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

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.

I'm Wave 4.

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.

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

Thought so. Thanks for the explanation.

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.

I remember everyone was bagging this figure out when the first mistransformed pics were revealed. Now it's all praise!
Can't wait to get this Megs, looks awesome!

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

Good to know your all Decepticons too, otherwise i'd have to rough you up! hehe.
