If you guys want this Megatron as much as I do, I found a place that still has him for pre-order, http://scramblecore.com/products/transformers-generations-megatron. Problem is once you pre-order you can't cancel it. I've never ordered from them before, but I found it when I was on Tumblr and the price isn't bad. 9.50 for shipping for me. So it came to $52.00 altogether.

i think.... i.. REALLY like him.
he has no place in my collection, as he doesnt fit with generations or MP, but i dont care. hes just cool, and looks fun.

I'm starting to think the same about him, but unless BBTS breaks up more cases, there is little chance of men buying him.

But would women still buy him?

Damn auto correct! First time I use my tablet to post in ages and that happens

Can't speak for all of us, but this will be bought on sight as soon as it gets to my neck of the woods.

finally an offical new megatron toy thats spot on in looks to his G1 robot self at least the closest i have seen, not including masterpiece

[fenrir72]

Mean looking maderfarker! (In a good bad@ss kind of way) 10 out of 10! He does have some serious compensation issue though.

You can get both Generations Megatrons for $89.99 shipped from Entertainment Earth at http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodi ... NbIPPmjNcY

Crud! I wish I knew how Motormaster and the Legends got out so early. I can't cancel my pre-order from Robot Kingdom so I'm stuck waiting. Then again Murphy's Law, I order them then they come in stock at RK.

Entertainment Earth is where I got them from.

I also have them on order from Robot Kingdom and at BBTS. My solution nowadays is basically to order cases from everyone and sell off the extras when I get them via the Seibertron.com store. That way I get them from wherever they come into first. I'm done with retail hunting. It's much easier to just buy cases everywhere, especially now that I've got two little ones and am photographing the boxes anyways for the Seibertron.com galleries.

I'm in the same delema as Chuck. The wave 1 has shown up in retail here but I have already paid for dragstrip and have the other stunticons on preorder so its a toss up whether I should just cancel my preorder and wait till wave 2 comes into retail or just wait the preorder out as we might not end up getting wave 2 here in New Zealand

I discovered Robot kingdom at the end of the year when Wave 1 CW hit so I grabbed those just to get them to review. I pre-ordered wave 2 with them beginning of January, then they got delayed. Can't cancel them now so I hope they come soon.

Ok, now, that looks badass.

[Super Megatron]

This figure is SO bought on sight.

[Wolfman Jake]

I can hardly wait to get this figure in my paws. I've got it and the Armada retool preordered together from TFSource. I hope they come in this month as scheduled. Stuff has a way of ending up at TFSource several weeks later than other online retailers.

As for the legs, I don't think they look all that "spindly." G1 Megatron, toy or cartoon model, didn't have beefy legs, or arms for that matter. I think part of what makes the legs look too skinny for some is that his arms are THICK. Megatron's got GUNS.

[Sabrblade]

Look! He has decals of his G1 chest hairs!

[G1OPT1MU5PR1M3]

This is f***in awesome... in so many ways this is better then the G1 toy and while the masterpiece figure was by far one of the worst versions (physics wise) this figure belongs in the top 5

[Wolfman Jake]

Look! He has decals of his G1 chest hairs!

Looking at some close up shots of Megatron's chest, I can't figure out where those stickers actually fit, without covering up already existing sculpted and painted detail. Also, where does that "grill" sticker go?

[-Kanrabat-]

Motormaster defenitely look better than Optimus Prime. Also, that little scout cars is too ! However, the scout car just parking itself onto the combined mode chest... It's just lazy and stupid. Why don't the car have a proper 3rd mode, an "armor mode" like the PCC minicon or even the CW scouts that change into a gun as a bonus mode?

I was wondering this too. I think those stickers are smaller than the picture alludes. Look how tiny the insignia actually is on the toy.

You could argue that pegging the ax sideways enhances the experience. Personally I think the chest closed looks closer to that G1 drone

it looks like the same sticker that went on the scope barrell/arm cannon on the g1 toy but there is only one the g1 toy had two

Who needs in hand images when you can go watch a VIDEO REVIEW of this piece of G1 beauty?!?! But seriously a youtuber by the name of Mohd Hafiz has posted a review of Leader Class Combiner Wars Megatron. Copy this link https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LridhafpzD0 to see old Buckethead himself, boy this toy is going to be sweeet!

[MenaSuperion]

Hey hypothetically, if Han Solo and Decepticon Blackjack ever met, do you think Han would get angry and say his iconic line "Never Tell Me the Odds"? Anyways i think Blackjack looks good and fits in well with the stunticon crew (also, the fact that his character calculates the odds of everything and can bet on anything is so awesome)

[fenrir72]

From the same source as yesterday's news story on Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Leader Megatron, we're happy to report a new selection of in-hand images of the bucket-head himself - including shots of both tank and robot mode, articulation close-ups, comparisons, poses and the sticker sheet featuring Decepticon, Autobot and chest pattern for all your Megatron wishes. Check them out below!

Saw another review. So the turret can be shortened. And the position of the canon is reversed. Aside from that, oooooooooooooooooh can't wait for May 2015! And does functional treads...........! They managed to implement it for the leader scale.....AWESOME!

[fenrir72]

I don't know about all of you, but my favorite Megatron of the last decade is the recent Takara Legends Megatron w/ Chopshop:




If they had ups-ized this mold/design to a voyager with greater articulation and better proportions (probably possible in a larger size class), I would have been all over it.

Those colors are still very wrong for that mold.

Why?

The little car was attached 'as is' on our buddy Menasor back in 1985, so he's accurate in that sense. Consider yourself lucky he has a robot mode this time. Respect your geewun, young punk!

[Wolfman Jake]

That YouTube review I think has vindicated the "spindly" legs of this Megatron a bit. Seeing the figure in motion, moved around into various poses, the insides of Megatron's legs have a LOT more texture and width than the still pictures might have you believe. There are lots of spots where the plating from the outside of the tank and some other sculpted details bulk out the legs a bit on the insides. Plus, it helps to pose him with his legs slightly angled out instead of straight forward. The arms still look a little too big, which I think could have been rectified if they had engineered the panels that fold up to reveal his fists to sit flush against the plastic of the forearm instead of sticking out a good centimeter or so.

[Cobotron]

Looks good in the video. The shin plates that slide down when you flip the foot, are a nice touch. The proportions look fine, and man, is he shiny! Would like to see him next to Classics and CW Prime.
