I'm going to have to start compiling all of these endorsements.

Seriously, I had no interest in him at first, but the set of deluxes I have in my loot pile at BBTS has him in it and yet when I saw him at Walmart I had to go ahead and buy another one of him and Fireflight to customize. Alpha Bravo just looks too cool and has a great alt mode as well. I really want to try to do some detail paint apps and a wash to bring out all the nice details in the mold.

You might need to dig back into this thread when I said he was probably my favourite of the CW Deluxes so far

I don't like him. Johnny Come-lately, kicking Slingshot out and being all cheesy and characterless. Ruined copter-bots forever, he has. Does he have to hug Powerglide to keep up with the others? Lolicopter more like...

alpha bravo is the best copter bot.

He does. He says "open me...you know you want to, I'll make you regret it, but you waaant toooo...."

It's hard to sleep sometimes, but he's unacceptable.

Comparisons:

Any chance you can compare this Megatron with ROTF Leader Class Megatron? Just curious to see how they stack up together.

How does Alpha Bravo stack up with the Movie Evac/Blackout mold?

by **peaces** » Sat Feb 14, 2015 10:31 am

Alpha Bravo is better in all facets, even if he's a size-class smaller. That's just me.

Thanks for these shots, prjkt. Do you have the CW Voyager Optimus and both Toyworld's Orion and Hegemon figures? If so, could you do a side-by-side comparison pic like the one above?

I think a 3rd Party may produce a new cannon. It might not fit for the alt mode but it may be usable for bot mode. Does that cannon detach from the arm at all?

Here's Hegemon and Orionvil with Combiner Wars Megatron. Note that CW Megatron's fusion cannon is not removable, but Hegemon's one is, and fits on CW Megatron's left hand well.

Hegemon's fusion cannon (as well as the gun muzzle) can fit nicely on CW Megatron in tank mode, too. My Hegemon is TW-01B so I don't have the silencer or stock.

Never realized how fat/bloated Hegemon's legs were.

Megatron? More like Megathighs, amiright?

News Credits: 119 · by **megatronus** » Sat Feb 14, 2015 12:37 pm

I don't mind CW Megatrons fusion cannon - my only (minor) gripe is how the tip of the cannon shaft sticks out the back. I wish the girth was uniform .
