megatron Free Assistive Guide

This toy was a gift for my grandson who is 2 years old. He absolutely loves it. He went crazy went it was delivered. I was very satisfied with everything, including the delivery which came 2 days earlier than we thought.

this is by far one the best Megatrons ive Seen since Generation 1 and with his transformation and i love how he has his fusion cannon like his G1 self
this is a must pick up i think the only downside is when u put the headmaster on megatron there is no sound changes like on leader class bulkhead.

I was skeptical at first about buying leader megatron because of the bad paint job. I am glad I waited for the Premium series. His repaint is AWESOME! on top of it he’s a great figure and relatively easy to transform.

It’s a fun toy. It’s a little hard to transform at first, but becomes easier with time.

Let me start by saying I initially HATED Megatron’s movie design. While I knew he couldn’t really logically turn into a smaller handgun in a live-action film, I felt that a tank or a huge ground-cannon would have still been more preferable than what we actually got.
As time went on though I watched the movie a couple more times and I started to like the less intelligent and more brutal interpretation of the character. I started to realize that his monstrous/demonic/alien appearance really worked well with the new interpretation of the character and I started to really become a fan of the new design/look for the character so that made the release of the movie leader figure all the more painful to me. The initial Movie Leader Megatron was, for lack of a more brilliant critique, a piece of trash. It was a travesty to have to see him get the weird white, pink and blue colors that he didn’t have in the movie. The voyager-class version was a little better than the horrible fugly leader-class Megs but it still didn’t accurately capture the movie design in my humble opinion.
The great thing about Hasbro though is they certainly know how to redeem themselves for their mistakes and the premium series was like a gift from the Heavens to us Transformers fans who actually liked the movie designs but hated the initial movie figures with the poor paint decos and horrible QC (quality control) issues.
So fear not, the few of you out there who actually like Megatron’s movie design. Premium Megatron is, as much as I hate the expression “all that and a bag of chips.” Hasbro really got the dark grey/silver colors from the movie down and the paint aps look great. They aren’t “Jin Saotome (a world-famous action-figure customizer) great” but they’re great nonetheless and they really make the figure stand out on your shelves. There’s even really subtle “battle damage” and burns that you can see if you pick the toy up and check out all the neat features and gimmicks.
In these days where the economy is pretty weak it’s hard to justify paying $50+ for a figure but Premium Leader Megatron is definitely worth the $$$ if you love the movie design and were disappointed by the way the first Leader Megs turned out.
I don’t know if little kids would really like this guy or not but as a collector and fan of “Movie Megatron” I really felt like I got a good quality toy for what I paid when I bought him.
