The alt mode is essentially lame and the colors, while not bad, should have been more robust.

Come to think of it the only one that looks like it has a decent paint job is Prime.

The chain hand is pretty cool, though.

Since you have just over 100 posts and joined under three months ago, I'd say your feelings are justified.

Oh wait...it was a jab at everyone else?
Well, keep practicing. Soon you'll be great at making everyone else feel like crap too!

A piece of plastic barely covering the head, which is clearly visable? Please. Just because they slapped the name Megatron on it doesnt change the fact that its a steaming pile poo.
booo!

I feel the same way.
I really, really want to like this figure, but the visible head in alt mode and the lack of head articulation (come on, heads on balljoints should be the law) is making it really difficult.

The lack of articulation comes as a surprise, considering how articulated other TF's have been and also considering this is a Leader class.
I knew the visible head in alt.mode was coming because the Movie Prequel comics (especially issue #2) gave it away. It's still a shame they couldn't have disguised it better by having it sink lower or something.

Armada Megatron was not much better in that area and Energon Megatron's head was quite visible too.

Energon Megatron did have the benefit of having his head on the underside, though.

I haven't had any luck so I'm just gonna have to wait to get him and figure it out then.
(yes, I plan on renaming most of the movie figs with G1 names)
Posted by skywarp-2 on May 18th, 2007 @ 5:14pm CDT
so it works from that angle, still nice figure, just they need to add Silver coloring and the grey plastic should go. Now if Takara Tomy was to Robovision-ise him and Leader Prime with fair amounts of Diecast and fix the head situation, then those would be a better pic.. as it is i doubt many variations will be introduced into the line.. for now, this is the best Megatron we can get so far.. my hopes are that they decide to do a Movie Masterpiece Series and do a proportionate SS, a Better Megatron, Optimus-Chrome w/removable face sheild for lip enthusiasts...and a Bumblebee 70s and 08 version that resembles the movie to a T..with a correct chest, and movable helmet sheild...until then these sorry piewces of plastic money sucking merchandise will have to do ...I'm happy but disappointed at the same time..

EDIT: Possibly, I'm being generaous because I can't see squat in those pictures, and I feel like everyone else is beeing rather harsh. I would like some head articulation... I'm not going to let that be a deal-breaker though, and I'm awaiting more pics, especially of the "fusion cannon"... Or, as the description makes me think of it, the "Mega-doken"
Posted by Robzimus Prime on May 18th, 2007 @ 7:36pm CDT
But what I can't accept is his HEAD... Firstly being semi-exposed in alt mode, and then not being able to move in robot mode. That's really slack!

I agree, thats why I'm renaming mine when I get him. Why still get him?
Because this looks cool...

Horrible? I think you need to go back and check the dictionnary to see what really means "horrible".

I think that once you see Ryan's Gallery of Leader Class Megatron, you'll understand what "Horrible" really means in this instance, until then, look up and learn how to spell dictionary..
I will definately get leader Megaton, but I'm still hoping ot see some kind of Masterpiece from Takara, especially buimblebee, he really needs it.. the chest is all wrong, the legs look like crapola on a stick, and the helmet doesn't have battle mode..
Megatron would need to be cast in metallic silver coloring almost all over, and chrome all over prime...and finally Starscream would be revised to have better proportions, similar to the movie itself and not a monkey version, not that the movie version wasn't too monkeyish to begin with..

Sorry, I hate to be a butt in, but Ryan makes crap look good all the time.
Take the BoneCrusher gallery, that thing looks like a Evil Chunky Chocolate Chunk, but still he pulled it off.
I agree with most of you, this bot isn't perfect!
But then again, few are.

Who's galleries are you talking about? I hope you don't mean Seiberton's, because they're some of the best out there, if you don't like 'em, don't look at 'em.

Ryan's galleries are most of the time overkill and too late in the game. Honestly, he should stick to smaller galleries, especially when his is #2543 for a given toy.

You're an absolute troll. If you can't follow the rules and be polite to other board members, then you need to leave. There's a better class of people here and we don't need to be sullied by people like you.
