Cybertronian Megatron Review

[robpeter1]

id say this is the best megatron ever, definatly my favourite one, and i do see him as g1 i know hes pre g1 but he fits in really well, id love a galvatron slight remould of this too

[PiperMMMMMMMMMM]

11:11, should have been painted

[WolfKang1]

@PiperMMMMMMMMMM ... Sure as hell would have nice! Lol

Hey there Ger,

FFS, I hate YouTube; this vid didn't turn up in my sub-box >:( Still, luverly figure. Arguably one of my favourite renditions of a G1 universe Megatron. Certainly my favourite "pre-Earth" Megs. The angular look really works for him :) Also, that be one mighty fusion cannon he's packing. A Galvatron repaint/re-mould could be quite spectacular; he's already got a very suitable alt mode for it. It may not actually be necessary to do a head swap; a few glued on horns to represent..

[ExaggeratedElegy]

@ExaggeratedElegy

...Galvatron's crown motiff might work just as well. Also, he'd rock the purple.

hope all's well,

George

[WolfKang1]

@ExaggeratedElegy ... Hmmm... Perhaps you're right. But I will try a head swap just to see what it looks like. If it looks like it could be an utter failiure, then I will think about gluing on home made horns... or taking them off something else.

[BrewsterMcCloud1974]

Nice addition to the collection mate!

[WolfKang1]

@BrewsterMcCloud1974 ... Many thanks Dimitri.

This is a Bloody good Look for Old Megas and i glad i own this figure...Great review on this one as well Gerard

[WolfKang1]

@angelsdaddy87 ... Cheers Logan! :)

[TheTruePhantasm]

fantastic review as always my friend i really need to still pick him up maybe in birmingham in a couple of weeks....keep up the Brilliant work Gerard

[WolfKang1]

@TheTruePhantasm will be impressed with him when you get hold of him. I certainly want one or two more to kitbash and upgrade.

[TheTruePhantasm]

@WolfKang1 i have seen someone do a couple of kitbashes in to Topspin and twintwist they looked pretty neat

[WolfKang1]

@TheTruePhantasm ... Interesting choices for sure. I however, will be going for a cybertronian Galvatron. I hope it works.

[zizzlerizzle8707]

Great review. completely agree with your verdict on this toy.

[WolfKang1]

@zizzlerizzle8707 ... Thanks Zack. Glad you enjoyed.

[transfan1988]

I like this figure a lot, but what´s been keeping me from getting it is that I prefer to spend my money on new characters and not differents versions of a single one. And this has been the year for that because I already have Classics Megatron, but I didn´t have Straxus, Skullgrin, Thunderwing, Tracks, Scourge, Wheeljack, Kup or Shockwave, so I´ve been focusing on them.

[WolfKang1]

@transfan1988 ... Good point. I found the classics Megatron hard to swallow as he didn't look that menacing. But i find that this mold of the character suits him in particular.

[vh2k]

I completely agree. The paint scheme on the back of the card is fantastic, it's a shame they didn't use it for the toy.

[WolfKang1]

@vh2k ... It's a shame they don't do it with any of them really.

[Skullgrin140]

I have always liked how Megatron looks in WFC, also to have his design in toy form is even better because the design for it is spot on, not a single thing out of place. Also you have a nice jumper, great as always sir.

[WolfKang1]

@Skullgrin140 ... Well put Sami. Lol

[GWolfV3]

Oh, and since I know you're watching it, I am assuming there will be a Beast Wars opinion piece.

[WolfKang1]

@GWolfV3 ... I will give my thoughts on the show in general once I have finished it. I have only recently started season 2.

[GWolfV3]

@WolfKang1 I'm just laying the hammer down sir.

[GWolfV3]

Is it sad...that I kinda want that jumper?

Also, figure I would love to get. At AA last year it was him or Straxus. Glad I got straxus but still...

[WolfKang1]

@GWolfV3 ... I don't think you would regret owing this toy in the slightest. And yes, wanting a jumper like mine will not elevate you into the realms of uber cool. In fact, it may very well put you on a lower standing. It did me. Lol

[GWolfV3]

@WolfKang1 Pfft. Jumpers are cool.

And I think if I do make AA (iffy) I'll pick him up

[TFKNOWLSY]

great review mate, love this toy, might pick it up at AA.

[WolfKang1]

@TFKNOWLSY ... He is very cool. Funny, for some reason I thought you had one already. Lol

[TFKNOWLSY]

@WolfKang1 no i havnt got him, i nearly got him at AA last year.

[WolfKang1]

@xXxGORDO702xXx ... I have seen photos of the two of them. But I would never be able to afford wither one. So it kinda makes sense for me to buy a generations version on the cheap and just fuck that up instead. Lol

[Reuseable1]

it looks like the ROTF Megatron in tank mode.

[WolfKang1]

@Reuseable1 ... Does it? I'd never thought of that. I have been close to buying the RotF version of Megatron several times, and every time I decided not to bother.

[Reuseable1]

@WolfKang1 it kinda does, i only own 3 megatrons anyways, 1st movie, Animated and ROTF. Love my leader class toys

[WolfKang1]

@Reuseable1 ... I wish I had room for a few more leader sized figures myself. Lol
