron from that same line as Grimlock but i think he's sold out, i only remeber seeing him once.

I don't regret buying Grimlock, but his crown can be hard to get onto robot head.

I have that cyberverse deluxe megatron, and i'll say if you can still find him, get him (heck, maybe some member here can lend a help on that). Only drawback i found is that he is loosey goosey out of the box, but some dab of polish, and he is a hella fun toy. Looks good in both mode, transformation is more fun than siege mold. Articulations are great too, one of the very few official toy to have butterfly joints on the shoulder.

Since this has gone into Cyberverse, which Cyberverse Megatron do you all think is the best? If you had to choose just ONE?

I just never got into the line, so I have little idea what it offers outside of Hot Rod (I collect Hot Rods).

Honestly, I really love the Battle Call Armor Megatron. He's different enough from the rest and he's a fun little package.

I’ve always loved the Japanese version of Classics Megs.

I love that deluxe, the transformation is involved for a toy that size.

My Top 2 definitely would be the latest MP and Super Megatron, with an honorable mention to the Combiner Wars Leader class incarnation -- loved that face and silver tank alt mode.

That Kingdom Core Megz is also a lot of fun, as Kanrabat mentioned!

Looks like people either LOVE or HATE that little guy. No in-between. :-?

Super Megatron? Pah! Tis' but a soppy milk-drinker. We Nords have our own Megatron.

Always funny to see a photo of mine end up somewhere else. (Although I can't say I haven't done the same on my website... :-P

)

Which picture is that?

The one of Masterpiece Starscream holding Legends Megatron.

If you look under the photo, they were even kind enough to put a little text crediting my website. I do appreciate that, since I was always too lazy to watermark my photos, haha. Although if I was going to be picky, it should be "Yotsuya's Reviews," rather than "Yotsuya Reviews."

Man, I haven't written a review in ages... You'd think the pandemic would have given me the time. Just been harder to find the energy for it the last few years. But it's always a possibility... It's not like I have stopped collecting Transformers! Of course, even when I started the website, the written review was a bit archaic. Most people want to just watch a YouTube video. I'm not exactly one to compete with the talents of an EmGo or a Thew...

Well, that was nice of them, bless their little Seibertron cotton socks!

Written info is still appreciated about TFs though. I don't always want to watch a video that deals with the faults of a toy, or fixes, so search results to written reviews are always welcome!

I was thinking and I could definitely make an eventual list of top 5 gun megatrons.

Counting noticeably different releases, we have about a dozen out there. Could be fun.

Let me see...

2 MP 05 releases

2 MP 36 releases

4 classics "nerf gun" releases

4 distinct G1 types (at least, maybe more)

2 Choro Q releases

1 RTS release
