Another incomplete tank!

Yup, I got another one.

This is the most prolific and common Megatron ever. He’s been re-released and repainted so many times it’s a bit weird it took me this long to get one.

I got Megatron for cheap in a lot of figures but he’s missing his staff/right arm. Let’s take a quick look!

Robot mode

In robot mode, Megatron is an obvious homage to the big G2 Megatron. The big brick one. It’s not a direct update though. The most noticeable difference in design is that there’s no huge cannon on Megatron’s shoulder. The other big difference is that this Megatron isn’t gigantic.

For posability, Megatron is a nice surprise. He’s got pretty much everything. He’s only really lacking up and down at the head as well as ankle tilts. Oh yeah, his right arm is missing an elbow but does have a swivel due to the staff gimmick. Wish I had said staff.

Vehicle mode

Megatron is a tank. A tank that’s missing his cannon and top chunk of turret. But look on the bright side! Megatron can see where he’s going now! If he did have the cannon and top part of the turret there’d be almost no visible kibble in tank mode. Nice.

For playability, the tank turret rotates 360° and there are tiny rolling wheels on the bottom of the tank.

Closing

Megatron is much better than I thought he’d be. He’s a lot of fun even without his tank cannon/staff. I’m gonna get a complete version of this mold at some point.

Maybe the Hero repaint? Hmm.
