The biggest difference between the two is that Megatronia's components each have black paired with another bold color. On the other hand Victorion has a unified color scheme. Some may find Megatronia's colors more exiting, while others prefer the matching look.
Megatronia has a lot of silver paint which collectors can truly appreciate. The shape of this mold makes her mirror Megatron as his more feminine counterpart quite nicely. The details of this figure look excellent in their metallic finish.
Each of the members of Megatronia's team has a different pattern than the Rust Renegades. The dark black makes the neon colors pop. This helps differentiate them so that they look more refreshing to those who might wish to own both.
I would like to take a moment to point out that it appears that the issue of Pyra Magna's miss-assembled knee joints possibly been corrected for Megatronia.
Feel free to discuss your favorite color scheme in the comments!

I have noted that the knee joints on the voyager figures will punch through the shin plastic no matter which way that tab is oriented. The only option is to dremel or file off that little nub that juts up. No matter how it's rotated, it jams up against the shin plastic. The direction in which the nub is inserted during manufacture only seems to affect the severity of the damage it causes when transforming to robot mode. The only way to NOT damage the shins (without kit bashing the thing) is to not click the thighs fully in place. This of course make the voyager taller, but also makes the knee joint much less secure and prone to collapsing.

There's never been any doubt that I would get Megatronia, its just a matter of when. Looks like there will be plenty around for a while. Its odd how the UW have been.
(just using numbers for ease) 1 & 2 finally stopped being available in most places a few months ago simply because they had been out for over a year. 3 & 4 are still available on some sites. 5-8 are sold out on most sites. Lynx Master and Megatronia seem to be readily available and aren't selling out as fast. Of course ALL are still available on eBay depending on how much you are willing to pay.

Rust Dust as she is might actually look pretty good on Megatronia, what with Rust Dust's deco not only fitting with the theme of the 4 Guard's decos (being that Rust Dust is black, silver, and another main color), but Rust Dust's main color being green allows her to fit in well with the 4 Guard since none of them use green for their main color, allowing Rust Dust to add to their overall color theme without intrusive or redundant color overlap.Nik Hero wrote:I'm not one of these TAKARA MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER guys, but this Megatronia is in every way better than Victorion, but one. Megatronia needs Rustdust. She looks silly without her.

Who looks best on Megatronia?
Legends Groove
TAV Override
Legends Wreck-Gar or
Rust Dust...
Posted by Sabrblade on January 31st, 2017 @ 4:27pm CST
Since Rust Dust has the most use of black, my gut's telling me she'll look the best.o.supreme wrote:Something we've long speculated hopefully we will see soon:

Kinda like Cybertron Thunderblast and Galvatron...
The more I see of these figures, the better I feel about getting them. Just waiting on my bill for them now and they'll be in the mail to me soon.

It is strange that they left him out. I'll just find out for myself when they come in. At the very least he can't look any worse on her than he does on UW Defensor.

Nope, my plan all along was to re-purpose Wreck-Gar with a reprolabel decepticon sticker or 2 and rename him Jester to go with the card theme and make him. I think he looks awesome as a bra on Megatronia. Needs more neon.

Perfect, simply perfect.
And Alpha, I was thinking of the exact same picture

Megaempress, and she is indeed built from his spare parts. Why they made her female we may never know. Though if they're anything like IDW Jhiaxus...
btw TFWiki says "Unlike Pyra Magna, Bludgeon and Onslaught from the G2 Bruticus set, Megaempress has the misassembled knee struts." Uh, what?

Shouldn't that be in reverse? Don't tell me Takara still hasn't learned from their mistake?

the biblical story of Adam and Eve: Adam came first, and Eve was made using one of his ribs right? Well, Megatron came first, and then Megaempress came from his spare parts.
Biblical reference in Unite Warriors! WooHoo!

Not quite as bad as Legends Arcee... but very close. Very unnervingly close.

Intentional or not, I'll accept that
Posted by Underc3211 on February 2nd, 2017 @ 1:35am CST
I'm calling it now; we need either the full team or at least megaempress canonized. I'd love to see her interact with her "husband" exspecially since megatrons good now.

Yeah; I would've liked some expression to match the teams anime esque personalities. I mean we have a seductress, a stalker, and questionable herald of unicorn but they all have a blank expression (minus flowspade becuase she has a mouthplate and moonheart I don't mind either. It's the rest that suffer.)

Regarding the "Which bra for Megatronia" conundrum, whilst I'll probably try and get her on her own and thus won't bother combining her, I'd say the best option would be Wreck-Gar with select parts painted black and a new head (Shapeways to the rescue!). I seem to recall the mold can be finagled into a sort of pistol mode, so perhaps with some further Shapeways upgrades, Megatronia could gain the ability to rip her bra off and use it as a gun, stunning the enemy with her brazenness and making them easy prey.
The new character, meanwhile, could be called Sexpistol.

Nope, a couple swords, a blade (no clue on the proper name), a shield and an axe, but no pistols.
That's why you use Wreck-Gar and just rename him Jester to go with the card theme. For me he will be their lackey/whipping boy.

That's actually a good idea; I need wreckgar now.
