Thanks s250!

That is an awesome tank mode, but as always the robot mode ruins it IMO.

This tank looks to have some sort of jet shape top unlike the Leader Class version. I like the colors, might pick this one up as well.

I think this proves that Megatron combines with the Fallen during the movie, Same Color scheme and some of the parts look like the Fallens.

Am I alone in thinking that it looks like Piranacon?

Not saying that's a bad thing, if you want a nongestaltic alien-looking tank-moded Piranacon for your collection.

Evil,now in lite blue.

What the heck? I'll reserve final judgement until we see a confirmed proper transformation, but it's looking too blue/green and too weird in tank mode.

Tank mode looks cool but that robot mode sucks. Scrapmetaltron doesnt work bay so get rid of him.

For a Voyager it has a good hefty look. Those images make it look bigger than it probably is but I like it. The colours work well together and there is plenty of detail without being too busy.

Can't blame Bay - he didn't write the script, he just runs around shouting "more explosions!"

The tank is either mistransformed or just wrong. The back and front treads don't line up like on the others. It's also missing mini rocket launchers or something from the back. And the robot mode - apart from the shell on his back and the lack of hands is not bad.

Galvatron? Fallatron? Megafall? ...or just simply Ugly Mofo?

Gorge Garcia, what am I looking at here. Pastels on Megatron...

-SIGH-

You know, I understand that Transformers is nothing more than a marketing blitz for a better children's rubic's cube, but WTF?

Has Has/tak/tom given up on the audience that actually has an income it is willing to devote to a hobby?

Do i have to rely on that bad-ass HOS prime to get my fix?

Gee, thanks for the repaints from your craptacular unicron block for the 25th anniversary of the franchise...

To the readers, I'm sorry, I had to vent. It's not good to keep these things bottled up... and here, at least, 1 or 2 would agree.

[edit- the worse thing is, I'm more interested in the set that the pic's were taken against than the actual figure.]

Tank...UFO...thing!!! That alt-mode looks awesome and way better than his first Voyager class iced-up jet, though I sense quite a bit of shellformerism in bot-mode Megatron's large backpack. I have to say, the green tinge does seem a bit out of place.

A Megatron/Fallen combiner, now that seems a bit weird. Is there such a thing as having too many combiners mashing together in the next movie? :-?

by **Urzu Six** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 4:00 am

Well, at least he looks happy...

Not surptisingly, the movie lines and the toys connected with them continue to be controversial. For those of us who are less than thrilled with the movies and the designs of the toys (and I inclued myself in this):
Just... breath.
It's all good. These movies will bring in new fans, who will buy more toys, which will prompt Hasbro/Takara/Tomy to produce MORE toys, and give them enogh cash to feel confident enough to produce something the Old Skool (G1, RID, BEASTWARS, UNICRON TRILAGY fans will dig. Just think of the money you're saving for the next series of CLASSICS, or try to get ewxited about the prospect of what we'll be getting next year. And every now and then Just... Breath.

Yes! i don't like the leader, and this one will save me money!

News Credits: 3 · by **Giant Purple Griffin** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 5:46 am

I think I'll end up getting this one instead of the leader. I hope that have a voyager Jetfire too. :idea:

by **glazer** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 5:54 am

maybe a buy here-- although need actual size compare-
Who am i kidding.this may be my first movie Megs. that I like- i'm sure the color will grow on me..
Whats that rumor?? Megs. screen time is super short?? well I hope that is just a rumor.. I want to see ...Megs.'s... alt. kick some autobot butt.
1 out 10 - I give him a 7 ----site unseen :lol:

by **Prime Riblet** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 5:58 am

complete pass. just don't like it at all. :-(

News Credits: 1 · by **rpetras** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 6:02 am

It's a bit of a shell-former, but I dig it overall.

News Credits: 150 · by **GetterDragun** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 6:55 am

The head on this one looks so much better than the Leader Class. The Leader Class looks like they stuck Animated Megatron's head on it.

News Credits: 127 · by **Counterpunch** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 6:56 am

I actually like this one.

News Credits: 1 · by **Cheetron** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 7:08 am

Every bone in my body is screaming for me to stay away from this toy.

The first movie's one looked nice and I really liked him more than the leader version. But once I touched it, it completely sucked.
