He looks kind of cool. Is he any good?

The G2 Hero Megatron mould is one of my favourites. Nicely posable if a little hard to balance due to a lack of surface area on the feet. The air bellow gimmick on the missile launcher doesn't really work though.
There have been four variations of the mould, G2 Hero Megatron (purple with black camo), G2 Archforce (as G2 Megs but with different stickers, European variant), RiD Bludgeon (yellow) and the remoulded Robot Masters Reverse Convoy/Rebirth Megatron (blue with different weapons and a head switching gimmick). There's also a recent KO version called Backroom Commandant that is an oversized version of the RM retool.
I've got mine posed with different weapon fits. Hero Megs gets all his original bits, Bludgeon gets Energon Starscream (original deco)'s sword and Rebirth Megs gets the missiles from Bludgeon.
Cool mould that I'd recomend anyone to pick up. If Bludgeon's colours or character appeal to you most then go for that one, but they're all worth a look.

It's an awesome mold, but all of the official color schemes are terrible. I repainted mine G1 style, but unfortunately I never finished it.

i picked him up cheap on an ebay auction no one was watching. i love him.
i also love the rid scourge to go along with him.
the paint's not the best, but the overall figure is worth it.

the figure is ok, one of the better G2 molds in that it has pretty good articulation but the bellows doesn't stay on very well and the bellows gimmick doesn't work that great either. The figure is better w/out the bellows...
