Well I've decided to devote the last bit of my Spending ability to getting Megatron in all his glory throughout the Transformers Series! So far I've gotten: Animated Megatron Animated Deluxe Class Megatron [That Battle Damaged Version from the 2 pack] Cybertron Megatron Energon Megatron Generation 2 Megatron Robot Heroes G1 Megatron And I wonder....how many I would have left to get in order to have him as he has appeared in all the series.....[basically how many megatron toys have been released] I know I need to get Armada and Beast Wars Megatron to complete the gap between Generation 2 Megatron and Energon Megatron. RID Megatron fails to be worthy of having in my possession for his epic lameness as a character and toy. Same thing with Beast Machines Megatron...they really messed him up in that series. By Far Cybertron and Animated Megatron are my favorite versions....I do want to locate a Beast Wars Transmetal Megatron since I think he was the most devious of all and looked cool prior to his dragon version. Anyone else Collecting Megatron?
Yep. Get 'em all! And for BW Megs.. #1 Two-pack Alligator Megatron #2 BW Megatron #3 BW TM Megatron or, preferably, Armada Predacon repaint #4 BW TM2 Megatron IS A MUST HAVE!! I avoid RID & A/E/C shows like plague, but I'm much much more objective when it comes to the toys. I have Armada Megs, RID Megs, Cybertron Galvy. Skipped Energon Megs. As of for RID Megs, from someone like me who hated the RID series with passion, I gotta say.. his figure got tons of fun! Trust me! Here's mine.. Not shown on pics :: Titanium War Within Megatron En-route from online seller(s) to me.. #1 BotCon Shattered Glass 2008 Megatron (Yep, I prefer this, rather than Energon Megatron) #2 HOC Megatron #3 MegaSCF Megatron #4 WST Megatron #5 Universe Legends G2 Megatron #6 Cybertron Jungle-Planet Megatron Makes the total of my Megatron(s) from 18 to 24.. Remaining Megatron(s) on my buy-list for 2009.. #1 G1 Megatron Head Bust #2 Alternity Megatron #3 Mighty Muggs Megatron #4 TF1 Premium Leader Megatron (not feeling much of movie aesthetics, but will get it later) #5 ROTF Megatron #6 Machine Wars Megaplex #7 BW Ultra Megatron And with the remaining ones on my buy-list above, gotta push the total of my Legion of Megatrons to 31.
Course I need an Armada Megatron for my Armada Tidal Wave! Still though I am avoiding the Alligator Megatron. I am always on the lookout for the Transmetal Megatron...he just is a cool figure.
I have both Armada Megatron & Tidal Wave, and not even once I ever think about merging them together. The looks, well, just ridiculous, IMHO...

According to shmax.com, about 206. I checked. But that includes package variants, paint variants, and so on and so forth. Anything with the name 'Megatron' on it. Why not check tfu.info and search for Megatron? They'll have a disambiguation page, check out one of each different Megatron (G1, Beast, RiD, AEC, Movie, Classic/Uni) and at the bottom of the page should include other toys of that char. For a quick estimation? Add up the number of toylines. Then multiply by 2.5. Some toylines had 2 Megs, some had 4, some had just 1, so # of toylinesX2.5 is a pretty good if inaccurate estimation. The first two choices above are better to get a concrete number.
I have Takara Collection Megatron reissue (no orange cap), Henkei Classics Megatron, Movie Premium Leader Megatron, Movie Keychain Megatron, Animated Leader Megatron, 3-inch Titanium Movie Megatron, Revoltech Megatron and Masterpiece Megatron is forthcoming. Once I know whether a Premium version of RotF Leader Megatron is coming out or not, I'll pick him up too. I still pine for the 3-inch Titanium G1 Megatron that was never made.
