It's nice to see Hasbro explore more of the G1 Universe by dipping back into the history of Cybertron and the origins of various characters. The Rise of Tyranny two-pack gives us a look at the IDW versions of Megatron back when it was a miner with a vision, and Ratbat when it was a Senator. Unfortunately, the many uses of the Seige Megatron mold have resulted in a Miner Megatron that can barely stand without being counterbalanced by its weapons. Rat Bat is fantastic and might be the best use of the mold since SS 86 Scourge. My recommendation boils down to this, while the issues with Megatron can be fixed, at this price point is it worth it and can you justify paying that much for Ratbat? If you can answer yes to either or both points then you might find some real enjoyment to this set.
