New Gallery: Combiner Wars Leader Class Armada Megatron

I would love to see a Tidal Wave to go along with him.

they should do a g2 retool of this and color it like g2 megatron. i would buy it.

Do the Megatrons each have different handguns? It's looks like they do in the pics.

I'm getting both of these. I like the G1 Megatron better, but it'd be nice to have the Armada one to keep Armada Starscream and Hot Shot company. I do wish they remolded him a little more so that, for example, he could have his capture claws at the front of the tank.

They are, but they are dangling out from under the front. Pretty cool.

I just wish his legs were thicker and the turret came out under his arm, etc.

They have the same combining gun. It's two smaller pieces that combine to make a larger two handled gun.

If I did an Autobot group shot with "Autobot" Megatron, which 1/2 dozen figures from the past few years would you like to see with Megatron? I was thinking Tailgate, Brainstorm, Cloud Rodimus ... not sure who else though.

I actually really like Combiner Wars Armada Megatron. My biggest gripe is that he has the same gun as "G1" Megatron as well as the same chest plate. I wish they had done something to remold that part to differentiate it more from the other Megatron.

I also wish the giant cannon was detachable so that it could be on his hip, or on its right should for a G2 Megatron.

Oh yeah. Now I see it. Would've been cool if he had the blade the original had.

And I do see that the head (and claws) are under the tank front/chestplate. I'm trying to see if there's some way to leave the chest flipped up in tank mode but I don't think so since it looks like the arms have to swing there to form the turret. If the chestplate was removable altogether...

Now that's a gallery I'd love to see!

-Generations/RTS Perceptor
-Generations Whirl
-Generations Swerve
-Generations Skids
-Generations Drift
-Universe/Generations Cyclonus
-Beast Hunters Weaponizer Ultra Magnus (because that's be in the same size class as Megs, if MP Ultra Magnus is unavailable)
-Fall of Cybertron data disc Rewind
-TFCC(?) Chromedome (the TF Prime Wheeljack re-tool)

Cloud Rodimus
Generations Whirl
Generations Tailgate
Generations Trailbreaker
Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus, since the good one isn't ready yet
RTS Perceptor

The hand gun should definitely have been replaced with a Leader One! I wish he was more in scale with Starscream.

This post has most I was going to add along with the 3 Seibertron listed. But I would do TFCC Chromedome and Rewind. Nightbeat, Hoist, Trailbreaker and Sunstreaker too maybe.

Trying to recreate this pic in toy form as best as you could would be awesome:

I have to say I really enjoy this figure. I was never in to the Armada toys or the Unicron Trilogy stuff but this toy is fun to transform and I just LOVE the fact that he has real tank treads that work properly and don't fall off (yes I totally was driving him around my desk in tank mode ).

Betrayal and aftermath on the Lost Light!

Looking forward to seeing the gallery of the G1 Deco Megatron when that's made available.

At least Megs looks forlorn and remorseful for what just transpired.

Due to scale, that shot is not possible with the toys. Here's what I came up with instead ... it's got all of the characters in the right spot in relation to Megatron plus I left the other toys from the Lost Light in the shot as well.



And the group shot ...

that is a really nice collection of the lost light crew now i have to wait for the Armada 2.0 figures to come

we already have CW armada Megs , thrilling 30 Armada Starscream , Universe Hot shot

who's ready for a new mold ?
(glares at Prime, Red Alert, Smoke-screen, Tidal wave, demolisher, Cyclonus , RID sideways, squid-head ( ) , Jet-fire , Jet convoy/ Magna Jet convoy, scavenger, horsemen )

Gallery is looking nice! Love the MTMTE references. Can't wait to get my hands on this figure.

It is time for another entry into the galleries of Seibertron. The big bad himself Megatron comes to you in high quality pictoral form. This is the G1 deco of Combiner Wars Leader Class Megatron inspired by his G1 animation model. Megatron comes with stickers to make him either a Decepticon or Autobot (see semi recent issues of the IDW comics for that story) as well as G1 details. You can also check out the retooled Armada version as well. As always, click the images below to see the full galleries.

Generations Combiner Wars Megatron

SOLD!!!!!!!!

Nice. Likin the Lost Light love you threw in there. Can't wait to get that with an updated Ultra Magnus and Cyclonus.

We need a pic of this guy next to the Masterpiece version.

The insignia thing is weird and annoying, not because I'm against Autobot Megatron, but because they included a sticker for even though they painted that on, and they painted that right below where I'd prefer the insignia and on top of silver paint so I can't just wipe it off.

Where the tampo'd symbol is is where G1 Megatron's chest symbol has always been. They just shaped the torso on this toy awkwardly to warp the proportions of the G1 chest design into making the main part of the chest smaller and the typically insignificant part directly above it much bigger.

It really is a weird design choice considering that even the comics don't have the chest drawn like that.

nice headsculpt.... but thats it, he is too far from g1

Ah, I see it now. It IS pretty bizarre, especially compared to the screencap BERSEKAEL posted.

It's to accommodate his head when transformed in tank mode.

Ooooooohhh...

It's still odd.

I sure hope that's not spoilers for MTMTE.

thats a mighty badass gallery

I hadn't planned on getting G1 Megs, but thanks to these galleries, I might have to! The only thing that really bothers me about his design is those FEET. It's like the designers gave up by the time they reached them and said "Eh.....two big chunks of plastic are foot-like enough. Let's go get a beer!"

Yep, looks great in both modes. Well done, G1 Megs. You finally have a great looking toy and it only took you three decades or so.

He does look awesome, but he's just too big for me. I would've preferred a voyager size. Too bad.

Don't let those feet deter you. They're one of the cooler parts of his transformation, actually. Just think of how much better even those feet are compared to OG Megs.

⇧ My plans for this figure, basically.


Wish the tank barrel didn't stick out of his fusion-cannon like that though.









⇧ Not even in a million years.

I just NEED him!

Come here Megs!! Come to me!

Something I think would have been cool to see in this gallery, but fully understand why it wasn't seen, is a set of comparison pics between this toy and the last G1-esque Leader Megatron toy: The Animated Leader Megatron. Until this toy came along, that one was considered arguably the best G1-looking Leader class Megatron toy, so seeing that one and this one together would have bee a cool "passing of the torch" moment between the two.



I love this shot. Though it's just meant to be between the first Generations Autobot Leader class toy and the first Generations Decepticon Leader class toy, it happens to align with the old European pack-in comic from Milton Bradley that had Jetfire as the Autobot leader instead of Prime:





All hail Megatron's manly chest hairs!

Wow that one looks really good. I always wished the original G1 Megatron was a tank in Alt mode. The gun mode did give it a rich lore with him able to be handled by other deceptions. I just always found him lacking in gun and robot modes for the original G1 toy so I actually traded him away when I was a kid. The next generation of fans will definitely love this.

So elated I found one today, as stores have only been getting a case of one each, and armada and a G1, and for once my timing was perfect enough to get it before it was gone. Posted the pic to the seibertron Facebook page.

Great figure even if his poseability is limited, but he s a good compliment to masterpiece prime until I can set aside a few bucks for Apolyon.

Didn't open up the chest compartment to show his spark chamber for this pic? I am disappointed!

Cool. Megatron is in scale with Masterpiece Optimus

I like everything about this figure except for the red connectors that are used for the arms. There much too lanky.



All these Megatrons carry on a tradition of having a strange looking crotch design. This new Emperor of Destruction is sporting an odd red knob.

This Friday, Seibertron.com is proud to present some refreshed galleries to older installations for Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Menasor and Superion! The Stunticons, making up most of Wave 2 in the Motormaster Voyager and Offroad, Breakdown and Dead End Deluxes, plus Legends Blackjack, join Wave 1 Dragstrip to form the horned gestalt with a sword, and just in time for next week's IDW Opening Salvo.

Similarly, the last addition from Wave 2 to the Aerialbots, Air Raid, can finally become a limb for Silverbolt's torso mode, and together with Alpha Bravo, Skydive and Firefly, plus Legends Powerglide, become Cybertron's (and Starscream's?) main defence. Click on any image below to view the full galleries, updated and reframed, and now including even more comparison shots with previous versions of the characters from G1!

Generations Combiner Wars Superion

Generations Combiner Wars Megatron

Really likingthe face sculpt! Just can't wait for May 2015!

maybe its combined truck mode with wide out spred open chest menasor head in looks small comapred to superion in combined

The main problems with both Menasor and Ultra Prime in comparison to Superion are the proportions of their torsos. Superion's torso used the brilliant move of turning Silverbolt upside-down to make Silverbolt's arms become Superion's thighs, and Silverbolt's legs form the upper torso. This made for a much better-proportioned torso overall with Superion's thighs being reasonably small but not too small and his upper chest being adequately shaped without being too bulky. And above all, Superion's waist is a good distance below his chest thanks to Superion's torso being (for lack of a better tern) tall enough.

Ultra Prime and Menasor, however, do not have the innovative luxuries that went into the design Superion's torso, as they both instead go the classic G1 toy route of having Optimus and Motormaster remain upright and have their lower legs become the combiner's thighs their arms form part of the combiner's upper chest. This results in a torso that has HUGE thighs formed by big chunky lower legs, a very WIDE upper chest with quite a distance between its shoulders, and the waist (piece) being directly under the chest instead of being further under it, making both Menasor and Ultra Prime have incredibly SQUAT torsos overall with no bellies.
