Wave 1 was not manufactured with the same material as their other 6" lines. I didn't touch Wave 2. These are pure action figures unhindered by kibble or limited articulation to accommodate transformations. I'm looking at you, waist swivel-less Seeker mold.

This is an action figure that will only ever look good in a static pose. For me personally, that's perfect, it's just for display purposes as part of a Unicron scene. I think this is kind of the ideal use case for R.E.D., because the rest of the time a converting figure is better.
It's a dream for stop motion animation projects.
But the reformatting megs only works for 1 stop motion frame.

Walmart has R.E.D. Megatron on sale for $12... Snagged one, and for that price I can overlook the issues this figure has!!

Hoping they do that in my area too. I'd snag Cheetor just to have the gun for my Netflix figure.
I'm kind of tempted by the Starscream too, just as a display piece. But I know we're getting studio series Coronation Starscream, so I probably don't need the R.E.D.

Bruh, just turn the figure round.
But yeah, they messed up. Though if its not released yet, they can revise the figure...

Forget that, it wasn't even Megatron who had the grid pattern over him, it was Galvatron. Megatron starts with the xray (which would have looked REALLY cool painted over the figure) going left to right and followed by horizontal lines covering the xray from the bottom up that reshape him into Galvatron, then the horizontal lines take on a grid pattern as they take on color. And really, the figure should be transparent black, it only looked purple in the movie because of the glowing lines. Whoever designed this did it by faulty memory.

For me, if it weren't for these figures doing the grid pattern I never would have remembered the grid since it's a blink and you'll miss it moment in the whole sequence. It's literally on the screen for a second, maybe two. They spend a lot more time focusing on the xray, that'll always bee the most memorable part of that sequence to me. I'd take the horizontal lines over the grid.

I just rewatched it and I think some people interchange the grid with the X-Ray. Turns out the Megatron body never has a grid pattern. The grid pattern is present on galvatron right before his new cartoon self is revealed. It's 1 second long.

However they can't seem to keep any WFC stocked at any retailer across the nation.
Odd priorities.
MaximalNui wrote:So, is Prime Dark Energon Megatron going to be a new version of Unicron-possessed Megatron from the TV movie? If so, it's a bummer it doesn't transform, but at least we'll have an accurate representation instead of a simple repaint or a Construct-Bots with their buildable aestethic. Also, swappable weapons/hands would be the best way to incorporate his Dark Energon weapons.
