Got this bootleg Megatron for only Php20, or roughly, less than half a dollar!

GUN MODE

Trigger does not work, and no accessories are included.

ROBOT MODE

Say hello to my little friend!

Super Deformed Megatron!!!

Black face and red eyes = pure evil!

It's a shame that I don't have my Bumblebee keychain with me. It would be fun to take some pics with these two side-by-side...

The bootleg comes in other color combinations, but the red and black combo is the most sinister-looking.

PROS
- a novelty
- good and simple transformation
- makes a great candidate for customizing
- good arm articulation
- stable and solid in both modes
- not brittle plastic

CONS
- for its price? nothing! unless a cute midget megatron disturbs you...

RATING

5 out of 5

Sure it doesn't have much details, sure it looks cheap, but for the price, you really can't pass this up! Get one of these and bully your micromasters/minicons! :D

And the only way to break this bootleg is if you do it intentionally.

Haha, I thought I was the only one with those things. I have the grey one as well.

I bought some items from Toy Hell http://toyhell.com/
and the owner threw a couple of these in as freebies cause I ordered so much.

They are so awful they are actually funny.

Is that Chrono Q Megs as a KO recolour? Or is it a completely new mould?

:DEVIL:

lol, i actually picked up one of those Destron Monarch G1 megs KOs the other day, loose as hell in bot mode, but looks sweet in gun mode (which is how it will stay), could do with a repaint (chrome is crappy in places) and some repro labels maybe, but still its cool
