To sum it up, this is one of my favourite figures I own at the moment. He is hands down my favourite titan figure, which is tough to say considering I absolutely adore Omega Supreme. I just love the aesthetic of this figure, and its actually fun to transform and display (unlike Fort Max/Trypticon). He is incredibly articulated, including a neck joint to allow him to look down one click which I think is such a good feature. Makes him feel very imposing looking down on his enemies. He is also incredible hefty, it feels worth the price tag, and really doesn't feel hollow. Only minor hollow part is in his legs but thats just for where his feet go in the other modes. All space is used up by every mode, and its incredible.
For the alt modes, I definitely prefer scorpion mode, its just huge and imposing and I love how well it pulls it off. My only minor complaint is I feel it could have done with another joint in the arms more in the middle to make a more natural bend of the claw, but that is a VERY minor complaint, it still looks great as is. The base mode doesn't look like anything special, but I wasn't expecting it to be. It does the job well enough, and thats the most important part of it! I think its also good they included a spot to store the head in base mode, as well as an area for the titan master to ride the scorpion mode (even if you do have to untransform him a bit).
Zarak looks great, and feels great. Kind of sucky that you have to remove the orange ears to put them on the back, but honestly its another very minor complaint on an otherwise perfect figure. Even Zarak has ankle pivot! Miles better than Cerebros, even if he is smaller!
Overall I'm incredibly impressed with this figure, a good final pit stop before stopping my collecting days, go out with a bang as they say! Would recommend this to anyone who is even remotely interested!
Also, in response to a previous comment, the visor is detachable, however you need to remove a screw to do so. I thought I'd have to put the screw back in, but it actually holds in very well without, so leaving the screw loose gives you the option permanently!

Are you getting this titan? Do you think he stacks up? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!
It seems like he's an all-new mold with no mold/ parts-sharing. Is that right? There were those who said he was a heavy re-mold of Omega Supreme. 
I wonder what the angle is with it. Afterall according to the Japanese G1 timeline, Megs and Optimus did ally together for a while (the truce broke down in the lead up to the Japanese G2 release), megs became a good guy in the IDW stories, Transformers Prime had him renouncing evil at its end. I can't remember what happened with megs in the prime wars trilogy though, other than he was snarky as hell but wasn't the bad guy. Are we about to see a twist in this tale?
