Over the past few years, Megatron toys haven't exactly been the cream of the crop. That might change soon however, as the Dark Energon wielder and master of the War For Cybertron Decepticons is about to get a figure in the Generations toyline. A Wave Two release, Cybertronian Megatron has already been released in Malaysia, and with that Seibertron.com member Meister79 was able to snag the figure. He's taken numerous photos of the figure, we'll mirror some below, while the rest can be seen in our forums!

Looks real nice. Can't wait to get him.

This guy gets just about everything right

1. he accomplishes a screen accurate bot and vehicle mode
2. he has a deceptive transformation...it hits that sweet spot where its really simple but it has some intresting points in the process
3. it has a freaking big gun

the only problem is the grey...I'm not sure how good it is in person but in pictures and video it just seems a little to light

still, I'm not getting him

why?

because my brother is getting him and since I'm older, I'm entitled to play with any of his TFs whenever I want to :lol:

Can he hold Optimus or Bumblebee's guns at all? I'm pretty sure neither of the autobots can hold the fusion cannon since you said it kinda latches on.

All hail Megatron

Unfortunately, he can't hold other figure's guns.
He lacks the standard 5mm hole in the fists, due to the fact that his fingers are molded in a half pointing position, with his index and middle finger pointing out.

Actually, this is part of his transformation. His index and middle fingers are together and his ring and little fingers are molded together. When he transforms to tank mode, his fist actually splits apart.

Anyone know when he's supposed to come out at retail? Also, is Blurr part of wave 2? Because I got the Drift version and LOVE him and the Blurr mold will probably be great to. :???:

Honestly wasn't even concerned with this figure, but it's looking pretty sweet.

May get one after all.

Meister79, can you tell me if he has a bicep swivel please? He looks great but I can't quite work out if he has this vital feature!

I'm probably going to get one. Too bad there won't be a leader class...or will there?

No. Generations is a Legends and Deluxe Class line, only. Hasbro's confirmed this several times.
They said it gives them more freedom to design while keeping the costs low. It's much easier to design for those size classes anyway. The larger they are, the more complex they must be.

That is one sweet bot mode. I really don't like the alt though. But that is one sweet bot mode!

WFC Megatron and Darkmount? Released? In M'sia no less?

The hunt is on. (for the figures as well as the titanium stand misplaced somewhere in my room)

Thought so.

Thanks for the explanation.

Megatron looks amazing. I'll be picking up all of Wave 2. We've seen Straxus, now what about WFC Soundwave?

Re: Extensive Look at Generations Cybertronian Megatron (1110094)
Posted by RiddlerJ on August 7th, 2010 @ 9:25am CDT

Arrrraaaghgh! I wasn't going to get him, but now looking at those pics. Just...can't...help it

At first, I thought they were the original characters, and if they were, I was gonna pass, as I already have the Classics Deluxe-scale Prime and Megs. But now that I know they are new characters, they're a definite buy for me, especially Megatron. He's one hell of a sharpshooter in WFC, of I do say so myself. :lol:

This looks awesome. I definitely hope to pick him up alongside Prime and Bumblebee. Generations is shaping up to be a great line. Aside from retools and redecos, I haven't seen one figure yet that I wouldn't consider buying.

Posted by RK_Striker_JK_5 on August 7th, 2010 @ 3:42pm CDT

Looks awesome.

can't wait to get him. Ugh, and i didn't want the WFC toys in the first place! :sad:

Re: Extensive Look at Generations Cybertronian Megatron (1110264)
Posted by YoungPrime on August 7th, 2010 @ 7:01pm CDT

If he was about two inches taller he'd be the Best Megatron ever! In robot form anyway. So this will be a definite buy for me!

Re: Extensive Look at Generations Cybertronian Megatron (1110270)
Posted by rasky47 on August 7th, 2010 @ 7:22pm CDT

Seriously, I've spent too many hours of my life playing WFC. I love that game. Gonna get all the figures for sure.

Come on, Hasbro!! We're buying them up like hotcakes! We need more!! How about Ratchet and Starscream??

Also, I'd totally buy a voyager class Megatron and Optimus, even if they were exactly the same, just so they'd kinda be in scale.

Re: Extensive Look at Generations Cybertronian Megatron (1110308)
Posted by Oilspill on August 7th, 2010 @ 10:30pm CDT

Yeah, I'd like to know if he has a bicep swivel (or a swivel just below the elbow) too?

I remember everyone was bagging this figure out when the first mistransformed pics were revealed. Now it's all praise! :lol:

Can't wait to get this Megs, looks awesome!

This is supposed to be shelves in September right?

Re: Extensive Look at Generations Cybertronian Megatron (1110388)

To everyone who asked:

Yes! He has bicep swivel!

It will make a nice edition for my Delux collection, especially opposite WFC Optimus Prime.

Man am I late to get this figure. If you miss it in Vancouver, you pretty much missed it. Got it from Seatle though, and man, its pretty much the best Megatron. If scale isn't an issue for you though, coz he atleast fits in with the tons of other classics characters, but yea. The gun, the head, the overall angles and porpotions are pretty dead on, and the little variations from say, G1, is not badly intergrated with the pre-earth version; quite the opposite. This post is basically to let people know if you haven't gotten one, or are on the fence, give in and get it. Finally a killer Megatron that doesn't have skinny legs, or wierd animated porpotions, or boring aesthetics.

And a kickass alien tank mode to boot. My treads are tight enough to hold it with the turret facing straight/upwards, so it isn't a problem with everyones that it faces down with the treads out.

WFC Megs is still getting plenty of sightings in Vancouver. Saw 3 or 4 last time I was in TRU.

Try Bowmac TRU on Broadway, that's where I saw them.

...Except I just realized you already got him. :lol:

And welcome to the site! Always cool to see more Canadians, especially from the Vancouver area.

I never even knew about the TRU on broadway haha, I will probably check that out too know for the next guys I want to collect, Blurr, Hailstorm, and Terradive.
Good to know your all Decepticons too, otherwise i'd have to rough you up! hehe.
Cheers
