    Although I really love the detailing on this toy, I'm not into that stick death.com twig arm. reminds me of Mr. Twig from Southpark.

    What's up with the Crab arm motief (1 huge arm 1 purposeless tiny arm)

    I'm also truthfully not liking his feet, his toes are supposed to be Treads not actual toes.

    and the fact his Cannon Arm doesn't even bend nor does his head move for that matter, how can this toy be truly taken seriously?

    not to mention that huge unpainted black shoulder pad.

    I prefer Premium Megs to this scrap pile (pun intended)

    urgh, Pass. I bought a lot of movie 1 toys. Regret most of them now. They'll have to be a lot more impressive than this to make me want to blow £40.

    His head does move, the only articulation that doesn't work is the elbow joint on the murderarm

    Y'know, I really, REALLY, really want to buy that toy, I'll probably make him my first leader toy of the line.

    But can we please see his sword fully deployed? :[

    His legs below the the knee are backwards.
    EDIT: It seems that both could be right. His movie mode is displayed on the box but his instructions show opposite.




    And yes he HAS the instructions. They are in the gallery.

    Take some time to go threw all the pics.



    I have already cleared a shelf for this Guy! I LOVE IT!

    Megatron is so epic he has full on treads for heel spurs. lol

    Seriously though, I can see why some people would have a hate on for this thing. Though for me, I like his crazy deformity with the twisted little hook like arm in contrast to his huge mega death murder arm of death. It's one of those, it's so ridiculous it's cool, kind of things.
    Also given that he's supposedly rebuilt from the pieces of his dead soldiers, it makes that deformed look make sense. plus that concept is just full on win in itself.

    I also don't really mind if the murder arm doesn't have a articulate elbow; sure it would have been nice, but given all the things it's trying to do, I'd be surprised if they even would be able to fit an elbow in there.

    Btw has anyone noticed that from the packaging pics, comparing Megatron to Prime, Prime is significantly taller
    :( 
    I hate when they do that.

    Looking really good, wonder if he talks like Optimus' toy?

    If the head moves it doesn't look like it moves much, unless the photographer just hasn't made an effort to show it off.

    I really can't decide if I should get this guy or not...
    I'll probably wait for the premium version.

    Well done my friend. Well done. This was an excellant comparison gallery, especially showcasing that Meg's "gimp" arm really isn't all that small. When you have nothing to compare it to, it looks inbreed-tiny, but placed next to other bots, especially his Movie 1 version, you can see that it really isn't bad, just small compared to his massive murder-death-chaos arm.

    Again, great job here, really top rate! Just makes me want the figure sooo much more.

    All Hail Megatron!
